| New WH+ Animation 'Iron Within' dropped today. The plot involves a planet being raided by DE sending out a distress signal to space marines, and getting Iron Warriors. The first 60 secs are on WC and features some reavers.

| It's nice to see us in an animation like this ... I really hope it makes us look as threatening as the lore says we are and not just another space marine punching bag | |

I dont have Warhammer +, but apparently the DE do moderately well against the Imperial PDF but become a total punching bag to Iron Warriors. I get this feeling that DE will become the go-to npc faction they throw in to die like jobbers and show off how cool space marines are. The film features an archon, a mandrake and a talos pain engine in action though which still sounds cool if only for the novelty of seeing these units actually portrayed. _________________ Supreme Stygian Overlord Vorl-Xoelanth of the Kabal of the Dying Sun

The Flesh, the Mind, the Soul - all can be made to feel torments eternal. And when all three scream in agony within a single being, the path to immortality lies open before us. So it has been since the beginning, and so it will continue until we extinguish the stars and the galaxy lies dark and fallow.' - Mantra of the Kabal of the Dying Sun | |

| Is it just me, or have GW now confirmed that Splinter Rifles sound like Star Wars blasters when they fire?  _________________ | Kabal of the Eternal Night | Modelling Blog | | The Squidmaster Distractathon | Notes on being an RPG Gamesmaster |

| Just watched the trailer. Aren't Dark Eldar meant to be, you know, fast?
The Jetbikes seem to meander around at a speed that would shame an unpowered bicycle. How is it that Star Wars managed this 50 years ago with live action, but a modern animation can't give any sense of blistering speed?
Meanwhile, despite this being animation, the Kabalites stumble awkwardly around like B-movie extras in badly-made costumes.
The animation is very bland, though, so at least it gets that part of our codex right. _________________ - TeenageAngst wrote:
