Marid Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 After many weeks of being listed as 'expected to dispatch in one to two weeks' he's listed as 'no longer available.' Pretty tough for one of the most popular ICs in a just-released codex. It looks like the rumors about GW phasing out metal models almost entirely are coming true. I wonder if Forge World will start producing IC models or will we see resin blisters from GW? Or is this just a hiccup in their inventory system?

I wonder if Forge World will start producing IC models or will we see resin blisters from GW? Or is this just a hiccup in their inventory system? I've been told that these models (some others as well) won't be available for a couple of weeks (I don't know if that is a literal couple of weeks or just some time in future), so I got the feeling we should expect them to be back sometime before the next Grey Knight codex comes out :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229536-coteaz-no-longer-available-from-gw/#findComment-2754346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiad Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Models disappear then reappear from time-to-time. There's also second wave to come but I wouldn't expect it so soon. However, much speculation says that Inquisitorial units will be the focus of any second wave.

RedemptionNL Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yeah, Grand Master Mordrak is the only GK model that really stands out as missing a model. We may possibly see a GK specific Librarian, Tech Marine or Dreadnought at some point in the future. On the Inquisitorial side, we have Inquisitor Valeria and the Plasma Cannon Servitor that are missing. Plastic Henchmen would be cool though.

Brovius Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 As much as i'd like to have GK Dreadnought/Techmarine/Librarian kit, it's highly unlikely. GW will expect us to convert our own up. A generic plastic Libby kit similar to the SM Commander kit would be pretty cool though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229536-coteaz-no-longer-available-from-gw/#findComment-2754489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublindawg Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 In talking with all 3 LGS in my area, they have confirmed that metals models are going away and can no-longer be ordered from GW. At least to have in-store. Only way to get metals is directly from GW until said model is out of stock.

Brother Sefiel Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi I'm sitting in an independent stockist with plenty of Coteaz blisters. They arrived when the range was released. Just depends on the area you're in, I suspect.

krewl Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The rumours where pretty strong on Resin replacing metal a while ago, been silent in that regard for a while now.

Captain Psycho Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The GW metal to resin rumor started a couple of months ago but afaik there's been no confirmation that it is true from any of the reliable "insiders" over on heresy-online or warseer. There's also speculation thay all the blisters are being repackaged and will be re-released this summer (I'm guessing this is the true story, GW will probably tack on another price increase to go with the new packaging). Over on warseer there's a thread about this in the general GW topics forum and a recent post suggested there will be an official announcement next week but I don't know what the source is. Someone started a "GK second wave" thread in this forum a couple of weeks ago - as I said in that thread imho there will not be a GK second wave, the existing range covers the majority of the units in the dex (and definitely the most popular choices).

Marid Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I can see that repackaging the blisters into sets would make sense for GW. Not so great for players, but much better than nothing. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229536-coteaz-no-longer-available-from-gw/#findComment-2755669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopicus Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Not much surprise here. Prime time to ebay my never-used Inquisitor I think. I just sold my =I= Land Raider. I'm down to the pure foot GK army I always hoped would be viable and am much happier. Also, as for a GK dread, Forge World makes two and both are excellent. I'd love a GK libby though.

Marid Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Well, it looks like resin replacements are on the way for models like Coteaz. Just in time for the price increases on other products in the range. Ouch. -_- I know the game has evolved into an 1850 or 2000-point standard, but I'm beginning to wonder if this presents too large a barrier to new players. <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229536-coteaz-no-longer-available-from-gw/#findComment-2762373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I however do agree that price increases can't be good for the hobby.
