More Dark Eldar for advance order

The mixed unit is survivable with it's inv save allocation, but by the time u build the unit u want they turn out to be expensive I think.
Also 12" charge is cool, buy they only wall 6" and run like everyone else.

This whole release is a bit of a dumb move by GW really as it can all be made cheaper with very simple conversions..

You can easily put your own Venom together though?

You can put a Venom together but I don't know how easy it is!
The razorwing and voidraven is another matter.

I bought a Ravager on Ebay......I was just being lazy and I thought I`d cut the assemby stage out. I got it and the guy had glued it together wrong so I will possibly make a Venom out of that if I can`t rescue it.

Here's a few links that you might find helpful then, first is from BOLS, pictures of a few entrants in a competition to make a venom model:

And this is a tutorial that the winner wrote up:

It doesn't have any WIP pictures, but it is a pretty in depth arcticle about how he did the model.

Might help you out!

Just reread the codex entry for beastmaster. Am I missing something here.
The clawed fiend is T5. All others in unit are T3. Therefore while being shot at the majority Toughness kicks in and he's T3 like the others.

You're not missing anything.
Don't know why anyone would take this unit.

Here's a link to GW from yesterday.

At the bottom they "playtested" a few different beastmaster units.
FWIW they still don't look all that great to me.
