Not sure if it means anything, but the finecast autarch is showing as sold out on the GW site, international section.

Might be a coincidence-here in Aus it's still available on the GW site

For the work-blocked, I made a few pictures of the trailer

That was an adorable attempt at a jump scare, though. "Ooh, scary clown...now it's COMINGATYOUOMFG!"

Looking forward to painting some after my buddy buys them all in a space-elf-clown-frenzy (however few or many that turns out to be).

Holy maccaroni. This is even worse than the last GW videos i've seen. Seriously, are they just putting bored interns on the job?

One thing's sure, Harlequins are coming. Though I feel it's kind of strange that Necrons (a full faction) only get what? A new dex and one HQ model, while this subfaction here that consists of what? HQ + 1 unit? gets a codex. Well, at least not even more space marine stuff...

Necrons do have a large range anyway ( Not that they don't deserve more kits they do new warriors and flayed ones spring to mind ) .

Besides the few Finecast models (all HQ related) they have, Necrons are pretty much up-to-date. IIRC they were ones that got a full make-over before the switch to 6th edition, so it wouldn't make much sense if they got new stuff already. They already had their own flyers too so yeah, what they should do is pack necrons warriors with the new bases. The normal 28mm bases really aren't that good for them.

As far as GW teasers go, it was pretty effective. I mean, no beating around the bush here: Next week is Harlis. 100% confirmed.

Yeah, I guess it did what it needed to do. I kinda like harlequins, always thought they were interesting models since the first day I saw them, but I'm a little sour about all this because it's pretty obvious now why they weren't in the Dark Eldar codex anymore. If I wanted to use a squad or two now I have to buy another $50 codex to ally them in.

No leaked pics yet except that one guy? :/

I can't imagine trying to explain this sort of my purchase to my gf.

"No see, I needed to spend another $50 because I needed the rules for this unit. Yes, just the one unit. No, the others use a different book. Why don't they all use the same book? Well, they used to...but baby, this is 7th edition we're talking about!"

White Dwarf might give you enough rules to get by....might.

If they are nice enough, they may replay what they did with the Imperial Knights. The rules were in the WD as I'm almost sure it was mentioned already. The codex was almost a "nice to have" for nuts like me who wanted the pretty hard-cover book.

I intended to imply that there exist alternate ways to obtain the rules... WD is actually a nice option if not the only one.

Oh I got you, SarisKhan, I was just grumbling about the general "less-for-more" that seems to be the trend with these GW rules.

This killed me btw

You guys! It's happening! If the rules aren't in WD or downloadable, I'm just gonna make them up.

Can someone just leak the pictures already?

The lack of pictures just makes me think that leaks are basically authorized by GW

Now I have to decide if i need to use the larger bases The DJ and SS I picked up last week.

Plus y'know. It's advertising for PLASTIC MODEL SOLDIERS not a summer blockbuster movie. Doesn't need to be super fancy.

Well, some of the previous teasers have been a black background, some fog, and a scream and slash sound, and then a date, which doesn't really tell you anything about the product at all (Tyranids? Assassins? Necrons? Chaos? Heck, Space Marines? ....Tau??)

This one was good, it had a picture of what it actually was. So I liked it.

Tau used a picture of a Crisis Suit I believe... They're all fairly obvious usually. Don't remember the Tyranids one, but I remember knowing it couldn't have been anything other than Tyranids.

angelofvengeance wrote:Doesn't need to be super fancy.

With GW pretending to be a super premium brand, it does...if they want us to actually believe that, anyway. Anything less just makes it look like they don't really give a crap about their own product, or that there really isn't anything worth getting excited about.

But that's just my opinion.

Riptide, actually. It wasn't actually that bad, and was one of the last teasers I remember getting a fairly positive reaction (until someone pointed out that GW basically ripped off a trailer for Armored Core, but you know...)

They did close-up shots of the model and then ended it with the sound of a reactor powering up and one of the lenses glowing red. Yeah, not really "super fancy" either, but at least you saw a fething model. And you know, they tried. Wouldn't have had the same impact if it was just blue smoke with some crappy artwork of a riptide flying at you in a split-second.

They're usually obvious, but I think they should always try to show something related to the actual product. I'm having a hard time finding the previews now, but I remember at least the Wood Elf one showed a Bretonnian men-at-arms model in a dark forest and then you heard rustling of trees and an attack. Now, we all knew it was the Wood Elves since it had been rumored so heavily and they were just about to be released, but it could have easily have been Chaos or beastmen or something else.

I guess what I'm getting at is I like an actual picture of something related to the release, be it a full model or some piece of art, something that says "HARLEQUINS ARE COMING" like this teaser did.

That is one heck of a schnoz... my lord... he can probably smell chaos coming miles away! I hope the models don't incorporate heroic scaled noses.

From the very tiny picture we have it seems like it.

They'd better get Acute Senses.

Pics on Grot Orderly... I can't see them (blocked)

Sweet!

Black and white though...

Nice, thanks. I will add them to first post

The trooper leaders pose is really odd.
