But does that explain how rushed the PDF looks?

.........actually yeah it'd be bad regardless?

I highly doubt it.
If it was planned, it was a dumb plan.
Any good will generated by the "look we listen to the players" wouldn't be enough to gain back the good will lost by the stupidity of how it was written in Codex upon release.

I'm glad it's fixed for the Infantry Autarch, but I'm still sore about the lack of Skyrunner Autarch options.

So. that was fast.

Don't think I've seen a versus box contents jump to sold separately so quickly before.
And the avatar, aspect bikers and combat patrol. Good grief. This looks like a real release weekend for once.

Just in time for payday weekend!

That a wrap for Eldar? Just the KT corsairs left as stand alone?

Yep. Khaine only knows how long that will take, though. Baby Sisters and their opponents took until this release, but apparently eldar get fast tracked for solo releases.

 Nevelon wrote:

That is correct.

Should be May or June for them to see a release.

As a point of interest that I do not remember hearing mentioned in the reviews of the models, they seem to be a kit designed some time ago. The arms actually all can be mixed+matched fairly easily. There's one Specialist even that has twin Power Blades and a Shuriken Pistol(not the Shaderunner!) that they did not really show off at all...because it's just a wicked looking serrated power blade that denotes which one it is.

In for the Avatar and 2 Spears boxes. Not fussed about ranger units or combat patrol.

Chalnath released the first week of November; preorders were October 30th. Roughly 4 months from boxed set to individual releases.

Do we know if the jet bikes in the combat patrol are dual kits Shining spears/wind runners ? It's a new kit right ?

No, the jetbikes in the combat patrol are the old ones, both Shining Spears and Shroud Runners are two different new kits.

You really do get 6 bikes in that box. Quite nice.

Damn... So how are the jet bikes in the combat patrol ? They are plastic right ?

The new plastic jetbikes came out in 7th? Still a reasonably modern kit.

I think they have suffered rules-wise for their broken days of yore, but the new book looks OKish for them? Probably not the most point efficient way to get firepower to the table, but not a complete trap choice.

The Windriders themselves were relased in 2015, but the sculpts themselves are much older - they're Goodwin's sculpts from 2007, and were shelved for unknown reasons for over 8 years. It was a rather bizzare sequences of events.

Wow, that's great how fast the new models are coming out.

I'm hoping the Shining Spears have the old style plastic stand with the simple insert, instead of the ball joint they have on the Vertus Praetors. Far too wobbly.

Has anything new been on the old stands? The shroudrunners were on the new ones, I would expect the same for the spears.

They are a little harder to magnetize, but still doable. I drop a tiny bit of green stuff into the socket, push in the magnet and smooth it off. File top of the ball flat and glue the magnet there. Makes transportation a lot easier.

Shining Spears £37.50 €50
Rangers £35 €45
Autarch £24€31.50
Combat Patrol £90 €120
Avatar £60 €80
Shroud Runners £40 €55

The combat patrol is great, the only downside I see is not buying more than one because suddenly you have a crap load of jetbikes.

Or, for Saim-Hamn players: How many copies of units that touch the ground do you want? The guardians you can put in a WS, but your seers are on bikes and WLs just track dirt everywhere.

I see a lot of ouch in those prices, but then the autarch seems ok and the avatar is actually less than I thought by a fair bit.

The Avatar's £60? That's about 20-25 less than expected. Surprising.

Is it ? yeah that's surprising

So £99 rrp for the Eldar half of Eldritch Omens, considering that I paid less than that from Element and was able to sell the Chaos half for 50 odd quid that turned out to be a decent deal.

Bit odd that the Shroud Runners are £2.50 more than the Shining Spears, is there an extra half sprue or something?

Not sure on the sprues but it might be the case. Shroud Runners are 6 guys on 3 bikes whereas Shining Spears are 3 guys on 3 bikes, so those extra 3 dudes gotta come from somewhere I guess?

Avatar is a pretty good price at £60. Comparatively speaking. I mean, it’s still a single plastic model, just considerably less than I was expecting.

Dual boxes always are if you want all models for one side. Still pricey but compared to getting solo cheaper. Thus i always laugh at 'i wait for solo releases' comments.

With potential 3rd party discount its possibly going to be about £50 - Feels like that's a good price.
If only other GW products followed the same vein..

This was hugely unexpected for me. And I have to say I am a tiny bit sad. Had I known this would be available that quickly, I wouldn't have bought the box. This is a first for this kind of box set.
