I thought they'd been taken down to have their moulds remade but it's been months and still no sign. Anyone got any info on this?
Thanks

I've been wondering this too. I've been wanting to grab some DK for a long while now, but I don't want to if they aren't supporting the army anymore. They also took down the Gorgon superheavy transport a long time ago with no signs of bringing it back. Then there's also only 4 deathriders available. One has been out of stock for quite a while, meaning you can't buy any of the deathrider groups.
..and also the various variants of the heavy weapons, imperial armor:am, destroyer tank hunter, probably others.
maybe they're just going to let DKOK die and not replace the molds?

This is disheartening for a new Korps commander as myself :(
I hope its just heresy.

Unlikely, my best guess is they are re-doing the mold. Just like they did with the DKoK at rest squad.
I would say DKoK are FWs second biggest money spinner for 40K after knights/titans.

Please note, for those of you who play Chaos Daemons as a faction the term "Daemon" is potentially offensive. Instead, please play codex "Chaos: Mortally Challenged". Thank you. |

Yeah I thought that too, which is why I thought it strange how long it’s been without any sign of the old molds coming back.
Hopefully they do, I love my Kriegers and would love to give them some suicidal grenadiers

FW did bring back the at ease squad so i am optimistic.
Also don't forget that FW still wants to make money.
I mailed them about our dkok transfers and no - that wont come back since that would cost em' more than make profit.
I doubt dkok will be removed. The are likely the most notorious IG/AM section they have.

I seriously doubt that. Many of their decisions only make sense if you assume that they're actively trying to avoid making money.

I sent an email to forgeworld and they said again that the molds or original sculpt are being worked on for the grenadiers, gorgon, and deathrider ridemaster. However, the alternate heavy-weapon models have been discontinued.
They didn't give a time other than 'hopefully soon'.

They told me the same thing.....2 years ago. Well accept I didn't ask about the deathrider ride master.

Well even though dkok as a brand I guess is fairly popular; i doubt that the Gorgon for example was a money train for FW.
Even if they re-work the original molds and/or original sculpts, which I hope they do; new releases (30k/ 40k) probably bring FW more bang for their bucks than bringing back old stuff.
Hence the intended work probably is there but the priority as a running business I guess is somewhat two-folded, at best :p
