Besides ebay, games-workshop.com, and the dakkadakka section of the forum? I have checked my FLGS, the warstore.com, spikebits.com, and bunch of other places. None of them sell them. Where could I find them?

Update:


New SoB models in the works?

That's really all there is, I've been adding sisters to my forces recently and yeah Ebay, GW Offical and Dakka Swap Shop/Bater town is pretty much it.

What do you expect? SoB are metal, so direct only. Either buy them direct only or on something like ebay.

If you look into a mirror and say "Tom Kirby" three times, he shows up to sell them for you at $6 a miniature.

Will that work for a Red Gobbo? I really want one... cheap.

.... $6 a mini? I'd kill for those prices XD

Wait a while, they'll be in Finecast soon. Our Store Manager says almost - if not - all metal models will be gone by the end of 2012.

I doubt they'd bother the switch to Finecast for them.

Guess who those remaining, if not all minis are going to be.

We can always hope. But then GW isn't very good at exceeding expectations when you want something good.

I would argue that converting SoB to finecast would be a good thing and that's why it won't happen. It would also require attention to be paid to SoB.

I contacted GW Customer Services the other day before I purchased a load of Vostroyans just to check they were not going fine cast or being dropped. They said they had no plans on dropping them from the list or making them fine cast.

Customer Service knows less about upcoming releases than we do. I wouldn't use them as a source.

I expected them to be like all the other 40k models. Where you can buy them off line from other stores.

A: I didn't even know that they were still metal (no one in my area plays them)
B: When if ever, will they be made in plastic.

You can buy them off line from other stores. Stores can buy direct-only items at a lesser discount, if they choose, and resell them to customers. They just choose not to.

A: yep, still metal.
B: Right after pigs fly.

I admit I really like my SoBs in metal... it's very satisfying to have the weight in your miniatures

Ebay is probably your best bet for now. Or GW direct.

They'll get squatted before they get made in plastic or resin.

They make pretty good stuff.

Careful, I have fire and you can't regenerate from that!

No problem, it was just irresistable to do for me

Ve shall never surrender! *loads a fresh canister into a meltagun*

I really doubt the Sisters are gonna go the way of the squats, the fact that people keep buying them at GW's "new" prices is proof they're still viable

So you're expecting GW to make a somewhat wise marketing decision?

So true. It may sound silly, but they just "feel" like a proper warrior miniature instead of some cheap boardgame piece that weighs less than the blister they came packaged in. I've also seen enough Finecast to know that there's a certain "risk" involved in terms of quality. And lastly, it seems Finecast would not actually make SoB minis cheaper to acquire, so ... why would we want this again?

I for one would prefer the SoB either getting normal plastics, or remaining metal. Yes, it costs a hell to acquire the latter, but I still think they're worth it.

Plastic, posable SoBs with those stupid bowl-cuts fixed would be lovely.

Conversions. Converting SOB metals is a pain in the butt.

Very agreed. Normal plastic and especially poseable/convertable sisters would be awesome! Finecast would not.

Bowl-cuts are for boys in the mid to late 90's.

Sisters have a "Bob-cut" supposedly invented by Vidal Sassoon (or however you spell his name).

Sisters could easily be made in plastic. GW just doesn't want to do it.

They make excuses like "They are too detailed" which it a lie. The GK models are very detailed as is any model made after the fantasy giant.

I've even drawn up sketches of sprue and model design. I was hoping to enter them in the "Work for GW" contest a few years ago. Should have tried to get the job...

The due date was my birthday. Should have seen it as a sign.
