So the news is GW is doing some kind of system to order OOP models. No details yet.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/704546.page
It almost certainly WILL NOT be like it was 10 years ago when you could order (almost) any model ever and they'd cast it up.
And it almost certainly won't be cheap.
But it will be something.
So what's on your wish list?

Post by: H.B.M.C.
Just Necromunda stuff. I doubt it'll happen, but the Cawdor range is one I'm missing a few from, I never got the original Ash Waste Nomads when they came out, and some Goliath/Orlocks would be good conversion fodder using the stuff in the GCS boxes.

I reckon it'll be confined to plastics initially. If so, then the original Land Raider and Predator would be nice. Or even the original Ork Battlewagon...
If it's expanded to include metals then things will get expensive

Just all the BFG. I need some Ad Mech, some Grand Cruisers, some Craftworld Eldar, and some Rogue Traders.
If plastic only, I'll still take 4 packs of IN cruisers.

Post by: Kid_Kyoto
Well I'm waiting on one ebay shipment, then my Space Fleet collection is done (Empire only, because the other 2 lines suck).
So what else?
I agree with HMBC on Necromunda, bring back a line a month, sell them as single lots for $50~$100 and I'll be very happy. Those are some of the best human minis GW ever made. Do the same with the metal IG, just a set of every model in the regiment.
And the nostalgic boy in me wants the old Rogue Trader adventurers back. The IG guard, marines, and Realms of Chaos champions/thugs/beastmen too. But the Adventurers first.
A while back someone suggested an internal kick starter for GW, put up some options, let people commit with a preorder and whenever it hits the mark cast them up. That would be fantastic.

I’d have to check the old catalogs for stuff I desperately need, but have forgotten about.
Some of the monopose marines, to spice up my army. Multi-part plastic is nice, but lacks the character of a cohesive sculpt. Some of the not-so-old veteran marines always tempted me, but not enough to grab a whole box (most of which had untenable wargear choices). But also some of the RT era guys I don’t have.
If they are re-doing them in metal, some aspect warriors for my eldar. I’d get a squad of striking scorpions easy. Probably some of the others as well.
I need one old metal warp spider to finish a squad. Same with a wraithguard. I’ve also got one lone meal jetbike, who could use 2 friends just to field a legal squad.

Ah, who am I kidding? Brets have been squatted harder than squats and are just as unlikely to be listed on this new service.

What I'd like to see (i.e. have):
*metal Genestealers (especially their original arms)
*Confrontation gangs
*Inquisitor Genestealer and Magus/Hybrid upgrade kit
From the next list I own most of the models I really want, but just for the sake of good miniatures and to see them on the other side of the table:
*Necromunda
*Muties
*Henchmen of the Inquisition

They sound the same as the current snap-fit termagants... https://www.games-workshop.com/en-AU/Tyranid-Termagants They just come with Fleshborers, no 2 part heads, decent models and when you have 30+ of the buggers it's hard to tell the difference. Much quicker to assemble than the multipart ones. The only downside is they don't come with a Ripper swarm and I like me some Rippers. I've always disliked the size of the current termagants, they're supposed to be weedy rules-wise and yet the models are huge, in that sense I prefer the 2nd edition or even rogue trader termagants.

There is a lot that I would love to see. Some of the older plastic Space Marine stuff and all of the Catachan stuff made available. Sadly, I don't think this will happen. I'm not trying to be a debbie-downer, but I am fairly positive that GW found a large cache of these miniatures laying in the back corner of one of their warehouses and with put a marketing spin on it that these are made-to-order. It wouldn't do to make it look like you just lost a shed load of miniatures and just now found them. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, of course.

I don't get why people find it so hard to believe that they just spend a few hours playing with a spin caster to make more models. That used to be the way all the minis were made. It's not difficult. Spin Casting metal is just not as cost effective as plastic for mass production. Taking some old molds out of storage and using them for a small run is easy.

Because of opportunity cost. There are probably much better things they could be using that production time for, that's why I don't think they are actually being produced.

They also use the same machines for Finecast - they said one of the cheif reasons they chose the material was because they could use their metal spin casters. Even then, spin casters are cheap compared to HIPS machines. One man garage operations can operate and maintain them, so keeping a spin caster or two operation isn't going to do much for their financials in any case.

Of course I do, but I can tell you that those metals don't sell like crazy, so I would assume their stock would last for quite some time and then they would be removed.
It doesn't matter how many they sell, they still need a spin caster in order to produce them as well as the Finecast models. Nor are they models that have sat untouched in the pick bins for a decade or more. If a product sat that long untouched, it would have been scrapped and the metal reused for something that did sell.

I wouldn't object to the old Eternal Warrior line making an appearance.

You missed that GW just re-released the Kasrkin on as M2O on Oct 15, and then extended the order period for Kasrkin? Oops.

As a limited deal, the opportunity cost is pretty limited - it's one guy running a machine that would otherwise sit idle. It's not like they're losing pops on any of their plastic production equipment by firing up the spin caster for another go...
You may very well be right. I'm actually surprised they still have the spin caster, as one would think they would try and liquidate it to free of assets on the financials.
You do realize they still have metal models available in the online store?

They also use the same machines for Finecast - they said one of the cheif reasons they chose the material was because they could use their metal spin casters.
Even then, spin casters are cheap compared to HIPS machines. One man garage operations can operate and maintain them, so keeping a spin caster or two operation isn't going to do much for their financials in any case.
That, I honestly didn't know. I thought Spin Casting equipment was much more of an investment in capital. Thanks for educating me!

On the scale of an individual working out of his garage, moving up from hand pours, the purchase of a spin caster is a significant investment in capital.
On the scale of a multi-million dollar corporation? Not so much.

I can't think of any 40k models that I'd want.. most of the old metal models aren't worth the pewter it takes to produce them.

It depends on the model.
For man-sized models that were designed and sculpted as a single piece, or two, the metal models have superior anatomy, integrity and flow. They are rightly superior to the parts with individual legs, torso, head and arms.
For vehicles, such as the old SM Landspeeder and various walkers, not so much. Those are better in plastic.

Basically anything on this page, along with any of the other Necromunda models they see fit to bring back.

When I considered getting a spin caster for myself, it was in the $5,000 dollar range. A bit much for a hobby, but a small investment for a company.

Weebles! Eggs with legs!
As "joke" armies go, it's hard to beat Squats on their little kid Big Wheel Trikes!

If they put the Squat Exo-Armour up, I think I'd pick up a unit of them.

Orion and his hounds. Just 'cos he's the only Wood Elf unit I never got around to purchasing, and I've kind of regretted it since he was discontinued.

So... Diazettes! Should I get another set?
Or wait for the metal Horrors to come out later?
Decisions, decisions!

Would be good for some of the really hard to find LOTR models to get a go.
Things like Feral Uruk Hai, Morgul Stalkers and Dol Amroth foot knights

Wouldn't mind seeing short runs of old Warmaster armies or Mordheim or BFG or Epic or Inquisitor or even Gorkamorka models!

Is there any news on Made to Order since they asked for Chaos/Marines?
I wonder if this may be more irregular than we expected or even stillborn.

Not sure about officially, but the last talk I heard was that wave 2 would be going up this weekend.
