Okay, I feel pretty honored that GW stole/was inspiring by the Raiders book. The combination of everything released (from models to fiction) is indicative that somebody liked the work.

You know Mos, I was thinking the same thing after I just bought and read the new DE Codex last week. First thing that went through my mind..."SOMEONE over at GWHQ is a fan". Ironic is it not?

Ironic is it not? GW dumped Epic for pure business reasons, did they not? But they still sell the models and host the rules on their website, so I'm not surprised that somebody still has a soft spot for it, even if they can't talk about it too much. |

This also reduces the chance of me being sued I suppose. Why would they ruin their source of inspiration?  I think Epic was dumped because they were consolidating their business. It didn't matter what it was. Much like a body reduces blood flow to your arms and legs when it is cold to protect the core. It may not look or feel like a good move to lose a hand to frostbite, but it's better than dying. But back on the Dark Eldar, I seriously am wondering what dealings Jervis had with them. Whoever it was that was inspired must have started awhile ago (2009?) when Raiders was relatively new. |

He walked in, dropped it on the desk and said 'add this to the background file'. maybe.

Not exactly. The original idea came from a bit of fiction I found on the web - no author cited - threw it out to the group and IIRC it was met with a moderate level of disdain. Rug might have been the only one that liked it besides me.

More Dark Eldar stuff here. Things that struck me as very familiar: Giant claws coming out of back of arena beast. Wyches carrying morning stars. Too fun! |

Anyone else think the Cronos Parasite Engine could have potential for converting to a Slaanesh titan in Epic? (not sure whether a Reaver or Warlord)

Why not just use it for the DE titan that appears in the Raiders supplement? Name escapes me, but you know the one. |

I don't personally collect DE, but you're right that could be a good option. Though actually maybe the model might be lot to big for that? It's on the large 60mm flying stand to give a sense of scale and the DE titan is only DC4. |
