We’ve acquired the Aeldari Phoenix Lords for Warhammer 40,000 constructed and within the studio! Let’s take a more in-depth take a look at them collectively.
The Aeldari Codex is releasing proper across the nook and they’re going up for pre-order this weekend. Video games Workshop despatched us among the miniature and we’re going to be looking at them of their naked plastic kind proper now. This one is sort of pic-heavy so let’s dive in.
Asurmen – Dire Avengers
Fittingly, up first we now have Asurmen. Whereas his Dire Avengers have been in plastic for what looks like an eternity, his new plastic package is lastly arriving. Personally, I actually like this replace fairly a bit. Whereas it’s not tremendous flashy it’s a good up-scale of the earlier miniature. Plus it’s acquired quite a lot of name backs to the previous metallic model and I recognize nod to a basic.
Baharroth – Swooping Hawks
Okay, full disclosure: I’ve by no means been a fan of the Swooping Hawks. I do know, I do know. It’s simply they by no means actually impressed me with the foundations. However now? Nicely I believe that the fashions look nice. Baharroth acquired fairly the glow-up and he’s dropping in similtaneously his unit’s plastic package. This looks like an ideal 1-2 combo should you’re available in the market for including the Swooping Hawks to your Aeldari assortment…like I’m contemplating myself!
Plastic Swooping Hawks
I do like the brand new Swooping Hawks as nicely. I simply form of want they weren’t all on these “tactical ruins.” However hey, I’ll take these over flight stands any day of the week. Their redesign is good and I believe the group at giant goes to have quite a lot of enjoyable with this unit once they get their fingers on them.
Fuegan – Hearth Dragons
Fuegan and the Hearth Dragons feels like my highschool band identify. Regardless, I nonetheless suppose that is one other glorious glow-up. I’ve been an enormous fan of Fuegan and the Hearth Dragons for a very long time and their metallic fashions have served me nicely. However I’m trying ahead to swapping over to plastic. As soon as once more, I additionally love all of the call-outs to his previous mannequin. I additionally actually like his banner and suppose that’s going to convey quite a lot of character to the mannequin as soon as it’s painted.

I believe the plastic replace for the Hearth Dragons is a house run. They’re principally in the identical poses because the metallic variations solely barely bigger and in plastic now. Which I don’t thoughts one bit! What I wrote about Fuegan applies to those miniatures, too. Nicely completed GW. I can’t wait to drop them out of a Wave Serpent and unleash dragon’s hearth on all the pieces and everybody within the countryside.
Lyhkhis – Warp Spiders
That is actually the primary “new” miniature from this batch. Lyhkhis is a very new design when it comes to character. I believe GW captured the essence of the Warp Spider and turned that into an applicable Phoenix Lord. She’s been a very long time coming and now she’s right here. I believe that is going to be a very fashionable package with the revamped Warp Spiders, too.
Plastic Warp Spider
The brand new Warp Spiders in plastic are lastly attributable to arrive! They give the impression of being loads just like the metallic package — however simply in plastic now. Plus they’ve extra tubing and particulars. I like the additional doodads GW added and the warp lightning addons are neat. Once more, GW nailed it with this replace.
With all these kits I’m excited for the Aeldari wave. I’ll say that when you’ve got the previous metallic variations you must 100% preserve utilizing them in order for you. Nonetheless, should you’re like me, you most likely painted them YEARS in the past and have most likely improved fairly a bit in your personal portray talent (I do know I’ve). So I’m trying ahead to those just because it affords me the chance to replace my military with some contemporary paint jobs and new sculpts. However you do you!
