It certainly seems more Webway War than Spiders. Halies, Custodes and maybe necrons (although I would have put Deathwatch vs Necrons).

I don't think we will see more Eldar in a PA book, but that's not to say that Craftworlds 2.0 is not in the works so they can release the Banshees and a new kit(s) for other aspects. It was such a fail to hamstring them to the BotP box.

I tend to agree, sadly. But I'm wondering what units (or unit, really) they could release for that book. There has to be a miniature release, no matter how meagre, so what could it be?

I'd be all up for a Great Harlequin. Give the Harlies a more leader-y HQ choice.

IIRC, the Warp Spiders get their name from the crystalline spiders that inhabit and maintain the webway, whom are also called Warp Spiders.

So you could link them to whatever might happen/is happening in the webway.

The Warp Spider Aspect takes its name from the crystal spiders that protect the Infinity Circuits of craftworlds from hostile psychic intrusion. They swarm to attack any shred of non-Eldar energy that finds its way into the Infinity Circuit. These spiders are some form of psychic lifeform, as they create (and dissolve) their physical bodies using the psychoactive crystal structure of the craftworld.

There is a 0.0001% chance harlequins get anything but a name generator, custom masque traits, and a few stratagems tied to each specific unit doing a special thing.

MAYBE a special psychic power for each named masque. I expect minimal effort content for harlequins.

The sad thing is that even that meagre offering would still put them well above Dark Eldar in terms of what they got from PA.

I keep hoping that the Harlequins will get the Mime infiltrators that were introduced in the Citadel Journal 44, Death Jesters with alternate weapons, a warlock level Shadowseer, and a hero level Great Harlequin, but I know there’s only something like a 0.00001% chance of any of that happening.

in addition isn't the next book going to likely involve knights (both types?), mechancius and chaos demons?

hrm. ever since the title for Saga of the beast was announced, i called it. orks v space wolves.

Sanctuary 101 3 : The necrodermic horse strikes back?

I guess it could be Deathwatch vs Necrons.

Might also be Harlies vs Necrons, but that would leave Deathwatch vs Sisters, and that's weird.
I guess it could be a 2v1v1 between the imperials, eldar and necrons, which would be pretty cool.

...to make room for even more Primaris Marines to supplement their now even more flagging forces! Hurray! What a noble sacrifice.

Also, must they ask a question we all know the answer to as if the ink on the story wasn't already dry in our collective conscious? Yes, GW, the Space Wolves will stop the Orks from destroying the entire Imperium. We already know. It isn't suspenseful.
