Forge World Tallarn - discontinued

Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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.

Spoken like a...[sotovoce]filthy...Catachan.

prefer to go to their deaths looking their very best. ;)

 

I will miss the opportunity to get Tallarns as I'd have myself a platoon of them next over any others.

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.

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!
