Eldar 2013

Von Warseer:

"Warlock rumored to be a fine cast model with 2 head optiosn, 2 right arm/hand options and 2 left arm/hand options.

Guardian box will eliminate hw platform, but guardians themselves to
stay same, add new hw sprue and storm guardian sprue. Rumor is the
"storm" guardians will not be a separate entry in next codex, but just a
guardian upgrade. But don't take much from it yet, my rule rumor hit
ratio is absolute rubbish.

Two of the new models are to be at the new "high end" price point. I suspect the bomber and heavy tank would be these two.

The "bastion/drop pod" I had a second confirmation on, description is a
little more plausible this go. Is deployed pre game like a infiltrator.
It is a deployment point for reserves. But 1 unit selected before the
game can arrive turn one. Holds 1 hw on turret. Armor 11 all around.
Grants +1 to cover saves of guardians when "garrisoned". Again, please
assume this is completely filled with salt, I'm passing along what I was
told, and it's a second source. But it's rules, and I haven't seen any
design work to support.

Spears most definitely getting new models to go w new jet bikes.

Some concept sketches of vyper have it similar to hornet with weapons platform along side turret. Flatter and sleeker."

Ein anderer User "Daemon" bestätigt oder verneint das ein oder andere, fügt an: Neue Waffenoption für Phantomdroiden.

Neue Gerüchte von Ghost21 (Warseer):

"plastic vampyre,
solitare,
dragon riders,
possibly exodite character
and 2 additional aspect warrior types"

Keine Shadowspectres.

Ghost 21 Warseer:

"Guardians will have other options that's all I will add to that

You won't need to take a support platform to make them useful"

"

Just found the following in the 3++ is the new black forum, posted by Kirby:

Been informed there are some Eldar boxes floating around warehouses.
How long they get sat on before a codex is released though, who knows.
I'm going to guess around a year off. We know CSM are next and then
Dark Angels with the Hobbit crashing into scenes December, that could
push DA back to early 2013. So mid 2013 is the likely bet for Eldar is
something doesn't shove them out of the way.

Here's what I've been told re: boxes. No rules.

plastic Warpspiders/Everguard

plastic Skycharriots/Shining Spears

plastic Phantomwaechter - these might be the shadow spectres?

plastic Jetbikes

plastic Wraithguard/Cataphracts

plastic flyer combi-kit - The flyer is pretty large and has a crossbow
shape, two canopies, one fin. The main variant on the cover has some
lances and a large dorsal distort cannon. The other variant has extra
downward/sideway thrusters, but I don’t remember if it has a different
weapon loadout.

plastic phoenix lord niadhau - For Shining Spears, appears to be on a Vyper jetbike.

plastic webway gate

resin box Avatar

resin Black Warden - The Black Warden looks like an female Autarch. She
has a shurikencatapult and a feathered guardian helm with an eye on
it.

resin Dire Avenger Xentarch - Appears to be a new English name for Exarch?

resin Howling Banshee Xentarch

resin Fire Dragon Xentarch

resin Striking Scorpion Xentarch

resin box Dragon Riders

resin box Eldritch Raiders - They look like guardians but have no helms
and wear scarfs around the lower head and swashbuckle belts. They are
very individually equipped, have all sorts blades, pistols and/or
rifles. (potentially Storm Guardians?)

resin box Halcones Cazadores

resin Warlock

Have at it!

Phantomwächter is German and means Wraithguardian (note, that Wraith
guards are called Phantomdroiden in German, aka Wraith droids)

Halcones Cazadores is Spanish for Swooping Hawks

Take it with a mountain of salt as Kirby hasn't posted it on his main page."

Von Bols:

"Okay guys, got some extra details on the earlier Eldar rumors,
specifically artwork and what everything looks like. Still no rules.
Looks like the Xentarchs are indeed Exarchs, whether they are special
Exarch's or just new remodelling is to be seen. We've also got names
nailed down a bit more from translations.

With the recent release of the end of this year's schedule looking like
Chaos and Dark Angels getting done, we might see Eldar landing early Q1
2013. This would be very much appreciated. Depending who writes it!

Anyway, details below!

Eldar Warpspiders/Everguard

5 per box

Spiders: whole squad looks like the old exarch, no huge weapon, helmets
smaller, but same shape, wrist blades, two small spinner weapons on rod
mount from the back. Spider web like straps on the chest that hold the

and slightly cowering poses, exarch has extra pair of weapons on the
cover, don’t remember the back pictures

warpspiders but no mandible arcs and gas masks, different more

Eldar Lamia Strike Fighter / Moon Siren Bomber & Eldar Black Warden

already described"

Von BOLS:

"The Dark Reaper Exarch regains a classic weapon option from the days of yore. HINT, HINT - it involves skulls and chain.

