All those years of people mis-believing the Dark Eldar worshipped Slaanesh... Now the Eldar have an avatar of her. This amuses me.
The Video not only has the names of the new models, but also a line about how the Aeldari "Doomed the Galaxy by birthing a Goddess. But will save it by birthing a God." https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/01/22/gathering-storm-ii-first-look/ Plus BoLS has screen captures of the new models plus their names. http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2017/01/bombshell-eldar-trio-minis-pics.html The Yncarne, Avatar of Ynnead. Looks to be Half Daemon and half Eldar, whilst also half female and half male. Yvraine, Emissary of Ynnead. She looks to be mainly a high-born Craftworld Eldar, possibly even a Farseer, yet her feet are bare suggesting an Exodite, and her sword seems to be a Dark Eldar Husk Blade. The Visarch, Sword of Ynnead. His armour does look as though it is based on a mix of Craftworld and Kabalite armour, but looks to be of a more ancient design as though derived from Pre-Fall designs. It may even be related to Exodite armour. And all three are covered in Soul Stones.
For years you had people believing the Dark Eldar either worshipped Slaanesh or were 'Chaos Eldar' because of their designs utilising dark colours and spikes along with such things as grotesque warmachines and experiments and their sadistic indulgences. Now the Avatar of Ynead wears purple coloured and gold detailed armour, whilst being split half male and half female, said Avatar also has pink daemonic looking skin and has a horn growing out of their head... One can't help but feel there maybe a connection or a certain influence considering the nature of the whole Death Watch interrupting the ritual etc. So considering if the Eldar still retain worshiping this god and that this avatar is a visual representation of this god and it does infact have an influence of Slaanesh, does that now mean the above forementioned is now true?
