Noticed this over on Warseer, thought I'd share.


Scroll to the bottom, larger and much clearer pics of the Wraithlord, Scorpion Exarch and those Nightgoblins.

I love the promotional model. It's so funny and goblin like. I don't play fantasy but want one for the humour

The head kinda reminds me of the Predator from Predator.

it seems static,no ball joints or anything.
Does that mean its unposable or is there just too much glue used?

The shoulders and hips both look like ball joints to me...

well that makes me a saaaad panda...

T.T''''

well no,since its plastic,hacking it up will be easy but i still expected a little more from GW for a race thats been around for so long

Way too static. All the other Scorpions are very dynamically posed. eh.

No idea whether there is any actual evidence behind it aside from his weapons, but there appears to be some speculation on other forums that this Scorpion exarch is in fact the new Karandra model.

Hope not... He's nice, but he's not Phoenix Lord nice.

Agree, too much posing, too little action.

For a special model he would be nice. For the Battlefield i aspect some more stealth-power.

The Wraithlord is so in my shopping cart. I get two and make them being themed in my army and...(wanders off)

Man that thing is fresh. The wraithlord finally done justice! Capt K

the Scorpion looks nice, but I'm stil not so sure about the Wraithlord's shoulder gun

I like the Scorpion, nice and understated. You don't always have to put seventy skulls and a utterly ridiculous flag on everything.

Wow, this Wraithlord looks proper. When there's an actual mount (it looks like it was missing in the threesome picture) for the gun it looks good. Now they just need to make veritech fast attack options for Tau and we're set... Eh, time for conversions at least. Someone make some Zentraedi warwalkers and wraithlords for my gerwalk crisis suits to fight.

Mmmm...wraithlord goodness! Finally, it occurs to some model maker that they should have a melee weapon of some sort. The Exarch is nice and all, but much like everyone else has stated...TOO STATIC! Now, if this is the new Karandras fig, *shakes head*, gah, oh the humanity, no movement=no life.

Actually in the upcoming 5th edition, you do.

The exarch is very, very nice.  I'll buy one.  And the Wraithlord?  Wow.  He really looks good.  Ball joints or not, it looks like a lot more scope for conversions and a model that's really a centerpiece for an army.

Warning.

From what i've heard if your not playing Iyanden (sp?) then wraithlords are 0-1.

Waaa...?
Gw will never ever do that!
Or they want everyone to start Iyanden...? Maybe that's why Wraithguard went up in prices and they get such a model out.
Is Iyanden pupular at the moment (or was popular)? Could be a hint.

no craftworld specific rules in the new book, just fluff, so you can still take 3 units of wraithguard as elites. and no points change on them either (although their stat change is sweet)

I'm torn on the new Wraithlord. I mean I think it's an awesome model, but I'm not sure if that's just because I'm so used to the dire Egg on Leggs that it's replacng taht I'd think any improvement was a da Vinci esque masterpiece.

Oooo hey. I scrolled down a little further, and the scorpion exarch has a different set of arms too. Here's the pic of the new Biting Blade.

He could cut lots of bread with that thing!
Keep 'em commin' GW, I still have some disposable income and I'm liking what I see!

Wooow..... Just when I was thinking of starting an Eldar Iyanden army...... New Wraithlord, walkers, avengers.... sniff it's like there's someone watching over me ya know... just beautiful...

From what i've heard if your not playing Iyanden (sp?) then wraithlords are 0-1.

Oh how I would love that. From your lips (fingertips?) to God's ears.

what exactly does it mean when you say the wraithlord is going to be 0-1?

Exactly what it says. You can have 0-1 Wraithlords.

oh, i thought it was representing some ratio or something, my mistake haha

Not bad

Which might make a cool conversion because of the infinite and immutable value of the hidden power fist in 4th Ed.
