Things just got official people

[me_in_japan]

indeed.

incidentally, I guess its obvious what happened to this guy (pic from about 3 years ago, btw, for those who dont follow all things Eldar...)

*sigh* dang dark eldar. they even steal concept models...

[Admiral-Badruck]

Making an Eldar Jet bike out of that would not be too hard just follow Spevna's advice.

[me_in_japan]

possibly old news for folks, but here are some more pics of dark eldar, including sprues for those who are interested in such things...

ps @badruck: yes, it would be very easy to make an eldar jetbike out of that last pic I posted, since it is, in fact, an eldar jetbike. The only crimp on that plan is that the model was never released, and instead the eldar were left with ye olde sitting upright like a gimp pose jetbikes, while 3 years after the design is first shown publicly, the dark eldar get the new snazzbikes (with added spikes and a quick de-shurikening). Still - I'm quite liklely to get a squad of half a dozen or so snazzbikes and fiddle with em until they look like clean livin' pointy ears. And probly again, when a new eldar codex comes out. One day, my dreams of an all-jetbike army will come to pass...

Some snippets from the website re: rules and abilities.

The first of the new plastic sets is the Kabalite Warriors; you get 10 in the box, and it includes absolutely every weapon and wargear option that you need. You can also use it to build the Kabalite Trueborn Elite choice who have 2 Attacks and a higher Leadership, so one box set isn't going to be enough. To transport your Kabalite Warriors and Wyches into battle, you are going to need a Raider or four. The plastic kit is fantastic, easy to assemble and will get your Warriors into battle quickly; the enhanced aethersail upgrade also allows your Raider to move an additional 2D6".

The Wyches kit is just one of six new plastic box sets that we will be producing for the new range and the great news is that many of them are interchangeable, giving you even more modelling options. With 14 different heads and every wargear option you can field, this set really has everything you need to build your own personal squad and have plenty of bits left over. Lelith Hesperax is the ideal accompaniment to your Wych squads and she really is a walking weapon. With Weapon Skill 9 and 4 Attacks that ignore armour saves, plus an extra one for each point her Weapon Skill is higher than her foe's, Lelith can murder entire squads. The Reavers box contains 3 unique Reavers and again the set has plenty of options including splinter rifles, heat lance and blaster. And if you are looking for speed then the Turbo Boost special rule allows you to move 36", which means you are immediately in the thick of the action.

Lelith sounds insanely good.

Finally (for now anyway) we have the Archon and the Incubi. The metal Archon model has two variant heads and access to the Huskblade, which causes Instant Death on any model that suffers an unsaved wound, regardless of their Toughness. I'll take two please. The metal Incubi box set contains 5 models, but squads can be up to ten strong. They can be transported in a Raider and are armed with klaives, which are Strength 4 power weapons

Goodness gracious me!

I'll take 2 of everything thanks. These models just keep getting betterer and betterer. They have really done justice to the range and anyone who has had to wait 12 years to get their army re-done.

BTW My codex has already been pre-ordered and come Guy Fawke's, should be in my hot little hands. Band wagon officially jumped on folks.

[Primarch]

I'm also planning to pre-order the dex, I just need to check how much I have left in my UK bank account. (Imperial Armour 9 was a big chunk of my remaining cash). I was umming and ahhing about what to buy from wave 1 since there weren't really a lot of options, but having seen wave 2 I am a happy band-wagoner again. That said, I am going to get the dex first, read it, decide on what models I like and order them around x-mas time since Maelstrom will no doubt be having a sale as they usually do.

Its just a shame that the Mandrakes and Incubi are metals. Oh well, I'll still be getting me some. And Lelith. WS9 gives her 11 power weapon attacks against firewarriors. Oh my!

[Mike the Pike]

But only 9 against Marines

Shiny! The Hellion doesn't particularly excite me, but hot dang is that Mandrake awesome.

Quoted for truth!!

I think the Mandrakes are really characterful sculpts. The Hellions are very "meh". Considering it's supposed to be a nutter on a hover board, it looks pretty undynamic.
