I'm looking at the new rules and liking them a lot. I've got around a dozen OLD Rogue Trader ish models and am looking to figure out what the weapons are on them. The Kiss and Shuriken Pistols are obvious enough, anyone with old school cred able to tell me what all else I'm looking at? There's sort of a power fist looking deal which could be Caress, and a couple of odd looking pistol/machineguns. Anyone?

One of the problems is that in the old RT days, everyone used the same gear. Some races just favored certain things.



Top row middle guy the odd gun is a webber
Second row, first guy has a hand flamer
Bottom middle, the crystal looking one is a neural disruptor.

Everything else should be recognizable. Mostly las/shur pistols, power weapons, etc.

I had this boxed set. Loved it. Seems it got lost in one of my moves. Gutted :(

I always liked the Solitare with the Lightning Claw.

I actually played a game with those exact minis tonight, they got mauled, target number one.

Good call, Azreal and Nevelon. Well deserved naps to you both! Found a couple of numbered pics. In the first I have 1, 4, 5, 2X6, 7,8,10,12, and 14. In the second I have 2X430605, 2X430609, also one that looks like 430606 but with a chainsword which I'm guessing is an old Eldar named character which I have a fair few of. I also have a later gen High Avatar evidently. I'd forgotten to look for box backs. I may call the fists Caress, maybe the lightning claw could stand in for an Embrace. Also, was lucky enough to score a metal Harlequin Jetbike in a bits bin as well as a second front plate for another.

It looks like Harlequins will get a 'two-rider jetbike'

The bikes themselves are stunning, they look larger (actually longer) than the existing eldar / DE jetbikes. There are two riders on each : one driver and another harlequin standing at the back.

I didn't have time to see much more, sorry... But from what I saw, they look splendid!

There is also a blurry, heavily-cut photo of it


I found it on B&C

FFS.. Someone get a proper image. Not some gakky blurred crap lol.

Seriously, this stuff is quickly turning into UFO sightings.

Crappy image, but confirms the idea. Which is damn cool, I reckon! I imagine they will be 3-a-box at Ravenwing CS (£33) prices, which would be too much for me.

I know. Next thing we'll get is a blurred image of the Loch Ness monster or Sasquatch and that'll count as a leaked image..

Are we sure these are actually JETBIKES and not a Venomesque transport...?

This is turning out better and better. I haven't been interested in 40k for ages.

It's not blurred, it's just artifact from being zoomed up so much from the original resolution. It's like 50 pixels across normally, and probably meant to be the little button for the WD Blog on the website.

Nono. A proper rumour has crappy pics. Crappier the pics, more street cred for the rumour.

It really is a huge thing to see GW think out of the box(Imperium).

Anyone think those new jetbikes are actually chariots. The setup on the blurry pic indicate it.
Then, perhaps, a shadow weaver on chariot for HQ?

Blurry earthquake photos are so last year. New leaks have to to let us SEE the pixels. All 20 of them.

And they need to be in grayscale.

Those were just avant garde photos to fit with the Harli theme.

When the colour ones did come out they were the terrible, badly lit, odd angled, weirdly cropped photos we're used to. Personally I blame society - we've all collectively become worse at taking photos now that there are more cameras in the world than there were 10 years ago.

I presume it's similar to the "Speed Force" in DC comics - the more people use it, the less power each person can draw (it's to do with the DC hero the Flash... and cameras have a flash... coincidence? I think not!). So the "Photo Force", when we had actual film and cameras were expensive, meant that photos were a big deal. Disposable cameras were the first time the "Photo Force" found itself depleted, and now with everyone having a mobile phone (or more than one), that power to take good photos has been further depleted. Thus, the "selfie" is the most destructive force on Earth.

Half Life 3 confirmed.

It seems the Harlequin bikers fight like in those Kaneda's vs Clown Gang battle scenes in Akira

I know chariots would seem to follow trend but wouldn't it be awesome to see rules that turn each bike into a single man transport.

Total Road Warrior style...

Chariot? It will be santa claus Logan's sled pulled by lizards instead of wolves?

Talking about abbreviations, how about Insane Clown Pose (ICP)

"Fething flip belts, how do they work?"

Here I was hoping that GW would use this as an opportunity to update the Eldar's antiquated jetbikes by giving us a dual Craftworld Eldar/Harlequin jetbike kit. Looks like I was wrong on that prediction.

Not necessarily, we have separate rumours about bikes and a transport and nothing definitive saying what the latest leak is.

bikes could also end up being similar to the Falcon/Serpent?Prisim kits too.

Well, they wouldn't be bikes then, more tanks/transports...

From Nikolas94 on Warseer, author of the l'Astropate blog, a small pic of next month's Visions mag



I partly disagree with his description though. It looks to be
- Skyweaver Jetbikes in the back and on the left side, rider and passenger in a row, the latter armed with a cc weapon ready to strike
- Starweaver transport/heavy support vehicle on the right side, Vyper chassis-shape but larger, with a turret or passenger compartment behind two riders sitting in the cockpit next to each other
- He is totally right with the Deathjester, new model
