Dark Eldar Rumor Roundup

[StraightSilver]

I had heard the Void Raven is roughly the same size as the Valk / Vendetta which is still pretty big for a flyer but $81 is a bit more than that kit which is $66.

I would speculate that it could be a dual build but it might just be that it is big, bearing in mind that although the Valk has a big footprint most of that is hollow due to the tail booms.

The Valk was also the first flier model released, and thus cheaper for it's size. If It came out these days, I'd expect it to be priced like the Storm Wolf.

From what I remember of the concept art, if the Razorwing is 7.5" long and 8" wide, the Void Raven is at least 2 inches wider, about 2 inches longer, and it also has the forward cockpit which is a bi transparent section, which probably adds to the price.

It's also probably 3 sprues, since while the Imperial fliers are large and boxy, they are made up of multiple smaller panels, while the DE Razorwing is a large single hull piece that takes up most of a sprue by itself, and the Void Raven is large enough that it has to be broken up to fit. It's also not hard to imagine that the Void Raven will not come with an obscene number of missiles like the razorwing, as it has those three and a fourth type, and can carry 4 missiles plus the void mine.

I'm doubting that it is a dual kit, as it was designed back before those became really popular. I'm just expecting it to take 3 sprues, plus large crystal plastic elements, which means GW will price it the same as the bulkier Storm Wolf which also uses 3 sprues.

I will just be happy to get a Voidraven kit and 'hopefully' vector dancer on the fliers.

This. Eldar flyers have them so Dark Eldar should also.

The fluff for the Crimson hunters suggets they are even more nimble than the Dark Eldar fliers though.

[eldargal]

Not really, it says they are designed to 'hunt down and destroy all types of aircraft - including those of the Dark Kin'. Nothing about being superior, just that they are designed to hunt them. Given the Hemlock Wraithwossname has Vector Dancer too and it isn't an interceptor there is no excuse for the DE flyers not to get it.

Repackaged Incubi without a resculpt. Erm.....why? Already 5 to a box, how exactly do they repackage that?

Maybe like the Dire Avengers... drop the price by 20% and half the content.
