Anyone heard anything on them? I really thought they'd come out with PLANET! STRIKE!

As far as anyone knows, they don't exist.

I was told a year ago by a store manager that they will be coming out, and so far his "predictions" have been right. I would expect them to come out with one of the IG follow up mini releases, but I suppose they might wait until the new DH dex comes out (whenever that is).

They are supposed to be released alongside the plastic Rough Riders and the artillery tank boxed set.

You're being serious, right?

I hope you are, because that sounds nice indeed!

IG army of penal legion troopers with storm trooper guards. Yes!

Any clue on a time frame?

shortly after the dark eldar codex but before the squat rerelease.

With the next wave? 2 to 3 years from now?

Hope not, but I have 30 Kasrkin so they'd have to be awsome for me.

Next year.

Great, if they come out next year I'll be able to add 5 boxes to the pile of boxes in my desk with the sing thing to paint next.
But seriously, plastic manticore and hydra tanks would be highly appreciated also.

Spring or summer wave 2 of ig release ,2010 ive been all over the web for theese guys. because my armies are almost all storm troopers.as for the other stuff i dont know but the ig apoc. set due out next is the thunderbolt i have seen the box was due out this winter but they decieded to push it back to spring \summer release. ive been waiting on the plastic thunderhawk gw says they were going to relaese it.it was supposed to be out with planet strike.

Where did you hear any of this?

Plastic. Thunderbolt.

You mean, this thing right:



And not some stupid type in reference to that flying brick that the marines sport.

Believe it when I see it...Logic dictates that plastic stormtroopers will be fairly soon, given the way they are already shelveing the kasrkins and the lack of models in the new codex; I would also expect plastic rough riders sometime fairly soon, as the current ones are possibley the most outdated figures in the entire range, but I haven't heard anything about a plastic thunderbolt, anywhere, and don't see where it fits in with any releases; would it come out at the same time as tyranids? I have heard tale of the plastic thunderhawk, or "flying brick" ( props to Brooke M ) and I could see GW doing one, since IG got the baneblade, orks got the stompa, and tyranids are going to get the trygon, SM's need a mega-model, and that one would make sense. Don't get me wrong, I would love a plastic thunderbolt, but don't see it happening any time soon.
