    Default Eldar 6th Edition Miniatures

    Kirby over at 3++ just [URL="http://projectbiomorph.com/index.php?topic=181.0"]dropped this list of Eldar boxes[/URL] sighted in the flesh.

    plastic Warpspiders/Everguard
    plastic Skycharriots/Shining Spears
    plastic Phantomwaechter - these might be the shadow spectres?
    plastic Jetbikes
    plastic Wraithguard/Cataphracts
    plastic flyer combi-kit - The flyer is pretty large and has a crossbow shape, two canopies, one fin. The main variant on the cover has some lances and a large dorsal distort cannon. The other variant has extra downward/sideway thrusters, but I don’t remember if it has a different weapon loadout.
    plastic phoenix lord niadhau - For Shining Spears, appears to be on a Vyper jetbike.
    plastic webway gate
    resin box Avatar
    resin Black Warden - The Black Warden looks like an female Autarch. She has a shurikencatapult and a feathered guardian helm with an eye on it.
    resin Dire Avenger Xentarch - Appears to be a new English name for Exarch?
    resin Howling Banshee Xentarch
    resin Fire Dragon Xentarch
    resin Striking Scorpion Xentarch
    resin box Dragon Riders
    resin box Eldritch Raiders - They look like guardians but have no helms and wear scarfs around the lower head and swashbuckle belts. They are very individually equipped, have all sorts blades, pistols and/or rifles. (potentially Storm Guardians?)
    resin box Halcones Cazadores
    resin Warlock
    No talk at all regarding schedule or rules. This is simply a listing of what boxes were sighted. Some of those names are odd, but some of you Europeans with the German, etc versions of the Eldar codex may be able to help us out.

    Also, can someone get Eldargal a chair and some smelling salts. She's gonna need assistance.

    Latest 3++ rumor dump: (Updated 7-25-2012)

    Eldar Warpspiders/Everguard
    5 per box

    Spiders: whole squad looks like the old exarch, no huge weapon, helmets smaller, but same shape, wrist blades, two small spinner weapons on rod mount from the back. Spider web like straps on the chest that hold the backpack (doesn’t look as broad as the old version), running, jumping and slightly cowering poses, exarch has extra pair of weapons on the cover, don’t remember the back pictures

    Everguard: aspect warrior body with runes on the chest, same collar as warpspiders but no mandible arcs and gas masks, different more warlock-like face plate and small arc at back of the head, double bladed two-handed spears, very dynamic models, jets from the side/underside of the backpack, squad leader has larger head-arc, mantle hangs over the backpack, flies in the wind

    Eldar Sky Charriots/Shining Spears

    3 per box, look like small vypers, slightly larger than jetbikes. Two parts: an engine part with jetbike-like canopy but in the shape of a dragon, owl and hawk head, sideway jets, and a distinct winged chariot part, parts are connected by arcs.

    Riders either warlocks but arms are not robed, spear, sword and staff; or shining spear aspect warriors with lances, shining spears have smooth canopies with gems instead animal heads, helms look very cylon-like, have collar-like shoulderguards

    Eldar Jetbikes

    3 per box, the same pose as dark eldar jetbike, guardian riders with smaller helmets or bareheaded with lots of flying hair (80s heavy metal mane) and without backpack, vyper-esque smooth canopy, jet and wings have the same design as a falcon grav tank, underslung twin shuriken catapults and/or serpent-shaped bladehooks, some riders have axes with a hole in the blade

    Eldar Dragon Riders

    3 per box, very slender lizard mounts not unlike slaanesh steeds, all female rider, no helmets, long braids, guardian armor without backpack, all have shining spear lances, sabres and/or sniper rifles as sidearms, the armor has no decoration, not even gems or small bubbles, only exception is a gem that holds a cloak that falls to the left side of the rider, very simplistic look, not aztec or tribal at all

    Eldar Wraithguard/Cataphracts

    3 per box, look like old versions but have two rods for upper arms and thighs instead of just one, some have feet, some hooves, large fins at the back

    Cataphracts: float/fly, fluttering cloth pieces instead of legs, wing-shaped shields and spears, segmented/armored head

