Hey all!
Last couple of timea an army got a new codex, they got new models, some of which in plastic, not metal like the previous model.
I wonder/Hope that WH/DH get new models in plastis as they dont already.

Could someone please tell me if they think this will happen, or if they think it wont happen, for that matter, and even if you think we have two more 'dead' armys, or maybe if you even..., actually, I think i'll be quiet now

Have your say PLEASE!!!!

Yes. It would make absolutely no sense whatsoever if GW released a new army without new models. They're trying to convert as much to plastic as possible to maximize profits, so it would be boneheaded to keep using the same metal GK models. Whatever the more cynical posters have to say about GW, they seldom miss the chance to sell more toys.

From what I have heard is that Power Armored grey knights are staying pewter and the Grey Knight Terminators are turning plastic like the rest of the terminator sets.

thats all I have "officially" heard. but I could for see a plastic "inquisitor box" much like the space marine commander set. and then if the sisters come out it wouldn't be until the second wave.

That would mean PROPER weapons!
Imagine not having to make Combi bolter/stake throwers and blaziers of holy fire!!

I agree it would be very cool. but i don't know if that would happen or not, if they did that they could also throw together a plastic henchmen box. two sets selling for 20ish apiece is right up GW alley.

Good point! We should give this idea to GW!

No, for the first time in history, GW releases a Codex to sell new miniatures but forgot to produce the new models. The man responsible was fired

Makes no sense to keep the standards in metal (not pewter BTW) and I also heard that the standards will be plastic.

That sounds basically entirely wrong.

GW would not release a DH codex without plastic troops.
Given the likely de-emphasis on inquisitors, I would think a plasitc inquisitor box extremely unlikely.
Sisters will be in their own codex, not a second wave.
