Well, there's a pic of the Revenant up on the SG website, and the 1.0 Ulthw? list is up along with an update for the Black Legion, Feral Orks, and Biel-Tann. Revenant's pretty strange - looks like a cross between a Dire Avenger, a unit from Evangelion, a bit of Dark Eldar, and some Jedi style posing, with just a hint of the previous Revenant thrown in. |

I think the new Revenant requires some time to getting used to. Looks like a nice detailed model but the pose is just so fundamentally different from the previous versions that it will probablt recieve quite a bit of flaming to begin with. I think I like it though...  Cheers!

I like it - but I'd like it better if WH40K didn't exist - in particular, Wraitghuard. Ok, I'm being unclear : it looks a lot like a WH40k figure used in an Epic game, a bit like an Exarch, or a Wraithguard with a new set of weapons. It's a nice model, but looks a bit out of place: I think it's the head - it looks too WH40K-scale. |

I'm going to have to disagree with vanvlak on this one. I don't think wraithguard at all when I see it, I see "Five Star Stories" the anime and manga epic. Google it and you'll see what I mean. Edit here's a few pics to save everyone the trouble. http://www.toyspress.co.jp/FSSe/ch_mort ... ha018.html http://www.toyspress.co.jp/FSSe/ch_mort ... ha011.html and from escaflowne http://www.escaflowneonline.com/guymele ... zade.shtml http://www.escaflowneonline.com/guymelefs/teiring.shtml These aren't the best matches, but I'd say GW has been watching a lot of anime of late.Not a bad thing mind you. |

Regardless, the head and legs look like they could be 40k figures. It's not really a bad thing, AFAIK, and helps to set apart the Eldar from the Humans and the Orks, but it will take some getting used to. |

Ah excellent.... looks great in my opinion! I can see your point Vanvlak, but it looks nicely detailed and very dynamic. I'd like to see some more angles before I pass final judgement on it; but a pretty easy way of making it less 40k-ish would be to fill the visor with green stuff and file it smooth- I'll consider doing this when I get a few for my Eldar....

Hi Stormseer et al, don't get me wrong, I like it too, but I keep seeing it in the wrong scale, if you get what I mean. Your head idea (or a total replacement with a n old Titan head - if you have one, that is) should work. Ork D, I agree that it looks terribly (but not terrible as in ugly) Manga/Anime, but for me it's the head of this model which first draws my eye, and this says 'WH40K Eldar'. A painted model might of course look different. Then again, this has it's possibilities. Check out the price of a box of WH40K plastic Guardians; check the (future) cost of the Revenants. Think what you could do with around 16 Revenants; it's not an overwhelmingly difficult conversion. And Eldrad's your uncle!

the figure certainly look like an upsized humanoid; thus the "wrong scale" feeling. but it matches Jes goowin sketches quite greatly, and in fact it remind me a lot of the old Eldar knight range; the mini have both wonderfull pose ( very dynamic) and details, i assume everyone will like it once we get used to it; and all the more so if the Phantom/Warlord get the same "design". After all, Eldar titans are made of Wraithbone and are almost upsized wraithguard, baring the crew (they have quite a bit of their own "spirit" too). I must say i was somewhat surprised but i like it quite much. Athmos |

OK, now I have seen the picture. First I am going to say "Eaewww". The sad thing is I like the model for some kind of Eldar Special Forces guy or some thing. It does not look Epic in scale to me at all, further it seems to be a major shift in the overall Eldar look. This combined with the Tau seem to suggest a major Anime feel to some of their races. I think I will stick to my "Old School" originals for now. dafrca |
