I see that GW still hasn’t updated the swooping hawk or warp spiders from second edition there just casting them in resin now instead of white metal, the hawks aren’t too bad but the spiders are god awful and really need an update to there models. As for the reapers I think I liked the old models better ied have to fish out my old army from third Ed, the scorpion are a big improvement same for the rangers (ied have loved a full army of rangers but they were just to easy to sweep off the board) the Phoenix lords are still using the same second Ed models but there really well modelled so it’s not a problem, I do miss GW at times but disability and the models been so dam pricey is a one two whammy for putting me off coming back.

Loved elder when I was younger got back into 40k after almost 10 years and I refuse to buy any aspect warriors I have some wonky metal ones but they’re all terrible finecast now. I love the overall design of them but they’re getting so old and need better kits and detail like the majority of the range. The tanks don’t have great fit putting them together but it can be done, the vipers are awful when you look at the harlequins starweavers that I use for the vipers now. A lot of the newer kits like the jet bikes, farseer and wraithblades are so much better in every way but the basics of the eldar like the aspect warriors and even simple guardians are getting old and with the space marines constantly getting new primaries it’s so unbelievably disappointing. I now have just a whole load of wraithblades, 6 wraithlords (including kitbashed wraithseer using plastic kits) and 3 wraith knights because that’s almost all I like the look of and they’re all that’s enjoyable to make. To sum up my love of eldar is falling apart I’m pretty sure people will hate me for only having wraith constructs and I just want updates to the simple things for every race with ageing sculpts but it’s always new marines. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Edit: to add my favourite eldar sculpt is an old metal farseer that is probably older than I am and I have the warlocks that are available now but in metal.

One other thing this video reminded me was that when I did models of this vintage I tended to cut down or if possible cut off entirely the cloaks or robes and replace with starched cloth, which looked so much better, especially with the thicker metal kits. The banner poles tended to go into the bin! Such things should not be cast, they never have enough strength without being told thick, i would usually use brass rod of a much finer thickness with the paper banners coated in pva which solidified them and stopped them breaking.

How many releases would it take for GW to actually update the Eldar Phoenix lords? Normally there is only 1 or 2 named characters in a box, if aspects and their PL get remade I wonder how GW would actually sell it. Even the Necrons didn't get all their named characters in plastic yet. Necrons got a lot of new love, which they needed, but didn't get everything they had remade (only about 3-4 units). Now Imagine the Eldar, with their plethora of HQ units. Eldar has 6 Phoenix Lords that require Jain Zar level attention, 3 named characters in finecast (one being the Avatar of Khaine), and Warlocks on foot (an HQ unit that can be brought in a squad, please sell them in a box of 5 GW). For a whooping total of 10 HQ units. Finecast/metal kits for other non-HQ units total to 7 (most aspects, and rangers) and that's not accounting for old kits like Guardians (need update) and Dire Avengers (Look fine imo). I just can't even begin to imagine the Box. But the new Banshee's and Jain Zar look great. Banshee's got Helmet/head options, and 5 different poses. Jain Zar equally looks amazing.If models are anything to go by, they will at least look great. A box I can imagine, would be the Avatar of Khaine (unless they remake him into a Void Dragon Model) and maybe some warlocks leading remade Guardians, Striking Scorpions, Warp Spiders/Shining Spears, and Dark Reapers. Everything else would need to be a Second wave similar to the current releases by GW. And no new units, just all remastered ones.

Spiders definitely need an update, drop the massive gun and give all of them twin spinners from the exarch, and some cool phasing poses, buff their rules a little and they'd be the business.

And the rest of the Phoenix Lords.

It could take one or two years or longer if they are not focused on making more Space Marines and AoS models beacuse they need the sculptors to redesign the old models.

The helmets of the Dark Reapers don't work for me and the Striking Scorpions appear hunched and often seem to be missing their necks. I'm yet to really work out what's going on with the Warp Spiders so I'm not sure what's going on with them. On the whole though it's a crying shame that so few Aspect Warriors have modern plastic kits, they always felt like they should be the core of an Eldar army to me. The thing you're worried you missed from the range review - is it perchance the Fire Dragons? I don't recall them being covered in this video or the previous one.

Having the same pose for models in a squad is acceptable in a squad of 10; two groups of 5 you can forgive some identical sculpts. But an identical sculpt in a group of 5 or less is just a piss poor effort; like something from a cheap Easy to Build kit. Embarassing for a full priced squad like Swooping Hawks; if you buy a squad of ten you'll have at best, one twin sculpt, one triplet sculpt and one quadruplet sculpt. It looks way worse than having twinned body pose with different arms for Arco-Flaggelants. Eldar Aspect Warriors desperately need an update. They needed one 10 years ago.

I like Sweeping Hawks a lot over all but do agree they are too skinny especially considering they are wearing armor. And the Striking Scorpions I think are supposed to be kind of squatting with their legs apart because they are a sneaky ambush unit.

Some of the older models look like they just need the more refined finese of the more modern plastic moulding process and tweaks. Others... sorry, but some of the others should have been removed from the range 10 years ago probably. There really shouldn't be any resin or metal models outside of forgeworld really, that should really be the focus for gw as it would make production cheaper, but need a lot of up front investment. when you consider the tooling costs for plastic injection moulding (can easily get into the £100k range per tool), it kinda explains why newer plastic kits feel so much more expensive as these days companies prefer to get those tooling costs back in first couple of batches rather than in the past multiple batches over a few years. It drives more profits quicker, which shareholders demand these days (in reality they're the most important rather than the customer in todays market for most companies). This is true pretty much for all the various modelling disciplines from miniatures to airfix planes to tank and even model railways (though they are unique in a number of ways for obvious reasons, but the plastic costs above still apply ).
