Feels like GW need to get some Blood Ravens decals out.

Not until there's Raven Guard, White Scars, the various Forge Worlds, T'au Septs, etc...

Blood Ravens are the backseat for really being in desperate need of transfers. Give them shoulderpads first.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Or FW could just bring back the transfers for them that they had a while back.

You will definitely see them before they do any more Knight ones from HH Conquest.

Keep the dream alive:

In all seriousness, I think they've had some sort of a problem with the Vyronii transfers - I remember they said that the transfers had been sent for printing back in July 2016!

**BrookM**

IIRC the designer was being annoying about it.

They are so pretty. I just need two sheets. JUST TWO! Forge World is killing me.

Do we have said designers email? I need to have a word.

'tis Holly Goodwin I believe, Jes Goodwin's daughter. She's designed most of the newer Forgeworld Transfers

**Verviedi**

Agreed that these release delays are

ing absurd. The decals are done, why haven't they been released?

I dunno, there are a lot of Blood Ravens fans around without that chapter getting much of a lore mention let alone rules in the tabletop game. I think it's nice they gave Polnareff a model.

It's just annoying and boring, when 90% of their releases are space marines of various flavors. The rest 10% being Hobbit and Blood Bowl. When was the last time we saw them release anything new for Tyranids? Dark Eldar? Eldar? Guard? Necrons? Orks?

Could have not said it better...

For ork was that 2008 for the last release?
And a lot of these models are not even supported now...

Didn't they bring her in to sort out the problems - lack of dedicated designer & reliable printer?

They had the sheet done. It was previewed. Like... what is left to do but print it? Send it to the folks who did the Primaris ones or the BA ones?! It just needs to be PRINTED. It is maddening.

**Galas**

This is why you never should show a product untill is already done. Theres thousands of reasons to not release a product even if is already done to be produced in máss scale.
You end with people pissed.

Her transfers are pretty damn good, not sure it's fair to call it nepotism.

Meh. I don't really care about GW's special marinebros all that much, I'd much rather see FW stepping in to correct GW's egregious pruning of choice & customisation for characters by providing "generic" models with tons of options and rules to match than see them just produce more mono-loadout existing characters.

That sounds like a terrible use of a small-run resin shop. They'd either end up with wildly expensive kits that nobody wants, or popular kits that they can't meet demand for. Low-run resin is much more suited to the special characters and fixed kits they're doing.

**BrookM**

Nevermind, not worth it.

**RiTides**

Let's try to get back on topic to things that are actually being released, guys, instead of endlessly cycling through the things we're all waiting on

Thanks

**Gamgee**

Ah time for the weekly where is Fires of Cyraxus comment lol. Seriously though warhammer world is coming up and I hope we see the actual release of the new Tigershark which was teased ages ago.

**RiTides**

Actually no... see my comment above please

You mean DoWIII, or the original game from 14 years ago?

The fact that it's taken them this long to do any level of cross promotion with DoW is shocking.

Games Workshop: Striking whilst the iron is fossilised!

**Verviedi**

I'd love models for Taldeer, Bluddflag, Macha, Gorgutz, and Kais. Of course, XENOS VERBOTEN, but it's good to dream.

**Slayer-Fan123**

I'd be good with the DoW Ork characters.

Silly Verviedi, those aren't power armor characters! We can't have FW make those, they would have to take time away from making yet more unneeded characters and tanks for Horus Heresy!

But seriously, Kais model when?

**Verviedi**

I just wish there was a better way of expressing my emotions than voting for Space Marines in every "what army should be squatted" poll.

There is a Macha in the works by a smaller Russian Company. Lifted a pretty nice model straight from the game I believe. Artel on Facebook.

Got a really nice "Not Commissar Cain, and Jurgen" pair, as well as a chapter master Gabriel Angelos.

Please GW:

Spoiler:

(But after Greyfax I can live without her)

**Verviedi**

I completely forgot she existed. Do it. Inquisition needs more cool stuff.

Can you name a non-SM char whose as high profile as Angelos? If I was doing a character series Angelos would be a good first pick too. course Ciaphas Cain would be a pretty high priority too. (although I'd be concerned people would find him under whelming, given the man used a las pistol and chain sword)
