I'd rather see them do Eisenhorn and key members of his retinue (Bequin!!!) or Ravenor, though plenty would find a floating box with a pair of guns on it boring.

Honestly, I would be more happy with them fixing molds for models that have been out of stock for years.

Anyone know a price point on him? I kinda want to paint him for my yearly Charity donation during Christmas. I feel like he would be a blast to paint!

**spiralingcadaver**

That's the full FW base w/ base insert, so just look at HH terminator character series minis, should be around there.

**em_en_oh_pee**

Looking at the model a bit more... do those leg studs look added after the fact? Or is it just me?

I'd rather they didn't, actually. At least not Bequin; for some reason GW/FW are incapable of sculpting scale women with human faces or proportions. Of course some would say they haven't managed a scale man with reasonable proportions yet, but either way it's particularly bad when they attempt the fairer sex.
I'd much rather let Artel W finish their not-eisenhorn not-retinue.

The model shown is a master or 3D print, the close up of the shoulder in particular shows this.

**hotsauceman1**

Will we get Kais from the fire warrior game?

Given the HH character series prices, £45 would seem likely.

Dude, them's fightin' words. Or, more to the point, IDK why you're taking the aggressive attitude, calling the entire community out in one fell swoop.

not to tell other people the reason they enjoy it is wrong

Add to that some hypocrisy not liking people being insulted about their attitudes.

**Pariah-Miniatures**

I hope they do Artekus Bardane from the Relictors. Would like to see that chapter master swinging his daemon flail

Redmaw was cancelled. I was looking forward to him myself.

**Alpharius**

RULE #1 - BE POLITE.

RULE #2 - STAY ON TOPIC.

IF you see a post that you feel is against the rules of the site - report it.

**Kanluwen**

I have a feeling the 40k Character Series might be where we finally see an official Lias Issodon.

**nerdfest09**

Why was Redmaw cancelled? I also was champing at the bit for that model and had birthed ideas for a SW force with him but grew tired of waiting and then...... no Bran :-( he was a great looking model for what they showed.

Don't worry, maybe he will get recycled like the K'daai Destroyer, erm... I mean Skaarac.

**Rayvon**

I think Redmaw was cancelled as the chap that was doing him left them.

Last mention of it was that Redmaw was cancelled as there were problems with production of his alternate form(which never got finished/showed off).

**Crazyterran**

I imagine the 40k character series will be Gabriel, Leviathan Culln, whatever admech/tau characters are in Cyraxus, 8 Ultramarine characters (joking... mostly), etc.

Here's hoping we get 8th Ed rules without the alt form or with it as an optional cost and that he's reconsidered for this new character series...

**Peregrine**

Finally, something that isn't a space marine!

**Carnikang**

Face looks like he's peeking out of a trashcan. With a rubber mask on.

Good on Forgeworld.

**zedmeister**

Pity they've only just put him out for this week. Bit of a dull release for me...

They're clearly going for the American WWII naming convention,

You want an M4? Is that the M4 medium tank, the M4 light tank etc

The M# refers to the model number, basically an adjective. Although people might talk about M1s or M16s without using the noun they shouldn't, it was never the name of the item.

**zedmeister**

With the Forgeworld Open Day coming up, I've put together a quick list of stuff that we know about that's pending release:

List pending:

Adeptus Titanicus

Fires of Cyraxus
Tau Tigershark AX-1-0
Red Scorpions Captain Casan Sabius
Culln Leviathan Dreadnought

30k Rulebook
Moritat with Silenced Bolt Pistols
Constantin Valdor
Scoria
Deredeo Atomantic Pavaise
Vyronii Transfers
Wolf Guard Terminators

Anything I've missed?

**Gamgee**

Theoretically the reworked Tigershark which was shown last open day, but with FW as it is right now everything is so frantic. As usual ask them about the book that shall not be named but it involves both the uat and mechanical add in it. Ask them if their plans for additional Tau models this year is happening or not (I really really doubt it at this point and am finalising my yearly budget).

Edit
Ah you got them both in the list already.

Probably the SW terminators, but we haven't seen their models yet. You forgot Angellus, the book that was proposed at the last weekender.

**Crimson**

Has there been any word how to handle the chapter traits all for these Forge World characters?

**CragHack**

Gotta be one of the shittier FW Fridays. T Please don't bypass the language filter like this. Reds8n

Despite that, I'm happy. This means we are one step closer to all the other goodies. Unless they decide to shoehorn more marine characters.
