Hey there guys!
I must admit, so far I'm hyped about 8th edition, a lot of new rules really seem to make the game more enjoyable while still keeping most of the tactical decisions.
Enough about that though. I've been keeping a close eye at the Games Workshop's website to see if I could get a hint at which models would be re-done or completely removed, and unfortunantly for me, I spotted that Skulltaker is "Out of Stock" (Also the Defiler and Soul Grinder but I dont know what to think of that)
I'm afraid they'll remove one of my favorite characters and model, so I was wondering if you guys have any thoughs on the subject?
I guess I can always use him as a glorified herald of Khorne, but I still think it's a shame if I wont be able to use him as I usually do.

It's in stock on the CAN website.

Recreate the model using current rules (or homebrew) and keep using the miniature. Who owns your hobby - you or GW?

None of those are in the "Last Chance to Buy" page, so they are probably either getting a re-boxing and they are pulling down inventory, OR they are just out and waiting for their recent casting runs to arrive.
