Question Eldar Warwalker

What are you a bigger fan of, the old Eldar Warwalker, or the new one. I love the old one, actually bought one last Jan. The new one looks good, but the old one has a certain feel to it. I'm interested; what do you guys think?

personally i prefer the new one. i like the cockpit with windshield (?) rather than having the pilot just hanging from a harness, and the fact that it's plastic and posable is a bonus too.

I think in the old 40k rulebook it explains the warwalker has an energy shield around the cockpit, but I could be wrong.

oh, it has to be the new one by a huge margin - its so ***y, just like all the new elder plastics, though having said that the old one (like the old wraithlord and old 2nd edition carnifex) will always have a special place in my heart, since i loved those models when i started out

the new one by a mile! i like converting models, especially the bigger ones... plastic is simply so much easier to work with and at most it only requires a little bit of green stuff for potential gap-filling.
metal can usually require not only gap-filling, but pining + green stuff bonds to stop it falling apart!

not to mention the new one is also much easier to weapon-swap as you want!

cheers!

New one by a country mile-the old one looked like they ran out of ideas/materials when they got to the driver, the new one looks like a proper war machine!
