Heavy Stubber has a little bit of Smartgun to it.

Khorne band is awesome but vampires are kinda just there. Looks like at least one rumour engine is solved though.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Space cops! Love them for the most part. If there are enough lowered visor helmets to cover the whole squad I'm sold.

Godzillaphon has GOATed. Grass is more radioactive now.

Space Desks for Kill Team.

I must have those control panels...

And I spot a Webber in that Arbite kit.

Cerberus looks amazing, now give me those Breachers!

I'm never going to call them "Ar-bee-tees".

"Ar-bites" forever and always.

Gimp mask is an interesting choice of kit for the fella with the cuffs, but at least it's not the Leashmaster

Arbites look excellent, nice update to the previous kit and the old metal ones I already have will fit right in.

They did say there's enough bits to make the whole squad with riot gear, so I presume that includes Lex-mandated helm regulations.

that was a great preview, deserved the hype for once

That's because it is an upgrade frame for existing Dark Eldar warrior kit. Still like the parts on it.

The space cops do look good, for a bunch of fascist bully-boys. I feel a bit sorry for the dog though. How does he lick his doggy bits?

The nasty elves look terrible. I think it's the heads, but maybe even the underlying kit is starting to look a bit dated?

I have to find an excuse to fit a Cerberus into one of my 2 HH armies. That thing is easily more WH40k than any existing WH40k Marine vehicle. The (poorly named) Desolation squad shows just how far the current Marine models are straying from that aesthetic.

Disappointing that two of the options were 'slightly wych-y kabalite' and 'slightly wrack-esque kabalite', and 'arch-sybarite' is just a really weird title.

I like both kill teams although Arbites are obviously cooller.

So the arena champion was not a one off and murder elves wear pants now? Disgusting.

I'm going to have to get used to the new look of Arbites. Not sure if I'll end up liking it yet. The models should make a nice base for Crusader conversions, though. Who knows how long it's going to take GW to make a box of those.

The just upgrade sprue KT is always weaker than the completely brand new KT, however the Dark Eldar are so mehhhh I'm tempted not to buy the set as I doubt I will be able to sell them on to recoup some of my cost.

I mean sure, if you’ve always enjoyed being wrong and want to carry on being wrong. Just use them alongisde your Ass-tarts and Cus-toads.

That was one of the best previews in a while.

The Marines with the missiles galore are clearly ridiculous but I don’t actually mind them. I really like the silhouette of the dreadnought.

The Lizardmen are the stars of the show for me. The current Saurus kit was my first Warhammer kit ever and these are a great update. They actually look like the art now. The Slann is excellent, I think I even prefer it to Kroak. And new feathered dinos. And that’s like half the stuff coming for them!

The Warcry box impressed me even following the lizards which says something. Love the ascetic monk Soulblight, particularly the pariah I think it was called with the bat on his shoulder, and the werewolf/bat/creature. The Khorne band are cool as well, I like how the leader has a mask and two skulls to imitate the three heads of Karanak.

The DoK warband is eh. The models are fine but it’s the third DoK band and I was hoping g for something different.

Cerberus is cool but not much to say. It’s a Cerberus but plastic.

Really like the Arbites. It’s very 40k that the Enforcers on Necromunda are fairly grounded sci-fi cops and then the 40k supercops are dressed almost like medieval knights. I don’t have the same connection to Arbites as some, they were mostly before my time, but it’s always cool to see old 40k ideas redone.

yea, they said it after a made by comment. Weird decision, they should have use the occasion to remake the whole kit, since its starting to look dated

People keep saying this, I think the DE warrior kit has held up really well.

Wish the judge had an overcoat to be honest, that's the only main disappointment. Maybe that could come later with a character.

Man I wish they at least make new pattern for those splinter weapon like a new shuriken weapon for the Corsair, or at least a left hand Blaster, instead we got Kabalite 2.0 with....not-imperium needle pistol and a hand throwing grenade, Corsair even make a right hand version for Neuro disruptor and Fusion pistol

It's a stinger, a traditionally haemonculus weapon.

Of all the things to complain about...

Well clearly it's not the imperium needle pistol i'm talking about. this one didn't even had a needle.

theyre not terrible (weird to say since they probably were the best kit ever when they were released a decade or two ago....how time fly), but they are a far cry from the quality of modern gw kit

As someone who bought Dark Eldar just to use them as adversaries in the various 40k RPGs, the prospect of a set that turns regular DE Warriors into a unit of unique specialists is just wonderful.

Such a pleasant individual, as always.

Dang, the Killteam and 40k stuff looks really tempting. As much as I dieslike giving anymore money to GW, these boxes could get me to do so...
Lets see if they are available in sufficient numbers from my favourite mailorder... Don't know if the artificial shortage still persists or if GW has ceased to go that route.
