Voidraven Bomber, Apocalypse: July



Falling in line with what we have had recently on the time frame for future releases: Eldar June, Apocalypse Junly, we have another set that has myself and all other Dark Eldar players drooling.


Of special note, is an explanation of what happened to a flyer release wave that just seemed to vanish into thin air.

Please remember that these are rumors.

So remember all that talk over the last year of that "flyer wave".  It looks like the new Games Workshop "ship everything we've got RIGHT NOW" release strategy made that wave unnecessary.

Apocalypse 2.0 Release
July according to the rumored GW 2013 Master Schedule

In particular, it looks like the Apoc slot will include the following on the miniatures side:

Dark Eldar Voidraven Bomber
Imperial Guard Hydra / Hydra-variant (hinted as toting Lascannons)
Imperial Guard Colossus/Bombard

and most importantly...
The dual-build Imperial / Chaos "Titanish-thingy" (bigger than a Baneblade - smaller than a Warhound).

I'm hoping its a newly invented Knight-sized machine.  In any case, I have doubts about that Plastic Thunderhawk (but I'd be first in line for one).
