    If the 2019 culling is anything to go by, until after half of them are no longer available worldwide.

    Nethermaze reads like really tangled pubic hair 😅

    I think I have Thundrik's Briar Queen Zarbag's Godsworn Hunt Eyes of the Nine Evocators

    Only the models that have overlap with 40k are staying, but not even all of those (which is weird). Even the Stormcast heads have gone (no longer listed). I hope something like the dread Saurian, the Troggoth Hag and the Mournghul find their way to plastic

    That Admiral is the first infantry hero model I'm buying in several years. Big part of that is the miniature Ironclad.
  6. zilberfrid
    Oh yeah, I remember. Sad times.

    The attention given to Legends is minimal, so you have writing and balancing styles from 1st edition to now. You do get fun stuff like the Hellcannon being allowed in Barak Thryng.

    They say 2023 is an Age of Sigmar year, and yes, that is warranted, but how much can we really expect in the year of 40k 10th edition? I think I'll have to get me some skinkies to use as kobolds, that works fine with these, but they'll probably grow in the redesign.

    I'd choose Nighthaunt or FEC. FEC has really nice lore wholly distinct from their models, but they are prime candidates for kitbashing. They imagine themselves as kings and queens, lords and nobles, so if you can build that duality into dioramas, it would be great! From one side, we see the creature it has become, but the other half of the model looks noble (perhaps from Freeguild Greatswords, with the bigger ones Stormcast) and a view from that side paints a different picture. Dreadscythe Harridans are cursed to have their hands replaced by scythes and driven to bloodlust, while aware of what they are doing but unable to stop it, all because they were healers in life, denying souls to Nagash.

    Pthalo pigments and cadmium are certainly also in acrylic. Source: my collection. The medium does not matter for most of these.
  11. zilberfrid
    If we look at artist's paints; lead, cadmium, cobalt, several borates, arsenic, mercury, antimony, copper, nickel and manganese are on the menu. As far as I know, minipaints are nontoxic (not so sure about kimera though), but take care when branching out.
  12. zilberfrid
    That is a great idea! I'd also love Votann vs Tyrranids, so the in-lore reason they were gone at first is accented. But then I would buy Sisters, Orks, Eldar, Votann, Tau vs anyone but space marines (spicy or vanilla). I already have 5 space marines, and variety or design isn't great enough to warrant more.
  13. zilberfrid
    They probably want all the options in their specific colour of space marine.
  14. zilberfrid
    Oh, I did this a lot. But Cadmium Yellow changed that.
  15. zilberfrid
    Man, Nighthaunt are fun to paint.

    If you want stuff for a modeling purpose: Greatswords General on Griffin Demigryphs Celestian hurricanum These are good models with a high chance of being removed. Warmage are also decent (but covered by the Griffin and Hurricanum). Freeguild Guard, Handgunners and General on foot also exist as do Fanatics, but they are not good. From a longevity perspective it is hard to make recommendations, because so much of the range is on the cusp of being dumped. There are non-AoS recommendations as well, Skitarii Rangers with a headswap and minor filling make excellent handgunners, and Cawdor Necromunda models are quite useful as well. For non-GW, you can't go wrong with Frostgrave Soldiers and Wizards 1 and 2, but would need muskets if you want handgunners.

    Almost everything from forgeworld, about 20 boxes from now CoS in 2019, chaos familiars, the original Silver Tower heroes, quite a few Greenskin units, some things in Death. I think about 40 boxes in total. I expect the rest of Forgeworld, Mortis Engine and quite a few resin or metal things are also on the chopping block.
  18. zilberfrid
    About 20 boxes of factions that are now CoS had been put on last chance to buy. Most of those were already "temporarily unavailable". GW obscured that status purposefully, up to the Warshrine going briefly to "no longer available" before being put to "temporarily unavailable" until they finally sent out the mail. Just before the culling I tried to buy two kits that were not listed as unavailable, but they just were not added to my cart, whichever way I tried.
  19. zilberfrid
    I started using artist's paints intermittedly, those are not all safe.
  20. zilberfrid
    Kharadron are still my favourite, even though I dont think I have purchased anything this year. I did back the Zilvren Skyhold project, so even if GW ignores its existence, the aesthetic still lives. Gitz and Sylvaneth are next on the list.
  21. zilberfrid
    Wanderers feel weird to me, the Sisters of the Thorn are sold in stores. EDIT before posting, they have gone to webstore only. That's too bad, they are good looking models.
  22. zilberfrid
    Yeah, they mostly have young, fit, Caucasian women while male models get a lot more diversity. But they at least include female models for humans and elves (and Tau) in kits now. Gitz might be relatively safe, they haven't dumped any FW models for a while now as far as I know.
  23. zilberfrid
    I would caution that any FW stuff is on shaky ground. Most of what was available for AoS has been removed without even a community post.
  24. zilberfrid
    I started it, but had no time to finish yet: I have no idea whether the FW Troll hag is still legal
  25. zilberfrid
    Get the Start Collecting while it still exists, it will probably be changed for a Vanguard at some point. With a little bit of greenstuffing, you can make six Troggoths from the set, including double headed ones.
