Mournfang Cavalry are also 2 to a box.

And $36.25 to boot, thanks for bringing that one up.

Morghasts are a two pack, at $60. So there's a few two pack kits out there.

If Skyweavers are in fact a dual kit with Starweavers, I could see the 2 for $40 being pretty reasonable since a Venom is $30.

The Starweaver is a different kit. Really

What if it isn't? What if it's a dual hull, like a Bespin Cloud Car? Might explain why you get two to a box.

D/l'd and reading 'The Masque of Vyle'.... to get it the mood....for ...well, the wait till I can get brush to plastic. Patience fading with every word I read lol

Ah the gloriously naff Star Wars vehicle that no one ever wanted as a toy.

I had a Lego one I quite liked. And it would fit with the big FW DE vehicle, that has two hulls too.

The bespin cloud car, I havent thought of that. Good idea.

Shame it's such a shameless ripoff of Masque of the Red Death, down to stealing complete (and famous) phrases like "And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all."

I guess Andy Chambers is more a freewheeling guy than the GW lawyers stalking Chapterhouse & co, but the mix still leaves an odd aftertaste (and yes, I know Poe is public domain).

Well, there is a precedent for a catamaran-style Eldar vehicle

Motley's in it so it's keeping me amused

You clearly mean Bespin Clown Car.

Hehe

Those bikes remind me of playing Mario Kart Double Dash on the Gamecube. I'd have Wario drive and Waluigi would throw out all the items from the back seat.

What's the lower rider wielding as a melee weapon? Is that the Embrace? I haven't seen an Embrace yet (not in any of the pictures in the WD), so I'm kind of curious what it looks like. The Embrace seems like a good weapon for a jetbike, too, as you are going to much more reliably be able to get charges on a jetbike platform, so the HoW hits are more reliable and potentially more valuable on smaller jetbike units.

The embrace looks like a bloated kiss I think, looking at the troupe kit on GW website, it looks to me like some kind of flail/bolas which if travelling at speed shouldn't really look like that so who knows haha.

now we just need a shot of the insides of that WD.

Thanks, BTW, those who posted the cover!

I thought the embrace was the weird little powerfist they have (well the old ones have) or is that what the caress is now?

I like the bikes... now show me an HQ choice!

The gloves are the caress, embrace is a device that shoots monofilament webbing according to the description.

So I guess I'll say the fists are the caress

According to 'What's New Today' the following model has a Harlequin's Caress on his right hand:

In the beforetimes several models had these things

see the hand on the only one that's painted...a lot had these tiny power fist things, I don't recall what they were...but I guess now they are caress'

"His left hand is extended before him as if ready to deliver a benediction, while in reality his gloved hand conceals a deadly harlequin's caress" "From the back you can see the power nodes and sharpened nails of the Harlequin's caress" Description of the solitaire in WD 53



apparently it surrounds the hand with a deadly forcefield

the embrace spits a web of monofil wire.

I want to know what the flail like weapon is on the jetbikes. Must be something cool i'm guessing. Also I suspect the other one has some sort of lance like weapon. (May not actually have the lance special rule mind)

Of course it's based of Masque of the Red Death! It's a homage to it, right down to the quotes. That's like reading a WW2 book and saying ''Hey, they ripped off World War 2!'' or something to that effect. I thought it was a really good book, bit on the expensive side, but it had let you get a look at the Harlequins and more importantly, Motley. The offical best character BL has created since Eisenhorn.

**EDIT** Anyone else see a startling resemblance between those riders and Hellions? Same stance, similar weapons and almost the exact same pose. I like the Dark Eldar feel they are giving, with the distinctly Reaver looking Jetbike rider as well.

Did think GW would do Exodites next but I suppose Harlis are even better.

The embraces are in the bottom right corner of the second sprue picture on the GW website, I'm on an iPad and couldn't manage to upload a picture

With the new Harlies having wargear from both Eldar and Dark Eldar Codices, what do you think the chances are that you will be required to own all three to have all of the rules to use them fully in print...?

Cheaper to slightly modify existing digital 3D sculpts than to pay for a sculptor to design new ones from scratch....win/win I suppose

Yeah, that's what I was referencing in my comment.

They were power fists. Eldar power fists were considerably less chunky than everyone else's.
