Those Beastmen could be used/converted to Titanicus scaled Keepers of Secrets.

Those Slaanesh steeds are excellent. So so creepy and cool.

Ah, cool stuff for peeps who care, nothing interesting for me though. #firstworldproblems

I am again blown away by the Slaaneshi stuff.

Just absolutely amazing stuff. Dynamic, ostentatious, but without being overly busy.

Amazing stuff.

And the dude kneeling resolves one picture from the engine.

Slaaneshi stuff looks pretty good, but I much prefer the heavily armoured look of the Painbringers. Yes this stuff totally fits Slaanesh, but it's not really what aesthetic I like on my kits, personal preference.

The boxset is a disappointment considering we'd already seen the Sister and Lilith isn't a big surprise.

I usually have zero expectations for these Previews, but I at least expected the advent calendar stuff to get revealed.

And I see at least one rumour engine revealed in the Blissbarb Archers kit.

Oh, and the Battletome cover shows some kind of pleasure palanquin in the background

That new Lelith is a trash fire. I'm gonna grab a spare of the resin one before she disappears.

One new Dark Eldar model, that we already knew was coming is a bit lame.
What about Grotesques, Mandrakes and all the other stuff that needs an update?

I reckon the marble statue rumour engine will form part of that palanquin.

No rush on the box set, but since I do have sisters and wych cult, could be worse.
Totally disagree with above poster, Lilith is pretty damn far from a trash fire.

I really like this new model, way more expressive than the resin one.

Blissbarb Archers look great! Some of the best AOS-models yet! Great both as is and for conversions, sprue-pics pending ofcourse...

I was expecting reveals related to the advent teasers though? Wasn't that the plan?

I must literally have different eyes to the people that like new Lelith, I think she's just terrible. And the OG resin one went from in stock to out of stock on the UK webstore within about 20 minutes of the announcement, which is a pretty strong indictment of the new one imo

Was the assumption rather than the plan. It is a wee bit disappointing, but the Slaaneshi stuff makes it up for it.

Have to agree with those not liking the new Lilith, the tiny contact point and massive hair is a problem for anyone gaming. The resin one was just so much nicer, and I'd even go through the pain of finecast to have it instead.

Overall, pretty disappointing box from the DE perspective, I can't comment on the Sisters.

Those slaaneshi units are just stunning, the seekers in particular are awesome.

Nah, there is nothing wrong with new Lilith, but there was nothing wrong with old either, barring resin. The only real issue is the increased cost of the new model that is too similar to the old one.

Well would you look at that, literally nothing from The Advent Calendat revealed. How pathetically predictable

It was also in the background of the Sigvald the Magnificent trailer. (Ignore the red arrows, i was lazy and took the image from the Sigvald thread.)

Slaaneshi stuff looks fantastic. Will be a seriously tempting release. Hope this means EC follow at some point in 2021

I agree about the box, my buy will depend on how good Wyches and Scourges are in the new Codex. I like new Lelith, but I wouldn't buy the box just for her.

I love those new mounts! No more the poor mount under a hunched hulk of a warrior!

Colour my very very happy for Slaaneshmas

And the new Slangors are great, I was worried about them, but the Direchasm one and these ones have soothed my fears. All suitable lithe and deadly. I'm really going to enjoy next year - esp since with all these additions I can see GW reworking Slaanesh to kick out the Deprvaity dependence and let me get an army on the table



Although those advent sneak peaks suggest there might be more in the pipe line to show off perhaps over the coming week/days.

Welp, that good old eldar song and dance again. Heres your one model for this year, now go fetch, only available in a 250$ box set, it's a plastic version of a thing you alrwady have.

Why no, it doesnt come with Talos, Wracks or flyers, we are contractually obligated to only ever put Wyches, Kabs, Reavers, Venoms Raiders and Scourges in box sets!!!

New Lelith is better imo. The old one was pretty bland. Disappointed that new death minis weren't teased but I guess that makes sense with the slower release schedule.

They made new Lelith weirdly thicc when she's meant to be lithe and fast, the face has gone from attractive but menacing to just frothing berserker, and the hair is ridiculous - it's bigger, but *less* detailed, compare the tops of the heads - fewer, bigger strands. It's bad, it's a bad model, they did a bad thing.

The good news....more cheap DE on eBay as the sisters buy the boxset!
Agree on the probable lacklustre release for Drukhari though. Maybe its a Craftworld year, lol.

Am I detecting a bit of a Diaz vibe on the head of the Blissbarb on foot champion?

The silly hair is GW's modern design aesthetic. All their dynamic models tend to suffer from it...

Lilith is not thicc, the main image is compressing her body due to angle.
I so far have liked all 4 new plastic aeldari...jain zar, druzhar, Kyganil and now Lilith. Hopefully more to come.
