Hi folks

Have a read of this thread over on the epic forum Shining Spear thread.

So as you can see i will be having some extra shining spear exarchs knocking around. Any body want to trade for some?

If i still dont get the right number of normal shining spears i want, then i'll be in need of bog standard shining spears.

Hmmm, I suppose I'd better check mine, I hadn't realised that there were any Exarchs in the blister so A) I didn't get any or B) I've not looked closely enough, either is possible and I've not even opened the second blister yet :D
What are the differences between standard SS and Exarch?

The Exarchs got some sort of hheadgear. I also thought those were the norm at first but then I discovered the SS with regular "pointy 'eads" helmets.
I'm writing up an E-mail to ask GW for replacements today.Not that I have a big problem with this. Using the Exarchs as regular SS isn't any problem to me but after all they ARE mispackaged... :;):

Cheers! :)

If that's the case I suspect that I've ended up with a whole load of Exarchs as well. will have to double check.

So there are 3 types in the box ?  One Exarch and two versions of the troops ? ???

As far as I can tell, yes. The variation on the standard SS are minimal. Just a small addition to the carapace of the bike.

Cheers!:)

Right a little after easter i'll sort out who wants what if any one, Neal Hunt and Splash(?) have got claim to some, but i am sure there will be plenty to go around.

L4:
The shining spears come 3 to a sprue (are they still called sprues even though they are metal?), each slightly different, but only with a different spear or 'bump' on the canopy.
The exarchs also come 3 to a sprue but i cant spot any differences what so ever.

Currently i have got 10 shining spear exarch sprues and 2 shining spear  sprues. With GW kindly posting another 3 blister packs, which will be here some time after easter, in an effort to get me some actual shining spears.

I really hope i dont end up with 25 exarch sprues and 5 shining spear sprues.   ???

Right folks its after Easter and GW have delivered the freebie SSpear blisters to me. And this is what i have ended up with in total:

24 SSpear exarch sprues
6 SSpear sprues

Im going to keep 4 exarch sprues for myself and obviously the SSpears so that leaves a grand total of 20 SSpear exarch sprues up for grabs.

Unfortunately i've already said a mate i game with has 1st refusal and Neal Hunt and Splash have some too. However any body want any that are left form an orderly line please.

Trading wise i dont think i need much else for my armies, however things i may be interested in:

Warmaster stuff (heard its a good game but i dont have an army yet)
Necromunda - escher/delaque in particular
40k - metal terminators (yeah im a Deathwing player)
epic - erm?

I believe I have one Delaque figure (a ganger iirc) in my Necromunda boxes Doc, would you like to trade it for a few sprues?
