Hand of Archon Models

[Brother Christopher]

Hello! I'm a first timer in this subforum. When it comes to fantasy and sci-fi, I'm a pretty vanilla, boring person. My favourite town in Heroes of Might and Magic III is Castle, my go-to 40k faction is Space Marines.

 

However, I'm enamoured with the Dark Eldar - I like their vibes and aesthetics. As such, I'd love to tackle a side project of sorts and have been eyeing the Hand of Archon kill team for some time. But I'd like to ask you this: are the models in that kit/box new sculpts or are they based on the old (2014?) refreshed models? Or are they completely new sculpts, like the vanilla Eldar refresh?

 

Having made mistakes in the past, I know that I'm a slow painter and don't want to get involved in older 40k kits any more (I'm sure that new kits will come out before I finish what I bought).

Hand of the Archon is the 2014 Kabalite Warriors kit with an upgrade sprue.

Oh, that's an absolute pity. I'll put my DE plans on hold for the time being. Hopefully, GW will do something cool for them, once they're done with the tidal wave of Space Marines upgrades.

 

Thank you for the reply! :)

 

BTW: I don't mean to imply that the current minis are bad. They were great at the time of their release and don't age poorly at all.
