Wow, the [URL="http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Harlequins"]Harlequins[/URL] last saw a full Army List in the [URL="http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Warhammer_40,000:_Compendium"]Warhammer Compendium from 1991![/URL]As most of you will know, the next release for 40K will be Codex: Necrons at the end of January. But...
Source #1
Apply salt as usual, but this comes from my most trusted source. Unless there is anything big I'm unaware of this should be hitting February, or March at the latest.After that come.... Harlequins. Multiple plastic kits and clams over several weeks I think including new jetbike riding ones, is there a current or old name for them? These are called sky weavers.

Harlequin Minis Latest
Harlequin rumors 1-3-2014"My friend has some of the new harlequin sprues and some fantasy stuff that's yet to be released as well! I'm going to see if I can get pics or more details, but he hasn't mentioned jetbikes at all so either they aren't coming out or he doesn't have those bits.
I've seen a blurry phone photo of something and another of a bag filled with sprues I couldn't identify from a quick glance.
6 figures included on the sprue (possibly one is a venom crewman).
No seer or jester on the sprue my source has.
Masks are separate to heads and there are far more masks than needed.
Lots of swords/blades for various poses.
Nearly all are in dynamic leaping/dancing poses on Eldar ruins.
I don't know about (Harlequin's) kisses. Right now I'm just passing on the details as I get them. We discussed it a little last night and think that it's possible there may be another sprue that he doesn't have that comes as part of the box. If that's the case then there may be a jester and seer as well as a troupe master included.
My source has the right contacts at GW and has no reason to make stuff up, but as usual take everything with a pinch of salt."

Via White Dwarf 1-19-2015"There are definitely plans for a plastic harley release though the time frame is not set in stone (nothing at GW is truly fixed in place and room is always allowed to alter the release scheduling to their whims.. only the next couple of weeks are put to print) an example of this error is a mention at the back of a recent WD refering to the the photo on the last page in every issue featuring usually the latest completed project of one of the employees in the "hobby bunker" this reference pointed to the weeks before model but looking back it was NOT the model spoken of shedding a little insight to the subtle changes that can happen on the fly with any periodical publication"

Via [URL="https://www.facebook.com/ForgeTheNarrative?fref=photo"]Forge the Narrative[/URL] 1-26-2015Plastic Jester and Seer should be bringing up the rear of this release. Seeing how they have miniatures, they are the ones without IP risks, while Solitaire, Skyweavers and Starweavers (which also builds a HS alternative) come first.
This might well be a 4 week release, the largest since .. Orks or Space Wolves I believe?
Harlequins are Official - GW Teaser Released
