The three ups are scanned and finished digitally. I believe only the newer vehicles are 100% digital.

Plastic wraithguard caught my eye, but it does seem a bit wishlisty...

NEW ORK DREADS!! I dont like the models at the moment. It better be plastic !!!!!!

Can you put a month on this? If its relatively early, i wont bother with my SM dread conversion, but i'll go ahead with it if its later on.

I'd love this too. Not only will they no longer have to be all in the same pose but it wont be £8 a model any more!!

Yes, £80 to field the 10 models necessary to make Wraithguard a troops choice. Of course at the rate GW's prices are going, they might well cost more than £8

Ha!

Yes, I don't think it would be a stretch to see Plastic Wraithguard in a box of 5 for $50.

No stretch at all, actually...

Well i hope they come out with a plastic Warhound Titan some day : )

I do notice that there's no more mention of the plastic Thunderbolt and Rough Riders.

You, me and a whole lot of other people too, I think!

It would sell way, way more than a plastic Thunderhawk too...

So if you were me would you still plan on scratch building a couple of Manticores? is it that close to their release, or are we talking March or later?

5 for $50 is still a damn sight better than the $20 per model Wraithguard go for these days.

The only reason I haven't bought a Forgeworld one (or started a new army) is that I'm hoping a plastic one comes out in the next few years. Then I can start my Titan Legion

Many many other sister players did just that. I think John Swan had a neat conversion for one using old WW parts and immolator parts. I used that as a base and some typhoon launchers.

Wow Carmachu, now THAT is a blast from the past!!! But yeah, back when GW had a much stronger "hobbyist" bend, they put the Exorcist conversion I did with one of the old Immolators and old Whirlwindsd up on the Mail Order page and you could order the all the bits for the conversion with one code.

But I also know a lot of folks weren't happy with the conversion since they thought it looked too much like a Whirlwind. I, of course, disagree but what are you gonna do?

Vale,

Ouch!

I had no idea that what they cost these days.

I bought mine a long, long time ago...

So, they are 'only' $15 each actually.

But still... ouch!

And then, you're right!

5 for $50 would be... great! (?)

3 for whatever the Ravener box costs now.

cool. New IG tanks!

I actually did that exact conversion and it worked well....it went on the old-style rhinos, but I think it looks ok.
You had to use a little green stuff for some minimal gap-filling, but I think this was one of the better conversions for the Exorcist vehicle.

I saw the plastic wraith gaurd and peed a little I was so excited....then I saw the DE and cried a little to see them on the same list....

Hey everybody,

In the original post it says "items for 2010 and beyond". So all this cool stuff, like the IG stormtroopers and the Thunderhawks and the plastic sisters of battle.. they could come out in 2011 or could even be stuff GW has on there "Ill get to this eventually" list...

Does anyone have any sorta idea on when this stuff might get released, a few of the items look like there getting released when that mission book comes out.... but alot of this looks like sometime in the distant future...

Plastic is easier to paint, offers more opportunities for conversions, and the kits come with hundreds of bits! You should be on your hands and knees thanking GW for even thinking about making them in plastic, doesn't matter if they cost the same (or more) than the metals!

Alpharius wrote:Yes, I don't think it would be a stretch to see Plastic Wraithguard in a box of 5 for $50.

Nah, you think too small...3 for $45.

Asherian Command wrote:Well i hope they come out with a plastic Warhound Titan some day : )

Why? It'll cost the same as a resin warhound anyway.

Though I guess there's a lot of people who would be willing to pay the same price for a plastic one just because it'd be easier to get a hold of and put together...

Because putting together a plastic one would be a damn sight easier than putting together a resin one.

Or, to quote you:

Like the plastic Baneblade costs the same as the resin one did? Or the Trygon?

No...

BrookM wrote:I do notice that there's no more mention of the plastic Thunderbolt and Rough Riders.

Yeah, I'm pretty bummin' about that myself. I'm not going to be holding my breath to do an Imperial Navy force now at least.

I don't know whether to be excited or meh. Yay new plastic tomb spyder, possibly monstrous size now. Boo all these rumors of GW rethinking Necrons in their entirety, fluff and all. Yay for new concept art which could mean a new codex is along the way sometime. /wrists for Jerkoff Johnson being mentioned along with Necrons and fluff.

So maybe I exaggerate a bit about their new pricing scheme...they only try to rip you off on the little models.

5 for $50 is still a damn sight better than the $20 per model Wraithguard go for these days.

Wraithguard are $15 US, not $20. That $15 price per model is still quite expensive, but not as bad as $20. Link here if you need proof.

So that list at the beginning of this thread has a lot of great stuff on it, but as was pointed out there a lot of it is probably just a wish list and not likely to happen in 2010. I'm waiting to see someone pare it down a bit to something closer to what we'll actually be getting in 2010.

Well, they are 12,50 € in Germany (and Europe I guess), so that is 18.00$ actually. They are as expensive as the Raveners. So if they get bigger, Gw could shoot for that price.

Schepp himself

Wraithguard are AUD$25 here in Oz, yet are AUD$16 in the US and AUD$14 in the UK.

I'd love to know why we're paying 44% more for the same item in Oz as they are in the UK...

Ack!

You're both right!

IF we see Plastic Wraithguard, we'll most likely see them at 3 for $45...

Depressing.

Alpharius wrote:IF we see Plastic Wraithguard, we'll most likely see them at 3 for $45...

Or 3 for $20, like Stealth Suits.

It's possible.

Or $35 for a box of 5 w/plastic Warlock.

I guess if enough people resist the Goldswords, the Bestigolds and the, er, Raveners we MIGHT catch a break on plastic Wraithguard.

Maybe.

Alpharius wrote:I guess if enough people resist the Goldswords, the Bestigolds and the, er, Raveners we MIGHT catch a break on plastic Wraithguard. Maybe.

I'd be curious to know what sales have been on Greatswords. It is one of the few sets I've seen that does not seem to sell virtually at all at the asking price. The new Raveners are also incredibly expensive at 3 for $45 US and so are the Bestigor. I have a bunch of metal Bestigor I got cheap at GW's last ever public dented box several years ago, far cheaper than the projected cost of the new plastics and I won't be replacing them with plastic based on what we're hearing about the price of those. The question is will Tyranid players buy the new Raveners or will they resist them? I agree that if sales are sparse on sets like Greatswords, Bestigors and Raveners maybe we'll see less aggressive pricing on similar sets down the road.
