I believe it'll be 210 USD. IIRC 125 GBP was the price point for the holiday battleforces and they shook out at 210 USD as well.

That's well beyond the current exchange rate. Today, 31 Jan, 125 pounds = $165. I tremble at the exchange tricks that GW pulls with the AU$ if this is their typical pricing policy.

This is just an observation, but doesn't that Autarch seem a bit of place amongst those cloaked rangers? Shouldn't they have a cloak and hood too?

Well 125£ translates roughly to 160€ which is a lot.

But I am pretty sure that it does provide some savings then getting them separately (so if you get someone to split it, do it) but it is still expensive for 15 guys and 1 big one.

Costs more than those absurd super-giants. Wow...

Weirdly they had 125-130GBP on those...and both pan out to 210USD.

Apparently there is another reveal today, so hopefully its the Codex itself...

it's probably not the codex. They almost always do miniature reveals on monday. I am guessing it's the rest of the corsairs

Corsairs...BAH!! Who wants them anyway! They're Guybrush Threepwoods compared to the Drukhari!

Sorry, sorry...they just get under my skin everytime...I'm still doing the exercises that my therapist recommended...

They've been doing model reveals separately to Path of the Preview, usually FW stuff. Last week we saw the new Titanicus... thing alongside Warlocks.

Not showing the codex cover at LVO while clearly stating that this was 'everything' coming for Eldar makes a codex unveil inevitable imo. I just hope it can also be part of an updated codex roadmap at some point this week.

Maybe a deeper look at Shining Spears, including Exarch options and their inevitable strat-that-should-just-be-a-special rule?

Ooo, can it be for their lances to shoot?
Are we at that point where 'weapon can also be gun' is relegated to stratagems?

No no, it's just relegated to Marine weapons.

Valraks new video shows the instructions manual. The rangers actually have build options outside the standard hold a sniper pose. There’s the classic dual pistol, a knife pose, etc

There is actually some cool poses there.

But there was no pictures on the new shroud riders but I have suspicion that there is some compatible parts.

if Corsairs are in the craftworld codex then the Nachmun book will come before it along with the Kill Team box with whoever the Corsairs are up against, could be new Chaos models too maybe? Imo we're looking at Eldritch Omens, Nachmund + KT, Craftworld codex, Chaos Codex.

I'm interested in the battlebox, I have nether of those armies and i'd love to start my Eldar force up again, but getting the box then having to wait months for the rest to come out is not my idea of 'a good start to an army' so I might wait.

Doesn't seem like there'll be another Path of the Preview today.

Newsletter hasn't gone out yet, that usually follows the final article of Monday.

Codex Article

The new Aeldari codex is big, and we mean really BIG. Clocking in at 200 pages, it’s only eight pages shorter than Codex: Space Marines.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/01/31/this-is-the-new-aeldari-codex-and-its-absolutely-enormous/

Article is up

Damn, we get one of the Crappy Covers, oh well

Oh. I wanted to see the corsairs...

Whatever happened to the dino riding eldar? IIRC they were referenced in 2nd Ed.

maybe tomorrow.

In fact, we’ll have more Aeldari reveals tomorrow – they’ll be coming thick and fast,

Man, that's a *fantastically* uninspired bit of artwork for the cover of a Codex coinciding with the first new Avatar in like 25 years.

Hard disagree there, love this cover.

Scorpions on the cover but no new models.
C'mon now GW.

Are those war walkers new?
It is the side parts, they look more curved that I remember.

At the end of the article is something that sound so good to my ears: "This isn’t just an exciting time for Aeldari, but for all Warhammer 40,000 xenos players – after the craftworlds touch down, there’s something gribbly and chitinous coming. We don’t want to say too much right now, but there are lots of them, they’ve come a long way, and they’re VERY hungry. For biomass. Okay, you forced it out of us – it’s the Tyranids.''

Bah, just reds and blue-greens!? Eldar covers should make you taste the rainbow!
