YoghurtKobold Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 But did they promise to release every single metal mini they have ever produced even when it was phased out of production during the existence of WHFB? Because that is the case of wood elf treeman. Of course they did not. They need to bring back some metal models because without them armies won’t be really playable. What is Bretonnia without questing or grail knights, trebuchet or battle pilgrims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not all metal minis would fall into the same category. Edited December 21, 2023 by Ejecutor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Regarding the treeman, as someone stared, it's most likely to be on a 50mmx50mm Base or something similar and the plastic one will be hard to fit on something so small.

Nezzhil Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 1 hour ago, YoghurtKobold said: But releasing a mini costs money. Plus it takes production and storage space. I seriously doubt that many people will buy old metal model when there is a newer official plastic one available en masse. And GW must be aware of that. So rereleasing metal treeman can not be a sound business decision. In other words I do not trust those released images that they really show us what is coming back. You are assuming that all the models are gonna be permanent at the store, at as we know only Tomb Kings and Bretonnia are going to get their stuff at the store at launch. We didn't know if when Greenskins and Empire go out a few old kits of Bretonnia and Tomb Kings would rotate as these happens with LotR old kits.

I am still waiting for the boxes that were supposed to arrive on the 16th, and even worst, I am waiting more than a month for a box from their online catalog. I think this is what happened to mine. I asked for it shipped to my home, and probably should have picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really infuriating with these delays, they still don't have the Flesh Eater box at my local place and I could've been already playing!

Strangely I got a lot of what the heck reactions here last time I lamented this. I‘m sorry for all those that wanted their christmas gobbo, that‘s a total fail on GW‘s part and I‘m tired of not calling it what it is. Also I hate that I still have no Nurgle harbinger. I‘d never keep him obviously but I wanted to paint him up and give him to a good mate (he doesn‘t invest much time in painting and wanted me to paint something for him for ages…). Ebay is the solution I guess - but it feels strange that a new, amazing mini doesn‘t get produced in satisfying quantities and a timely manner.

To be fair, I would not have had time to paint it in time anyway and they are for me, not for a gift. It was just an observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it‘s no real tragedy but it was entirely doable. Failure needs to be punished! 🥰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Klatz Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I’m going with Darkoath because they have quite a bit of variety with those fur boots and it feels rather stubby to me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
