Yep, managed to confirm through reliable sources.

The Plasma/Fist Primaris Captain and Spooky Boi are both being retired this year - specifically by the end of May.

At the time of writing, I don't know what's replacing them, only that it's happening.

Figured this was well worth a share, as anyone tempted to get them now has a finite window in which to seek them out.

If you don't have a local store, or none having an Anniversary Celebration by then, see my sig for the FB Loot Group. Whilst we can't promise success, we can promise any successes will be Scalper Free, and strictly At Cost.

I will of course report back as soon as I've any indication as to what the new models are (pure speculation, I reckon a Chaos model for 40k, given Abaddon is returning in style)

Chaos would be nice (even for both systems), but I’d guess a chaos marine and a Stormcast.
Always a good and a bad that way..

We're due another Primaris Lieutenant, so of of course they are.

New Primaris Stormcast Lt. (Opened the wrong chamber door)
Undead Chaos marine

What's the event only "Spooky boi"? Guessing one of those new AoS not-ghost things?

Is this 'un.

Ooh I like him.

His hunched posture combined with his lantern and adorable little candle hat he looks like some of menacing librarian character who's just overheard a whisper and is looking for somebody to thump with that mace.


How much does he retail for?

Ermmm. £20 if memory serves?

There are two or three upcoming Anniversaries I'm aware of, so hit up the Loot Group and see if someone can hook you up.

I'm glad I picked up the Nighthaunt one, though he's still in the box. Maybe I should get two, just to complete the loadout.

What are the chances they'll release that super exclusive plastic terminator chaplain this year? That was a good model

Well, there's a rootin' tootin' lootin' story to that....

He's currently only available when a GW rebrands to Warhammer. And that's happening in waves, and likely all will get the treatment in the end ('appen my local may be getting it this year...).

Starts with the Terminator Captain, which is £15, and you can have as many as you want. And for each one, you get a collectors card. Every £10 gets a stamp, and 10 stamps mean you buy his Bezzie Mate, the Really Nice Terminator Chaplain.

Of course, that means the Terminator Chaplain is rarer than Hen's teeth.

Well....he was. I looted Warhammer Guildford good and hard, because they had unlimited Chaplain availability. And as far as I know, that's now the standard. Which means a great deal of Looting yet to come!

Memory fades as to how many, but it was a lot. Oh, it does bring a smile and tear of joy to my face when I consider how many Scalpers I must've upset that day....

which one is that? I noticed by local had 2 copies of a limited edition terminator, but not sure if same guy you are referring to.

Oh Captain, my Captain

And his mate, Charlie

I need to join that loot group XD
Just need to set up a facebook account.

Back on topic, I hope we don't have to wait long for them to reveal the new models. Hopefully they get teased before May, even if they're not released for a few months.

Should be around April time, I think. They usually show them off ahead of release, get the hype rolling.

Having said that, Nighthaunt was first clocked on GW Milton Keyne's FB page by myself (and immediately shared. And Looted in due course. I'm addicted to Lootin!)

Anyone else find it funny that the grenade launcher option for the Captain now costs zero points? May as well take it, no downside.

@Mad Doc: if one of the figures ends up being a darkoath barbarian, or slaanesh worshippin mortal I may just be first in line for your looting offer!!

huh, local has 2 copies of that terminator. Might have to grab him for my Deathwing.

Your store has them on stock? Huh. That's pretty lucky (or if its common, I'm just unlucky.)
Though, my store did have that FW Ultramarine standard guy stick around for a bit (Can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want him... ;D)
