This week's releases include the Dark Eldar codex and two special editions, the featured Voidraven Bomber, two new combination kits of a Raider and either Wyches or Warriors, Dark Eldar Datacards, and a Dark Eldar Painting Guide.
One interesting note for me was that the datacards include Combat Drugs and not Power from Pain results, which is what I would have guessed. From the short blurbs, it sounds like Power from Pain is still in the codex, and possibly even more potent than before.
This week's White Dwarf includes a sizeable battle report between Dark Eldar and Astra Militarum. In the battle report, a mention is made of Power from Pain which makes it sound like the effects are army-wide, with bonuses to units near Haemonculi or Urien Rakarth.
Paint splatter shows some of how the GW team painted their edge-lined Dark eldar, as well as the bronze weapons, silvered metal, and the Wraithbone voidmine. There are also a couple that show how parts of the Realm of Battle boards to create some interest.
Next up is the Designer's Notes on the new Voidraven. I really like the profile, particularly the nose, which is pointed out as intentionally being very beak-like.
The remainder of this issue includes some of the regular single page blips and blurbs, though one is a pretty cool exocrine conversion, where the gun is emerging from a Haruspex-based mouth. There's also a quick, somewhat humerous look at some Dark Eldar weaponry.
