I like the first one... it is screaming to me to see it converted into a part-bionic noblewoman from Terra

She's my favorite of the bunch.

She's Asajj Ventress!

I really like the second one.

And it's because it's quite restrained and subdued. No ridiculous leaping or flying pose, no bizarre flying energy stuff, and no daft oversized hat! Just a solid looking eldar guy with a sword. Nice.

I quite like the first two. The third one looked better in the video I saw. I like the Slaaneshi-infested? look to it, but not a fan of the swirling energy. I don't think that ever works.

It's their new thing i suppose. It'll go away in a few years in the same way faces on shields and slotta bases have gone away since.

I agree, the hard edged nature of sculpture just doesn't capture ethereal and energy effects well.

I like the first model.  It's interesting and who hasn't wanted to paint a cat with earrings?  I'd like the model to paint it up like my cat.

The first one is really good. Some egits on Reddit were saying it was a "boring and static 2nd edition pose" but they seem to be in the minority. She's got characterisation going on with her pose and everything.

The Eldar (Aeldari now?) gods are basically Chaos daemons. He's an avatar of Ynnead, the Eldar god of the dead.

I think the concept of the sculpt is great and really well executed but the reality of it is that I have no idea where the hell I'd start assembling it, never mind painting it.

Yep, love the first one: lots of potential for conversions to imperial nobles / persons of importance.

Why did they focus on the cats tail?

GW has been showing a small, cropped teaser image a week or two before releasing the full pic, to get people guessing.

The detail shots are the previously shown teasers, incorporated into the larger view.

[beefcake]

Good to know there is a reason. Otherwise that would just be weird.

[Ray Rivers]

Well...

New Stormcast warriors coming...



and Gryph-hounds!



There has also been rumors of a new form of cavalry... Gryph-chargers.

Can't wait!

So they have finally given the Sigmarines bolters....
