New Storm Guardians & Guardian Defenders combo kit, including a new defensive platform for Storm Guardians and loads of bare heads. Weeping sweet tears of Isha erm joy.

Also, poor Ork players with their monopose & optionless new Boyz kit

Excellent. I’m so happy Guardians were redone, and basically the same design, which was already great.

Edit: also Path of the Preview is gonna be weekly which is great news.

They look great. Even the helmetless heads look good.

Eldar getting actual big release. These are truly dark times.

Nice to see sticky out, not plastered to their head pointy ears!

It's the most beautiful thing i've seen.

I still expect their Combat Patrol to contain Dire Avengers, Vypers and War Walkers.

Nice! I like the nod to the original epic wave serpent design on the Serpent Scale Shield. Looks like a nice and sharp kit with plenty of options- liking most of the bare heads too. Could make a cool killteam with this kit, it looks basically like the existing guardians but in hi-def with lots of options.
Path of the Preview as well to reveal more every week- they really are going to town on Eldar which is great to see. Looking forward to seeing how the Corsairs turn out, hoping there's a good bit of cross compatibility across the range too which could eb a modellers delight. Very excited again about eldar- haven't felt this way about them in an age!

Going to be these guardians, existing farseer, bikes and wraith lord apparently..

Those are lovely. And hopefully can be used to kitbash with the 40 odd old ones i have on sprues!

Video confirms 11 models. 10 Guardians, 1 Grav platform.

Needs more Chainswords

Aren't these also monopose?

Very nice looking kit I guess this means new Dire Avengers on the horizon as well?

They don’t look it, and definitely not in the way the Ork kit is, considering this has two squad options and the Ork one doesn’t even make 1 squad of the same loadout.

Because I think peeps may have missed it due to staring at the pretties?

2022 is going to be a big year for the Aeldari with the release of the Eldritch Omens boxed set, but that’s just the start! There’ll be a weekly series of articles – the Path of the Preview – where we reveal even more new Aeldari. So join us again next Monday for another big reveal, and sign up for our newsletter to ensure you don’t miss any announcements.

Would be nice, but the Dire Avengers are a fair bit newer than the Guardian kit, and I’d rather they plasticised all the other Aspect Warriors before redoing the DA.

I’ve already got 30 defenders, but it looks like some storms are going to join them on the shelf.

I like how they are keeping the same aesthetics so far. Eldar look awesome, they just need new plastics. Glad we are getting them like this.

I just hope we'll have enough to outfit everyone with either loadout.

The rumored corsairs for KT, will they use these bodies with an additional sprue? or will they be something totally different?

This is everything I hoped for in a new Guardian box! They look amazing, and I can't wait to see more.

The accompanying text states that you can build a full squad of either Defenders or Storm guardians so I guess we should be ok.

I was gonna reply the same thing but I guess they mean powerswords or Chainswords, which is a bit less of a given.

Yes, these are monopose. It looks like it is arm swaps.


We'll likely never know why the Ork Boyz set is the way it is.

Arm and head swaps are good enough, having full multipose would be very difficult with the design of their body armour.

So with confirmation of the serpent platform, anyone willing to stand their ground on the totally fake rumours yet?

I was under the impression that monopose meant they're limited to specific combinations of parts and locked into a specific pose without any flexability - arms go with specific bodies etc? I've seen the Necromunda kits called monopose even though they have head and an alternate weapon option for each pose, so if it's the same here with 1 set of poses but with a choice of arms for either unit, is that not still monopose?

Arm and head swaps as long as they’re flat/ball joints, which there’s no reason they shouldn’t be from the design, isn’t really monopose anymore. If you can change the head, head direction and arms between any of the models, that’s all you really need.

Just checked out the DA on the GW webstore, and I had completely forgotten that they had a dedicated plastic kit Its been so long since I touched Eldar that I thought they still had the Guardian based conversion set

The choice of armored belly buttons for the female guardians is a bit odd.

This new Eldar roll out is starting to feel like that time when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone...

"An Eldar Avatar with multiple weapon options."

"Please GW...this is too much! You have to stop!"

"A Combat Patrol box with Howling Banshees."

"This is wrong! Its not natural!"

"New Eldar Warlock conclaive with new, updated rules."

"WITCHCRAFT!"
