GW's advent calendar - woe is us?

It's finally DE's turn today - we get a previously-published painting guide for Mandrakes, for $4.99.

May a horde of locusts descend upon their oasis.

The silver lining here, for me, is that I was introduced to this phrase, which I will be stealing.

Hving tried locusts all I can say is I hope they dont like them.

Dark eldar are again showing up on day 21 in the advent calendar.
Only as the "bad guys" with focus on raven guard, but better than a mandrake painting guide

THE STORY
A squad of Raven Guard Scouts on their first mission encounter the horror of the twisted flesh-shapers of the eldar, the sinister haemonculus covens. As they fight for their lives against the deadly aliens, Brother Jevel begins to realise that his destiny is more complicated than he ever imagined, and the Scouts discover that the true enemy of a Space Marine is loss.

Around 20 min playtime for 6€.

and a tie-in scenario:

Quote :

Amid the Storm
The forests of Homendora ring to the sound of furious gunfire. Between the trunks of the towering trees, amid the dark of night and the hammering downpour, a squad of Raven Guard Scouts must prove their mettle against wave after wave of Dark Eldar. Can they hold out, or will they become macabre trophies for the piratical xenos?

Did anyone buy it? Is it really only one mission for 3€?

Bad guys is better than not being noticed at all.

Anyone pick up the Cryostorm missions thingy? Looks interesting but I'm hoping to hear a customer review before pitching money at it.

Ok so I went and picked up Cryostorm. Looks like a lot of fun, my buddy and I are excited to try it!
Complete new set of objectives, a chance to roll on a table of awesome stuff instead of scoring an objective, and a special mission with a giant snowstorm.
