Kierdale Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I first read about this on Faeit: http://natfka.blogspot.jp/2014/08/forgeworld-discontinued-armies-tallarm.html?m=1 And checked FW's site itself, to find only the sniper team and tank commander remain. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294549-forge-world-tallarn-discontinued/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandwen Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 the main issue with them was the regular gw models were garbage. I loved the forgeworld stuff, but it didn't mesh well with the rest of the Laurence-of-arabia-in-space models. I'm not surprised that they are pulling then, and am only sad that they never did justice to the regular guardsmen of the set.

march10k Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 So you're saying my Pask is a one-of-a-kind: (for the uninitiated, that's the upper half of the long-discontinued muulaki-rider sergeant, I wanted to use him for some sabertusk riders, but it didn't work out) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294549-forge-world-tallarn-discontinued/#findComment-3763480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm not sure how I feel about this. This is bad of course, but for what reason? Is it they don't sell enough? Bad news. Is it GW saying no because they want to do Tallarn plastics? Unlikely but also bad news. Or rather bad news for me as I'd be unable to resist getting a load! :P As someone said in the comments perhaps it is really FW wanting to redo everything for when they reach Tallarn in the HH? We need more than Cadian troopers - they look cool but variety is the hallmark of the Guard. Give us updated Catachans and give us some of the other legendary regiment uniforms!

march10k Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Bite your tongue trooper! We don't need ruffles and feathers on our uniforms! We are no parade ground peacocks! Dye your fatigues in the mud of your homeworld and stain them in the blood of your enemies, and they will be grander than any palace guard's ridiculous costume. Now charge your lasrifle and keep a sharp eye, we don't know when the greenskins'll break cover and swarm over the wall. I'll hear no more of this foolish talk.

WarriorFish Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'd have more than a Platoon... I shouldn't, but I would :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294549-forge-world-tallarn-discontinued/#findComment-3765915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 FW are also cutting the Kroot models from their lines. Emails posted on Advanced Tau Tactica seem to indicate this will be permanent, and it's due to flagging sales. Apparently FW assess each line before producing another run of models after their stock runs out of them. It would explain the hiatus Death Korps had where they returned due to being a popular and still bought selection, while the Kroot FW models have terrible rules in gameplay, and the Tallarn don't have much going for them either.

march10k Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah, if I were going to buy guardsmen on FW, it would be kriegers or elysians...certainly not tallarn...they'd be even below gas mask cadians on my wish list..."hostile environment troopers?" C'mon, man, they're cadians with kasrkin helmets and facemasks, not a whit of originality!!! /edit/ Drool...kriegers would make EXCELLENT forward sentries with autocannons...which is the mainstay of my 7th edition force...I freaking love the greatcoats, and the autocannon teams are great, too!

RADU LYKAN Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 This really puts a spanner in the plans I had for my ash waste nomads/desert guard platoon, at least I managed to get a mukaali a while back, but I really wanted the snipers and a heavy weapons team, not cool forge world, not cool :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294549-forge-world-tallarn-discontinued/#findComment-3766426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
