Court of the Archon

So rumors have been posted with screenshots of the two new Finecast models for Court of the Archon.  The Ur-ghul and Medusae.  The ur-ghul looks like a skinned DE man.  Kindy freaky looking.  The medusae looks like a headcrab with tentacles, which is what it is supposed to look like.

I really like the medusae of all 4 of the options in the court.  D6 strength and D6 ap flamer template is hawt.  As is now though, you can only take 2 and then have to take 1 of the each for the other three options.  Really lame.  Takes the potential right out of that Codex entry.  The T5 guy? Why bother, his toughness never matters! Now if you could pick and choose, that would add so much flavor and potential for a really awesome unit.  Buuuuuut Gw continues to put together some really awesome new books but then have an entry in it like that to just make you go, "Wha?!".  Pyrovore comes to mind.

I'm looking forward to the last few pieces of the Dark Eldar line to come out. The special characters and especially the Bomber!

  1. I'm not sold on the new models, but I have not really seen any good pictures of them.

    That being said, the court is something I am toying with for a 10 venom hybrid list. Could be a lot of fun running them around and 120 splinter shots a turn is nothing to laugh at. I can already hear my nid and foot IG buddies wimpering.

  2. Sure 10 venoms will smack around any infantry, but you still need to de-mech most armies.

    The court is another way to get some more venoms but at the cost of a unit that doesn't work all that well. I think the court just needs to be errat'd so you can just take one type.
