Damn,my heart beated faster when he said DE for the first 10 seconds and then i thought

"nah isn't gonna happen anytime soon"

No killa kans?

Can't wait for new buggies and cannons, though

OK, this changes my plans for this year army building.

GK army is prob a go now, scratch my Necrons in the fall.

5 Thawks are being grabbed when they are released.

My GF's Daemon army just got a bit larger if all these plastic kits come to light.

I heard it took them so long because everytime they saw a new privateer realease they thought: "wow, that's so awesome! We have to do that with Dark Eldar", and started from scratch. I also heard there's a new Dark Eldar trilogy on the way.

Indeed. Though we don't need them as desperate as new buggies and tracks.

Yet more DE rumors. Like most other people I'm not holding my breath, but would be nice if/when it ever happens.

New crisis suit!

I'm skeptical. Seems a tad too wighlisty.

Little wishlist-like, but it'd be nice to see some of that. Witch Hunters and Daemonhunters are crying out for some plastics. I've just watched my brother putting together a WH army, and the number of metal models is crazy.

As for the Predator, it's a good kit but the sponsons need fixing- they're extremely fragile (to the point of I don't bother moving it on one of my Predators, feels like it'd snap instead of move). Even just adding a second sponson plate underneath, and making the central support bar for the weapons a little thicker would help.

But yeah, the only 'real' reason I can think of the Predator getting re-done is for BA release. While I doubt we'll see a 'new' Predator (a radical change would require an overhaul of all Rhino-based vehicles), it'll probably be a recut sprue, with extra weapon options (Heavy Flamer sponson options and Twin-linked Assault Cannon turret) to allow BA players to make a Baal.

Here's hoping it's true, I refuse to pay for a Baal Predator as is, the price is ridiculous.

Who is the source for all this exactly? GW haven't displayed greens of many of these things or made any formal announcement through their website or tradeshows. But they apparently don't mind inviting someone to look and giving "permission to mention some of the items" to people online.

Putting together a witch hunter army consists of gluing on the backpacks!

Until you get to the Exorcist ._. Why that needs to be so many metal parts is beyond me.

Hello, my name is Penny, Penny Tentengine, prepare to bleed for my construction and then cry as I collapse on frequent occasions once fully painted...

All I can say is I'm glad I'm not the one collecting WH The Exorcist is one of the few models where I'd rather convert it myself (or even buy the FW kit).

Hmm, I just hope if the plastic GK turns out to be true, it'll eventually lead to plastic Sisters. Man I'd kill for some of those right about now.

Also the other half is desperate for a full sisters army, she just won't work with an army made up of 5 or 6 poses.

Extra Ork plastics are always nice though.



edit - Just been walking over at Seer, and found the thread in question, the actual poster is called Stickmonkey with 60 posts to his name, (doesn't mean he's making it up, but I'm always aware of low posters, big claims thing) but anyways, this is the most interesting thing I found him saying, it does seem even more wishlisting now, but I thought I'd share as I know theres a few folks here who are waiting for any info on this.

Also looks like there will be another Mystery Box style campaign later this year. But I honestly don't know what it will be...I asked about Warhammer Quest, and was told specifically that license is with someone else now. (hopefully FFG) So yall's guess is as good as mine.

Okay so now I'm gonna do a bit of wishlisting.. *slaps self* but I so hope this is right, FFG would re-release the game properly, with the warriors packs, expansions, if not extra new ones as well. Tbh that is the best thing that could ever happen to Quest, and the FFG aren't allowed to do plastics thing died with Horus Heresy, so hope is there.

You realize the easiest/cheapest/plastic-est way to make an Excorcist is to use a Whirlwind and paint it "Sisterly" right?

EDIT:

Also, anybody think the falcon is super dead if they release a Wave Serpent/Prism box?

I often daydream about making the entire Eldar army multi-part plastic kits. Yes, I'm such a nerd I fantasize about multi-part plastic kits.

I'd love to get a plastic Manticore kit, the Forgeworld one doesn't seem to me to be worth its price, and as an older kit, I've heard it has its fair share of problems regarding fit and so forth. Chimera/Manticore, as mentioned in the big list on page 1, doesn't seem particularly likely to me, but I could see it happen, especially if IG also gets a Basilisk/Medusa/Whatever combo artillery kit (which seems probable).

Waaay too much of a wishlist for the most part.

New crisis suits? Crap, I just finished painting my 12th one; I don't need any more for my army.

well, he didn't see killa kans, but a little birdie mentioned them.....

nervous to see what "concept" they came up with for WH.

Yeah, the only problem I have with that is that it'll look like a Whirlwind, not an Exorcist. The FW kit at least has a different looking launcher. Anyway, it's my brother collecting WH so he can put up with representing Exorcists

Also, just saw plastic Fire Prism on that list. When I used to collect Eldar, that was my main gripe. The prism cannon parts were so heavy that the flyer base couldn't take the weight.

Well I wouldn't quit the Necrons. I am guessing Necrons would be before Grey Knights. See I said GK, not Inquistion since the rumours are GK and SoB will be seperate from the Inqution now. So who knows what will happen to the Inquition now.

Nice! I must say I am pretty excited to see the "god-specific" CSM sprues, as well as plastic Daemons.

The new SM stuff IS most likely Blood Angels, and its good to see that GW is actually showing a little love for the few DE fans out there. Hopefully that is the new codex...

I expect any SM variants to be done as part of the Blood Angels release ala the Dark Angels vehicle sprue.

I would love to see Dark Eldar released but am not holding my breath.

If they DO have new tau crisis suits.. they could be used for my Tau Shas'O bodyguards ;p

This is just wishlisting but.... Would it not be the beez neez (old timey for win!) if they released a ork Kommandos/Tankbustas box in the line of the loota box?

1hadhq wrote:Also a plastic venerable would be fine but somehow interfere with FW...

Whether or not a release would bother FW has never been a consideration. The FW Tau Piranha, for example, was only out a comparitively short while before GW decided to include it in the codex and release a plastic model for it.

I suspect in a lot of case FW is used to 'test the waters' before splashing out with the expense of plastic tooling.

Looks better too, IMHO

Regular Ork boyz come with tankbusta bomms and rokkit launchas in the box. As for kommandos, you can just use the burna gasmask heads and knives from the boyz box. I think it'd be pretty redundant.

Since FW does produce ven dreads for some time and isn't done with this line yet, plus actually announces a space wolf
and a raven guard dread, i have to disagree.

The baneblade/shadowsword and valks were pulled back/renamed or switched to upgrade kits.

As as "subcompany", FW is compatible in models and catalogue, not competitive with its " mother" GW....

Wow, I could not disagree more. I would love a tankbusta/kommando box, I was just thinking that today in fact. Pulling bits and pieces out of other sets to kitbash is not the same as having a set.
