It'd probably be easier to tell if it was put together, heh.

I admit, I still associate Farseers with female Eldar, given the Dawn of War series. But GW hasn't produced one yet to my knowledge.

Strikes me as rather odd that they haven't yet, even without Dawn of War's substantial influence, the fluff regularly refers to female farseers. Though with space elves, it's not exactly easy to tell at a glance.

Is it pink and whinnies?

I see hotsauce has the leaked promo pic as his profile photo.

No, It is the bright stallion

Where do people go for leaks now that Naftka is gone?

Leeks wont be for another week

I REALLY hope it's not the Bright Stallion. I just don't dig that design, and can't see them being able to update it into something that I WOULD want..

We invent our own fake rumours

More seriously: Dakka. You get the same info about as fast but with the crap filtered out.

If they bring the bright stallion, I would forgive (partially) GW for the specialist game situation. Man would it be cool.
I'm really pumped for this release, hope that they treat it as a complete makeover, a la necron and DE, and not just add a few random units.

Same here. However, given the GW's hate of women, the Farseer's probably going to either be male or indistinguishable.

I am fine with indistinguishable.

And i would actually love to have not one , but at least 2 ponies in my eldar army.

There actually WAS a female Farseer released at one point in time... ironically enough for Necromunda.

EDIT: wait, never mind, I might be wrong about the gender of that one. Looking into it more. I always thought it had been billed as a woman...

You were close, it was actually an unreleased Juan sculpt of Iyanna from the 3rd Edition CWE Codex. Typically if you can find one, they go for around the $400 mark. I know someone who has the model, but can't part with that kind of cash... yet. http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/File:Unreleased_-_Eldar_Farseer_1.jpg

Oh and Mr.Mardawn (The Necromunda Farseer you spoke of) had an awesome "rage quit, table flip" ability, in that if the chosen model he was headhunting was killed... he went apes*&t, casting a massive psychic storm which immediately ended the game.

wait, there was a farseer in necormunda.

Where did they release the rule for him ??

Yup, he had two Fire Dragon body guards as well, as a matter of fact he sits on my monitor stand right in front of me as I type this. I believe GW still has the rules up on their site, if not... a quick google will come up with them

I'm impatient for pics/rule details

Bizzare, I have no recollection of those Eldar Knights. Fairly certain I'd remember an Eldar horse, but there you go.

Lol, there will be all kinds of interesting discussions if they go for the "Bright Stallion" design.

How do I see this on BoLS and not here? Did I miss it, and it was mentioned already? If so, I will delete and sorry.

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2013/05/40k-rumors-eldar-latest-tidbits.html

From BoLS.


Here's the latest word from the birds in the trees...


The Dark Reaper Exarch regains a classic weapon option from the days of yore. HINT, HINT - it involves skulls and chain.

Aspect Warriors are moving to plastic using the "combo-unit" dual-build format GW has moved to of late. We'll leave it up to you to guess which aspects could be paired off into combo-kit boxes with differing heads/weapon options.

The new Eldar flyer is quite curved in nature, with sweeping lines all about. A real head turner.

The new Eldar "big kit" is a wraith construct that shares numerous design cues with the current War Walker - but much larger. A "virtual" beast...

Eldar keep thier distance from Tau from an overall design theme. They will be the masters of maneuver and outright speed. Look for multiple options and units types for jetbikes including up-armored and even faster versions. Jetbikes as a family may well become the staple hallmark of the army. They will come in multiple flavors with both anti-personnel and anti-armor types.

FOC wise, look for a whole lot of jumping about of units between the HEAVY SUPPORT, FAST ATTACK, and ELITES slots. There will be difficult player decisions to be made in those areas.

My wife is going to kill me in my sleep...

Myth KS, then Robotech KS, then Deadzone KS, and then Eldar....

Although a couple flyers and anything I find interesting should sort me out. I own every Eldar in production and a many that aren't.

Now, should I paint my new "big kit" as Rainbow Dash or Donkey from Shrek?

With plastic aspects being rumored, there are way too many new kits being rumored now. Not even the Dark Eldar line had this many new kits. Then again, the Eldar have been in planning and development at least since 2006 or so with that "new" jetbike model.
It's to be expected that many of these rumors will just end up being untrue.

Edit: Also, in before the next tangent of Round 3 (or 4) of people guessing what aspects will be combined into boxed sets.

This is going to be a huge plastic release for GW. Even the Codex is being done in plastic.

Finally, a LE Codex I can get behind!

Do you know if there will be a "How to Paint Your Eldar Codex" follow-up release?

Ahaha! Nice one.

Imagine if there was a miscast and you couldn't tell what the points value for something was.


Sorry, I'm dragging this off topic. I'll stop now.

This sounds exciting if it delivers that much plastic crack! Although I don't think I'll be a big fan of a...a.....MC pony. However if the new flyer is as sexy as it sounds, (not the top down view....) I'll be looking at getting a squadron!

Well wait till you see the ebook version...

If the Eldar become the 'masters of outright speed' i'll be a little ticked off, as that's supposed to be the DE's thing.

Not that i'd be surprised if they do get it, as the DE have already lost most of their vaunted speed with the edition change, and won't be updated again for another decade...

I had a thought, tonight. A lot of what seems to be fueling the Bright Stallion talk is the discussion of the big wraith/piloted construct as having digitigrade type legs. Some have suggested that, rather than the Bright Stallion, it may be one of the Fire Gale type of Eldar Knight:



Some of the rumors, though, point to a big walker that has a stance and/or visual cues from War Walkers, which none of those really do.

So, I got to thinking...what if they took inspiration from a LARGER Eldar walker whose design they've radically changed. Took the old design, shrunk it to fill a Knight type slot, refined it to more modern Eldar styling.

Something like this:



With the large weapon arms like that, as well as the digitigrade legs, I could easily see how a model which takes its visual cues from the old Revenant might be thought most similar to a current War Walker, and it would be an interesting nod to the older designs without being stepping on the current Revenant's toes.

Yeah, if it was one of those then its as good a paid for, although if it is the knight thingy I'll be looking for possibilities to make it into a mini-titan with 2 legs before buying.

I think they would shift a lot more if it was based on the Fire Gale.

My guess: Banshees will look like dudes
