Darnok over at Warseer posted this by an anonymous source:

Concerning Chaos:

- the book is done and almost at the printers
- an Iron Warriors character (?) has been seen, with a huge servo harness
- possible new Obliterators (plastic or Finecast?)
- painted versions of all 4 cult terminators have been sighted - could be conversions though
- plastic Plaguebearers on round bases have been sighted

Also Hastings confirmed Chaos to be in the 6th edition starter set, including a Plastic Dreadnought and traitors/cultists

Why would they make more Oblits only to put them in Finecost?

Please plastic. Really please.

Please, plastic nice looking oblits. Please, plastic 1K Sons. Please, plastic every major legion. Please, new Bezerkers.

To show their ongoing support of finecast products ?
Oblits are groups of 3, right? Thus finecast isn't bad if other more numerous choices are plastic...

Ahhhhhh yeah! Plastic Chaos dread with cultists!

I bet E-Bay will be flooded with them soon enough.

Because we, their customers, demand it? Surely every company wanting to make money will listen to their fan base?? Oh wait a minute ....

Finally some plaguebearers if true. Wish they kinda did more then sit on objectives though

Agreed - especially the Berzerker bit, the current ones are rubbish - and Forgeworld bits are expensive. My only question is - exactly when will this happen?

Plastic cultist hm?

Well I doubt they will be good as my renegade miltia but I will definetly buy some cultist if/when they come out.

Thanks for starting another Chaos thread, Kroot. Are you planning on adding any of the more reliable info from the previous thread? Hastings did confirm plastic Raptors. Also, Schell posted abut renegade guard being in the starter a ways back. Seems like he had good info too.

Anyway, Can't wait for a proper codex to rebuild my Death Guard.

Well... I dunno about you, but I am sensing a theme here.

Plastic Oblits seems likely to me.

So Cultists make it back into the codex? Nice.

If true (and if not conversions/Forge World) then this is excellent news, since it suggests we're likely to get proper rules for cult Terminators in place of all that icon rubbish.

The rest I can take or leave (though resculpted Obliterators and Plague Marines wouldn't be unwelcome).

But we all know they are going to tone them down to the point where you don't really use them as the new HS options will outshine them.

Chaos Stormraven?

Couldn't care less about Iron Warriors.

We need plastic oblits! Finecast oblits would be BAD.

Bought time we got plastic plague bearers!

And cultists ... I honestly didn't think they would do it. All and all this is pretty good news. Hopefully they don't nerf the Oblits and make them 90 points each in the new book.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for plastic cult troops ...

Can not wait,,Iron Within,,Iron Without!!

I have to say, I'm not too convinced we will see plastic plaguebearers for the Chaos Space Marines release. It doesn't make much sense. Assuming Daemons will stay a separate codex, which they should, it seems more of a Daemons model release, as it's the one troops unit they don't have in plastic. If we are to assume they won't drastically expand the unit options for the next Daemons codex, they have just a handful of units to update, and it seems plaguebearers would fit in better there. Also, keep in mind just because a unit has been spotted doesn't necessarily mean it's up for release soon.

All that said, I really hope I'm wrong. Lack of plastic plaguebearers is the only thing preventing me from starting a Daemons army, and I'd definitely use a bunch with my Death Guard as well.

I don't want plastic oblits....... it would make them to common a choice and they SHOULD NOT BE. except possibly Iron warriors or possibly tzeentch armies.....

It's not like everything plastic becomes common.

They might mean Plague Marines. *shrug*

I sincerely doubt "plastic kits for every major legion" because goddamn, that's nine kits, all with very niche appeal.

That was me wishlisting, and by major legions I meant the legions of the four gods. Bugger Chaos Undivided.

I have 60 Forgeworld Cultists. Damn you GW if these ones look better.

As nice as it would be for every last unit to be plastic it isn't practical and GW doesn't have resources. I would be ecstatic if the were plastic, but it's not a realistic desire when it would be at the price of waiting indefinitely for a new vehicle or dreadnought kit or a cult legion relegated to finecast or metal hybrid models until the next book.

I hope they happen in plastic... I'd imagine it being like the bloodcrushers... But there are enough other things to look forward to.

I hope they do nice plastic obliterators. Never got the metal ones, cuz I didn't want big metal ones and I never really liked the look that much. I thought about converting my own from terminators, but I was afraid they'd just look like terminators with extra guns.

I'm keeping my cash saved. Been wanting a new Khorne/chaos part for my army a while now but been waiting for a new dex and new mini's.

Or more likely one kit with many uses ah la grey knight infantry boxes

Well, I think as a rule GW makes finecast for HQ/Elite/FA/HS models and plastic for troupes.
