Quote (darkone26 @ 09 2004 Feb.,18:24) | the mantas, as far as I was concerned were the next best thing to titans. ?There has been no mention of any other units that would take on the titans role, unless they introduce something as an update on Tau technology. | According to the Tau codex, Mantas are their closest equivalents to Titans.

Yes, that is the way I see it, too. The Manta is the Tau Titan equivalent ...

Well, there's a pic of the Revenant up on the SG website, and the 1.0 Ulthw? list is up along with an update for the Black Legion, Feral Orks, and Biel-Tann.
Revenant's pretty strange - looks like a cross between a Dire Avenger, a unit from Evangelion, a bit of Dark Eldar, and some Jedi style posing, with just a hint of the previous Revenant thrown in.

I think the new Revenant requires some time to getting used to. Looks like a nice detailed model but the pose is just so fundamentally different from the previous versions that it will probablt recieve quite a bit of flaming to begin with. I think I like it though...
Cheers!

I like it - but I'd like it better if WH40K didn't exist - in particular, Wraitghuard.
Ok, I'm being unclear : it looks a lot like a WH40k figure used in an Epic game, a bit like an Exarch, or a Wraithguard with a new set of weapons. It's a nice model, but looks a bit out of place: I think it's the head - it looks too WH40K-scale.

Regardless, the head and legs look like they could be 40k figures. It's not really a bad thing, AFAIK, and helps to set apart the Eldar from the Humans and the Orks, but it will take some getting used to.

Ah excellent.... looks great in my opinion! I can see your point Vanvlak, but it looks nicely detailed and very dynamic. I'd like to see some more angles before I pass final judgement on it; but a pretty easy way of making it less 40k-ish would be to fill the visor with green stuff and file it smooth- I'll consider doing this when I get a few for my Eldar....

Your head idea (or a total replacement with a n old Titan head - if you have one, that is) should work. Ork D, I agree that it looks terribly (but not terrible as in ugly) Manga/Anime, but for me it's the head of this model which first draws my eye, and this says 'WH40K Eldar'. A painted model might of course look different. Then again, this has it's possibilities. Check out the price of a box of WH40K plastic Guardians; check the (future) cost of the Revenants. Think what you could do with around 16 Revenants; it's not an overwhelmingly difficult conversion. And Eldrad's your uncle!

the figure certainly look like an upsized humanoid; thus the "wrong scale" feeling. but it matches Jes goowin sketches quite greatly, and in fact it remind me a lot of the old Eldar knight range; the mini have both wonderfull pose ( very dynamic) and details, i assume everyone will like it once we get used to it; and all the more so if the Phantom/Warlord get the same "design". After all, Eldar titans are made of Wraithbone and are almost upsized wraithguard, baring the crew (they have quite a bit of their own "spirit" too). I must say i was somewhat surprised but i like it quite much.

OK, I know I must be the worlds slowest dork right now, but I still can not find the picture.
Please, please, please, please post a link or tell me where on the SG site it is.

OK, now I have seen the picture. First I am going to say "Eaewww".
The sad thing is I like the model for some kind of Eldar Special Forces guy or some thing. It does not look Epic in scale to me at all, further it seems to be a major shift in the overall Eldar look. This combined with the Tau seem to suggest a major Anime feel to some of their races.
I think I will stick to my "Old School" originals for now.
