Faints...

I've just read that post on Heresy Online and I think it just means that the Cairn Wraiths and Banshees are being released in Finecast.

Somebody wake up Sersi (deliberate use of quote from Aliens )

What is this Heresy Online you speak of? In the Warseer thread that Kroothawk is referencing; someone posted the serial numbers and prices for the Wraith and Banshee models; and they have the same coding as the plastic Necromancer, baring the final digit. Not conclusive, but hey salt...and stuff.

Is it me or is the dragon on a base bigger than the other GW dragons...looks Araknorak sized...

Yeah, its on a Araknorak sized base.

That makes part of me happy (I love that base with what you can do with it and it means the dragon may be the right size for once), but also kind of sad (that base warps alot and it means cannons still claim you easy)

Dark Eldar wait for 13 years to receive an overhaul. 13 years. Now that they've had a string of models that hasn't even lasted a whole year yet, they're getting too much love. The whole range needs to be re-done, I think a few models here and there isn't exactly that bad.

I don't even play Dark Eldar and I agree with you they waited for so long they need it and h#ll if this is how things mite(mite) be the Nercons will be getting allot of love to.

For VC zombie dragon I happier than a pig in s**t I love how it looks.

Wow that dragon looks cool! I'm not very happy with the new dark eldar models though. They are not up to the standard of the rest of the range. They are on par with the grotesques though lol

WHERE ARE MY TYRANID'S SECOND WAVE

ARGHHHHHH!

Anger!

Not that impressed with the Zombie Dragon. The wings are nice, but the rest of it looks a bit meh to be honest. I don't know, I will have to wait to see what the rest of it looks like, a better quality picture.

All of this makes no difference anyway, it's GW, I live in Australia, I won't be paying double for this. So many other manufacturers out there I can use.

ya Sasori I fell you too(space wolves), but when we get your second waves they will be big too

Cleaned up...

Ooh, More Dark Eldar, I love the Vamp Dragon too.

apparently there are also going to be:

Chaos Daemons Battalion/Battleforce
Herald of Tzeentch on Disc of Tzeentch
Finecast The Changeling
Finecast Bloodthirster
Finecast Lord of Change

Got it from The daemonic legion. Here is the thread: http://z7.invisionfree.com/wyrmling_x/index.php?showtopic=8687

Yeah, how dare GW support a range of miniatures other than yours.

Three entire armies have been released (some with second waves and even third waves) since the Tyranid codex was released. That's just on the 40k side. They create all new money maker units (they're the best, buy them!) and then don't give us models or even official base sizes. I think Tyranid players have earned the right to be a little irate at this point.

Well I for one have to say GW are doing very well with their recent huge monsters, basically everything massive and new is great, the Arachnarok, Hellpit Abomination, Stegadon, Sphinxes, Giant, High Elf Dragon and now this, just makes me more excited for October and the upcomming Great Mammox

It's still kinda fuzzy. The Ur-Ghul looks kinda meh, the Medusae and Dragon are pretty nice.

Of course, true to the fetish GW seems to have with it, even a zombie dragon has to have it's tongue sticking out

Good thing with a skeletal head though is that it can probably be removed/left off with only minimal covering up.

Btw I need five of those Vampire riders to turn into Blood Knights

I updated the first post considerably, including a full official list of releases.
There is still the slight possibility of more, "hidden" Finecast releases, as GW is reluctant to let retailers know of Finecast rereleases.

Good to see the Cairn Wraith & Banshee supposedly are plastic. Let's hope they actually are.

Saddened to see the Herald on Disc is supposedly crapcast. This means no sale for me.

Is this because retailers might otherwise order less of it or nothing at all if they know it's not-so-finecast?

Recent GW policy was not to encourage normal retailers (except GW and "premium retailers") to carry Finecast models at all, therefore all general newsletters to retailers did't mention ANY Finecast models, not even the new models for Tomb Kings and Dark Eldar. This has changed a bit now with mention of some Finecast models (without revealing the product code to retailers, they have to buy a WD ). So I don't know what the current policy is and how many models are mentioned in the WD not included in the preorder form. Next Friday/Saturday we will know more.

LOVE that more plastic blisters are coming out! Totally buying them, if only to encourage this trend.

Can we get some for 40K next?

And that is one sick dragon zombie.

What's happening with that earlier list of 2nd wave finecast releases? The list I saw last time looked like:

WH40K
Tyranid Venomthrope
Eldar Warp Spiders squad
Eldar Howling Banshee squad
Eldar Harlequin squad
Inquisitor Karamazov
Dark Angels Master of the Ravenwing

WHF
Dwarf Engineer w/ Great Weapon
Dwarf Thane w/ standard
Dwarf Grudge thrower
Dwarf High King Thorgrim
Lizardmen Slann Mage priest
High Elf Korhil
High Elf Prince Tyrion
Dark Elf Dreadlord on Cold One
Dark Elf War Hydra
Khorn Lord on Juggernaut
Beastmen Doombull

LotRs
Vault Warden Team
Witch King of Angmar
Dragon
Uruk-hai siege ballista
Gondor battle trebuchet

Chaos
The Changling
Greater Daemon of Khorne
Greater Daemon of Tzeentch

Where's the Slann, the Khorne Lord, etc, etc?

qft. Hey at least they nice enough to completely castrate the carnifex so we can all proxy them as tervigons.... ing bunch of crap.

I don't know. Possible is:

1.) The list was plain wrong, only incidently including some correct products (I don't believe this).
2.) The list was planned that way, but revised due to quality issues with Finecast.
3.) The list is correct but not included in the preorder form. May or may not be listed in the WD. GW-stores and premium stores may or may not get an email in private on how to order these.

In any case I think that all models in the list will get Finecast models soon.

Personally I also think that we will see new plastic blisters almost every month, as the retraction of the metal blisters and the reluctant marketing of Finecast blisters only makes sense, when in the long run all armies will have several HQ units in said plastic blisters. Currently many many stores can't sell legal armies.

Their policy of not releasing any official pictures is sure working. I mean now all we've got is blurry hard to make out images of their products! That's sure to get people excited.

Can't say I'm going to rush on these three models but I am glad to see another freaky looking huge monster. More Dark Eldar is nice but if they bring out everything in the book it'll be another ten years before they see an update. I'm curious about what's in the Daemon box set but as I don't like mixing chaos powers I probably won't buy it.

Also I'm miffed that Vampires are getting a totally new beastie and there's nothing for beastmen rares. :(

what the heck, the court should be a box set as you need to use all of them or none of them. Its not like you can have a court of only ur-ghouls and medusae.

Erm, we are talking about Dark Eldar here, who waited 13 f...ing years for their release.

Fair enough. But there are some Eldar and Tyranid players who wouldn't mind seeing something new. Wait. Scratch that...Eldar got new stuff with Spearhead.

So...since Spearhead we've had SM releases, 1 Eldar release, GK releases, a couple of IG releases and.....

Oh. Not one Tyranid release.

Meh.

I see they finally got round to a daemon battalion.

About 2 price rises too late.

Yeah, I know...so while I'm actually surprised to see court models coming out, I won't be buying them anyway because I hate Finecast. And if the currency converter I used is right that means they'll be in the $15.50 range (like the archon and succubus) which means making a court is going to be pricey. Not as hilariously stupid as beastmen units but still off-putting enough.

Tyranid players had the right to be irate when they were handed another fail codex. It's like they were built to lose... Hopefully GW realized this before they got too far along with the models, and are re-thinking the army as we speak...
