NEW HARLEQUINS – Closer Than You Think?

The great dance may have already begun, and new Eldar Harlequins may just be scant weeks away from release according to multiple sources today.

From all appearances the Harlequin Troope squad has either gone out of stock, or been removed from the European Games Workshop sites, which we all may have come to view as a precursor to a model kit becoming replaced by a new one, or just a gap in manufacturing restocking.

These days the latter seems less likely as GW has what I believe is called ‘Just in Time’ manufacturing where they have new product ready to go when old stock runs out. 

Now what being said too, remember that all new stock for the US (and Europe?) comes from Nottingham, and that if something ‘gets hot’ there can be a several month delay in restocking a product as it has to float over from England.

There is also murmurings of a release date of Feb 7th as well.

Let’s pick up the ‘Dance of Death’ currently in progress somewhere off in the webway.

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