Dark Eldar leaks *EDIT: actual codex leaks on page 5*

Yup, its AV11 (super tough by DE standards), follows the normal flyer rules under 6th/7th edition (which were printed in the DE book under "supersonic" special rules). Comes standard with 2 S9 AP2 lances, and a S9 AP2 small blast one-use bomb, that targets a single model it passes over in the movement phase and scatters D6".

It can also take missiles for a premium; 30 points a pop for large blast missiles that require a strength test or instant death, AP2.

That Archon looks sweet as fuck.

the picture of the bomber on the cover of WD has void lances (larger than normal dark lance looking things), but the model inside the magazine has those dissy cannon looking things (honestly, kind of look like Heavy Wraith Cannons from the wraithknight kit). So it at the very least has two different weapon options, one for anti tank and one for anti infantry. I'll likely be getting at least one, if for no other reason than to have an extra thing to sit in my closet with the wyches once I check out the rules.

Welp, the first round of info is flowing from people who have seen the books pre-emptively at GWs and warehouses across the US and Europe. One of the german blogs I read had some info on the new codex:

NO VECT in codex - this is a huge shocker
No Duke or Baron or Decapitator or Malys - as expected
No new units outside of what we're used to - as expected

Warlord traits are generic - better at combat, better at shooting, rerolls to hit, etc. Probably better off using the Strategic traits from the rule book still.

Beast packs have changed - min 12 models (of whatever type); chimeras are just demons now, so 5+ invuln. Flocks only have 3 attacks. Clawed fiend is cheaper.

Talos and Cronos engines can be taken in units of 1-3 and have FNP.

All vehicles can deep strike now.

Relics were vague - apparently a lot to do with limiting enemy psykers, and modifying leadership and forcing LD tests.

Webway portal is not placed on the table - lets the HQ and unit that takes it deep strike onto the table without deviating. Still 35 points.

Vehicle equipment is relatively the same - splinter racks, trophies, etc. Flickerfield is still in, and now we can give our vehicles stealth apparently as well (might be new version of night shields, translation was vague).

Some new weapons, but few and far between. Talos has a new option, S5 AP2 24" range small blast.

Voidraven was stated as being "very overpriced" but no point cost included.

Splinter Cannon is, as expected, 4/6 salvo. Shredder does not have mono-filament, but does have Shred.

The portion on combat drugs and power from pain was difficult to translate, but it sounds like the combat drugs were simplified - 6 options, each adding +1 to a stat. WS, BS, S, T, A, I. Still universal across all models with drugs.

Power from Pain still effects the same units it always has, and includes FNP, Furious Charge, Rage, Fearless, and (the source says) more. The source didn't explain how PfP is activated well - the translation didn't make sense.

So the real question here, is what do I do with my AWESOME duke conversion? Could pass as a (very) bland heamy I suppose...

*edit*.... so if this is accurate, what you're saying is that instead of half the drugs being a legit combat boost, and FnP (pain token) being another option.... now we can get a BS boost on Wyches?  I'd rather have the improved Run.  Sheesh.

Granted, that's not accounting for any (potential) point changes or anything.

Does this strike anyone as a bit early for a full leaked codex?  We're not even on the pre-order week yet.  Shrug.  Suspicions arise, as they always do in the Dark City.

Bummed about Vect... but honestly no one ever took him.  Horribly overpriced, and the Dias was worse.  Although he does technically have a (Dias) model.  Just, you know... Old. But so is Drazhar... hmmff.

Plus side, if Trueborn/Brides were upgrades, does that mean trueborn as troops?  Would free up Elites for Incubi/Mandrakes, assuming they act as competent assault units.
Also don't hate the idea of PfP becoming turn-based.  Still get FnP early enough to make a difference, and it would just hit everything, which is grand.  Although (probably) no more taking a Heamy as a token-buff for a unit that needs the early durability (of course, that puts Coven units in focus as "the durable ones" even more... not a bad call).

OH also, we don't necessarily know what options we have for drug re-rolls. So keep that in mind. Hell, we might have a situation where we actually get to choose a drug - imagine that, the wyches aren't just throwing random cocktails into their veins, but actually choosing what to get high on. No, that's crazy.
