i was wondering that too

It replaces Codex Eldar.
Betting time. Join the debate, how much do people reckon the Wraith knight will be now?
I reckon double now less a bit, so 450. Anyone else willing to guess?
Its 240pts now and has gained Strength D on its cannons and is a Gargantuan creature (so immune to ID, can fire all weapons at separate targets and has stomp attacks and the following special rules - Fear, Fearless, Feel No Pain, Hammer of Wrath, Move Through Cover, Relentless, Smash, Strikedown,).
Just as a bit of new release fun.

Lmao Vince, I'm biting like a tramp on chips!
Okay.. I'm going no more than 300pts no upgrades..
RE: New Eldar? - Simian - 16-04-2015
so the eldar codex has been out just over a year and its being replaced already?
brilliant.
the points cost depends on how many they sold last time and how many they want to sell this time....too cynical?
RE: New Eldar? - jaqenhgar - 16-04-2015
Will it be a Lord of War?
400pts min, 500pts max, I'm going for 425pts...!
RE: New Eldar? - manrogue - 16-04-2015
Not sure if a LoW, at min I'd guess not as in decurion can take up to 12.
RE: New Eldar? - Embolden - 16-04-2015
Yeah I'm saying no to LoW as well... just Gargantuan creature with Str D
Cannot wait till next weekend

Not cynical, I think you are absolutely correct. This is probably GW's strategy now, a more agile release of rules/dataslates to push sale areas. Not quite sure why Eldar are done so soon, as I would have expected Eldar sales to still be strong. I wouldn't have thought they needed a sales injection.
RE: New Eldar? - manrogue - 16-04-2015
i think they just want to update everything to 7th, mainly the ones that sold well. Hence Eldar now, with Tau and Marines in pipeline.
Also 6th edition Eldar codex came out June 13, so just under 2 years old.
