Huge rumors point to a second wave of Warhammer 40k Eldar releases with seven new miniatures kits for Aspect Warriors and Phoenix Lords!
We’ve just seen the new plastic Striking Scorpions, but according to these rumors, that’s just the start!
Before we dive into them, these are just rumors, so take them with as much salt as you need, as nothing is confirmed until GW says it is. If you’ve been losing to Eldar a lot recently, maybe you can hope these aren’t true…
RUMORS: New Eldar Aspect Warrior Miniatures & Kits
The new rumors come from the B&C via Valrak.
Aspects:
- New Swooping Hawks (Linked to KT Apparently)
- New Fire Dragons
- New Warp Spiders
Phoenix Lords
- New Asurmen
- New Baharoth
- New Fuegan
- New Warp Spider Phoenix Lord
They have been slowly reworking the Aspect Warriors, as they are all very old kits (other than the reworked ones). So it would be nice to get more of them updated, and with every codex release so far in 10th each faction has gotten a new miniature release.
Games Workshop has updated Banshees, Dark Reapers, Shining Spears, and now Striking Scorpions. If they do these three that are rumored, we’d only be left with a couple of old kits at this point.
Most notably, the Dire Avengers (but at least they are in plastic) and the other lesser-known aspects that may not get models.
RUMORS: New Eldar Phoenix Lords
Next up, a lot of the Phoenix Lords are old models. Most of the Phoenix Lords aren’t even on GW’s website (in the USA, at least), and they need an update badly. With these four, the line would be really rounded out, and while they have an old line of models right now, this would bring Eldar to a full update over the last 3-4 editions.
While these are rumors, Valrak seemed to be the first one pushing that the Kill Team box would have Striking Scorpions, so that bodes well for these rumors!
Just like we saw with the Death Korps of Krieg in Kill Team, sometimes that is what heralds a revamp for the entire faction. So perhaps seeing the Scorpions arrive first in Kill Team may mean the same thing will be true for another wave of Eldar miniatures!
Either way, it would be nice to have the line updated, considering the Aspect Warriors and especially the Phoenix Lords have taken a backseat for a long, long time.
