Beachymike123 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 i'm thinking this is just a real bad rumour but i can see some sets 'streamlined' so to speak - ie you can get the black templar upgrade sprue to add to your normal minis, so i can see mordian iron guard being a set you buy to add to the cadian plastics. i hope this is the case, i can see the catachans and cadians staying, but the others getting the extra sprue treatment, although i'd say the death korps of kreig will be included in a new plastic set that can be made as either dkok or steel legion. some of it though (rough riders disappearing) i don't think will happen - too many players have have sets for them and unlike the tyranids humans can be modelled from most of GW's range via the empire and/or marauders being kitbashed to be able to make the models. i shall stand by with that salt mill.

Brother Captain Sirus Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well that was an interesting read, seems like GW could really upset people if this pans out to be true. They would have to make some ver versitile kits to keep many happy (not likely). Just need to wait and see what comes of this.

IamJacksUserName Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'll believe plastic greatcoat guard when I see it in box on the shelf for sale. I will miss the idea of rough riders, but as a unit they will not be missed. And I certainly hope that GW doesn't ret con all the individual and unique guard units into cadians.

WarriorFish Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Salt at the ready of course, but some of it smells funny. It's already established that the majority of regiments style themselves after/use Cadian issue equipment so that isn't new in the slightest. Of course Catachan and Rough Rider models won't sell well because they're ancient, the rules for RR aren't stellar either. So that could as much be stating the obvious as GW's machinations. Supplements for Krieg and Elysians would be cool, but it depends on how much GW wants to step on FW's toes. There are already FW rules for them, so I suppose it might depend on how old they are? I assume they will stick to the resin FW models. Like all "good" rumours it has enough weight to make it possible, so wait and see comrades. I'll be very disappointed if it turns out to be true.

hornywingythingy Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Aye, lots of salt, though it does fit the fantasy rumours of just getting rid of the unprofitable lines (4 armies are rumoured to be being scrapped totally as just unprofitable) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285877-non-cadian-models-getting-scrapped/#findComment-3575066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Indeed, but beware the trap of a rumour "matching" other rumours. Always remember the lies and trickery of the xenos and traitor is designed to seem reasonable and sensible but is only a veneer to shroud their despicable ways. Trust only in the Emperor and His eternal light!

Barnie25 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 With Catachan parts coming standard with every kit nowadays and everything being in plastic there is a chance that they won't discontinue the Catachan line or so logic would reason. Can't imagine them making new sprue molds for their tanks. They could however leave it as it is and just keep the parts on the sprue but that feels kind of sloppy.

walter h Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It could be that old lines are or will be brought to an end .Clear the dead lines make room for a reboot.

WarriorFish Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If there is any truth to this rumour then we can only hope that is the case! From what I am aware it's only the Catachan trooper box that really need some attention. I think the Heavy Weapons guys are better? Though not to the standard of the CCS which is one of the newest Guard kits. That and the latest vehicle kits have Catachan commanders so it feels a waste for GW to throw it all away. The CCS box especially as that is full of great bits - I have two and I don't collect Catachan!

clanfield Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I can see the old lead ranges getting the chop ,maybe not so much the catachans ,as to rumors there's a ton of these doom ones emerging today so I call salt for this some ones read the sale ones and thought muhahah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285877-non-cadian-models-getting-scrapped/#findComment-3575322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Catachans were unpopular in 5th because they brought nothing to the table. Give them some cool rules or units and they will be popular again. I can believe that they will discountinue lines. They are slowly plummeting and don't know what to do anymore. It sees that dramatic yearly price increases won't cut it anymore.

Ultradad74 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The reason I went with a Cadian build was because I didn't want to deal with metal figures like Vostroyans. Hope they do a BT-esque "upgrade" kit so fans of other IG like steel legion, iron guard, Vostroyan and valhallans can build what they like relatively easily. Abhumans need a sprucing up if they're going to continue to play a role in 40k. Not a fan of Rough Riders.. But those who play them should have some kind of access to a kit. Guess we will see come (rumored) in April.

WarriorFish Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Latest vague scuttlebutt I heard was Catachan aren't be scrapped, which of course makes a lot of sense but with rumours flying left and right the smart Guardsman knows when to keep his head below the parapet... We can have a look again once it calms down a bit :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285877-non-cadian-models-getting-scrapped/#findComment-3585305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I feel like there's more around Catachans (models and fluff) than Mordain, Valhallan, Tallarn, Vosrtoyan, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285877-non-cadian-models-getting-scrapped/#findComment-3585722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
