Well, I like 'em. They look like Harlis, and we finally get a Solitaire (grr...). I wonder what the next release is, and I guess they are getting a book.

I could see the transport and bikes being next week with the "codex" and then shadow seer and death jester the following week in clamshells. That would be the entire release pretty much as far as I can tell.

Looks neat, though assault armies since 6th arent too hot. But id like to see them on a table

My assault heavy Ork list hits the table every single time Doesn't always chop its way through everything, but does a good job at winning me games by sheer numbers, entangling shooty foes, and camping objectives. I feel assault armies should not be winning by tabling. Shooting does that. Assault armies should be designed to win just by stalling and stealing objectives, period.

Here they are for the thread:

Shiny. I'm liking the holo-suit effect that you can add to it.

That harlequin be like;

Yeah colour me impressed. Not too keen on the troupe master pose though.

Bet they use slotta bases. That's why they are on 25mm bases.

I can't remember the last plastic model with a slotta base. You just don't need them when plastic glue welds whatever to the base, and all those bits of terrain they're on will have a fair amount of surface area to glue to a base.

Man I love Eldar power weapons

I suspect they'll be like some of the newer kits and have a bit of scenery attached to the legs.

I like how there's a Dark Eldar and Eldar one in there.

Harlequins consider all eldar bros so I suspect they can have what they like. Dark Eldar like em mainly because of the artsy death they can unleash. Not sure about Craftworlders though. I suspect they just treat them like that creepy family relative you talk to only because you have to be polite lol.

No I know why, I just like it

Regarding the bases, this model range could have been ready for release for 2+ years and before GW made the decision to change some bases to put larger models like Necrons onto

Thank you, Pretre. This must be a problem on my end. I use an ipad atm. I cannot see your pic nor mine if they are linked like that. Will try it later on the pc and update the 1st post

I'm seeing all the others, but I'm not seeing Pretre's either.

I don't really see it, if they wanted to release these guys with 32mm they could have easily. I think even GW realizes there has to be a cut-off for the 32mm bases...you're not going to ever see them on things like grots!

Space Marines really needed a bigger base to show that they're bigger (and badder) than the run-of-the-mill human. That's been a gripe people have had between the IG and SM ranges for YEARS. Necrons fit right into the MEQ category, so it would make sense that they got bigger bases too. The Shield of Ball set had Tyranids on normal bases (minus the units that typically have different base sizes), and I think from now on we will see 32mm on Marines/Necrons/Orks(?) and 25mm on Guardsmen/Eldar/(some)Nids/Daemons(?).

They do look nice, Master's pose aside. I may grab a box, and as there are 6 in there, take one for a Solitaire conversion and the rest for a 5-space-elf squad.

Yeah, Necron and SM fit on the 32mm, most other things will look drowned on them. I think it's mainly an aesthetic thing. I much prefer 32mm for the Necrons, looks much better.

I may do my Dark Eldar on 32mm simply because their legs are so bloody far apart and I get sick of having to go back and paint their feet every time during painting.

Regarding earlier queries about Death Jesters and Shadowseers possibly being neglected or getting some later release, on the UK Games Workshop website the Harlequin Troupe is 'no longer available' while the Death Jesters and Shadowseers are still available. I guess that says something.

It says nothing really.

The Troupe, Death Jesters, and Shadowseers are all currently available on GWUS.

They're all still available on the US site.

EDIT: Kan beat me!

How long has it been 'no longer available' though? Because they might go 'no longer available' between now and their release, to be fair.

That said I love the current Death Jester and Shadowseer model.

The Harlequin Troupe has been NLA since at least last week.

Finally, a use for all my wych models! Lelith as a Solitare, and the three wych weapons match up well as harlequin weapons- embrace as the shardnet, caress as the hydra flails, and kiss is hydra gauntlets. Blast pistols as fusion pistols. For 2 points more than bloodbrides, they are so, so much better.

I will neither confirm nor deny that I used Blitz.

Edit Note:
I just filtered the thread as I knew I had replied to someone about the No Longer Available thing.

They went No Longer Available on the UK site last Monday.

But only over here?

The US/UK have different stock management systems and allocation. Finecast stuff gets cast in the UK in bulk but then the US supposedly gets given a large allocation for distribution later via the US webstore.

My point being, if it's only NLA in the UK, the fact the other 2 aren't doesn't really mean anything in terms of if they get models or not because we know we're getting a new Harlequin troupe and the finecast one is still available over there, right?

The Solitaire is really nice, I will have to pick one up. The feet look a little too large, but that might just be the angle of the picture.

The Harlies in general are pretty well done, I love the masks in particular, but there is something a little "stiff" about the poses compared to the metal versions.

The Troupe Leader's pose is unfortunately, absolutely fething terrible.
