Warhammer 40k: Eldar War Walker Squadron $60.00
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Farseer $12.00

Not sure what this is:
Warhammer 40k: Rules Case $15.00

and also:
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Army $245.00

I'm kind of impressed that all of the aspects are $30 across the board. And the $60 war walker squadron is a must.

Does anyone know what the Aspect Warriors box looks like? It is 5 basic models or 4 plus exarch?

It's five regular aspect warriors and one exarch per aspect box.

Here's a side by side comparison of prices, along with how their sold:
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Dire Avengers $30.00
Current: Box set of 8 for $30; my guess is the new set will bring these in line with other aspects: 4 basic figures +1 exarch
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Farseer & Warlock Bodyguard $30.00
Current: Choice of blister Farseer ($12) & Warlock ($10) or the $45 Seer Council which includes Farseer & 4 warlocks. No idea what the contents of this set will be, my guess is a farseer and two Warlocks.
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Wraithlord $40.00
Current: $35 metal model. Enjoy your "cheaper" and more affordable plastic model, suckas!
Warhammer 40k: Eldar War Walker $30.00
Current: $35 metal model. Something must not be right, can this be true? A plastic model that is actually cheaper and more affordable than what it replaces?!?!
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Dark Reapers $30.00
Current: Blisters of 2 DR for $15 or one Exarch for $10. Guess at new set: Box of 4 Dark Reapers, no exarch (inclusion of which would make it a "bargain", if paying $6 a fig is a bargain when only few years ago they were half as expensive)
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Fire Dragons $30.00
Current: Blisters of two Fire Dragons for $10 or one Exarch for $10. My guess is new Aspects with similar price points will be 4 basic figs + exarch.
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Striking Scorpions $30.00
Current: Blisters of two Scorps for $10 or one Exarch for $10. My guess is new Aspects with similar price points will be 4 basic figs + exarch.
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Warp Spiders $30.00
Current: Blisters of two Warp Spiders for $12 or one Exarch for $10. Here I guess just five Warp Spiders. Would be a "bargain" if was in line with the rest of the aspect sets.
Warhammer 40k: Eldar War Walker Squadron $60.00
Current: No such thinng! Looks like another "bargain". I do like the new sculpts for this though.
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Farseer $12.00
Same as current.
Warhammer 40k: Eldar Autarch With Power Sword $15.00
New item, terrible sculpt.

I too would like to see what the actual contents will be rather than my furtive guestimations based on GW's past... performance.

10 Dire Avengers would be nice and would certainly boost their sells...well...you can dream, can't you?

Sad thing that i didn't want to buy any war walkers in the future, they seem to be a rather nice deal.
The price of the wraithlord is ok, imo, but i've waited long for a convertable wraithlord model so yeah, call be biased.

10 Dire Avengers wouldn't surprise me. You can get 16 guardians for $35, and the DA's are like slightly cooler guardians, so 8 or 10 sounds about right.

nylarhotep - I beleive that the Farseer set for $30 is supposed to have the Farseer and 3 warlocks, but you may be right on that.

The new Eldar Army box set shows the Aspect squads box sets come with 5 aspect warriors and an exarch, for a total of 6 per box. The exarch should also come with 2 options for different exarch wargear. The Dark Reapers are rumored to come in a set of 5. 4 aspects and 1 exarch. I'm not sure about the Spiders.

Also, the Dire Avengers will be in a box of 10. The box sets generally don't deviate much from what appears in the army deal.

I thought the wraithlord was going to cost $45 to 50, so I'm mildly pleased.

 

Yeah, I expected somewhat like the carnifex 45$ price tag...

P.S. didn't the dire avenger sprue showed 5 avengers per sprue (with the possibility to make an exarch)?

didn't GW do the Pirhana squad deal for way cheap with the Tau and then remove it as a limited time offer? I'm thinking the same thing with the War Walkers. 3 for $60 for the first month or so, then end it and sell them seperatley or whatever

Well hopefully they don't make a new Viper. Like that only came out when 95? But, they must come out with a new Striking scorpion or a new Dire avenger model.... But, now in an over priced box set!

If the boxes are 4 regular warriors and an Exarch for $30(US) then the fact that you have to buy two to get one less than a full squad(can't have two Exarchs) or two blisters (at still presumably $10) is crazy. A space marine squad is what, $35 for a full squad with special and heavy weapons these days? A full aspect squad will run you at least $50. And don't tell me it's points, Fire Dragons are rumoured to cost 15 now and things like Dire Avengers cost less than that. The marines can beat non craftworld Eldar on the tabletop and in the wallet.

Although, not half as rediculous as the whole "If you have a full squad of Wraithguard they count as troops!" mess. So if I pay $150 (at the rumoured $15 a blister increase) and then buy a $10 dollar Warlock to babysit them, I can have semi-powerful unit in my army? Schweet!

I hope I am dead wrong though. This is all from rumours right now.

I'm shuddering at what these are going to cost in Canadian dollars. Although, I suspect that Vypers at $45 (additional heavy weapon sprue!) Faclons at $55 (additional heavy weapon sprue!) and Wraithlords at $50 won't be out of line.

The 9 + Exarch for DAs seems reasonable, as they are plastic, and they are balls in the new codex.
I'm betting the aspect boxes will probably be 4 + 1 like the Kommandos and Possessed - although, the Reapers will probably be something inconvenient like 2 + 1 exarch with lots of gribbly bitz for heavy weapons options. Farseer and bodyguard will probably be 3 + 1 for $45cdn (on spear warlock, two sword warlock and one farseer with spear/sword options, since precedent has been set by Sniper Drones, Shadowsun and Grimmaldus.

The warwalkers are a splash release like the phirannas. Too bad they suck - and too bad that I already have a full squad of sexier "classic" warwalkers. The phirannas went on sale here in Canada for $70/3 splash, and now after price increase in June, they are $40 each. So - They'll probably be $30 each in the US soon enough.

Remember, you heard it here first! Haha.

Nah- metal aspect squads will definetly be 5 + 1 exarch. The army deal contents confirm this. I really can't see GW throwing in a single warrior for each of the squad boxes in the army deal. That really isn't precedented. I could be wrong, but think about it- why would they do that? The price of the army deal is based on its contents, and with the break down including the aspects as single boxes is just right. Adding a bunch of extra bits would only increase the "deal".
