New Eldar from Forgeworld

[Old_Paladin]

The Hornet light tank, and its rules, are now up on Forgeworld.

I like this little guy. Good rules, fills a nice intermediate space between the light Vyper and heavier falcon. The model is very, very nice.
Although, I'd worry about all the very thin pieces either snapping off or warping badly.

Just ordered 3.

Anyone notice the cost of the brightlance?

[Melissia]

I'm more interested in the Ork glyphs mentioned in the same letter.

[DarkLink]

Are the weapons cost for two weapons or do you have to buy each weapon twice? Because that gets way too expensive. This thing's too fragile to be carrying 60pts of bright lances. Though dual-pulse lasers would be pretty awesome (except for the BS 3).

[Defenestratus]

Yeah the rules are a bit wonky. Another problem being that you can't move 12" and still fire all guns.

[DarkLink]

About the only benefit that I see is that you can make a much better Vyper out of this. Keep your purchases down to just Splinter Cannon/Scatter Lasers, and you have a Vyper that's not open topped, is front and side AV 11 and gets free star engines, all almost as cheap as an actual Vyper.

But other than that, this thing's overpriced.

[Old_Paladin]

I get the impression that you don't actually have to get the same weapon for each hardpoint.

[Defenestratus]

You don't.

But like most everything else that is Eldar, the model is awesome, the rules are ..."ehhh"... and the points are "wtf??"

[Demonus]

Yeah the rules are a bit wonky. Another problem being that you can't move 12" and still fire all guns.

could you with something else?

could you with something else?

The new Dark Eldar Ravager (and planes); but otherwise, no.
