I dont think you will see those ever released because the form of the Eldar vehicles even from 40k look no where near what these prototype models look like. I would say you own a selection of rare non-released models, the only ones I could see being released if ever are the Psi titan kit and the Exodites, there were also bombers in that selection which are also not available in general. I dont know if they were used for ork releases afterwards but I doubt it.
As for having all the models, there are a lot of models that get released one way or another that are not officially released. I got from a friend an ork traktor beam model in metal that was only available via US mail order and only by phone as they werent on the online shop so who knows what different models are out there for Epic that havent been released.

Doug,
Thanks for that.
I also bought the exodites from GW USA mail order. They are terrific figures.
The other Eldar figures are interesting although some like the new falcon were very square at the front. It did come with a different range of turrets.I will be interested to see if any of them are released as part of the Eldar range for Epic A.
I will be interested to see just how many of the different marks of vehicles i have once the hardware book is complete.I always thought i had the full range. Now i am not so sure.
Thanks again ,
Lyle.----- Original Message -----

Hi Lyle,
The Eldar vehicles and fliers you speak of were models of what the new Eldar vehicles would have looked like for the Epic40k version at the time. I think amongst those was the Phoenix Bomber but they went with the different design, plus I am sure there were a few eldar tanks in that selection as I have them myself. Also available at the same time were the Exodites, and they will never be released officially unless GW have a change of heart. Nice models and worth the expense.
The description of the mounts and titan bits are definately the Psi Titan. This was a mail order release that was probably limited in the UK. I got my as a special promotion from the UK mail order and at the time I didnt have the money to buy the Exodites that were also described by the Troll, although I should have got them too. Instead I waited til they were available via US mail order
Hope that helps
Doug

Hi everyone,
Games Workshop USA also released a number of Eldar vehicles including fliers that were not generally released for retail sale.They were certainly not available from GW UK.I can try to list them if anyone is interested.
I also have a special release from Games Workshop UK that must have occured 10 years or so ago. It is a large gun mount decorated with miniature buildings on each side. The gun in the mount was large and was claimed to be for fighting chaos demons.The gun mount(that looks a bit like a small cathedral) fits into the 4 mount points on the carapace of the old beetle warlord titan.It came with a special titan head that has a small gun coming out of the mouth and 2 larger guns, 1 on each side of the head.Is this the Psi Titan that is being referred to or is it another separate release?.
The hardware book looks great .The listings for the gorgons is incomplete.There have been 3 types (marks) of gorgon released.The second picture is not of a gorgon but one of the new siege infantry vehicles.This book will be a great reference and has reminded me just how many variations of the same model(vehicle) i have bought!! No wonder iam always broke!.
Thanks again for all the great work done by the group.
Cheers, Lyle

ok as I know the epicollector site well I have now a good idea of what you want. I have a lot more than whats on his site and will take photos with a white background as I find the detail is much better especially with the metal infantry. Sayth who runs the Epicollector site is normally quite busy but what I can do is take pictures of the relevant models on his site as well as the others he doesnt have. That should be a problem and I should have the first batch completed Saturday and Sunday the next batch. I cant do it any earlier as my week is full. I will also label them appropriately so you shouldnt have to do too much.
The models you are after are hard to find and hardly show up at all on Ebay. The Psi titan requires the beetleback warlord sprue because the parts for the Psi titan were just unreleased weapon mounts and head piece, again another hard model to find. I wish you luck.

I'm following a strict policy of "unpainted is better that nothing" :-)
If I may ask a favor: take close-up shots of the infantry. These things
are small enough to be difficult to appreciate even when you're holding
them in your hands; showing them through pictures is difficult.
I was hoping to use images from the Epicollector site
(
http://www.epicollector.com/), but I got no reply when asking from
permission. You can have a look at the Epic model catalog there,
especially SM infantry; those are the kind of pictures I'm after.
Incidentally.... I was mostly away from the Epic world when the US
archive sold the last unreleased Epic models. If anyone has the
following models and wants to sell / trade, drop me a line:
Eldar Exodites (any model)
Psi - Titan (the metal parts; by the way, where you supposed to use
them with some sprue?)
Imperial Dropship
