Sslyth & Lhamaean

I can't wait for the Voidraven mini to be shown, all though I probally wouldn't pick one up when it was released straight away. I'll be buying a couple when I get a nice rounded 2500pts army finished if the model is nice enough in my eyes.

So, I received some info from a source which is very trustworthy and knowledgeable, and which I am not going to specify here, and based on that I am going to emphasise the original rumor of the "Void Raven likely to be on three sprues". So, coming later rather than sooner.

E-Figures just posted the preorders for September's GW releases, nothing about the remainder of the Court yet.

EDIT - As Local_Ork has pointed out in the other related N&R thread, the Sslyth and Lhamaean are now listed on BoLS for Sept. 10th. I guess pics will be in the new WD, so we should start to see them soon.

Thanks for the imfo. I suspect the court models and the Voidraven will come in November, kind of like a 1yr anniversary kind of thing.

SWEEET!

Indeed. The Lhamaean will make a great model for Malys, don't you think.
I really like the sslyth too, however I am still not very likely to buy any of this until I have found proof that the court is better is to put my Archon in than wyches.

Sigh.. I think that now I must buy them. If for no other reason than they are just plain gorgeous figures.

Lhamaen is a sexy model, I think the Sslyth actually looks pretty solid too - way superior to the Ur-ghul.

I'll probably buy the Lhamaen to use as something (not sure if it will be a Malys...and I want to groan at whoever described it to me as 'armored kimono') it's a nice sculpt, has good attitude, and will fit in nicely with my army.

Stunning models , why must they be in Fin£ca$t ( and have suck for rules, the lame-ean will be far better served as Malys.

I'll prob get some, eventually, bit like beasts , waiting untill I have a massive amount of surplus cash to blow on a unit I'll not use often....

Sadly I have pokemon Syndrome with DE/Jes-Goodwin

Gotta catch em all .....

My wallet is crying actual tears.

Very nice models indeed. I'll probably pick up a Lhamaen or two if not for a Malys stand-in, i'll end up converting one to a female Haemonculus (just because).

And I feel your pain Sorrowshard (how DE of me) , I think I have spent more on my DE figs than I did on my first car.

Beautiful models! Better than expected - to me at least.

Does anyone know if there are any options in the kit? Different heads, arms, etc?

Pretty good-looking models. Was hoping the Lhamaean would make a better archon, though.

Haven't heard or seen anything yet, but apparently the arms are interchangeable with the plastic kits...

Those look MUCH better than the first two court models. Like most others, I'm not sold on using the court when I play but Lhamaen will make for a nice Lady Maly substitute.

Really nice models.

After decrying Failcast for so long the Malys-conversion-starter-kit is probably going to make me eat my words and buy their overpriced crap again!

After seeing these minis (and the Medusa - even the ur-ghul is "ok", at the very least), I'm not going to be able to avoid using the court.

I'm with you, nepenthe... Just yesterday I said

but now the Ssssslyth has growed so much on me that I will probably mae a court anyway...

Damn nice! I'm glad that I waited with the conversion of my female Archon, the Lhamaean is dead sexy.

Hello my mini for Lady Malys, how you want to be convert?

DAMN! I really didn't want to field a court in games, but those models are beautiful. Is there a release date listed?

Both should come september 10'th and cost $15.25

And embedded picture so people don't have to search through links etc. Thread title changed to reflect new discussion.

What do I think? Was looking forward to the Sslyth and am happy with it, not exasperated as such but it is growing on me a lot. The poisoner, very nice but no wow factor for me.

I actually wanted something different, like when Fulgrim changed from cute Ganguro girl in pink armour into Daemon Prince of Awesomesauce, but model looks pretty good and quite similar (I could glue Scourges batwings and replace head).



I totally dig Lhamaean, but also hoped for something different. Like... Galadriela-the-crazy-elf-priestess.




But hell, I'll stamp it with approved once more.
