still not shure about the prism, but the spinner I like

I like the new prism better than the old. I didn't buy it because I didn't like the model, but I will get the new one.

Fire prism is different... but still cool looking to me, honestly I dont care if they put a donkey on the end of the cannon.. ITS PLASTIC so its like 1000x better already

i could see people buying the new prism but simply leaving off the boom attached after the jewel to make it look like the old one. it looks like it could hopefully be a single kit with the parts for both... *crossing mon-kiegh fingers*

Whoa!

Didn't see THAT coming from the Fire Prism!

The Night Spinner looks as expected though, which is an OK thing.

And, with the magic of 'right click save as', these pictures will be around... forever!

Thanks for posting!

From the looks of it, they did a redesign of the hull. It looks like the rear end/side is completely different. The exhaust ports look different as well.

Just letting you know: when i follow the links there's a username field AND password field filled in, not sure if it's relevant but thought you might want to know for preventative measures.
EDIT: never mind. I don't speak French that well, I got confused. Ignore it.

They look like add ons to me.

The forgeworld ones do a better job as these look like they fit kinda weird, where as the forgeworld ones look like an extension to the hull.

The engine parts might count as star engines.

Thanks for posting these. Prism is a huge improvement over the old one and the Night Spinner is cool. I would've liked the Falcon/Serpent hull to be re-designed to look more like the FW Eldar superheavies (longer, sleeker, more aggressive and more modern) but of course that won't happen untill 2020 the earliest.

Cool!

I kind of wish they would make hull variations though, that falcon is becoming a eldar rhino lol (20 kits consisiting of the same tank with a diff turret).

The spinner looks as expected, the prism is obviously a big change. I like it! I also liked the older version though, they do not look like the same family of turret though, a bold decision. Too bad you can't choose to build either (or maybe you could?).

Thanks, so nice to get an old school non-gw sneak peek these days!

I really like the spinner.

I feel that the similarity between the two basically necessitates that there will be one plastic kit with options for both.

Thanks very much for posting!

The tank looks different than the Falcon. I don't think it's just a Falcon kit with an additional sprue for the top gun(s). Very cool. I'll wait until I see the actual Nightspinner rules before making a decision to buy, however.

I cannot wait for these to come out. I have put off buying a Fire Prism for my Eldar until the plastic one becomes availabe simply because CORVUS HAET METAL

I may actually sell my half-painted Fire Prism now for two of these...

Well, good thing the old fire prism kit was just a falcon kit with metal fire prism upgrades slapped in there. Now I can do reverse conversions and turn them back into falcons, so I have an excuse to get the newer ones.

I very much like the new fire prism. They toned down the prism cannon so it's not all fat and goofy looking. The first Dawn of War had the right idea when they made the prism look smaller and more slender. Nice to see GW working the unflattering exaggerations out of their models.

Fixed.

I must make an Eldar army.

Bad news about the nightspinner, it's AP -

I'm so hot for the Fire Prism though.

Both are quite good. I think the subtle changes to the turret make it look more Eldar-y and harken back a bit to the old Armourcast designs and the Type 1 forgeworld superheavies, but looks better than both.

The body looks like the original with just some bits added on. I'm not sure about the Prism Cannon. The smaller crystal is welcome (and is that transparent plastic?), but that long barrel looks weird. Probably partly because it is pointing down. But it should be easy enough to change.

Anyone remember how the falcon sprue is laid out? Are the body and the turret parts on the same frame?

Overall I think it's a solid kit and it should be very easy to magnetize and swap out both gun bits. And it should be cool for kitbashing.

You know what I've always felt would be cool? An Eldar terrain piece featuring a prism cannon and 4 feeder lasers radiating around it, set up to be an anti-orbital turret. The new prism cannon would work very well for that I think.

Also, on the Fire prism, is that a Shuriken Cannon undermounted on the nose?

Would be sweet in plastic.

I have yoinked them and put them in the gallery for all to enjoy.

No. The Falcon comes with two sprues for the body and one sprue for the Falcon turret (Plus one heavy sprue). Likewise, the Wave Serpent sprue somes with two Falcon sprues for the body and one Wave Serpent parts sprue (Plus two heavy sprues).

It is very likely that this kit will contain the two sprues for the Falcon body and one Prism/Spinner Sprue (alongside clear pieces for prism and windshields).

I like the new Prism. Pity I´m more into IG right now.

M.

Not totally sold on the Prism. Need to see it from more angles. At the moment the long barrel just screams 'unnecessary' to me.

The Night Spinner is ace. I like the FW one, but this is quite cool as well.

Well, the Spinner looks absolutely cool.
Not sure about the 2nd tank. It could be a Falcon, too.

I'm actually not that into the night spinner.
The top turret is too big, it looks top heavy and not agile enough to be a eldar tank.

I cried a little bit inside of me when I saw those models.

Yes, the FW Night Spinner is goofy. Yes, the metal Fire Prism bitz are way heavy and too big.

But this new kit just looks cheap for the sake of cheap.

FAIL.

I won't be buying either kit.


God help us if they do the same kind of thing to feth up the Superheavies when those roll around..

Wave Serpent Kit has a plastic Shuriken Cannon for the undermount.

I like the look of both, and it appears that it's going to be a single combined kit. If you look at the Fire Prism turret, it appears that it has the space for the double guns of the Night Spinner likely replaced by a targeting array of some sort.

Love the new fire prism, no so much about the night spinner, I'll probably still get them both anyway.

Is it really a prism?
The cannon looks really small.