    Eldar Swooping Hawks

    5 per box, larger wings, not so stiff and two-dimensional, several straps of clothes from the loin, wrists and ankles, model stand on these straps, both shoulder plates have inbuilt missile racks, Exarch has two shoulder-mounted blasters and a scimitar in one hand and two optional rifles, one is the same as the old exarch had, the other is a small star cannon

    The Avatar of the Young King

    Completely new design, much smaller, only as large as a wraithguard, set of aspect armour where every piece is spread out and connected by a body of magma, looks like an fire/earth elemental clad in a suit of armour, dire avenger helm with fire from the eyes and half burnt helm crest, floats and torso pose looks like vader during his Noooo scream, hands are armored, blood is dripping from the left, the right is molten and transformed into a blade

    Eldar Warlock

    fits the current warlocks but sharper robe edges, hadouken pose but with staff in two hands

    Eldar Spirit Warrior

    wraithlord-war walker mix, trygon base, running bird legs with hooves, huge scaled torso, a dozen poles extend from the back (like wraithlord but three times as much), left forearm replaced with massive lance, right hand holds extra handle on lance shaft or a three pronged swastika blade. Lower back, left shoulder and part of the left arm are concealed by an impressive cloak, head is surrounded by scaled armour plating, large gem at the front, doesn’t bend upward towards the end but downward, whole model leans forward, chest can be opened, female pilot inside

    Eldar Phoenix Lord Nuadhu, The Fireheart

    nuadhua holds lance upright, one end on the ground, points with axe on something, shining spear helm with tail of hair, layered armour like dark eldar-armour but with smooth curves, can be placed on vyper-variant, looks very similar to a vyper, canopy more segmented and wings in falcon-style, one large jet engine, chariot platform on the back, two large pennants

    Eldar Webway Gate

    Two arcs that almost touch each other at the top, whole construct has hazelnut shape, pyramidal platform with oval basis, several destroyed columns, front columns are intact and carry swooping hawk and dark reaper statues, whole model is covered with thorn-twines (seems to be optional)

    Eldar Dire Avenger Xentarch

    holds two handed samurai sword downwards, two wrist-mounted shuriken catapults, banner, 99% that the phoenix on it is modeled on, one foot stands on a rock with an owl next to it, all armour plates are bedecked with a rune pattern, don’t know if this is only painted on

    Eldar Howling Banshee Xentarch


    golfer pose, bends forwards and slashs upwards with a sabre, stretches other arm straight into the air, holds tri-swatiska, has snakes woven into her hair

    Eldar Striking Scorpion Xentarch

    I know I'm excited, throw in a new codex and it might put me over the edge too!

    Maybe I'm just ignorant of the logistics of production/release scheduling, but it seems weird to me that they would have that many plastic kits produced and sitting in warehousing for over a year. We have to assume they're not going to release all 8-9 of those plastic kits at once, that would be completely unheard of, which means some of those supposed kits could be sitting for upwards of two years. I'm skeptical. Plus, why would there be a resin Dire Avenger exarch? Just seems sketchy.

    Eldritch Raiders would be Yriels posse.

    The names of the other new stuff don't seem especially Eldar either...

    Don't be such a pessimist, there have been plenty of unlikely rumors that have been surprisingly true.

    I think Phantomwaechter may be Spiritseer.

    What if the xentarch, is an new aspect HQ that unlocks one aspect as a troop. Or this is massive wish listing.

    On the note of the Shining Spear Phoenix Lord "niadhau" - a codex or two in the past, there was an Eldar special character called Nuadhu who rode a Vyper-type chariot into battle. He wasn't a Shining Spear, though.

    Could mean several things. Maaaaaybe it's a dual kit which can make a special character or a generic HQ, riding a modified Vyper which uses the new "Chariot" vehicle rules. They'll want to show those off, and they'll be much better than Nuadhu's old, clunky, half dreadnought half skimmer rules.

    Seems weird that a Phoenix Lord of the Shining Spears wouldn't be riding a good and proper Jetbike, though, it'd also mean he couldn't give them Exarch powers.
