40K: Dark Eldar Warrior -OH MY!!! (Pic)

Gamesday UK is only a couple of days away, and here’s the latest that’s maing its way all over the tubes tonight – a pic of a Dark Eldar Warrior.  Juicy stuff after the jump:

First off, if you want to be surprised by the formal unveil on the weekend, don’t click…


Dark Eldar Warrior Pic  (via 40kOnline -scroll down to post#69)

So to me it looks very much like an Eldar Guardian, turned to the dark side.  The spikes are very subdued compared the the current ancient Dark Eldar Warriors.  The Splinter Rifle looks good, and the model has almost Aspect Warrior plates in certain sections.  I especially like some of the little details in the loincloth that are taken from the Dark Eldar Warrior painting that has been in the rulebook for years.

UPDATE: Harry over at Warseer says that pic is one of the early test sculpts and the final DE Warriors have evolved some since this shot was taken. Oh the plot thickens...


~So now we’ve seen the blurry Incubi, and a sample Warrior. With 6 plastic kits on the way and full new updated codex unveiled only hours away, I think this may effectively be the addition of a new race to the 40k universe – and I’m all for that. What do you folks think?
