No problem. None of the new greens have been completed yet (first Super Heavies are due in this week but Will's said he's running a little late anyway!) so I cant say anything for definite, but I know a new Av is on its way around april with some other interesting stuff & I'll post pics as soon as I'm allowed ater I've painted it.  _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

So how much of the old Eldar range (excluding infantry) be re-released?
Cheers
Chris

Always good to hear about new Eldar, cheers Tuff- if the new Avatar looks anywhere near as good as the SM2 one I'll grab one straight away..
I want something that can chop titans off at the knees, not just take on walkers!!

I honestly dont know I'm afraid. I know all the super heavies & titans are being redone, but I dont know about the rest of the range.
Jervis said at the tournament that a lot of the Eldar vehicles need to be redone, but whether he just ment that with respect to me & them needing to have new painted versions, or whether he meant they're re-making the models is anyones guess.

Hi!
Every time I hear the eldar title "stormwind" it makes me think about IG vehicles.
Could they make a more "eldarish" title?

Problem is the word is an amalgam. You see, "Storm" is certainly associated with IG, namely in the superheavy tanks. OTOH "wind" is something not normally associated with IG.

Minor points - its SWORDwind, not STORMwind....

You've clearly never shared a trench with an IG grunt after 3 weeks on vacuum packed rations........

Your little comment just gave a whole new meaning to the "Wind Rider Host" |
AWW MAN! A horrible image just appeared in my head - and just as I was preparing to go to bed!
Cheers!

For poops and giggles I added up the costs of buying a 2000 point Epic A Space Marine force from scratch, meaning acting as if I didn't already own thousands of Epic minis.
Here is my army list and and an estiamte of what it would cost in USD. . . based on www.xe.com. I know US prices will be a little lower.
Reaver Titan $30
Land Raiders $36
Tactical + Commander $36
Rhinos $18
Devastator + Commander (Hopefully already included in above)
Rhinos (included above)
Predators $16
Considering how GW prices things by code, I think this would be closer to:
Reaver Titan $25 (Same as 40k Terminator squad)
Land Raiders $35 (Same as the 40k SM Dreadnought)
Tactical + Commander $35 (Same as above)
Rhinos $15 (Same as 40k SM Scouts)
Devastator + Commander (Hopefully already included in above)
Rhinos (included above)
Predators $15 (Maybe more)
Compare what something costs in ? and compare it to USD on the websites, and you'll see what I mean. So above, I can expect to pay 125 for what amounts to 5 formations. Jesus Christ. I am glad I have all my plastics. . .
I didn't even include the rulebook. That should be another $30.

Even I, the eternal Epic optimist, have to admit that the numbers are not pretty... even the prices of plastics are pretty OTT.
