and your not alone in your concern, far from it... many forumites have expressed disatisfaction with the models both for the LSM/CSM and our beloved Eldar (myself among them lol how I dislike the gummy-drop encrusted bedazzler-attacked Liberace approach is one I've shared a few times) though of course my main concern is the Dark Eldar and not having their eventual addition flavoured by the representation of Eldar at launch
Many of us have concerns, and I believe that expressing them reasonably should not be a problem. I'm sorry you have had trouble with this; hushing up the messenger doesn't make an issue go away. But, I can hope that in the time between now and release, we will get the Eldar we're looking for.
Just saw this totally badass picture. When Dark Eldar get added it's gonna be so awesome with all their different units, wargear and well just look at him on the codex cover! Bask in his grim magnificence! Though if I see any bikini warrior elves I will use harsh language and throw shoes in a disapproving manner! Incubi vs Orks found @wikia & I've yet to finish reading up on Dark Eldar so I have no idea what these are. Oh wait yeah I do, they're the "nope nope nope. running away now." brigade lol. EDIT: Posted without reading other things first. Good job me . Something wrong with Eldar? They haven't even been shown off to a serious degree yet. What could be seen wrong with them so prematurely? Er, I guess I could just go browse the Eldar Subforums to find out.
That first pic with the incubi is interesting in a few ways. It both shows splinter weapons firing blue projectiles (which is new), and if you look really closely, there is a statue carrying a flaming cauldron on the raider, which looks very suspiciously like the statue here: (Not the big one... the one between the two witch elves on the stairs) The Cauldron of Blood from WHFB. The picture itself is about the Raid on Bolgrog's World, featuring the kabal of the Flayed Skull. Those incubi are mentioned to be from the Shrine of Splintered Bone. That other pic is from the coven-supplement. There were a few others too, and it is pretty awesome to see some wracks in action ^^
That happens if you post links. That rule was established to stop Baba Ji style crap. So stop taking everything personal
Thanks! I feel relieved =D Thanks for the pictures, they are great! As for the 'what's wrong' question, it's not a new topic, just check out some old threads: http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/eldar-models-issues.23559/ http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/wraithguard-model.23194/ http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/eldar-in-the-new-trailer.29526/ https://forum.eternalcrusade.com/th...er-art-always-bothered-me-for-a-reason.23082/ The last one isn't very serious, but yes, Ranger and Autarch art are definitely not OK, though I do respect may other artworks by Diego Gisbert Llorens. And the largest part of the Eldar content for the present day is a Store item art aka Welcome to the toy-land.
Well, actually "bikini warrior elves" are a big part of the Dark Eldar. Wyches play a huge role in their society and they are (one of) their iconic melee units. I hope the devs add Dark Eldar before Lady Malys enslaves them. Then again, having seen the current CWE assets, perhaps it's better if they don't get added... All that aside. We know what will happen when the Tau get added first.
Oh good, you didn't forget the bare-naked men as well. They are an equally important part of Dark Eldar Not expert enough to know do they count as having bikinis too.
