Eldar Bomber: Have You Seen Me?

[Bigred]

If you remember, there was chatter for months over TWO Eldar flyer kits that were in production.

The two fighters in the Crimson Hunter/Hemlock box was one AND there was a larger bomber that was sighted by sources. Its possible this bomber is being held for either a second Eldar wave, or Apocalypse. In anycase that bomber didn't ship in the codex-release wave.

Here is an artist mockup put together with help from folks 'in the know'.

The things you will notice compared to the fighter are:

-Lengthier fuselage
-Wider wingspan without the forward curving wings of the fighters
-Dual closely mounted engines per wing (4 engines in total)
-Dual cockpits (pilot and gunner)
-Probably bombs underslung as well

Now we wait...

Must be for apocalypse if it's not in the codex. Doesn't sound super-heavy big but still pretty hefty.

it might be the phoenix bomber as that is only for apocalypse

I'd be surprised if they stole the existing FW kit. And the phoenix is 40k approved but still not universally accepted. ;)

I thought GW wasn't copying FW's stuff at the moment?

Beat me to it ;)

I am sure it's the voidRaven. Already mentioned at last games day as having dual cockpit. The new eldar flyers closely resemble the dark elder ones, so no surprise if it truly is the voidRaven.

Photofinish! :D

That does seem likely.

Its only not universally accepted by asshats that aren't worth playing anyways.

LOL! Smiley quote of the day for me! :) I still haven't figured out why TO's don't universally allow the 40k approved FW models or play with the full 6th edition rules either. It can't be because they're worried about game balance. After all, they allow Vendetta and Cron air spam as is... :D

Sounds like the voidraven

If it is then :) :) :)

Where is the Dark Eldar bomber? Also could the DE get a fighter that fights? You know to follow their fluff.
