I was thinking the exact thing actually.

Release date is March 25th 2014.

I have to say that GW's art department has been knocking it out of the park since 6th edition.


I can't name a single codex cover that has not been better than every single previous editions' cover since the release of the first hardback codex.

Seems BL is following in that direction.

Now that is jaw dropping. Actually this Dark Eldar path series is some of the best material BL has put out since Eisenhorn. I've been looking forward to this book for ages.

Me three. In fact, when I saw the pic I wondered if it was a mock up. :)

Very impressive. I would tend to imagine an Archon being a little more preoccupied with appearance though than to allow such hideous scarring on the head, or those crow's feet. I suppose every Archon is different, that's half the fun of the political intrigue and plotting that's been going on so far in the books.

Almost makes me want to start Dark Eldar now.

Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing. Still a rad picture, though!

Evil Elrond - me four. Although I was also thinking he looked kinda like a Vampire Count from Fantasy - the only thing he's missing are fangs...

Rather depends on whether scars and crow's feet are fashionable in Komorragh at that point, really. ;)

True enough, I recall a blurb in the codex to the effect of "it became fashionable for a while to have rather grotesque physical alterations performed by the Haemonculi, and after a while everyone realized it was stupid and had the work all undone."

I think some of the really, really old ones are past looking good again. I still use my old metal your-face-is-my-new-face model :P Cool cover.

Personally I dont think it looks like Elrond at all. Id say Agent Smith.
