Dark Eldar Rumor Roundup

[Anggul]

Loving how they've done the crystal pod on the Voidraven. The whole thing looks big and scary but sleek and deadly at the same time.

Looks like a new Archon model too?

The previous icarnation of the (random) Drug Table also had 6 results. Dont see how you conclude that Drugs will be "more prominent" just because the offer 6 Cards for them.
What you can conclude is:
1) Drugs are still random
2) There are no psykers in the codex with their own lore as the drugs replace the PSI cards which are normally included in the package (see Grey Knights: Tactical Cards + Sanctic Cards)

If they need cards, I'm betting their affects will be more prominent than simple stat boosts or USRs.

If they need cards, I'm betting their affects will be more prominent than simple stat boosts or USRs.

They probably dont "need" cards but its the only thing thats random and can be packed together with objectives instead of PSI (which also is not "more prominent" and has cards too)

They don't *need* cards for psychic powers either but at $8 a deck, dumbass people like myself buy them.

I really dislike the static pose...
So far the new minis did not convince me to buy some... I want Juan Diaz back

I'll admit that legs are a bit wonky but other than that, it's a plastic Archon!!!!

Or at least I am guessing it's a plastic clam pack Archon.

Either way that's awesome as the conversion possibilities will be endless.

Having said that the current Archon model is really nice, just wish it wasn't Finecast.

The Hemlock looks at the voidraven and says "I feel inadequate in every way".

Dude, the Hemlock looks at a pair of D-scythe toting Wraithguard and says that same thing.

Last June I had the opportunity to assist to Juan Diaz´s Masterclass here in Spain, in a hobby event at Zaragoza...

You should be surprised at how he managed to sculpt the Dark Eldar, specially the Grotesque xD

Hahaha omg, there was one thing I really disliked abouth the 5th ed revamp, and it was that they felt the need to have a bareheaded archon on the cover, and that not-to-my-tastes head he had. Ican't believe they actually made a model out of it!! xD

That being said I like that the Nosferatu/Vampire pose he's doing in the first picture is avaiible, but I wouldn't prefer it on my archon, personally. However I really, really, really, really, really, like the secon picture (the kitbashed one) It looooooks aawesome. adn eally shows of the possibilites for kitbashing, personalising and what you can really do with the kit. I like it, that pose is awesome once you realise it as a template for "sculpting your own Archon"... The possiblities. I will most definatley pick this kit up (Hope it comes also with a plastic version of my favorite Archon head (the goatlooking one). Seeing as it's on the cover, and the resemblance of the cloak on the model to the cloak on the cover, maybe there is hope for it. Well. We'll see, eventually )
