stumbled over these the other day.. it's all looking good ;]

New Eldar Sculpts and such and such..

Love the new wraithlord, though im not so sure about the warwalkers and the fire dragons and banshees, the sculpts look a bit sloppy.

somehow i managed to miss this thread completely for 4 days.....

I still prefer the current banshees (sept the exarch, those blades looks really sexy) the wraithlord looks ace, I love it all, the autarch's look sweet, the new farseers, everything..

the rules are shaping up to give eldar player's more versatility and less cheese (toughness 6 wraithlord,heavy 2 starcannons)

Still not sure on the autarch, like the idea, fits with the fluff, but the model? too much going on for my liking.

That sounds interesting, the toughness of the wraithlord needed to go down, it was too obscene, looks like its losing the powerfists too, since the new one has a sword instead.

I always thought eldar had loads of versatility anyway (unless you go craftworld) but less cheese is good.

well apparently the wraithlord will still be str10 monstrous creature..

the autarch I agree, that one model with the wings and such looks like a bit too much.. I'm told there will be access to plenty of aspect weaponry (but NOT exarch weaponry :/ which is fair enough) meaning he can be equipped with fusion guns(they're str.8 now apprently) , reaper launchers, banshee swords, scorpian chainsaw, etc. etc. so there should be plenty of space for customisation, that winged model seemed a little too busy though I agree...

WTF? can you say broken? S10 +2d6 for Armour pen? still i suppose even guard and tau wound it in CC, now there is an insult!

It does look interesting, though some aspects of the model range let the whole down, hope we get new wraith guard.

I may be wrong in this but I believe I remember it being mentioned that there will be no new wraithguard...

On the whole I like the new Eldar models (even the Autarch) except for the new banshees (which lack the finesse of the current ones, although the exarch is good) and the new scorpions which look a little Rogue Traderish for my liking...

Also, guys, Harlequins.. Return.

:devil:

I thought that was just Mugan Ra?

Wait, Death Jester... That's right... *smacks forhead*

aye, also, shadowseers and solitaire's will be making their faces known again.

Dire Avengers now have 18" range and have some Sick, Sick abilities.

pretty much all of the aspects are balanced now, jetbikes are a troops coice and are much cheaper now, Shining spears are badass, etc. etc.

UPDATE: check the harlequin Troupe models on p3

Yeah, but it's still only 40K. 4th rendered that game unplayble unless you're retarded...

Got my copy today.

no solitares in the quins, but shadowseers and death jesters are in there.

Looks good, some of the combos in it are pretty nasty.

but we have lost seer councils, wraithlords have had their number of attacks cut and it now costs a bomb to fit them with heavy weapons.

all in all it looks quite reasonable.

Are the wretched things still T8 and therefore immune to boltguns and the vast majority of assault attacks?

yep.

now subject to wraith sight too.

then anagi i have to say with the assault rules for this ed, powerfists in squads mince them anyhow.


having re read it, shining spears are obscene, basically the eldar equivalent of rough riders with reuseable lances.

and guardians are now pointless.

also you can upgrade units of rangers to path finders. AP1 shots on a 5+ anyone?
