I think that Deathwatch by design should have the most options available to them. They have such a massive arsenal of different things that their versatility should be highlighted. Primaris should have the options of all loadouts available to other chapters so their LTs. for example should be able to be equipped with plasma pistols, power swords, auto/stalker guns and all that. Perhaps a new model for them with a flamer would be really cool as well.

Another thing I would love to see is being able to pick between any of the space marine psyker disciplines to really open up even more options for them.

My copy of the DE codex hasn't arrived yet. But apparently there HQ units have options that have to kit bashed from other DE kits? Maybe its a blip, or maybe its a changing of attitude at GW and some of those daft restrictions on DW wargear will be gone when the codex drops?

The Archon did lose access to a couple options, such as the Blaster, but they can still take several items that are not available on the Archon kits.

Can't lose options from the index, only gain them from a codex.

I am aware. I am just saying that the codex entry does not have those options.

Do One for yourself with the single hand guardian spear from the Custodes Box set... ;-) I think the special thing on his left arm is a little tricky but its also possible...take the Primaris Sgt. Arm with the Display in it and maybe combine it with an auspex for the look...

In general Primaris also dont need new weapons, they already have special Boltguns that are like the special Deathwatch Ones...Stalkers..the One with the bigger Scope on them...take Intercessors and build them with these updates, put the Shoulder Pads from the Deathwatch Update on them maybe also a head/helmet or two and you are done...ok the Stalker guns dont have the supressor but Stalker is Stalker... ;-)

I was hoping Harlies have other Eldar and DE vehicles like how 1k sons and DG do. Though a webway fortification will probably eliminate a need for that.

I also do not want to see a Primaris focus, especially considering the KT's are already points heavy. Plus their current kits look great and there is already a good amount of options available.

A Deep Strike Strategem would be nice if it includes mixed KT's, as they need a way to get up the board and I can't see running two Blackstars. For this reason alone I decided to pass on mixed KT's so that I have room for two squads and my Watchmaster.

In 7th it took a formation to do so. Haven't tried them in 8th.

No, only Vanguard Vets can DS if it's an entire squad (i.e. not Kill Team with added Vanguard Vets).

The Webway Gate will be accompanying the release of Codex: Harlequins. We’re happy to confirm that this codex, alongside Codex: Deathwatch, will be out in May, and we’ll be running extensive previews on both as we get ready for them to go on pre-order.

Looks very cool those helmets are amazing. Makes me want updated aspect warriors even more. I wonder if this will allow Eldar armies to circumvent the new reinforcement rules for turn 1? If it cannot move and is subject to the reinforcement rule it's usability will be limited.

Very cool as decoration. Doesn't look like the most interesting of terrain to play with, but cool none the less. I'll be curious to see what mods people do to have it active.

Recovering the old rumour about this one.

14 W 3+ and 5++ for 120 points, can be used as a deep strike point/deployment structure in matches.

On a personal note from a Wraith themed owned, love the Wraithlord/Spiritseer design helmets of the sides.

For real. He should have said something less freudian like “that’s one big wormhole!” or “what a gaping tunnel!”.

Does anyone think we might get a Start Collecting Harlequins box to go along with the codex?
Am I right in thinking Harlequins haven't had one before?
