Harlequins release in early 2015? - February 3, Skyweaver jetbike rules leaked

The harlequin set is no longer available on the webstore, but the individual models, I.e shadowseer and death jester still are.

Could be hitting the shelves soon!

Still on the store in box and clam packs that I can see

"Dance of Death": Harlequin Release Imminent!

Harlequins are coming, most likely quicker than expected. The end of this coming weekend's White Dwarf is said to give us the hint, "Dance of Death". Dance of Death is definitely not a reference to Necrons, and it looks like our Harlequin book is just a short couple weeks out.


At This moment we have not seen leaks, so its considered a rumor.

End of the Necron WD refers for the following week to "Dance of Death".
So unless the Necrons just discovered an affinity for music...

I'm actually surprised this is happening.... I thought this would be "way off towards the end of 7th" type of release. Very happy about this... hopefully Veil of Tears will get a buff

7th has been out for a few months now so you could still be right!

It hurts because it's true.

Whew!     Perhaps a bit premature, however, so please keep in mind that these cannot be considered 100% accurate just yet.

Six models? Could it actually be that they have learned from the mistake that was the Wrack box?

More - supposed Solitaire rules:

Starweaver? Is there any existing fluff to back these up? Is it completely new?

WHEN CAN I BUY ONE?!

Just one? I have three squads of Harlies

I've got some overhead issues coming up....

That's right. This is consistent with another rumor earlier this week.
Man, I'm going to be broke as a joke

I don't think I have ever been more excited for anything 40k related. Harlequins are one of the big things that drew me to warhammer so anything about them is awesome to see.

And i thought i have enough of grey plastic... Eh...just...i dont know...i cant simply dont buy Harlies.
At least i have some metal ones and all the characters.

I can't adequately express myself with text right now.

I hope that the harlie jetbikes look like that unreleased CWE jetbike sculpt combined with the old harlie jetbikes.

I'm going to be beyond excited if that transport is a decently armored assault vehicle.

Looks like I'm the only one not so excited about Harlequins. Oh well. Maybe after I've actually seen the models.

I was going to buy my Talos a friend earlier today. Now I'm going to wait and see how these look before committing the contents of my wallet...

And they are harder to paint than a Daimyos boyfriend....
