Hoping the Mordian Officer is the Lieutenant, he's a cracker of a sculpt.

Sadly I own enough of the rest from cheap eBay sales, to not really be excited by the teams. I may pick some to support this idea, as the more they sell, the more they'll do in future.

Yeah, that's one of the very small handful of post RT character models I don't have, along with Dork NeDogg.

Depending on the price, I may grab him.

Damn, no tomb kings!?

Price will be a big questionmark, but if they can undercut ebay scalpers, that would be nice. Hopefully they can find a pricepoint where these will be profitable enough to make more of, and cheap enough to entire even non-hardcore-collectors

Nor Brets! A travesty for sure.

Going to have to wait and see. Clearly they aren't going to open up the whole line at once and promise orders within 4 weeks.

What are those Kasrkin Assault Weapons? Are those just the guys with the special weapons, or is there a close combat Kasrkin set I'm not aware of?

It's confirmed that these are metal, right?

I wonder if they'll do any Necromunda or Mordheim batches in this way? Might be too wish-listy but we know they would sell very well.

Also didn't Kid-Kyoto have this exact idea once? Of batch releasing the old sculpts? Someone is watching you :p

If people really wanted to play those games why buy super old and not very good sculpts? You can get way better models from third party dealers for both games. This is assuming you want to play the game and not just live inside nostalgia tho.

Did they say if these M2O things are white metal or Finecast?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that yeah, it is the Melta Gun and Plasma Gun guys.

Witch hunters and Carnival would sell like crazy. In the community familiar to and interested in Mordheim anyway.. Would it be big enough though?

I wasn`t in the hobby, when Necromunda and Mordheim were popular, but I sure am loving those games now.. Maybe that`s why I don`t look upto classic necromunda/most mordheim sculpts.

While not all of those models were great (and some were downright awful), I think some of them are rather characterful and very nice. The redone modular Orlocks are great sculpts, I love the Cawdor models, and The Mordheim Witch Hunters have a few gems in their line, and the metal Mercenaries the Perry Bros did were great. And I would totally buy a few sets of the modular Enforcers if they are to get rereleased.

That said I much still prefer kitbashing most of my Mordheim bands. Necromunda doesn't have so many good options however.

The classic Necromunda Escher and Spyrer ranges would disagree with that blanket statement. Even Cawdor and Van Saar are quite good.

Are we sure these are old stock? I mean, that's not exactly 'made to order' then is it?

These are not old stock, that is correct.

The only mention made of old stock was when I brought up that several of these items are/were still available recently.

Definitely getting some kasrkin to act as either storm troopers or my armored vet squads. Hopefully the price isn't eye watering, those guys are expensive second hand.

Yes, that was my fault for asking about something not totally related!

That is quite underwhelming, disappoint :(

This particular release may be dissapointing but what it says about the project as a whole is exciting. They are going to do old minis, even metal ones and they are going to do a lot, hence breaking it down into factions.

I might be tempted by the Tech Priest.

That's about it for that list, while an Enemy at the Gates style Valhallan army appeals, that's not something I want to do in metal, because that kind of army should be overwhelmingly composed of infantry.

I'm hopeful to snatch up some Kasrkin. Anyone have a picture of that priest? Google was not helpful. Hopefully we'll eventually see things like the 4th/5th Ed Metal horrors and that excellent plasma pistol Chaplain in this program.

Have they mentioned yet if these will be metal or resin? I'd swap my metal Macharius for a resin one any day.

I think I'll just put some money aside, just in case something I really want comes up, that I don't want to miss. There's not really a lot that I think I would want that I don't already have enough of, but there are a few things...Praetorians, Inquisitor stuff, old school Legion of the Damned, that sort of stuff.

What I'd want the most, really, is select bits, rather than whole miniatures, but I don't see that happening.

Hmm. A bit of a blanket statement wouldn't you agree? Lots of the Necromunda range hold up excellently today in my opinion. Escher, new Redemptionists, new Goliath, Cawdor, Enforcers. And on the other side nostalgia and playing the game can live side by side, I am a collector of the original lines and play the game (see my signature). For me most kit bashes or 3rd party options are vastly inferior.

There are some amazing sculpts in those ranges that have yet to be bested. Jes' Escher, for example, are miles ahead of things like the horrible Raging Heroes stuff. The attitude that old = bad is very strange considering there are so many companies still doing metal models of incredible quality.

So much for "only recent plastic stuff that went OOP and nothing beyond 2008". Pretty sure mordian heavy weapons have never been plastic and are older than that

Good news.

Potentially good news. If they charge 20 euros for Macharius, not so much.

Is someone here really calling the Kasrkin "super old and not very good sculpts"?

I've got over 60 of them buggers. They're incredible minis.

Ah. Gotcha.

Any hope they'll be in metal?

I think it was mentioned they'd be in the material originally released, so potentially yes