Aspect Warriors are moving to plastic using the "combo-unit" dual-build
format GW has moved to of late. We'll leave it up to you to guess which
aspects could be paired off into combo-kit boxes with differing
heads/weapon options.

The new Eldar flyer is quite curved in nature, with sweeping lines all about. A real head turner.

The new Eldar "big kit" is a wraith construct that shares numerous
design cues with the current War Walker - but much larger. A virtual
beast...

Eldar keep their distance from Tau from an overall design theme. They
will be the masters of maneuver and outright speed. Look for multiple
options and units types for jetbikes including up-armored and even
faster versions. Jetbikes as a family may well become the staple
hallmark of the army. They will come in multiple flavors with both
anti-personnel and anti-armor types.

FOC wise, look for a whole lot of jumping about of units between the
HEAVY SUPPORT, FAST ATTACK, and ELITES slots. There will be difficult
player decisions to be made in there.

Zusätzlich redet "Hastings" auf Warseer von einer Avatareinheit.

ich bin gespannt. insgesamt ne ganz nette geschichte und plastik modelle ziehe ich den failcast minis deutlich vor (auch wenn ich nach wie vor die zinn minis am coolsten finde xD)

geschwindigkeit nunja finde ich passend bin auch die umsetzung gespannt. das grosse phantomkonstrukt war fast klar, und auf die flieger bin ich sowieso gespannt.

was mit bis dato noch nicht gefällt ist, dass man rein gar nicht über psi erfährt... immerhin ist das sogar vor geschwindigkeit ein punkt der eldar.

Vielleicht wird der Tod, bzw. das Verschwinden Eldrads nun im Hintergrund als
Teil des (erneuten?) Niedergangs der Eldar zelebriert was sich wiederum in der
Schwächung der pionischen Fähigkeiten aller Eldar mnifestiert?

Für mich hören sich die Gerüchte so an dass sich die Eldar nun mehr an den Waldelfen
orientieren. Liest man den aktuellen Necron Codex erkennt man so langsam ein Muster.

Eldrad ist nur einer von vielen Runenpropheten, das psionische Potential ist davon sicher nicht berührt..

so ist es.
naja abwarten wohin der fluff geht. immerhin hat er sich mit dem letzten dex nicht gerade verbessert xD

aber wenn so auf geschwindigkeit gesetzt werden soll, mit 2 typen an jetbkies, kann ich mir nicht vorstellen dass der jetbike rat rausfällt. bin gespannt obs dann mal minis dafür gibt...

Von Warseer:

"I have some news for you (and 40k players).

There will be something in the codex called a wraithknight (almost as big as a phantom titan) and a psyker flyer.

Striking Scopion will be a must have!"

Psyker Flyer - Muhahaa!

Skorpione gut trifft sich da hab ich reichlich von rumliegen!

Psyker Flyer klingt krank aber witzig, solange die richtigen Sprüche dazukommen ... Biomantie wäre ja als Auto z.B. kaum nutzbar ...

Das mit dem Phantom Titan kapier ich nicht, die werden etwas in Sturmflut/Dreadknight grösse drinhaben aber doch keinen Titanen? Das entwertet irgendwie die anderen Infos die gut klingen

Naja Knights sind eigentlich ziemlicher "Urfluff" im 40k Universe, ist ne kleinere Art Titan, also auch kleiner als ein Scouttitan etc. Wrathknight ist dann wohl die Eldarvariante. Dürfte ein ziemlicher Brocken sein, vielleicht ähnlich hoch wie ein Mono..

Lexicanum hat dieses Uraltbild von nem Eldar Knight

Er schrieb in der gösse eines Phantom Titans, und das ist der grosse von Forgeworld in Reaverformat ....

Knights kenn ich, das steht da in den Klammern aber nicht drin.

Ach, das is Blödsinn. Ich glaube ja eher an den Wraithseer.

Zitat von Archangle

Knights kenn ich, das steht da in den Klammern aber nicht drin.

Er schrieb "Wrathknight. Deshalb wirds wohl ein Knight sein (was vom Modell auch noch Sinn machen würde). Ein Phantomtitan wirds nicht.. ich tippe hier eher auf Unwissenheit des Zitierten, immerhin fühlt er sich sogar bemüßigt zu erklären was ein Knight ist..

Gibt es hierfür nicht einen Diskussionsthread?
Ich klicke immer hier rein, und denke, es gibt was neues...
