Chucklemonkey Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Well, it seems like a lot of us here have deserted GW - at least partially - but as a Dark Eldar player of very many years, I felt it worth posting this in case anyone else was interested. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/blogPost.jsp?aId=12800005a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geckilian Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yep, I saw this earlier too. Looks like my evil skimmer force of lance doom will be getting an update after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklemonkey Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yep, I saw this earlier too. Looks like my evil skimmer force of lance doom will be getting an update after all. It may be too late to draw me back in. I still have my Wych cult of space marine death and I will definately be buying the codex upon release though. It would have to be pretty special to draw me away from Malifaux, and to a lesser extent Warmachine, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosLenny Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 awesome, thanks for posting this I swore off GW like a lot of folks (they are evil), but Dark Eldar we'll that's something special:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleater Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Pray we dont' take you alive! I haven't foresworn GW. I will be spending a couple of hundred quid on this easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbdrand Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Bah! I thought it was some real news (like new model shots, etc). Just more teases. I'm waiting on them to update the Necrons before throwing down any more money on 40k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breten Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I've seen 2 pics of the new sculpts, and they are all "OMG!!". Really. I'd love to link to them but I don't have it as I saw it on someone elses's comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werecat Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Dark Eldar? Duke Nukem Forever? Is the universe collapsing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousBeans Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I quit 40k a long time ago but I can't believe they're actually paying some attention to Dark Eldar. What's it been, about ten years? Meanwhile there's been two chaos codices! And two Guard if I'm not mistaken. That's pathetic. I hear Necrons are getting a giant Necron, that could be very cool indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddot Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Somewhat interesting. Although looking through the site i see they now have plastic Pink Horror boxes. Plastic kits that are comparitively economical (and practical) to the old metal kits... cool models to boot.Dark Eldar? Duke Nukem Forever? Is the universe collapsing?DNF will release Dec 22nd, 2012... and yes, the world will end on the 21st.

Rathnard Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I quit 40k a long time ago but I can't believe they're actually paying some attention to Dark Eldar. What's it been, about ten years? Come November, it will be 12 years exactly. Meanwhile there's been two chaos codices! Three, actually. The first was about as lame as the DE pamphlet (let's face it, it's not a real codex), the second was cheese incarnate, and the third is quite good but people don't like it because they miss their cheese (but that's another story ). And two Guard if I'm not mistaken. That's pathetic. I'm pretty sure it's three. There was the IG "Pamphlet", the Codex with Doctrines, and the current version. If you also include the Catachan Codex and the Cadian "eye of terror" lists, that brings it to five. I hear Necrons are getting a giant Necron, that could be very cool indeed! Necrons are rumoured to be after Dark Eldar. Together with the Dark Eldar and the Inquisition books, they're the only armies to have seen one Codex release over the last 12 years (Dark Eldar being the oldest and the only one still in the maligned 'pamphlet' format). It may be too late to draw me back in. I still have my Wych cult of space marine death and I will definately be buying the codex upon release though. I'm very much in the same boat. The utter lack of support from GW for the Dark Eldar more or less killed my interest in seeing a new codex. I've since moved onto other armies and other game systems. Like Chucklemonkey I'll almost certainly buy the codex, but whether it's enough for me to pull my Dark Eldar out of retirement remains to be seen.

karn987 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Ahhh Dark Eldar, how I love them. Now if only 40k would actually get some rules worth playing. So sick of their 5 year old level rules. If they actually built good rules for the game, I think I would go back to it, especially with the Dark Eldar coming back.

ispep Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 From what I've heard they've had Dark Eldar ready to go more than once, but the money maker armies (Space Marines, Chaos, Guard, Eldar, Bugs) always push them back to the point that by the time its their turn, GW is ready to push a new money maker.

Keeblerpowell Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I am totaly ok with Gw. The more healthy games companies the mor healthy games will be in general.

greenstuff_gav Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 do i remember Jes Goodwin (our lord and master) was designing the whole range? those two sculpts (haemonculus?) were demo not-for-production pieces to get him the project?

DangerousBeans Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I really wish they's release something more akin to 2nd edition (even as an expansion or something). I could see myself sucking it up to play that. The current game seems so random, it's hard to plan anything at all. And for the recond - BANSHEES SHOULD NOT MOVE THE SAME DISTANCE AS TERMINATORS! Hell, even their "fleet" rule means they may only move an extra 1" a turn - far too random a system to properly strategise with. And for the record I didn't play Eldar, I hate puny elves in every incarnation (except Goreshade, but he's undead so that's fine). The current charge rules for WFB exemplifies this "randomness", it makes no sense. Well, I'm away to go stare longingly at the Trygon.

Maddog176 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 The reason i stoped warhammer is the lack of rule updates, how unbalanced they are and poorly made (suppose it happens when run by accountants rather then gamers) and stupidly high price epically here in Australia (its $62 bucks for a tactical squad that = $58.50 US converted, or $37.60 GBP). Damn sounded like a GW hate post sorry, i still do love the background and story but yeah, they really need to adjust the prices considering our dollar isn't crapola anymore.

paradox Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 What other Codexes/Army Books have GW ignored for over a decade? Squats? Chaos Dwarfs? Genestealer Cults? I'm sure there's more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werecat Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Squats? Chaos Dwarfs? Genestealer Cults? I'm sure there's more. Not the same, in any way. None of those are official (somewhat) supported armies. Dark Eldar have always been on the list of main factions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradox Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Squats were official in 40k 2nd ed. Chaos Dwarfs were official as late as 6th (?) ed. WFB Genestealer cults were in 2nd ed 40K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
