Somebody got their White Dwarf early, checkout this video that just showed up on YouTube…

So right off the bat, looks like…

  • EVERY jetbike in the 3-10 man squad can take a Shuriken Cannon, or Scatter Laser!
  • It looks like the Eldar are losing Daemonology Malefic powers – HOORAY!
  • “As a result, Distort weapons have the Destroyer Rule”
  • Box of 3 new Eldar jetbikes for $41

So Distort Weapons being ‘Destroyer’ helps the Wraithknight, Hemlock, and D-Cannon Battery!

The real question is whether Wraithguard get access to it. D-scythe Destroyer Templates make me shudder… Let’s hope the Design Studio makes Wraithguard weapons just AP2 with Distort!

Also, you better bet that Wraithknights and the new Jetbikes are going to FLY off shelves. Get your credit cards ready in your quick-draw holster if you want any.
