Dark Eldar Coming Soon!

Hi Guys,

I didn't know if it was general knowledge and just passed me by, but I looked in Octobers White Dwarf today and the back cover is all about Dark Eldar. So next month looks like the big launch! (It says so on their website too)

I'll never play them as a 40k army, but I'd give it a go as a death squad. GW seem to have snuck in quietly on this one - I was expecting the inquisition forces next! (I should be disappointed - I really want to see new Grey Knights, Inquisitors - mostly for the models and to see what weird codex creep will have happened this time).

Anyway DARK ELDAR, not goody two shoes gay ELDAR, but them spiky mean, slicy gay ones instead! YEAH

Laney (Sorry about that last bit!)

Heheheh... Yes, more work for us trying to adapt them to !

But fun - don't you think?

This is an update from Bell of Lost Souls. They are showing some previews of Dark Eldar at Games Day UK. Some of the models look pretty darn good.

The new Dark Eldar models look very cool - reminds me of the new skaven models in terms of the dynamic poses.

The ones for warhammer are even cooler though - look forward to seeing those come out. If only forgeworld wasn't so expensive!

Great stuff, just read a short GW Novel on Dark Eldar and it fits nicely with DS.

I agree
They look awesome!

Hey and the best part is that its only been 16 YEARS! since the last codex

These is going to be great but costly.

Does anyone know if they will be metal or plastic? Would be a SHAME if they were metal... look good, but no kit bashing.

I think the wyches and warriors are plastic but I'm not so sure about the kabalite warriors.
You can see the greens and stuff towards the bottom of the "what's new today" pages:

There are bigger pics here.

I reckon they'll follow the model of recent releases with flexible multipart plastics for the most part, with the named characters/heroes in metal. The reaver and raider will definitely be plastics (too heavy/costly otherwise). That reaver jetbike is proably my favourite - I think quite a few eldar players will be jealously converting these to replace their 'chopper style' bikes.

They just put the Dark Eldar stuff up on the GW website under advance order, and they are coming out November 6th
