Ive tried google and havent really turned up a great deal.
Due to being finecast, i cant find any of the parts on the more well known bitz sites.

Im simply wondering what options come in the eldar aspect box's.
I know there are the ones pictured, but most exarches have access to 3 different weapon layouts, plus the normal one.

Need to know if possible what options come in the following sets:


Reapers (hoping for an EML, set shows a tempest)
Scorpions (Hoping for chainsabres, set shows claw)
Banshees (hoping for mirror blades, set shows executioner)
Spiders (all i know is it has power blades and a twin-spinner)
Dragons (Only seen a fire pike in the kit)

The spears i can see in the upgrade kit on GW's site, but the rest simply state how many parts come with the set, which does not help a great deal :(
Thanks for any help possible

The metal boxes had the following. The finecast boxes should have the same - just in finecast.

Reapers - tempest launcher or RL for the exarch (no EML)
Scorpions - sabres, claw or chainsword.
Banshees - executioner, pistol and sword (metal box had 6 pairs of pistol/sword) or twin swords (different style to regular swords and slightly different tassels.
Spiders - as noted. Twin blades and twin spinners. NO OTHER options for exarch - and it's been this way since 2nd ed.
Dragons - firepike or flamer (had 'em confused - haven't played with my eldar since this version of the models came out ).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

If you look at one of the actual box sets for the aspect warriors it shows you the multiple weapons they come with.

Dark Reapers I know for a fact come with both the Tempest Launcher and the Eldar Missile Launcher for possible Exarch upgrades. For example: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1160106a If you look at the first picture it shows the Reaper Exarch with a Missile Launcher on the top left. The second picture shows the squad with the Tempest Launcher.

Striking Scorpions come with the Scorpion's Claw and Biting Blade for their Exarch. I seem to recall seeing Chain Sabres for them, but cannot recall off the top of my head if they are available in the box.

Banshees should be the same as the metal box as you have listed above. Mirror Blades are taking the twin swords on the Exarch. It is the Triskele that is not given.

Spiders only come with the Powerblades for the Exarch. They have not had a new model kit in so long I do not want to guess. They have been using these models since when I started the game around 1998.

The Fire Dragon Exarch has both the Firepike and Dragon's Breath Flamer option in the box.

thank you both for the help

Wolf - While the box art does help, i had an issue not too long ago with the box art being from the metal version, which did not include the same items in finecast.

Same with the Autarch sets.
Metal versions and finecast seem to be very different.
Ive found the winged one on youtube in an unboxing vid, which was more than helpful.
Still cant find the chainsword/fusion autarch one in finecast though.

Simply wanted to know what parts they came in as i wanted a winged autarch with PW and mandi's.

Thanks again both of you for the help
