40K RUMORS: Eldar Minis Followup
Kirby’s got a live on on the line in the Land Down Under. Here’s his follow up details of the earlier-mentioned Eldar mini boxes. Here’s the details:

Still no talk at all regarding schedule or rules. This is a detailed description of the contents of the Eldar boxes which were sighted.
Some teasers to get you started:
The Avatar of the Young King
Completely new design, much smaller, only as large as a wraithguard, set of aspect armour where every piece is spread out and connected by a body of magma, looks like an fire/earth elemental clad in a suit of armour, dire avenger helm with fire from the eyes and half burnt helm crest, floats and torso pose looks like vader during his Noooo scream, hands are armored, blood is dripping from the left, the right is molten and transformed into a blade.
Eldar Spirit Warrior
wraithlord-war walker mix, trygon base, running bird legs with hooves, huge scaled torso, a dozen poles extend from the back (like wraithlord but three times as much), left forearm replaced with massive lance, right hand holds extra handle on lance shaft or a three pronged swastika blade. Lower back, left shoulder and part of the left arm are concealed by an impressive cloak, head is surrounded by scaled armour plating, large gem at the front, doesn’t bend upward towards the end but downward, whole model leans forward, chest can be opened, female pilot inside.
So, some odd details and some wonky sounding names. Eldar are mentioned as being in contention with Tau Empire for the Q1 2013 slot, so minis could in fact be done and on ice (like this month’s Chaos Daemons have been for some time). Still, proceed with all due diligence.
~More on the Lounge here. Have at it folks.
