I’m just confused, because I heard that they removed it from the point updates this year, but only a few months ago they restarted making the model. What am I missing here?

It was a highly sought after model, I had been watching ebay for several years and the few nib ones I saw sold for several hundred dollars. When it came back I bought one immediately without even considering the rules and I imagine that most people who wanted that thing did the same. It wasn't impressive out of the vraks book and I doubt it really does anything other than hold 50 guardsmen.

I can testify to that. I paid $300 for the only one I could find on EBay a while before they restarted.

People might want it to play 30k with. Most recent prices fifty Guardsmen in a Gorgon was 570pts in a game usually played at 2,000pts, while fifty Militia Levies in a Gorgon is 375pts in a game routinely played at 3,000pts.

Oh I forgot that they are used in HH games

They are in the weird niche list with almost no standard models.

Does anyone know if the re-released one from FW has the soldiers inside? On their photos, it doesn't. That's what kept me from shelling out the dough. If im going to pay that much for a model, I don't want parts missing because FW was too lazy to remake them. They've got a bad habit of doing that. They're selling the centaur without the gunner.

No idea if these are them, but they seem to appear in this image.

It doesn't come with the passengers, they used to be sold separately. Not sure where you're seeing the centaur I thought it went oop, the last one I bought had the gunner.
