So I was doing what I do; surfing the high seas of Warhammer 40k forums and watching pron, I came across two rumors that when formed like Voltron might equal truth. As we know from Warseer and BoLS there is a fluffy reference in Planetstrike about “Khaine-worshipping Dark Eldar”.
Suddenly I remembered a week before; a poster on Librarium Online heard from a GW store manager, that has a sister, that is dating Hank Edley of Adepticon, that knows a school mate of Phil Kelly of GW that said, “Dark Eldar Avatar and Harlequins are in the upcoming Codex”. Now, when I first read the rumor I did not put much stock into, because it came from the mouth of GW store manager, which are just as reliable as Amy Winehouse attempts at sobriety. With the little Planetstrike tidbit, that GW manager might not have his head that far up his ass after all.
This is all highly speculative, still lets take a journey to Dark Eldar fantasy land or a second…
Avatar how will it be different: Lance Weapon instead of Melta Sword? Immune to Poison? Give Fearless? Will the Avatar change the force organization of your some unit since that is GW flavor for 5th edition?
Harlequins: Solitaire! killer assassin? Will GW just copy and paste from the Eldar codex or expand enough for some full Harlequin army action?
Whatever happens maybe the sculpt for the new Avatar will look something like this…
