First, as quoted above, it is about the Spearhead releases in June, accompanied by rules and stuff in WD #366 (and supported by the website). The GW text confirms several new IG tanks and several new Eldar plastic kits, including a new tank. So they are not Apocalypse releases.

Daemon Prince Adramalech added the following cryptic vision:

Daemon Prince Adramalech wrote:The veil parts...

Through the mists the daemon spies a great battle raging on the surface of a long forgotten world. The hammer of the Corpse God is being wielded against the bright soul sparks of an ancient race much coveted by one of his kind. Missile after missile streak over head, launched from the humans crude mechanical workhorses. Tanks in the shape of wolves hurtle across the battlefield of every type imaginable.

Across the battlefield graceful tanks float unhindered across the carnage, some with shining crystal shards, pulsing with energy, destroying tanks with every flicker. Others unleashing a black morass, slicing humans to pieces with every burst. To the south a group of bright soul sparks fire a weapon that hits one of the wulfen tanks with a screech born not of this realm. A hole opens and the tank folds down as if being crushed and disapears into the baleful glow of the portal, the lesser daemons feed well on the pitiful human sparks contained within the metal beast.

As the battle rages the daemon draws back sensing that it will soon reach its zenith. The sky turns red as if the clouds themselves are a flame, the daemon sees a brief glimpse of a missile larger than any that has come before. As the fiery clouds part the bright soul sparks flicker in fear, the corpse god has sent them a gift...

The vision fades, the veil draws close....the daemon smiles.


People familiar with Eldar and Imperial background concluded the following
1.) "Hammer of the Corpse God" = IG vs. "bright soul sparks of an ancient race" = Eldar
2.) Manticore, maybe including variants like Deathstrike ("Missile after missile")
3.) Leman Russ, much expected ("Tanks in the shape of wolves")
4.) Full plastic Fire Prism tank ("shining crystal shards")
5.) Night Spinner, new tank, maybe combined with Fire Prism tank kit ("black morass, slicing humans to pieces")
6.) Eldar heavy weapon platform with a.o. a D-cannon ("A hole opens and the tank folds down")
7.) Deathstrike Missile, see Manticore entry ("missile larger than any")

Summary: One Manticore/DeathStrike (/Hydra? probably not) kit, one Leman Russ recut, one Fire Prism/Night Spinner kit plus one Eldar heavy weapon platform kit, all 4 fully plastic. According to BramGaunt, all tank kits are priced like the Demolisher.

Short reminder: Deathstrike missile was originally launched by a Chimera chassis:

The Eldar superheavy talk in that thread was just a misinterpretation of "2 Eldar tanks a tad bigger than a Predator" (= Falcon hull). Some people still hope for plastic Wraith Guard and Jetbike releases, no evidence yet on their release. Anyway, Daemon Prince Adramalech adds:

Heh i've redone my entire Eldar army purely for whats coming in the next 8 months.
(...)Heh that would be telling but everything is mechanised now for a start :-)

BTW Daemon Prince Adramalech also strongly hints at Grey Knights being the SM release in autumn.
