Seeing it would be rereleasing previously done kit seems fairly low effort to grab some money when customei base increases suddenly.
Well one can hope. If not then at least one can safely convert one without woirying how often you get to use it

Redoing mold isn't that expensive for resin. Didn't make much sense before with not many sister players(most either already owning one or not buying anyway) but with codex and plastic release pool of people to sell will grow exponentially.
No quarantee but as same guys are doing fw and gw rules seems odd they would treat them differentely for legends. And if they were planning to rerelease now with codex is pretty much most logical time.
And if not...at least now converting one is safe

plastic repressor in a year as the sisters first post codex release?
One can hope!
AFAIK not a single FW model is on the legends file, only GW models who did not go into codcies.
So, this means nothing
Even in That case it means something. Specifically that it will stay tournament legal(and with that generally legal) and ergo conversions are safe to do.
Actually, not.
With legends being a thing now, and (I think) all armies getting codecies out-how long is it until indcies are no longer welcomed in tournaments?
Not long I reckon.
And you got to remember that a LARGE swat of FW, including the represor, have never been updated beyond index status.

Well lucky that repressors aren't in the indexes GW has phased out but on their separate book. Whole FW line won't get invalidated nor did they here. Stuff in legends series will get out of tournament use. FW kits not.
Repressor is safe. Maybe one day if GW decides to do new books for FW kits that changes but so far all quiet on that front. With lead times as it is seeing new book with sister FW kits is like year or two away EARLIEST.

tneva82 wrote:Redoing mold isn't that expensive for resin. Didn't make much sense before with not many sister players
Except the Repressor has been in demand for years. Previous to GW's announcement of the return of Sisters the availability of the Repressor was probably the number one topic in most places where Sisters were discussed. (Was it still available? does anyone have one to sell? How do you convert it? What are good alternate models?). It regularly sells on ebay very fast (I don't think I've seen one in years that made it through its auction without a bid). There were even several makers who offered their own versions for sale (or as a free printable file). So really, anytime in the last 10 years would have been a great time for FW to re-release the model.
And its not as if FW has a problem doing super short run models. Some FW releases have a lifetime run thats ridiculously small. I don't know how often FW replaces their models, but other resin casting companies I've worked with have replaced theirs as often as every 50 models.
I'm guessing that the reason its gone out of print is that they no longer have the master. The master was either lost, broken or is enough poor enough shape that it can't really be used anymore. Apparently that happens quite a bit (I believe thats one of the reasons a lot of the FW Imperial Guard stuff was retired). Very likely creating a new original isn't a huge priority, even if it would be profitable.
Thats my guess anyway.

It might be in demand by sister players but how much did sisters sell during that time? GW has sales numbers. If there's loud, loyal but small group that's not much of a potential.
Are you really claiming new codex and plastic models isn't likely to result in not that insignificant boost to sister players?
And if master is gone then yeah that would be bit of issue but even then it reinforces idea that NOW would be logical time to redo it if they ever were. There's going to be boost in demand soon for it.
Now of course it's possible they have no intention to rerelease but then why not put them in legends? Same guys who did legends are also responsible for FW model rules so they had authority to do. Seems odd to have repressor be special excemption.

Even if so, this just begs the question why they won't have a guy spend 1-2 hours recreating it in CAD. It was literally a resin box + cylinder with some details, something so simple even amateur would be able to do it. The only any sensible reason would be if they wanted changing it to be upgrade for new Sister Rhino, but it seems to be so similar to old one there is no reason why it wouldn't fit both...

SIsters getting bigger was never in doubt. GW screwed up with plastic Cadians (whether by accident or design) and they've taken that as the basis for human size ever since. With the caveat that GW sucks at sticking to one scale, which makes things a little more complicated than that.
Even in a single kit. Some of the Cadian arms have delicate feminine hands, others look like they're earing oven mitts... The pointing hand is especially egregious.
GW has weird conventions, too. They can and do make pretty delicate boots, but once they make bare feet, they're humongous.
On that note, I can't make it out from the picture above, but I have to wonder if the new buff Repentia fit inside the new power armor. Catachans certainly had more impressive biceps that Marines could have ever hoped for, if you know what I mean.

The proper term for miniatures is literally Scale Models. Thats why Scale is important.
Scale makes our armies and battles feel right. Thats why mixing 20mm scale miniatures with 32mm scale miniatures feels wrong and looks butt ugly.

Loud, loyal, and small is what FW is built on.
Why else would you shell that much money for their kits? They're exorbitantly expensive. They're resin, so they're a nightmare and a half to work with. They're often available only one place, so you never even deal with store margins for third party sellers.
This is what they do, yet for whatever reason they aren't supporting the Repressor.
They really should just retire the damn thing.

Obviously older kits haven't changed. But Deathwatch Veterans, Thousand Sons, Death Guard, Primaris, new Chaos Marines, the Heroes series, are all noticeably taller than what came before.

And I'm still not sure why you're including primaris in there, since they're supposed to be (and are) taller than marines.

Citation needed for them being head taller in the fluff. In thew art they're depicted almost the same size, the Primaris being only a tiny bit taller.

As was already pointed out, FW's target customer base is "loud, loyal but small". According to FW themsleves a LOT of FW kits never sell very man copies, so its not as if the potential to ONLY sell a few hundred Repressors to an established fanabse that was begging for them and eagerly buying both used and bootleg models wouldn't be worthwhile. I think its much more likely that they simply didn't have the manpower, and wanted to spend their time on new things.
And no, I'm not claiming that "new codex and plastic models isn't likely to result in not that insignificant boost to sister players?." Where did yo even get that idea? Ro was that response for someone else?
I do agree that now would be the perfect time to redo the master (if it was indeed missing or destroyed).

You're right that GW hasn't given a shot about scale in the past. Thats always been true, going back to Rogue Trader. GW models have rarely had a consistent scale across the line. You would think that after decades fans would just accept that instead of getting angry about it at literally every release.
