Best not get our hopes up.
Ya mean to say the only aspect warriors I've never purchased because they were just so goddamn ugly?
Man would I be hyped by that.

It certainly seems more Webway War than Spiders. Halies, Custodes and maybe necrons (although I would have put Deathwatch vs Necrons).
I don't think we will see more Eldar in a PA book, but that's not to say that Craftworlds 2.0 is not in the works so they can release the Banshees and a new kit(s) for other aspects. It was such a fail to hamstring them to the BotP box.

I tend to agree, sadly. But I'm wondering what units (or unit, really) they could release for that book. There has to be a miniature release, no matter how meagre, so what could it be?
I'd be all up for a Great Harlequin. Give the Harlies a more leader-y HQ choice.

So you could link them to whatever might happen/is happening in the webway.
The Warp Spider Aspect takes its name from the crystal spiders that protect the Infinity Circuits of craftworlds from hostile psychic intrusion. They swarm to attack any shred of non-Eldar energy that finds its way into the Infinity Circuit. These spiders are some form of psychic lifeform, as they create (and dissolve) their physical bodies using the psychoactive crystal structure of the craftworld.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.

There is a 0.0001% chance harlequins get anything but a name generator, custom masque traits, and a few stratagems tied to each specific unit doing a special thing.
MAYBE a special psychic power for each named masque. I expect minimal effort content for harlequins.

The sad thing is that even that meagre offering would still put them well above Dark Eldar in terms of what they got from PA.

You're not. If you're worried about your opponent using 'fake' rules, you're having fun the wrong way. This hobby isn't about rules. It's about buying Citadel miniatures.
Please report to your nearest GW store for attitude readjustment. Take your wallet.

Its just a sales pitch to update new comers to the hobby. Nothing really extra-ordinary. I just hope orks get plastic characters, MAWB and KFF big mek without mega armor

Crons and Knights off the top of my head.
Death Watch?
Harlequins
Deathwatch
Space Wolves
Orks
Knights
Necrons
Death Guard
Custodes
Sisters?
Miscellaneous? (assassins, SoS, inquisiton, etc)
Question marks on the ones I doubt will see anything.

I keep hoping that the Harlequins will get the Mime infiltrators that were introduced in the Citadel Journal 44, Death Jesters with alternate weapons, a warlock level Shadowseer, and a hero level Great Harlequin, but I know there’s only something like a 0.00001% chance of any of that happening.
Obviously after suffering near cripling casualties, and having your recruiting worlds overrun by daemons, the sensible thing for a Chapter to do is banzai into a Waaagh! in an attempt to kill Ghazghkull (which is clearly so unsucessful that they actually managaed to bring Makari back to life)...

To be fair, Space Wolves are not known for prudence.

That leaves Necrons, Harlies, Deathwatch, inquistion and sisters. No idea what the combination is going to be, but I'm hoping for Sanctuary 101 2 : Tesla Boogaloo

Sanctuary 101 3 : The necrodermic horse strikes back?
I guess it could be Deathwatch vs Necrons.
Might also be Harlies vs Necrons, but that would leave Deathwatch vs Sisters, and that's weird. I guess it could be a 2v1v1 between the imperials, eldar and necrons, which would be pretty cool.

...to make room for even more Primaris Marines to supplement their now even more flagging forces! Hurray! What a noble sacrifice.
Also, must they ask a question we all know the answer to as if the ink on the story wasn't already dry in our collective conscious? Yes, GW, the Space Wolves will stop the Orks from destroying the entire Imperium. We already know. It isn't suspenseful.
