Dark Eldar Second Wave

Sorry for the gap in posting, but life hasn't been particularly kind to me over the last few weeks.  Yet, I'm back now with notice that GW has already put "Second Wave" material for the new Dark Eldar up on Advanced Order.  It includes Hellions, Ravager, Mandrakes, and Urien Rakarth.  Here are the pictures (click to be taken to the appropriate advanced order page):

All of these keep with the previous decision to stay with the same old Dark Eldar look, just done a lot better.  I've already related how I find the choice a bit disappointing, but I can't deny that the new models are nevertheless impressive. I find the new Urien figure especially wicked.  Even if I never play Dark Eldar I am going to have to come up with some excuse -- Warhammer, role-playing, whatever -- to paint him up.

Also up for advanced order is a "new" monster figure case meant for your biggest models -- the example they give is an Ork Stompa.  Frankly, I think buying one $83 case for a single figure that can already be transported by itself fairly easily to be something of a waste of resources, but if you are a gamer who already has "everything".....
