Somehow I doubt that.

I guess it's a good thing I kept those old metal rangers. Only elder unit I own.

But wasn't GW supposed to be moving away from finecaste and towards plastic?

Yeah, but as of this point we don't know what will be happening.

There is so much Finecast for the Eldar model range that you could throw a dart at a board with every unit pictured and have a decent chance of 'predicting' it correctly.

And a redirect for Warlocks on Skyrunners:
http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/eldar-warlock-skyrunner

I think the flame in the darkness could also be a reference to the fact that as Yariel leaves the shrine of asurman(I think) the flame that has been out since the tyranid attack burst back into light.

Sort of a precursor to the eldar rising.

Could this be plastic jetbikes!? After all these years?

So by taking the good info from Darnok, Lords of Wargaming, Sad Panda, Atia and Redemption into account

Next Saturday - Products going preorder:
Codex Eldar: Craftworlds
Datacards
Jetbikes/Shining Spears
Autarch/Farseer/Warlock (on Jetbike/Chariot?)
Several webshop-only bundles

Assuming this is again a 1 week affair - which would be on par with Sad Panda's rumor about a Necron-like release (they had one week in January) - quite a few long-time wishes will come true this Saturday

I found the fluff for Skyrunners...
They are briefly mentioned in Path Of The Eldar.

Apparently they are short-range craftworld equivalents to.... SmartCars.

Like the Epic Jetbike Farseers of old? Sounds neat

I just want the shield fixed. The rest of the book is super solid when you don't have serpent spam. Looking foward to seeing what they get

and made in failcast ..sure the look grate on the GW site but this is hoe they look in reality

Yes, because the metal models never bent either?

I want scans....NOW!

As he has a brand new model, I very much doubt he would get removed. Why would he need a nerf though? I wasn't under the impression he was overpowered in any way. I've never even seen anyone field him.

I'm in agreement with Kan- Illic, like most other Finecast, is already Direct-only, and the rumors that all of Finecast is out the door soon seem to be matching up. He'll probably still be mentioned in the fluff as some sort of consolation prize, but I think Eldar might see a culling that leaves the Dark Eldar players saying "phew!" by comparison to their losses.

I will say that if they really are releasing plastic Rangers/Pathfinders?

I could see him either getting a plastic clamshell OR being able to be built out of the box.

That's a good point. Have we have any Nork Deddog-esque kits since the most recent IG codex? I thought that was an effective way of integrating special characters into kits without being that expensive.

Skulltaker and Flesh Hounds of Khorne and such are also web exclusive finecast models. They were still included in Codex: Khorne Daemonkin.

This is also true. Hmm, well I suppose if Finecast is going away, it's going to take some time. I wonder if certain Finecast kits are more reliably produced, and if that impacts what gets done sooner than later.

Unfortunately, no. I'm really surprised, Badrukk would have been a great inclusion in the otherwise empty Flash Gits box.

Preorder list with prices

Felwether - Warseer

Windriders (€33) and the Farseer Skyrunner (€26) are definitely separate kits. There's also an Autarch (€21), cards and the codex (€46).
[...]
I'd guess, based on the price, that the Autarch is on foot, yes.
[...]
Just to clarify - the Farseer Skyrunner and the Autarch were two separate entries on the list I've seen.

Actually they did, just not really for 40k.

The Dark Elf Executioner/Black Guard kits effectively have the parts to build Tullaris Dreadbringer and Kouran Darkhand.
The Dark Elf Cauldron of Blood has Hellebron as an option instead of the standard Hag.

I really hope they aren't releasing another full codex already!
Has anyone confirmed that it's just a supplement yet?

When the Blood Angels release was a week or so away, the Sanguinary Guard kit was removed from the website. Only to reappear after the other products were released.
My point being; don't assume that all of the products that have gone walkabout will be replaced.

I'm hoping for:

New Jetbikes - Surely this is likely since they already have an eldar jetbike sculpt in the form of the skyweavers.

New Vyper / Light Transport - Also possible as the venom has been Craftworldified for the Harlequins. Although I doubt this will happen.

Me and my GF were having this discussion yesterday. I think the best ways to fix Serpent Shields would be to either reduce the range, OR take away Ignores Cover, OR make Serpent Shields a ~15 point upgrade. GW however will probably either do all three and nerf it to all hell, or let the Serpent go unchecked.

GW dont do new finecast no more .. and the shining spears are no longer on the site

I heard as well that the spears and autarch are direct only and fine cast as well.

I can see direct only, but not finecast, given both kits already exist in finecast

New Finecast?

I wonder if GW will ever do fake redirects, just to fool the community? I was hoping for that on the first...

Do you really reckon GW know people use the redirects to find out what's coming?

I want scaaaaaans come on people! Don't dally!

The ones who read dakka or other news/rumor sites (probably quite a few) would know, but to get that info to the management and then down to tech is another matter. Also, I don't think they care, it builds hype and may even be beneficial.

What's with all the fake redirects? Are people really falling for that?

OMG! New leaked model!
