Woke up this morning and this had been posted on Dakka, plastic Farseer-
   
Looks like the rumours about Eldar being next are true, will up date here with more as it comes along.
Sure you want to get them Tau allies Rob?

Looking good, interested in this release...must....resist...

New eldar rumours, should be leaks next week.-

best_pone wrote:The main hull and wings are common across both builds. It's amazing how different tail and fin positioning can alter the look of the aircraft though

Common features:
- Downward angling of the primary wings (about 30º I'd estimate)
- Canards are very slightly angled down, but near horizontal
- Engines are mounted in pods in the wings
- One weapon mounted centreline under the hull, and one in a pod in each wing

Hemlock:
- Has a single vertical stabiliser mounted on the centreline of the aircraft

Nightshade:
- Twin "vertical" stabilisers (they're actually about 30º from horizontal), one mounted on each engine pod.


So the new Eldar flyer will be a dual kit, making either a flyer called the Hemlock or the Nightshade. He also mentioned they somewhat remind him of a flyer from an anime show called Battle Fairy Yukikaze.

In relation to the new Wraith construct, he said it is called the Wraithknight and that it is very tall, large enough to look down upon current flyer models.

If the rumours on the flyer are true, will be very, very tempted to get a small eldar allies contingent.

And on the MC kit-

Talking of flyers, they do put me in mind of the anime Battle Fairy Yukikaze. I won't try drawing either of them this time though, as that didn't turn out so well last time

Aarghhh!, why do they keep releasing stuff i want to buy!!!

[smallpoxeldar]

I said I would never join with Eldar, but if they got some sort of wraith-knight like tau that can shoot at flyers I might change my mind. Be interesting to what they could offer.

Its rumoured to have a 2 shot S8 AP2 Lance gun that can be overcharged to S10 Ap2, so could be good. Initial rumours suggested it would be the Bright stallion from epic (google it, think my little pony) but have since hinted large warwalker.

Another one I'll get the codex for and not buy anything..

Eldar are my main army and they are languishing on the shelf, so looking forward to this.
