it's here and in my hands, well it's on the side but you get the idea! Any questions on the book, the rules or just in general let me know in the comments below and I'll do my best to answer them.
First impressions are "yay, its signed" followed by "ye gads! this cover feels rather thick.", it would seem the improved production doesn't just relate to the artwork but seems to extend to the quality of the physical book itself!
So any questions get asking!

RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS & THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK:
The back story is ok, and intriguing end but not the big twist they promised on their YouTube video. Still good story about the attacks and the end leaves it open for a second book or at least some more eldar love from forgeworld. The problem is telling you anything really does spoil it as its not till like the last 2-3 pages of back story we find out why they attack and its a very "hinted" reason rather then a definative one and a somewhat shoddy reason to start a whole war, thats for sure!!
With regards the corsairs there is a nice section detailing some corsair "warbands" and their colour schemes. Not to mention some awesome colour plates of vehicles. Ruleswise as one would expect drawers heavily on codex eldar but offers the following units:
- Corsair prince
- Blade sworn retinue
- Void dreamer - pseudo warlocks
- Voidstorm squad - cqc specialists
- Harlequins
- Craftworld outcasts
- Dark eldar kabalite warriors
- Corsair squads - guardians
- Wasp walkers
- Jetbikes
- Falcons
- Venoms
- Hornets
- Nightwings
- Night spinners
- Phoenix bombers
- Warp hunters - falcon variant
- Firestorm
In short all the best bits from all the eldar books, and way to many choices!!!
As for IG, Titans and SW no new toys (well apart from the crassus tanks) but doesnt stop me wanting more stuff. only hope if they do a second we get some more things like cadian based engineers (ala DKOK mole mortars etc or elysian lascutters) but still the colour prints are good.
Any other questions?
Nice! I was interested in this one but after two Badab Books I couldn't stomach coughing up for another IA so soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the Corsairs army list.
Any context as to why the Craftworlds and Corsairs are attacking exactly? Don't need to spoil how it all ends, just curious as to what they might be thinking is all.

So...the first appearance of the Space Wolves in an Imperial Armour and all we get is a poorly sculpted character that hasn't even been released yet?(gone through at least two complete resculpts)
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to this for a long time, but not any more really.
Is it at least written well?
reasonably well written, but isnt as action packed as a novel is. Some areas i do think could have been padded out and other then an awesome peice of art i think the SWs were really undersold, im not their biggest fan but they make me want some now just so they get some love!
ReplyDeleteHow do the wasp and hornet rules compare to the original forgeworld sets, not really intrested in the fluff so find it a tad annoying that they haven't put the new rules on the FW site (getting 3 hornets for Xmas and just putting my second wasp together)
ReplyDeletenot much of a change from what i can see, slightly better in my view but as a non-eldar player i cant really see their use as there are no guardsmen in them :D
ReplyDeletewill definately say though depending on the list you field you will end up wanting to use them
