Dunkelelfen Blutkessel??

Ich habe von einem GW-Mitarbeiter in Darmsadt gehört, dass er auf irgend einem Bild eines Golden-Daemon Modells im Hintergrund ein eventuellen neue Blutkessel gesehen hat.
Er war wohl nicht ganz deutlich zu erkennen (wichtig auf dem Bild war eigentlich ja das Modell im Vordergrund, das aber keinen mehr interessierte) und sorgte für zahlreiche Spekulationen. Leider konnte ich das Bild noch nicht finden, aber vielleicht hat ja jemand etwas davon gehört?

der Mitarbeiter sagte auch, dass es in einem Forum eine Diskussion darüber gab, offenbar nicht in diesem hier.
Das war übrigens der dritte Mitarbeiter, den ich gefragt hatte, ob neue Modelle für DE heraus bekommen, der erste hat nur gelacht (was wohl als "eher nicht") zu deuten war, der andere hat gemeint, dass nichts in Planung sei.

hab aber gerade auf: http://www.warseer.com/rumours/warhammer_fantasy_rumours

das hier gefunden:

Dark Elves second wave minis
Avian 31/03/2009 - 14:33
There is supposedly a second wave of Dark Elf miniatures out. It is not known exactly when, but second waves tend to be a year or so after the initial army release. This places it at late 2009 at the earliest, but probably more likely some time early 2010.

There has been nothing definite on what it may contain, though there is a lot of speculation on new plastics. Top candidates for being turned into plastic are:

1) Core units - i.e. Dark Riders and Harpies. Warriors / Crossbowmen are less likely to get redone as the DE still don't have a lot of plastics and ATM GW seem more concerned with turning metal units into plastics than updating old plastics, especially if you get all the unit's options in the box already

2) Units that feature the old style Cold Ones - i.e. the Chariots

3) Units with a lot of components, or a lot of metal in general - i.e. the Bolt Throwers or Cauldron of Blood (or, again, the Chariots)

There might also be more metals, for models for the ones that have no current model (Kouran, Tullaris, Hellebron), or a redo of existing ones, for example a new Malus since he also has an old-style Cold One.

It's worth noting that so far no second (or later) wave has just contained new Cores, so there is hope for something big and impressive. They have also always contained one or more new character models.

A rumour suggesting new Harpies, Chariots and Dark Riders

We are looking at plastic Harpies (10 for £12 my guess), plastic Cold One Chariots (1 for £12 or £15 my guess, since high elves is £15 but makes 2 variants), plastic dark riders (5 for £12 for sure) and then the rest is guesswork.

Plastic shades is likely, or at least metal resculpts
More special characters, like Crone for example, and a new manticore?
A new Malekith and Dragon is wanted, especially Mally on foot!

The rumours lead to Harpies, Chariots, Dark Riders, Crone & maybe Shades. Anything else is just wanting and dreaming, though it would be nice additions.

That said, White Dwarfs recent Standard Bearer article said by 10 years time they aim to have every single unit and character in plastic, and only the special characters to remain in metal sculpts. If that is the case, we may be looking at plastic Black Guard, Witch Elves and Executioners within the decade.
