Dark Eldar

Post by kturock »

OK. I was looking over the new DE, just because they're different and seeing what's for sale online.
A couple of sellers her and on ebay, are listing minis no longer on GW's site. Scourges and grotesques.

So my question is; are they still in the codex or de army; or are they dropped, like so many other GW minis?

On a similiar note, de jetbikes, they only are sold in groups of 3, but one of the sellers has a box of 3 as well as a single blister. is that usable/fieldable as 2x2 or 1x4?
Heh, I was called a Grognard. ;-)

Look at the first post here. It contains a treasure trove of info and it's all nicely laid out and indexed. And, even better, it doesn't have the butt load of red text like the Dakka post that makes my eyes want to bleed.

I was looking through it for about an hour on Friday.

Scourges and Grotesques are in the new codex, but the models are not being released in the first wave, and might not be available for a while. There are no pictures of them in the codex, just drawings, leading me to believe that they are still being worked on, or they were when the codex went to print. I think the minimum size for jetbikes was three, but I didn't pay solid attention tbh.

Grotesques are going to look MUCH different. They're Orgyn sized creatures, so while I'm sure you can still use the old models, people might be asking you what they are, if they've never seen the old ones.

Mandrakes look much different.

One thing that was pictured in the codex that won't be released in the 1st wave are Hellions. They look REALLY nice... 100x better than the old models.
Always ship with delivery confirmation, I do the same.

Rating of less than 100 (or with no known traders)? You ship first (for trades and purchases), otherwise, we can ship simultaneously.

YOU must ship your package; not your wife, friend, lover, cousin, or dog. If you are not able to ship packages yourself, then please don't work out a deal with me.

Evil will always triumph over good, because good... is dumb.

Course, the artwork and fluff in the new codex entry makes them more into 'birdmen' as opposed to jump pack equipped troops.

I think that's just stylized outfits. Ghost-something-or-other armor.

I'm curious to see what they do with the models. Other than the mandrakes, I think all the new minis are fantastic.

They're up for preorder right now along with Urien Rakarth, Mandrakes, Ravagers, and a cool Webway Portal bit that it totally just a repainted vortex grenade, but who cares?

Also, the old Grotesques will likely NOT be useable as Grotesques. I believe you will be forced to use them as the new Wrack troops as the Wracks are supposed to be man sized while the new Grotesques are, as you said, Ogryn sized.
