Succubus unavailable to order

Does this mean we are getting a new model? This is in the UK site, and it definitely says "no longer available". Rather than the razorwing's "temporarily out of stock".

Wishlisting, I'm hoping for them to release succubus with models on jetbikes and skyboard, as she is leader of the wych cult.

They renamed faction, probably they repack all the boxes

Would they take it out of production? Wouldn't the razorwing be re boxed too? I don't think it's as simple as that.

There are couple of other boxes that arent available. Scourges for example.

Why the hell would they rebox things? They didn't rebox any of the AoS stuff.

To type Drukhari on box. Instead of Dark Eldar.

In about a year they will all but forget about word "Dark Eldar" on their products.

I don't see any Dark AELF Witch AELFS.

...
It's GW...

Nothing they do makes sense, except their marketing scheme.

I ordered a succubus today no worries?

The Succubus sculpt is brand new by GW standards. Must be another reason.

Email response by GW, "
I am afraid for the moment the Dark Eldar Succubus are sold out, which it means, it isn't currently part of our range.
Unfortunately I do not have any specific information about that but I will be logging your interest with the relevant department. Whilst I cannot guarantee a reply from them, or any changes, I assure you that your query will be looked into.

All I can recommend doing at this time is keeping an eye on the web store and White Dwarf as all re-releases and new products are advertised on there first.".

So something is happening?

If they release a new model with access to skyboard and bike, we could run a fast attack list with no vehicles! Footkari?

That's very strange! It's less than 3 years old, which for a plastic model is virtually newborn.

I don't wanna sound optimistic ... But the last part of that email kinda sounds promising with the "keep an eye on the webstore and white dwarf as all rereleased and new products are advertised there first" ... Perhaps we are finally getting new models and more options as we are the only army in a long time to not really get anything aside from a model for something we had in writing but wasnt in essence "new" like something we didn't have previously in our codex. And as for a succubus getting a skyboard or jetbike PERFECT then they would be able to keep up with venoms, reavers and hellions without having to buy their own venom or spend a couple turns running their ass off to keep up with troops... We might be seeing a Druhkari full release within the next month or two that will be on par with what the chaos God's (minus she who thirsts) and the spice mahreens have seen something like an unnamed incubi hq and a Mandrake hq would be nice

Keep down your enthusiasm and play your pokerface like he rest of us, young Archon. It only summons the dark shadows from lower Commorragh. I'm talking about the other fallen Archons who used to come to this place with enthusiasm and optimism until the neglection and corrption from beyond the warp (aka GW) made those nay-sayers what they are today.

You don't want to end like them, do you?

In all seriousness, don't get your hopes too high. I think 8th edition brought a lot of good things for us, but it can go back to the way GW treated us in the past very fast.

Personally, I would be more than satisfied if they bring back some stuff from 5th edition (we had a Mandrake character btw.).

Name change, perhaps??? I doubt that they can TM 'succubus'.

Kherudrakh the Decapitator (or, if you acknowledge that his name actually means "decapitator"): Decapitator the Decapitator was, indeed, a Mandrake character. He was also ~90% useless on tabletop and nearly as poorly written as Kruellagh the Vile was...

Yeah, that used to be a character too, recall?

Regardless, I still want Vect, Malys and Sliscus to return from their vacation and strike terror into the hearts of all before them!

Repackaging makes the most sense. And as to Teenage Angst comment, they are slowly changing the AoS boxes. You don't see Lizardmen anymore, or Vampire Counts. I see Seraphon and the various undead armies. Rumor is Dark Aelves are later this year.

I think it's likely that we'll be up to our eyeballs in Primaris Marines with the occasional Death Guard for the next few months.

Since the Dark Eldar were introduced, we've gotten new releases every other edition (3rd, 5th, 7th). If that pattern holds, we're not due for anything until 9th ed.

Back in stock.
