Rhana Dandra is going to take place in my wallet, apparently.

No launch box? Or new combat patrol? That will complicate my decision making process. I want pretty much everything, but with no bundle what get picked up first?

I guess I could just start with the codex and see what jumps out at me. Or codex + a Phoenix lord or two, as I don’t have any of the new ones in metal.

Hopefully your mighty champion: Vi'sa will not fail you in your time of need.

They had the limited edition
edition codex, I'm guessing that will be in some sort of box set.

As I really enjoy tactical rocks, the eldar looks really good to me. Half the eldar design budget blown on tactical rocks.

I dont need all of them but Fuegan is an old favourite that served me well in older editions.
Also Asurmen I waited a long time for. And probably finally grab me some warp spiders (but not Lhykhis, she is a bit to much).

No, just the limited edition codex that they always do. If there was a box set they’d have shown it.

The combat patrol supposedly contains warp spiders, so it's likely later to stop cannibalism of the sales.

I forgot about that. Makes sense. We’ll probably know for sure shortly. I’d assume the new CP will be in the codex, so will pop up in reviews.

Hopefully that will be a choice of 2, 3 or 4 models rather than 2 or 4.

Based on existing evidence, I would say that that is unlikely. No squad size middle ground in 10th edition!

2 or 4, and each can take a choice of 2 weapons, but each war walker cannot mount 2 of the same weapons, and each walker cannot replicate the weapons of another walker in The same unit, and each weapon fielded in the unit must be taken exactly 2.5 times the number of models in the unit.

More likely they'll be just like Carnifexes now; box of two, unit size 1-2 and max 6 models per army

They do look good in plastic! Here's hoping the Combat Patrol box or bundle turns up sooner than later.

Btw about the note -
* This product is delayed in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

There was a notice recently put up on a retailer site in Australia briefly explaining the supply issues. Not sure if it's entirely related, or only affects Aus. Not sure even if GW ships to Sydney first and then from there stock goes to New Zealand and Japan either. Anyway what it said was:

"ATTN: GW Stock Shortages

The Games Workshop Australia warehouse is currently in the process of relocating, in addition to general shipping and production delays. As a result there has been widespread shortages of Games Workshop products affecting all retailers. Rest assured we are continually managing our inventory and placing frequent orders for all out of stock items.

GW advises stock will improve on or after Monay 13th Jan."

That GW told retailers in Aus things would improve after the 13th might have been a bit hopeful or premature. Guess customers will find out soon enough.

Thank you for reminding me that Codex: Legion of the Damned existed at one point, even if that wasn't the codex you were referring to.

Wait, could we be gwtting a new Codex Legion of the Damned instead of salamanders?

While I’d love to see some LotD in plastic, if it’s a codex and not just a digital download/WD entry I’ll be torqued.

The thought did cross my mind at that picture. There are 2 major sources of fire on SM: LotD and Sallies.

But aside from plot-breaking Warp shenanigans (which, admittedly, are always a possibility) there wouldn't be any Gravis-armored Damned Legionnaires, would there?

It would take minimal work to fluff up primaris LotD, even with the assorted theory's about what they are.. Indominus reinforcements lost to the warp, or they manifest from the warp in a more modern vision. We’ve seem far worse lore bending to shoehorn new models.

But I’d expect the first we see LotD to be in tacticus armor, lost interecessors. Not gravis. I do however, think a special unit/named character in flamestorm aggressor armor for the Salamanders is far more likely.

I guess that depends on how much different equipment the Primaris that were sent to the Black Templars had

So I understand deathwatch won LVO, so in my head whoever cut them got fired over the backlash, rehired to write the new index but will now get fired again for over egging and army they want rid of.

A quick look at Lhykhis...

She is sooooooooooo cool I want that model so bad, but I don't think I will be able to get it as it will probably be sold out quick. I am hoping that they make her super broken so all the power gamers buy one, then Nerf her into oblivion so they all sell her on Ebay, then I can get one on the cheap, lol. But seriously, the new Eldar range looks so good, just classic look but refined. Can't wait to get this codex.

I must say that Lhkykhis has shaken things up on the Eldar front. Prices might be wild but the new sculpts for the Eldar range are definitely good.

Am I the only one who looks at some of these models and thinks, "How are you supposed to transport these models?"

They look amazing (for foul xenos)!

If you play eldar you already ready know, that they are going to break, a lot, all the time. Just goes with the faction lol

Prices for this week:


5€ increase on the Wave Serpent for including the Falcon and no change for the War Walkers just double the price for double the models.
Same price for the Aspects and Phoenix lords as for the previous ones

Oh, the characters are 35€ now. Did I miss the last price hike or is that GW the next one in the price already? Last time I checked characters like that were 34€.

Battle Focus now basically gives a bunch of units strategem like abilities on a resource.

I get that game balance is a thing, and resource management is part of it. But representing the inherent grace and speed of a race that only 2-6 of them can do a turn seems off.

“Sorry bob, joe’s squad used up all the racial speed this turn, you’ll have plod along like a slow mon-key”

26" Flickerjump + charge on Lhykhis' unit?

Game play is a thing too. Imagine the havoc on game play if every Aeldari unit could get movement bonuses and extra moves every turn. It would be cool, but grind play down and make the army extremely expensive points-wise.

Oh, I get it. By doing it this way we basically get racial strats that can be used regardless of detachment.

I would have preferred something more low key but stable, like re-rolling run moves, that effected everyone all the time. This is going to get you power bursts of speed tricks to key units when we need it. Which is fine. But feels very game-y.

It’s what we are getting, so not much for it. Not my choice on what I’d go with, but I’ll work with it. And it will give the army the fast moving flavor it should have.

Magnificent update for the army.

Well its not like mortars and trenches are linked thematically.

I like the new battle focus. I think it will add meaningful choices to be made each turn like TS cabal points. Reactive moves are very powerful and I think these will be good.
