New Dark Eldar start collecting box on the horizon?

My local store offered -15 bucks on every (big) box in an event.

Bought 2 start collecting at 50 bucks, and 2 Gangs of Commoragh at 30ish. Worth.

Yeah, my local has club fee's for a 24/7 code and a "large" discount.

So it was basically free Hellions, was nice. Sadly IDk what i'm going to do with 27 Reavers if they stay 30pts+............

You could always use them to play Gangs of Commoragh

Not a bad idea.

Edit: But i have 10 ish of the old 3rd ed ones, i am converting 9 of them into a new cooler reaver

Hi everyone. I'm just finalising this thread as the new start collecting box has just been released (see the link at the bottom of the post). It includes:
12 wyches
1 Succubus
3 reaver jetbikes
1 Venom

There is also a sentence that says this box includes the models that have been greatly improved in the 8e codex.

Its only 10 wyches
But i do like the new SC and might get 1 box at some point, tho i had hoped for something else than Reavers. Think everyone atm got 20+ reavers

I would have loved Hellions since I already have like 21 Reavers but only 15 Hellions.

Do I see a blaster on that jetbike??? ANNNDD is that a TL splinter-rifle???

Are those new skimmer bases too? Or is that just for the camera?

Reavers can already take a blaster, 1 per 3 bikes. And Venoms come with the underslung twin splinter rifle standard, but they are typically upgraded to the second splinter cannon. Been that way since they were introduced in 5e. Sorry to burst your bubble, but unfortunately nothing new there.

It's excellent news for me because now I can expand my Cult units (beyond those from GoC) with the new Start Collecting box.

Now if only they made another Start Collecting for Covens with a Haemonculus,10 Wracks and 2 Talos kits it would be awesome...

That would really be sweet, perfect way to set up a nice little coven patrol detachment for those of us who don't have any coven units. Unfortunate that we'll likely only get the one box though.

Yes. Coven is very expensive to buy, i'd like to see simply a Haemy+10 wracks (or 10 wracks + 3 grots, or anything really).

I don't see why wracks are twice the price of kabalite warriors/wyches. Warriors/wyches are actually quite reasonably priced given what prices are for the newer models these days, but wracks are a tad much considering they are just troops. O well, suppose we'll just have to fork out the ash for 10 wracks, a heamonculus and maybe a talos to get a nice little coven patrol into our post-codex lists.

I have high hopes for tomorrow. I have tons of wyches, reavers and hellions (not to mention birdies) waiting to be played !

So I might pass for Coven at first.

edit: ignore me

"Greatly Improved" I was quoting this in the hope that they are hinting at the fact that Splinter Rifles and Blasters have been "Greatly Improved."
