Though I agree he's got a great body shape and I like that way he's cradling the orb of power! To be fair, a quick google search proves that the 6th ed Grey Seer quickly converts into quite a nice model with it's worst extremities swapped out for parts from modern plastic kits (though to be fair I'd probably replace the staff top too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asensur Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I will say Everchosen+Warriors of Chaos+Daemon Engines+Darkoath. If there is no new barbarian box I will be disappointed. Rest of models seem fine (except Furies) . So I hope there is space for new units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 10 hours ago, Overread said: Yep plus it wouldn't be surprising if the further back you go the more chance there is that a mould has been missplaced or lost. I don't even know if GW keeps a full inventory of masters to make new moulds for - one would assume if they keep the mould then they keep a master to make a new mould from. They also might have some moulds that look like they are quite well worn and thus they could be risky to use. Morathi on a Pegasus was put up for sale when they did the Dark Elves release a year or so back and had to be withdrawn because the mould broke when they started using it. As long as you have the master tins, you can make new master moulds. It really shouldn't be an issue of moulds unless they were so shortsighted that they disposed of the tins.

Overread Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yes but the other element is do cast on demand make enough to make it worth GW investing in a new mould. If its not then there's no point in them spending considerable money and time casting up a new mould for a 1 week order of models that might not turn a profit for the company.

I fully expect that everything that's coming out in made to order are thing they stopped making for non-mold related reasons and they keep the molds in storage. The models we'll probably never see again are the ones whose useful lives ended and GW decided it was time to move on anyway. They may still have the masters, but they'll probably won't go through the trouble of making new molds again. Of course who know which models are in which camp.

Overread Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 We are going to have at least two or three weeks soon of solid 40K releases for Chaos and Space Marines. So a pretty big release - not new edition big but certainly up there with Gloomspite and the like. After that we know that Khorne has a new Battletome. Anything after that point is, as yet, currently totally unknown for AoS. We know what is likely, but we've no idea at all on the specifics. Darkoath might not come till the end of the year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requizen Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So it'll be 40k until the Adepticon Preview, hopefully they show off more Battletomes and maybe a couple nice new models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_blackfang Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I would expect a huge beast with a howdah and suitably terrible Adjectivenoun name like Goredrizzling Spikelephant.

As @Chikout said earlier, there is the (B2B) Gama Trade Show 2019, 11-15 March, so before Adepticon and just after the 40k Chaos and Primaris reveal (Abbadon has to show his ugly face on 4-5 March IIRC) : http://www.gamatradeshow.com Last year at their seminar GW revealed a few interesting things (including an Idoneth "teaser" and some WHU warbands) : https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/03/14/kill-team-doom-lords-van-saar-and-moregw-homepage-post-1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furuzzolo Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Again one of those witch-hunting things but did the Tenebrael Shard just disappear from the shop?

Turgol Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I find it very unlikely that we will have news at this point of Malerion aelfs. But if true... that would be beyond awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Just now, Turgol said: I find it very unlikely that we will have news at this point of Malerion aelfs. But if true... that would be beyond awesome. Fully agreed. I expect them and expect them to be somewhat like the mistweaver and such based on the short stories we've had which have outlined that the typical Aelf for the Shadow Realm (which is basically all Malerion's people) is a misty shadowy shifty type of character who does appear to have the ability to blend into shadows and the like. But I'd be really shocked if there's anything for them right on the horizon now - not with a huge Chaos release confirmed. More likely the moulds broken and sales were too slow to make it worth recasting; or its so close (in mould development terms) that its not worth the investment now; or even that its going into a duel box. IT could even be something else like its product code changing. It's one thing I really want to highlight in GWs' new survey and hope others do, which is that stuff comes and goes and that's fine and stuff going is never a happy bit of news. However it would be great for GW to tell us (in advance whereever possible) what is gone; even if its just to say "hey the moulds broke and we aren't recasting a new one, sorry this model is gone now." We can see its gone, its not something they are hiding, its just not something they highlight. And it leads to a lot of confusion - the Greenskins removal is a prime example of where forthought in communication was significantly lacking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Explorator Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Other than loads and loads of barbarians on foot (just the Shadespire warband gives us greatweapons, javelins and bows for weapon options and I'd hope for handweapon and shield as well), there really isn't much I would expect from Darkoath. Like others have said, it almost seems like a given there'd be some big beast with a howda. There are some things I'd like to see, but that is wishlisting, mostly I'd like a Darkoath specific variation of the warshrine theme (I'd like to see more variations of that in general, can't believe there never was a 40k warshrine Land Raider). As discussed a few pages back, I'd love to see new Chaos Warriors, wether as new variants, re-do of the plastic kit or just plastic Chosen. And more than anything else I hope for none of the markable options to be removed from Slaves (which will most likely come tied up with Darkoath) as I'd hate to see parts of monogod armies invalidated or forsed into unwieldy Beast style batallions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Give me something like this but in plastic and I will be very happy. It is an amazing looking model but I'm pretty terrified of working with so much resin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DantePQ Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Considering Aelves I think it's more likely we wil see Tyrion's Elfs first as GW can "hide"Shadowkin or whatever Malerion's Aelves are called in the shadows for a while and I think AoS really need some good guys - as there are SCE who aren't per se good and that's all Deepkins, DoK, KO aren't really good.

Releasing another dark themed "order" army doesn't make much sens but who knows Dark themed order armie? you must be mistaken my friend technically non of the order armies are dark themed at all (or just a bit). I mean sure we have the deepkins who well steal souls of other races or the daughters of khaine who well have a taste for blood and gore, but this is a way of keeping their society alive or for other unknown purposes. Sure some factions or races may suffer but in the end it is for a greater good which will help the society this faction lives in and yes it does sound a bit like nationalism but in the end all of the factions have it in some way. For example the skaven.... skaven??...😅 never mind my theory, it seems to be wrong Edited February 26, 2019 by Skreech Verminking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prochuvi Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 In my region(spain) is gone the ligth elf,the dark elf and the fyreslayer hero from the warhammer quest.

Releasing another dark themed "order" army doesn't make much sens but who knows I feel like the current 'good guy' factions in Order are about as good as any faction is ever going to get in Warhammer. Stormcast may be flawed but they're about 1000% more genuinely moral than anything in 40k. Equally Seraphon, Sylvaneth, Free Peoples, Dispossessed, and others all seem pretty 'good' in the grand scheme of things. Keep in mind GW loves grimdark moral ambiguity, and even a setting as comparatively light as AOS is still rife with that. If/when Tyrion's elves come along, I wouldn't expect them to be any more unambiguously 'good' than the Stormcast. If anything, their whole existence seems kind of shady - Tyrion taking a bunch of souls and trying to selfishly recreate the long dead civilisation he remembers from a planet that doesn't even exist anymore, along the way accidentally creating an entire society of endlessly suffering soul vampires who he cast off and abandoned... I mean, he barely has the moral high-ground over Morathi at this point, and she's a blood-crazed snake monster. Plus we're almost guaranteed a 'Slaanesh breaks free' storyline, and when it happens, whose fault will it be? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
