Dark Eldar point sheets preview:

That's a good point, first they were telling us how great Incubi are and how Wyches will see a return to people's armies and then they leave them out of the standard example of a DE army.

They probably used those units because are those we use the most in current editions, so even non-de players can recognize them.

Yes I suppose so. Just a shame that they couldn't have shown Wyches rather than the 2nd Kabalite unit and maybe a Venom rather than 3 stock Raiders.

The raider might be our most point efficient vehicle now. Considering ded. transports is only allowed for every other unit, we might have to field ten msu units and share 5 raiders for them.

I think you are reading it wrong, you can take a transport for any other unit you take, so in a ratio of 1:1.

Ah, my bad. Still an effective way to save points, though. Four squads of wyches in two raiders is probably a lot cheaper than four squads of wyches in four venoms, and might free up points for extra gear or squads.

I read it the same way at first.

Also All vehilces got boosted point wise.

Rhino went from 35 to 70 (Per the leaked Chaos and Blood Angels book)

and Somone Said (Rumor) Drop Pods are over 100.

They are 103

And they can not go closer than 9" nor the unit when disembarking, Drop pods got a nerf (finally)

Thank you sir.

Has anyone seen the stats for a drop pod yet? Do they have a WS stat?

Question

Voidraven 169 base
+ 2 Voidlances,
still comes to 169...

Why are 2x voidlances free but the raiders are paying for their lances?

Or they cost 0 b/c it needed to be listed WHAT weapon was taken regardless of point cost and Shock Prows are 21pts

Perhaps dissies are free, and lances are upgrades, like our current codex.

Maybe the lahmean HQ could have been changed to become like the drachon in the first DE dex. A cheapo lightweight archon with lower stats but access to some neat gear.
Also I noticed that the trueborn unit has 4 shredders.
Either that guy Eddie needs to start opening a window when he is gluing his kits, or bringing shredders now might NOT make you the laughing stock of the raiding party.

I saw the shredders as well. Since I have a unit of them I can only hope they become valid.

I imagine they will. No more blast templates, so they will be d3-6 wounds most likely, with AP-2???

Im sure its S6, D3, Rend0, 12"

Am i the only one seeing 8 riffles, 1 blaster (not pistol), 1 splinter cannon, 1 agoniser (melee weapon) and Phantasm Grenade launcher for 10 models as weird?

Yes

Also I am seeing the Phantasm Grenade Launcher and the Agonizer but don't see a the upgrade for Sybarite?

I would rather the shredder got more shots than did more wounds. But in any case I hope they re-imagine it rather than port the rules over to the new system, because I'm not sure what function it is supposed to serve that we don't already have another, better gun for.
I see a lot of the small blast marker weapons have gotten D3 shots, except the frag missile that inexplicably got D6.

Could be that the standard load-out for the unit ( including the, probably mandatory, "sarge" ) has been changed to rifles+knife, and the agoniser does not replace the rifle. I suppose they have to be careful about who they are allowing to take pistols now. It does not make sense to only have a pistol on the sarge now that it does not give an extra CC attack. Not that it was a great choice before either...

You can take that build in 7th currently can't you? You can have a melee weapon as well as a rifle.

Huh... I believe you are right Dave. Who knew.

The list example looks like it would be less than optimal, though. Agonisers on kabalites and shock prow on the raiders sounds like a waste of points in a primarily shooty list.

Except that ramming into units prevent them from shooting unless they fly. Also, the Raider can always fall back and shoot (as well as the kabalites inside). Also, shock prows may be powerful against vehicles now, and then the list is well rounded.

All blasts now are D3/D6 wounds, i dont think they will charge one 1 weapon to be different.

Flamers are auto hit D6 wounds, LG's might be worth taking, Wracks mgiht be too, 10 wracks 2 flamers with Haemi makes them T5. we will have to wait and see.
