i think it\'s a poor concept, very static position and IMHO horrible wings and helm (he seems a boiled fish with the mouth wide oopen)

hate the mask like the wings

i think the eldar wings are some of the best pieces gw have made these arent as good but are still cool

Its an Eldar... standing on a rock... it looks very Eldary and will fit in well with the rest of the range. I dont think it would look as good if it was backflipping across the gaming table. I also think it is plastic and VERY multi-part so you wouldnt need to use hte helmet if you didnt want to, and could combine it with other plastic eldar parts to make it more dynamic ;)

Should be ok if you like the Eldar

:beer:

The wings are elegant enough to fit with an eldar but the sculpt really is way too staric and bulky IMHO.
I love Eldar, but I really don\'t like this at all!:(

But I think it is based on standard eldar guardian plastics, so it cant be that much bulkier...

It\'s one of the new Autarch models (saw it in person)... it won\'t be in plastic (All 3 Autarchs are reportedly going to be cast in metal).
Banshee mask and Swooping hawk wings is an interesting concept, but not one I\'d game with.
I\'ll be looking for one of the other two Autarchs.

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. Half a dozen themes all crammed into 1 mini. The pose is bad. The helm looks silly, as do the wings. The cape seems to have been added simply because all characters need to have capes.

Some very nice minis on this thread http://www.minipainters.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=876&hl=

(except the reaper exarch and the guy you\'ve posted here). Nice scorpions, dragons, banshees. Can\'t wait to see the rest, Eldar were my first army, I might re-visit them.

Are you sure? I heard that it will be like the space marine commander - plastic multipart mini with all the codex upgrades and accessories on the sprue...

If I recall Gav Thorpe\'s seminar correctly (he was a little hoarse and difficult to understand at times), the Autarchs are in metal, yet easily convertable (I suppose, as far as converting metal is concerned). I doubt they\'ll be one-piece models. Most likely the wings are removable on this one. Possibly the power-sword arm is removable.
But I\'ll be honest, I\'m only 80% sure they\'ll be in metal... there\'s always that 20% uncertainty that could prove me wrong.

ooOOooo! Nice link Dammekkos!
This is the first time i\'ve seen most of those mini\'s and I think an Eldar army re-Incarnation is very much in order here!!!
Well it cirtainly looks like the Plastic/Metal debate is sorted cuz It deffinately looks plastic to me :D
I reckon the Banshee Exarch has to be a top contender for Fave spot for me!

Interesting. A rant about GW, like this one, gets nothing but ridicule and derisiveness, but rant and provide a picture like in this thread and it suddenly becomes a valid discussion.

Quite enlightening.

Anyway, the \"unique variant\" mentioned in the army box would imply that the autarchs are metal.

I suspect that those are resin casts from the master, not assembled plastics.........it\'s not really possible to confirm plastics/metal with GW\'s current production methods............

This guy certainly does look very static - not necessarily a bad thing; things do stand still for a couple of minutes, even in the 40K universe!!!!
