Its still possible, as January 7th is Christmas for the Eastern Orthodox Church!

I got my notice on 14th and picked them up yesterday from my local GW. Only notice I got was that they were posted though - not that they had arrived. Seems I was lucky.

Damn you are lucky. I ordered mine pretty much as soon as they came up for preorder on the 19th of november.
But mine are still listed as pending on the site.
I am beginning to wonder if they will ever send the damn things.

Like if I wanted the sphynx from the tomb king release for example, that they won't make once they come around to death?
This is something I've been wondering as well, quite a few of the larger Beastmen range beasties is what I'd be after. Wouldn't say no to a Sphinx either, though!
Hmmm.... A couple of the Mordheim Beastman could get me to crack open my wallet...

Does anyone know what the vaguely bolter looking weapons were on the Inquisitor Terminator models? You could run them as counts-as Condemnors I suppose, but what are they really?

The bare-headed terminator has a combi-weapon (if I recall, you rolled d6 for the number of weapon/barrels it had) and Jokaero digital weapons on the power glove. The hooded one had a psycannon and force rod.

It's a Needle Gun.
That TDA Inquisitor is one of my all-time favorite GW models. Gonna need to order that boy.
Man, I wish there was a real Black Library where I could get a Black Library Card and take out Black Library Books without having to buy them. Of course, late fees would be your soul. But it would be worth it. - InquisitorMack

I remember originally you could have the assassin appear from a squad of anything (terminators, etc.) using camoline, And they could be in full terminator Armor riding a bike with pretty much 'whatever' weapons you wanted them armed with. Total OP/Borken, I know, but it was fun.
I think you are misremembering
Polymorphine wargear card had restrictions on armour saves and no heavy weapons/vehicle crewmen, so no terminators. Also any equipment to model carried was dropped in favour of the assassins weapons.
There was one battle report - Space Wolves vs Eldar, IIRC - where an Assassin was used. Just the Space Wolves player looking at the Howling Banshees near to the Farseer was enough to get the Eldar player moving them away. Eventually, the Assassin revealed himself as a Warp Spider (causing the three remaining Eldar to fail a panic test!) and spent most of the rest of the game fighting an Eldar Dreadnought in close combat while hopped up on combat stimulants.
H.B.M.C. wrote:The Bunker Assault BatRep was a lot of fun. Bjorn ended up armless in combat with a Farseer and a Warlock!
The Assassin from those Battle Reports eventually became the basis for the Eversor Assassin (Combi-Weapon, Power Sword, Meltabombs, Combat Drugs).
I remember that battle report that was the White Dwarf battle report that got me into 40K back in the day; was about 1993/1994? Went out and bought Ragnar, Njal, Blood Claws, Bjorn and Long Fangs after reading it!!
If I also remember the Space Wolves Land Raider got wrecked in the middle of the battle field and the Iron Priest spent the rest of the battle trying to fix it!
