Book Review: Path of the Warrior by Gav Thorpe (Spoiler free)

For me (and many others) Gav Thorpe has always been the custodian of Eldar lore. His writing has graced both Eldar Codices and the glossy pages of White Dwarf since time immemorial. Recently I stumbled upon a Thorpe short story entitled 'Rebirth' which tells the tale of an exarch giving his life to allow Phoenix Lord, Karandras, to be reborn. With my interest piqued in the strange ways of our craftworldian cousins I turned to the 'Black Library' for more curiosities.

Well the weekend of raiding, slaughtering and cursing the dice gods is imminent and the troops are ready! To celebrate I decided to film a quick tour to show you around my Dark Eldar kabal. Enjoy!

"A blaster, a blaster, my kingdom for a blaster!"

Why do Games Workshop insist on rationing the special weapons in their plastic kits so much?  I mean is it too much to expect a few spares here and there?

Something must have gone wrong... Everything's changed!

The Daemons! As we were escaping, they must have sabotaged the portal! How long have we been stuck in the Webway?! ... Everything's changed...

At least that's what it feels like coming back after such a long absence. Greetings once again fellow raiders, it's been a while!

Wave 1.5 available for Pre-Order...

The next wave of Pre-Orders are up. Hellions, Ravagers, Mandrakes, Urien...and a pretty lame Web Way Portal...

New Dark Eldar: The Ultimate Rules Summary!

I present to you....more stuff I've pinched from Warseer! Saves you having to trawl through the 150 page thread though :p... Anyway as far as I can tell this is every unit in the Codex summarised, enjoy...

Leaked Artwork: Scourges, Talos, Drazhar & More...

These popped up on Warseer, posted by BramGaunt, and I just had to share them. The above pic is of the new Drazhar, father of the Incubi sect. Below is;

Hellion, Mandrake, Urien, Ravager Pics & Loads More Rules!

So the pre-orders for the first wave finally went up yesterday and GW decided to give us an extra treat and reveal the follow up 1.5 wave which will be up for pre-order in a couple of weeks. Take a look at these...

Dark Eldar Pre-orders up now!

Ladies & Gentlemen! Roll up, roll up, come get your Dark Eldar pre-orders. Get 'em while they're still hot...

It's the moment we've all been waiting for, Wayland Games have put up their discount Dark Eldar Pre-orders. Total Wargamer should have theirs up soon (edit: They are now up!). I'd recommend checking both before ordering to compare prices! I'm bagging a codex, and come payday a few more bits. So what's your first order going to be?

p.s Note the Mandrakes and Ravager in the pic! >:-D

Gamesday is HERE! Ninth update...(Codex Art, Rules)

More rules and some artwork from the Codex have surfaced. Let's take a look...

Gamesday is HERE! Eigth update...(Codex, Rules, Mandrakes)

Check out the new Mandrakes. As suspected they are the guys with the glowing Tattoos on the Codex artwork. "Thought to be the decendents of a cult that bred with Daemons..."

Gamesday is HERE! Seventh update...(Various Pic's Courtesy of GrenAcid )

Gamesday is HERE! Sixth update...(More Warrior Pics)

Turns out the angle was just funny on the above pic.

Gamesday is HERE! Fifth update...(Wyches, Speciality Items)

It looks great, but it's so far removed from the old Wyches it's hard to picture it as such.

Gamesday is HERE! Fourth update...(Archon, Jetbike, Raider, Warrior, Codex Art)

New Archon. very similar to the Incubi.

Gamesday is HERE! Third update...(Incubi, Harlequins)

 

At last we can see the new Incubi in all their glory!

In other news we have confirmation that Harlequins are in the new codex!

Gamesday is HERE! Second update...(Raiders, Warriors, Wyches...)

I presume these are the new Mandrakes (edit: They are actually Wyches) . Slightly blurry pic but from what I can see they look fantastic!

Gamesday is HERE! First update...

Gamesday is here, and the punters are already in. Alas I am not one of them but I will be collating all the pics and reveals here. So keep checking back today to see all the latest news! First up...

Have you ever seen a model as beautiful as that? Because I haven't. I am seriously blown away. It's so well proportioned (especially for a GW model) and the dynamic pose is perfect. I guess we are looking at Lelith here? Possibly a Wych?

Leaked Dark Eldar Warrior is 'Not the Final Version'!

...Says Harry (Warseer's reliable inside man). He goes on to say it's:
