Eldar Wraithseer
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events/Wraithseer.html

Rare and precious beyond compare, their souls protected from the predations of Slaanesh within spirit stones, long-dead Warlocks of great power can still be summoned to aid their Craftworld in the form of a Wraithseer. Armed with a lethal D-Cannon and a Wraithblade wreathed in the eldritch energy of their psychic arts, a Wraithseer is a terrible and implacable foe.

The Eldar Wraithseer, designed by Will Hayes, is a complete resin and plastic kit that will be available in limited numbers at the Forge World Open Day prior to its release later in April. The kit costs £34.

Eldar Corsairs
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events/Corsairs.html

There are many bands of so-called ‘Corsair’ Eldar scattered across the galaxy, and all are savage and deadly raiders. Outcasts from the strict confines of the Craftworlds, the Corsairs live in self-imposed exile, seeking to explore the galaxy and experience the full gamut of emotion and sensation accessible to the Eldar’s sensitive psyche.

Most are young and adventurous Eldar who will eventually return to their homes older, wiser and tempered by warfare. Some, however, embrace the raider’s life completely and fall further still, becoming ever more bloodthirsty and psychotic, indulging their darkest impulses and eventually seeking out the infamous Dark City.

The Eldar Corsair Conversion Kit is designed for use with the plastic Eldar range. Designed by Will Hayes, this resin upgrade kit contains detailed weapons, jump packs and heads that enable Eldar players to convert ten plastic Eldar Guardians into Corsairs. The Corsair kit will be available in limited numbers at the Forge World Open Day, priced at £18.

Die Korsaren sind anscheinend diesem alten Bild nachempfunden.

Ich finde die corsairs in ordnung, vor allem weil sie einen astreinen Satz Laserblaster liefern, genau was ich für meine Exos brauch. Und die flügelchen machen sicher auch eine nette Dekoration.

Aber der Wraithseer ist für mich das highlight. Auf sowas hab ich schon länger gewartet.
Und die Tatsache, dass er eine Warpkanone auf der schulter hat macht mir Hoffnung dass in der Zukunft ein inspirierter Codexschreiber (hoffentlich Phil Kelly, und nicht einer von diesen beiden Spaßvögeln) das für normale P-Lords in den Codex übernimmt.

Bin immer gespannter auf das IA vol. 11, wird wohl das erste IA seit dem original IA2 das ich mir hol.
 
Hehe, der hat einen Schutzfeldgenerator und kann sich selbst gunsten, verwundet im NK alles auf die 2, darf dank Wraithwaffe die Trefferwürfe wiederholen, kann Verdammnis zaubern und hat ne Warpkanone -JAWOHL, so stell ich mir die Eldarantwort auf Scriptorbots vor !!!


ich glaub ich mus ne bank ausrauben.. die eldar bekommen in letzter zeit sooooo tolle neue sachen.. ich kack die wand an :clown:
 
Hi there,
In this newsletter we are pleased to unveil the huge Imperial Guard Crassus Armoured Transport as well as two new decal sheets for Badab War Chapters: the noble Red Scorpions and the sinister Minotaurs. We also have details of our opening hours over the forthcoming Easter and UK May Day bank holiday weekends.


Imperial Guard Crassus Armoured Transport

PREIS: 110 Pfund!

The Crassus Armoured Transport is not a standard frontline Imperial Guard vehicle, but its armoured bulk and transport capacity make it extremely capable. Based upon the Macharius Heavy Tank chassis, the Crassus is powerful, reliable, and while ponderous, it can transport an entire infantry platoon of up to 31 Guardsmen, while its hull bristles with potent heavy weapons sponsons.
This immense armoured carrier is named after one of Lord Solar Macharius’ greatest generals, Borgen Crassus, who remained steadfastly loyal to the Imperium throughout the grim and bloody Macharian Heresy that followed the Lord Solar’s death.
The vehicle can be retrofitted with additional weapons to fulfil other battlefield roles as required, and thousands of these vast transports were drafted into the 6th Cadian Armoured’s ranks during the fighting on Betalis III.

The Crassus Armoured Transport is a massive full resin kit designed by Daren Parrwood, featuring a fully detailed interior, and it is available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing 26th April. Forge World’s Book Design team have provided these experimental rules, taken from Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara, to allow any Imperial Guard army to field this lumbering behemoth.

Badab War Decal Sheets

The Minotaurs Decal Sheet also features three sizes of trim suitable for use on banners or cloak hems and large heraldic chevrons and lettering for use on vehicles.
Both the Minotaurs decal sheet and the Red Scorpions decal sheet are available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing 26th April.

Hmm.. Der Wraithseer ist ganz nett, aber wirklich etwas "steif" von der Haltung her. Da wäre ne Pose wo er seinen Speer schwingt schon cooler gewesen. Die Corsairs find ich kacke. Die erinnern mich zu stark an die ganz alten Gardisten...😛uke:
Die Transfer-Sheets sind ja schön und gut, aber hatte hier mal nicht jemand erzählt, dass zu den Orden die am Badab-Krieg beteiligt waren Schulterpanzer kommen (und man die schon auf nem GD sehen konnte??)????????:huh:

Ich schätze mal der hohe Preis findet seine Begründung mit einem hochdetailierten Interieur. Dann wäre der Preis im Vergleich zu anderen, nicht ganz so hochwertigen Forge World Produkten gerechtfertigt.

Er ist wohl, im Gegensatz zum Gorgon, einer der
Kandidaten für den nächsten Imp-Dex für ~2016.

@Lazarus: Nicht jeder stattet alle seine 900+ Marines ausschließlich mit 3D-Schulterpanzern von FW aus. Da kommen solche Transfersheets ganz praktisch.

Da der zu 80% aus plaste Wraith Lord besteht ist das kein Problem.

Ja kommen auch mit der Zeit, aber die Decals Sheets sind eine recht nützliche Ergänzung dazu.
