New Archon, Lady Malys & Codex: Drukhari

[CL_Mission]

It's a shame Wracks are still direct only but the price is a little under what I expected. It's 12:45 and the battleforce is still in stock, I hadn't planned to pick one up now but my local independent store can have some of the less popular army boxes hang around for a while so if they still have one of these on their shelves in a couple of months I may snag one since by the looks of it the Christmas boxes aren't going to be to my taste. Alternatively with demand not being that high or GW having more stock it might mean the prices for the Archon individually on ebay won't be too terrible and I can pick one up in a couple of weeks.

The battle force is a good way to start a Dark Eldar army. Most long term collectors probably have enough of all those units. I’m debating getting a combat patrol. Don’t know if I need more Talos. Probably do. I’ve only got 3 Talos/Cronos chassis. My wracks are Raging Heroes which are a little small compared to my other battleline.

 

Looks like they’re sold out of the battle force in the states now. If they didn’t sell out I would claim it was a wasted opportunity not to give us a new kit in there.

Still the best range refresh of all time, and they hold up to this day.

I will definitely get the combat patrol- I only have one Talos and five Wracks.

 

I like the battlebox, but I can't spend that much at once. I have at least one of every unit in the box, but I could use everything in it too.

The lady mals feels watered down in a way i can't put my finger on.  She has all of tropes covered but... meh?

She’s awesome, the face finally looks feminine and tough without having a shaved/butch haircut.

 

But she feels more eldar than dark eldar. I do love the model though.

...Oh dear. That is disappointing. Especially given how well they did the face on the model. As is it kinda reminds me of this...

Except somehow considerably less appealing.

LMAO! That´s...GW´s version of a woman. Guess I won´t be buying the model after all. 

 

Edit:

We need Kruellagh now more than ever with her tantalizing flosskini. She might not be the heroine we deserve but the heroine we desperately need. Dial 0190 for Dark Eldar Waifu.

If that's the case, a new End-of-Edition campaign should start being teased soon. Hopefully, 11th edition gives drukhari the big wave refresh they deserve.
