40K RUMORS: Spearhead Models Latest
So various new kits have been added to the Spearhead model mix since the initial list of kits rumored to be in the June release slot. Here are the latest contenders:
Summary via The Custodian
“Imperial Guard:
Leman Russ/Standard/Vanquisher/Exterminator/Eradicator: Similar to the Demolisher kit the new kit will be capable of creating the remaining Leman Russ variants currently without a model. Will probably increase in price to match the Demolisher kit
Manticore/Deathstrike: Hybrid kit combining the two ‘missile launcher’ vehicles from the codex. Expected to cost the the same as a Demolisher kit.
Eldar:
Fire Prism/Nightspinner: Full plastic Kit. Fire Prism crystal/turret is said to get a redesign making it slimmer and more in line with the Forgeworld MkII superheavy tanks. Nightspinner will have rules within the white dwarf for use in eldar armies. Probable price increase to match the Demolisher Kit.
Support Weapon Battery: Plastic versions of the eldar heavy support weapons. Vibro cannon, D-cannon, and Shadow weaver.
Cobra/Scorpion Superheavy Tank: Small whispers about a possible plastic superheavy for the army. However it is now believed to not be part of this release.
Orks:
AdvertisementWarbuggy/Wartrakk/Skorcha Kit: Vague information on this, however CAD drawings have been seen a good while back but apparently the design has been scrapped for something else.”
~Standard caveats on these, but its interesting to see really rare stuff like the Eldar support batteries in there. There may be some other races getting some vehicle kits repackaged into combo kits such as the Tau Skyray/Hamerhead. Also nice to hear of new designs for the Fire Prism. I can hardly wait for that one. No word on the rules supplement at this time.
