Ok.
Dedicated transports. What the heck is a starweaver??
Looks like a book is coming out, Id guess. Enigmas of the Black Library seems to indicate a book specific gear list.
oh, and I LOVE that solitaire! I will be running one every game!!

which suggest there is a vehicle to come

Hm. The models are very well done, but maybe lack a bit of soul compared to the old ones.
Starweaver - could just be a Venom with some extra bitz provided on the Troupe sprue. Like neuro cannons instead of splinters, that kind of thing. But that's just me guessing.

I believe his point is that we have solid confirmation now.

I'd seen rumors, but this is 'official' (and we've certainly seen rumours fail even within a week of a release)

As for the Starweaver I have to assume its a seperate kit (or parts possibly come in the jetbike kit to upgrade a venom) logic for this is the rules arent leaked, therefore arent in this weeks WD. If the bits came with the Troupe kit surely the rules would come at the same time.

Hmm... me likey, though the Solitaire has been photographed at a bad angle (it maybe one of those models like Shadowblade that doesn't have a good angle and needs to be seen first hand).
I didn't envisage the Solitaire with horns either, but now that I've seen them, they need to be bigger.
EDIT - I am very tempted here and that's the first time in ages I've been able to say that.
EDIT 2 - Also, note they use the smaller round bases. As I suspected, Eldar, Tau, Imperial Guard will probably stay with this size.

Good call about the bases! This is what I've been suspecting- that bigger models (i.e. T4) like Space Marines, Chaos Marines, and Necrons would received the new 32mm base while the more scrawny armies like Eldar, DE, and IG would stay on their smaller 25mm basses.
I just wonder where Orks are going to go.

I'm not sure yet whether to be worried or not.
Death Jesters could be getting made into one man badass units ala the Solitaire.

Or just rolled into their own unit such as 3-9 or something. Although a solo unit would definitely be pretty cool.

Right, that does it. The one-armed Jain Zar on my desk will now get converted into a Solitaire. Not that I have plans to play Harlequins, or 40k in general. But still, it's the principle of the thing. The models look great, but the Solitaire is too expensive by far (nothing new there).

I'm surprised how similar these plastic models are to the original metal Harlequins.
I'm also happy that the Solitaire isn't a convoluted mess of details. It's a Harlequin with a somber face and devil horns. Looks nice, but not $26 nice. I'll wait for GW to crash one day and pick these up when they go on sale or clearance.
