Rommel44 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hey there, just another quick question. Well after forming a deal to get some more Grey Knights, the guy told me that it might be a waste considering that GW will be making them into collector items only. Is this true because if it is I'm really going to be annoyed ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166490-grey-knights-as-collecters-items-only/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Tyrak Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 If it is true, I hope it's a sign of impending new models to replace the current ones. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166490-grey-knights-as-collecters-items-only/#findComment-1960632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHaZZ13 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 not that i know of =\ why would they tbh? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166490-grey-knights-as-collecters-items-only/#findComment-1960634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 If they drop the current line of GK's then they will likelt drop GK's all together... considering the cost involved in making a new set of plastic sprues for GK's and the fact the GW considers =][= forces to be an 'extra'.... well its not good if its true...

Marid Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Since Forgeworld recently released new DH stuff and that their DH section is pretty big, I doubt GKs are going anywhere.

x19 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Since Forgeworld recently released new DH stuff and that their DH section is pretty big, I doubt GKs are going anywhere. Yeah, I'd say the recent Forge World investment in Inquisitional forces is the best indication that we'll see an update eventually.

Mal Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 That may be a good indication.. but lets face it, forgeworld and GW don't communicate very well... they may be run by the same company, and even out of the same site, but they are different buildings... and it seems that nobody bothers to carry the memos from one building to the other....

Imperator Mos Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Are you kidding? Like how FW has stopped producing Valkyries? And the DKOK comes out befor the new IG codex? I can go on if you really need me to...

Ominous Anonymous Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 There have been rumors of plastic Grey Knights for awhile now, especially before Planetstrike is released because of the emphasis on assaulting with Deep Striking units. If you'd been told that the current metal Grey Knights are becoming plastic, that more than likely means that they are working on plastic sprues.

Look on the bright side, now you'll have even more variety among your units! If its the same as our last then we'll get 3 different poses, which means that you could have a unit of 8 vannila GK that only have one of the same models. But I hope that they will follow the trend of multiple parts for almost limitless possible poses.

Lamenter Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Grey Knights are said to feature in the third Vraks book from FW, so I'm hoping we'll see some new FW minis to accompany them. It would make sense considering the recent Inquisitor release and upcoming daemon prince/s.

Karitas Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 With the idead that DH is a "niche" army, do we consider that "nice" might soon come to mean "FW only"?

Verythrax Draconis Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Only if they discontinue the codex as well. Otherwise, we will have a legit codex (3rd ed codex is 5th ed compliant with the latest FAQ) but limited edition pieces, what would be the first time in 40K history, I believe. They only cut or not cut, never something in between.
