I guess it's going to be nothing but Eldar then? At least they can show something else though. 3 of the 4 have totally been Rangers. Give me a little Striking Scorpion mandible or something!

Plastic Illic seems like a good guess.

Top right looks like an Eldar firearm as well.

Thats an eldar ruin for sure. You can even see those on drukhari and harlequin models. I think craftworlds are finally getting their model on a rock

Edit: forgot about Howling Banshees. They also have the same rock

Its always possible they will do it in batches... All elder for the first ten or more, then the background changes and the elder takeover of the rumor engine ends.  I don't think they'll change it up while they are pushing the elder advent takeover thing 🙂

I'm hoping for this!! Mixing it up a bit would be fun for everyone. New Model Monday is for Specialist Games or at least has been for months now, so some love being thrown AOS way would be nice.

jesus why are even the new eldar sculpts so mogged in comparison with other new releases? Those banshees look like from 2010s (imo) and Lelith Hesperax is a prime example what happens when you cannot sculpt and paint nonhuman nonmale physique. Hobbit feet Lelith.

Hey, 2010 banshees is a better deal than 1990s rest of the aemy I guess XD

But for real tho, I think its more that this Lelith mini is not the best. If you look at other recent minis (incubi, Ynnari trio etc) those are decent. Theres also always the chance of it being a weird shot for the mini or the painting team at GW didnt do a good job. How many times have we seen a really weird face on a mini just to discover it was how it was painted? That happens a lot on 40k

If we are talking ugly and in need of updating, it doesnt get more dire than the Ogor Butcher. 

If the Rumours are true and the only update Mawtribes get is a new Butcher, at least it's the mini in most need of it!!

Yeah there is a LOT that can be updated.

Butchers, Slaughtermasters, Frost Sabres, Icebrow Hunter, Yehtee, Gorger, Maneaters.

I'm hearing rumours that the Dragons are coming out of the box miscast? Any one gotten their hands on one or can corroborate/debunk? I'm hoping it's just an assembly error or false. This is the picture I've seen.

EDIT: A friend who preordered a dragon says theirs's isn't miscast, so leaning towards this being a false rumour or at least rare.

The banshees do look kind of... dated on release yeah.
Lelith looks bad due to GW's bizarre style of painting faces as if they were carved from rock. Just look at this paintjob I found elsewhere that definitely isn't out of reach for most people.

Finished Lelith Hesperax, the Knife party enthusiast of the 40k universe.  Wasn't expecting the model to be this tough to paint... : r/minipainting

TBH it's just a bad model that doesn't capture at all what she's supposed to be, one of the most graceful and lithe duelists in the galaxy. It'd be fine for some Necromunda cage fighter, it isn't very good for her. 

I think, in some way, the model just lacks majesty that is befitting of the character. If you were to show me (someone with only the most passing knowledge of Dark Eldar) that model with no explanation then I'd think she was a generic combat hero. 

The proportions (or maybe just the angle) feel a bit off too - she looks like she has really short legs and a really big upper torso in most pictures I've seen of her.

Well I am glad no one no else notice that Middle earth got new model and a teaser today just to keep the jelly levels low

The new Orc models do look awesome though.

Speaking of LOTR one thing I love about that system is the scaling of Dwarves. They look perfect standing next to humans yet in AOS Duardin are nearly at Stormcast height, which are supposed to be 8 foot Demi Gods.

2005, so nearer to 20. And it was painful realisation for me 😂

 

I’d love a new butcher kit. I’d love a multi part butcher kit even more. As stunning as most of GW’s new era kits are they do like variety, the smaller character kits of course not the bigger sprues like Be’Lakor and Kroak. Just an extra hand and head would be so welcome. Was miffed when the Tyrant was just a singular kit.
