The new model looks nice though its too bad there isn't a Jetbike riding version of him. But the Eldrad rules in the Eldar Codex aren't top tier. Will he get new rules or be kept the same?

Same rules as far as I can see.

The datasheet has been leaked and it's exactly the same as the CWE entry.

Except when taken in formation he gains Eternal Warrior and a 6+ Save after save that isn't FNP.

Eldrad shouldn't get rules for being on a Jetbike, special characters aren't just upgraded versions of HQ's. Design wise there should be a decision between customisation and the characters niche, Jetbike vs Level 4 is the decision with Eldrad.

Kind of a random remark, but I agree

Keep in mind too that the Harlies in the DW set don't have access to transports, and the Death Jester comes with Shrouded. So Eldrad + DJ + one of the special Troupes would might make a nice mid-level foot-slogging Deathstar.

The harlequin formation is pretty bad though.

It's Eldrad and the other models minus the 2 skyweaver bikes for just a 6+ inv. wow lame.

Voidweavers are terrible too.

Well, it is a lot better than just a simple invulnerable. They can negate everything all the way up to Strength D with the ability. Plus, being unable to One-Hit-Kill Eldrad is a pretty big boon.

Anyone have the full formation details for the harlequins?

Try the news and rumours thread on the box set, it's all in the first post.

It's a 6+ unmodifiable FNP save that they get against everything. While not groundshaking that's pretty okay. Plus Eldrad gets Eternal Warrior so that's nice too.

The formation includes the Skyweavers, as I understand it. Also, this Voidweaver is slightly less terrible thanks to being BS5.
