Wraithguard/Wraithblades: I've never been the biggest fan of the wraithguard, I felt the models looked too slow and cumbersome even for what are supposed to be slow and cumbersome troops by eldar standards. They needed an update. What they got was a superbly executed plastic revamp. The new weapon options is lovely even if not radically different looking and the Wraithblades are amazing. Very intimidating.

Hemlock Wraithfighter/Nightshade Bomber: I love the fighter, it looks so sleek and hunter-like. Also vaguely duck like I admit, I like ducks. The bomber is very sturdy and scary looking. Very elegant flyers, perhaps not as outstanding as the FW Phoenix but better than the Nightwing. I do think the Razorwing may still be in first place on my list.

Illic Wossname: Very impressive.

Spiritseer: Ah. Well. Very nice, nothing outstanding. Slightly disappointed really, it's not quite as outlandish as the old ghosthelm Farseer model but not as imposing as the new plastic Farseer.

Plastic Farseer: Very nice, but in my opinion a missed opportunity. A plastic copy of an existing Farseer basically, when we could have had something different. Like a female Farseer.

A fantastic release, eclipsing in my estimation even the Vampire Counts release and equalling the Dark Eldar release in quality if not quantity.

Pretty much the same here, although a lil' bit more or less satisfied feeling :



Wraithknight : starting to get used to the design, but if i'd buy one, i would let the chest open to see the pilot.

Wraithguard/Wraithblades : not bad... not bad at all. i do like the CC variant, and the new wraithcanon design.

Hemlock Wraithfighter/Nightshade Bomber : absolutly gorgeous. need each version.

Illic Wossname : my favorite release so far. always like the rangers, this miniature is an instabuy for me.

Spiritseer : huh ? sorry? what the hell is that? everything in this sculpture feel old and outdated... i will still replace them with one of my 2 bonesingers miniatures.

Plastic Farseer : for a HQ, they are still insipid. nothing to see here.




from my p.o.v, it's a good beginning, but the dark Eldar release seems to have received way more work on their HQ, Elite or every single others characters.
