It is now less than 5 weeks away from the first Saturday in June, likely the release date for much of the Spearhead product. This means that some or all of the Spearhead major releases should appear on the Warhammer 40,000 Advanced Order page on the GW website any day now.

I've already checked today and saw nothing yet, but I'll be checking it every day from now on with the release date drawing so close and others might want to do the same. Soon we'll have full pics and info on the GW site.

Word is they go up the 10th. One more week.

Yes, as said and has been ignored several times before, GW Amsterdam has said that the models will go online the 10th, so next Monday.

Everyone just has you on ignore. It's your constant flaming and trolling. And your Dark Eldar denial-ism.

I think you are confusing me with some other people here. I may be very annoying, but DE denial? My word! I'm not John!

And who's got actual pics of new DE stuff? Anyone???

Shouts out to Mr. Lorizael from 40Konline for these :

Ooh shiny! ... Oh hang on, that's the camera flash

Eldar sprues it has to be said are always very boring. Where are the fun details like the skull on top of the gear stick on the Ork Trukk sprue?

EDIT - I appreciate Eldar probably won't have skull gear sticks (or gear sticks full stop for that matter), I'd just like to see some extra stuff on their sprues aside from the necessary parts.

Nice, thank you!

It looks like the Fire Prism crystal will have a smaller, clear plastic crystal inside the larger crystal. That's cool, I did think the outer crystal looked a little artificial.

Does anyone know if the opaque 'ribs' around the outer clear crystal have 3 parts that interlock together, or did they just stick 3 halves in there for no good reason? One half built into the cannon and two halves seperate above it on the sprue?

Eldar are nice, but where are the Imperial tanks?

I really like how much easier it will be to do the tracery for the crystals!

Also, I second BrookM. I want to see the real tanks.

Huh... ok... so it does have clear plastic crystals. Didn't think they'd go that route.

For the greater good... moar plastic frames we demand!

I'm personally not a fan of clear pastic other than canopy bits. I loathe the necron bits.

But it can all still be painted over.

I second the change for ease of painting over the clear plastic. Very nice addition.

Looks like some extra pieces of kit to represent some various vehicle upgrades and an underslung Shuriken Cannon.

Now if I could just get those sprues to put on top of the three existing fire prisms that I have.

Very nice looking sprue but there's some big areas of empty space there, what happened to making the most of every mould. :p

I don't care for the Night spinner, it looks too conventional with the weapons mounted in the turret like that. I much prefer the wacky looking ones seen on the Epic models and on the Forgeworld release where they are mounted overhead. The prism also looks more conventional whereas the previous one had a huge crystal as the focal point this has it within a long gun so the effect is somewhat spoiled.

If I were to have this tank, I'd be sticking the 'tip' crystal to the main crystal and ignoring the long barrel that makes it look too much like all the lance weaponry for my tastes.

I can't wait to see what the usual suspects manage to do in terms of lighting these things up!

Those damn Eldar and their lack of love for all things skull and spike related!

Still, it does seem like more a lost opportunity to provide some cool extras...

Looks like I was right; the smaller, one-piece crystal is put at the very tip of the weapon.

Already getting ideas to turn that turret into a skimmer

Or lit up with LEDs! BWHAHAHAHA!

All hail the Rave Prism!

Doh, of course! It's for putting on the tip of the barrel, not inside the other crystal.

Back to my original plan of making a jagged crystal out of corkboard to put inside the clear focusing crystal then...

THx for the sprue, tho I still like the classic Epic-style Prism!

Here is a commented sprue pic by Absolutionis over at Warseer. Interesting part is that the Fire Prism has options for a short and a long barrel. ( Edit: Sorry, no 2 options, only 3 parts for the long barrel)

Nice the spinner is very cool

2nd that. Not sure what, exactly. But a different look to the vyper comes to mind.

Yep, here's hoping that 1 - it won't be $50 and 2 - you can get the sprue separate!

1) It probably will be, or close to it!

2) Doubtful, at least for a long, long time!
