Boom, new wracks and haemie.

Thank you.

See, that there is a picture. That there is proof, and I am happy to believe again.
Despite being worried that their front page is a Haemonculus, which worries me that Covens will be the main focus (do NOT want).

Covens are my favorite although yeah, they should focus on Kabals in my opinion.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if we don't get a new codex after all and supplement codex: Symphony of Pain is all that's coming

I wouldn't mind that at all. I absolutely love the new Haemonculi. I hope he's plastic, if so he'll be a dream to play with thanks to how great the Dark Eldar entire line of kits is to work with. The new Wracks in plastic - really happy to see them. I heard there are options to make them pilots / gunners for your vehicles - what a great idea. I can't wait to see how the new book is as I think I will be repainting my Dark Eldar somewhat.

Two simultaneous threads on the new codex was a bit confusing, so I have closed one in favour of this newer, shorter thread.

Please keep the discussion of the codex and models here, and remember that there is also a wishlisting thread in the DE Discussion section:

Thanks.

So can anyone read the blurry wording, of like to know if it tells what a ossefacter does

Ossefactor Hmmm....probably causes explosive bone growth or making flesh into a rigid bone like substance. You know the Wracks have bony growths to use as racks to hang stuff on while they torture victims on another kind of rack. I would imagine there is a device that Haemies use to stimulate the bone growth in a controlled but rapid fashion. They most likely weaponize it by turning up the power just a wee bit.

probabbly just some poisoned shooty nothing special Sad

@ciirian haha you're right! I would also be down with that, I realised as soon as I'd posted Laughing

I am developing ther horrible feeling that we're going all Coven-themed, and I'm going to hate it.

Look at these:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the crew of the vehicles in these pictures are all Wracks, and they look somewhat like they're supposed to be.

It's rumored to be a 2 week release and the void raven is almost definitely next week.

The new wrack box has the parts to crew raiders or venoms with wrecks, so now you can have either warriors, wytches, or wracks.

I wouldn't be hoping for any brand new units though.

To be fair, the coven IS the area with the most untapped potential in the codex, as well as being exclusively finecast apart from the Talos/Cronos. I'd be shocked if the model wave WASN'T heavily coven centric, to be completely honest. I like that we're not seeing a 'big thing' as that doesn't really fit with the Dark Eldar ethos and style, though the Void Raven may well fill that feature. We've got a really, really nice plastic range as it is, there's no need to switch up any of the existing models. I'm probably not going to pick up the new wracks (as my coven models are all extensive conversions) but I will certainly get the codex and see what else appears that piques my interest.

They aren't going to turn the whole dark eldar to coven. Just advertising the new swag that they've been focussing on. I'm still more interested in the book than the models

I love the new wracks models, especially the bits for raiders and venoms. Now there is no big problem when building coven specific vehicles - awesome GW!

And power mauls for wracks! That is one of my favourite cc weapons for the current wracks, even without rules. Seems my monthly vow was all calculated ;-)

Yeah, I wouldn't be afraid of the Coven Centric Hype! If they have a supplement for the Symphony of Pain, I would love to allie in my coven units, driven by coven pilots. Like others said the Coven is untapped and relatively un-purchased by most New Dark Eldar players. The Finecast costs of grots, wracks, and their HQs scares most people away.

Some slightly clearer pics available now on Grot Orderly:

I'll be fine as long as Archons can take Wings, Skyboards, and Jetbikes.

And if Succubi can take Skyboards or Jetbikes.

Please be a thing. Do you know how awesome customizing our Archons would be?

Guys... do you realize that the 20 EUR Haemi is the most expensive marine-sized single HQ product? Are they insane?

Kabalite Warrior Posts : 188 Join date : 2011-11-21

yeah...$26 dollars American. Really hurting my wallet. Looks like I may buy one.

Incubi Posts : 1626 Join date : 2013-04-23

Eh. No way am I giving 20 EUR for haemi if his rules stay roughly the same. I will use my metal Urien model or convert others. Same goes for Wracks. If they remain a troop option, they should have a troop price 23 EUR for 10... not 5... Elloooo flagellants, greenstuff and some work...

Obviously just a rumour at present, but what are your thoughts for powermauls on wracks? Use them for smashing light vehicles?

mauls are fine with +2S and ap4 but yeah w8 till you see the bill if you pay 10+ points for them on a T4 6+ modell for 10 points probbably keep incubi for ap2 Razz

Yeah. Still if PfP stays the same (admittedly dubious) s6 wracks on the charge will be nothing to be sniffed at... chuck in a spiritseer with enervate and you're up to s7

Obviously that is all hugely contingent... still a fun idea though
