Eldar Codex/Supplement and Jetbikes/Autarch - April?
« on: March 31, 2015, 10:05:30 AM »
Hello, I'm not the usual bringer of rumors, but I was directed to a post on BoLS:

WHOA! Eldar Out of Left Field! - Bell of Lost Souls

It looks like Eldar will be receiving some new rules in April, either a new codex (which I feel is unlikely), or a new supplement.

This would coincide with a new release of plastics jetbikes, and perhaps a plastic Autarch.

Evidence to the truth of this is that jetbikes were sold out a few weeks ago on the GW website, and now aren't on the website at all (even greyed out with the "no longer available" message over it), nor the jetbike Autarch upgrade kit.

My personal feeling is that it will not be a new Codex:Eldar, but a supplement for Saim Hann, coinciding with the new jetbikes, and presumably a jetbike Autarch.

...and if the jetbike kit does not include a way to make a jetbike warlock/farseer... I will literally D-cannon GW into the warp.

That's all the news I've got... anyone have better feelers on this?

I'm not an Eldar player (although sometimes I think I'd like to be) but I think it's amazing how long those jetbikes lasted, and how well they held up too.  They've been there for as long as I can remember, and I've been in this game since 1998.

But, new ones will surely be welcomed, and will probably look amazing too.

you guy's can't imagine how much i'm praying right now ! i want to know where they are going. The supplement for saim-han might be a good idea. I am not aware of any of those things but one things for sure, I hate the actual jetbikes model.  Not like i really hate them but to me it's a big meh feeling with them when I compare them to arlies or dark eldar ones. really looking for the new then plz if anyone have any news tell me!  (i hope to see some love on the vyper aswell ) there i like the model and concepts but they are like ...  not good enough. depending on these  possible release, i might totally change my army direction >< well i'm looking forward to seeing what they are up to if they are up to anything.

... ... ... ... ...  HEEEEEEELL YEAAAAAAAAAAH !!! (yep caps I'm totally screaming right now) ... ...  and beslubber it will have to buy a new codex aparently :/  i hope it's not a complete rework because that would cost me way to much. I don't intend to buy anithing but if they have a new codex up ... i will have to give in to this.

well the jetbikes... finally some cool looking things pointing there noses out. Plastic avartar...  well got one already (old metal one) so i will feel out dated but i won't buy new one, at least until i finished painting my full armi (looooong way to go on this ><).

What are those "paint web bundle" I don't understand :/ are they the bundle of figurine with the allocated color?

Nice to see the shining spear and autarch getting updated, i really think shinning spear can be deadly units if used well  will need to put my nose in to this bu i think you can shread termy with those. wainting to see how they will look like ^^ might buy some if i like them :D then again not before army is fully painted ^^

Cautiously optimistic about Windriders/Shining Spears sharing a box - as if that is true it will mean that the Shining Spears' Laser Lances will become inexpensively available on Bits sites and EBay, making my job of converting up a bunch of Exodite Dragon Knights much easier/cheaper.  ;D

This is exciting if true. I already own over 50 jetbikes but would welcome some new ones. I hope it is a Saim Hann sup, that would make me happy.

Judging from what i see it's more likely to be a full codex with special rules and detachment rules for the different craftworld in the same codex that's how it appears to me at least

I think we have seen the last of supplements for codices..... we will see sub faction codices (ad mech skitarri, harlies, the new khorne demonkin) but i think GW realized pretty quickly that a lot of people hated having to buy one book, then another to run an army. Besides... with formations and alt force org charts you can have vastly unique armies in the same book to fit specific themes.

I expect an aspect themed formation, a saim-hann formation, a ghost walker formation and a ranger/outcast formation in the new book.

Was the Iyanden book released prior to 7th?  Because if not, I wouldn't hold my breath when it comes to seeing formations specifically for Wraith constructs.
If there is anything that recent politics has taught us, it is that quotes taken out of context can mean what ever you want them to.
Well I always liked the globals...

It was close to the release of C:Eldar from memory as it was a heavily wraith orientated release. Lets see what Lexicanum says

Iyanden: Released June 2013
C: Eldar: Released 2013

I did read somewhere on Faeit or BoLs that the Avatar is FW spear one although who knows.

Glad SSpears are being redone they're my worst painted aspects and Ive been hanging out for new models for them for ages.

Very excited about some Biel-Tan orientated formations but very miffed about having to buy a new dex so soon. It's what 1/3 the life span of the 4th ed dex? Hopefully it's not too different this dex is my fav Eldar one.

As this is rumours AND speculation wonder if holofields will change to how they work in the Harlie dex it would seem likely.

I would be EXTREMELY surprised if the Holofields didn't follow suit with the Harlequin codex. The two books being released so close together, it seems likely that why they even made the change in the Harlequin book.

EARLY MAY
Codex Eldar (already confirmed by Lords of War)

Looks like early May release!

Also, if memory serves, we had the Iyanden Suppliment the week or so following the Eldar codex release?

Ill be happy for some new spears models, (my old ones can now be converted to jetseers/warlocks like i had them previously)

I am still unsure about what we might see become lord of war... might make a post in the eldar board for speculation/wants/needs...

Lords of War? My guess is the Avatar, plus maybe the Phoenix Lords.

Don't know if this is news but....
There is a picture of a WD floating around the internet saying 3 things:
1. Faster than the eye can see
2. The dying return
3. Forge world
These are hints of what is to be in the WD release April 18th.

This is what I am thinking:
1. Could be saim-hann or vect or simply new eldar jetbikes.
2. Probably Eldar, could be Iyanden or could it be a necron supplement?
3. Plastic avatar?

... hum that could be eldar because of "faster than an eyes can see" but :/  the other does not give me a eldar feeling. So we will see but i'm not as sure about this as you fenris.
