WarriorFish Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Courtesy of Maximvs in the N&R topic about the "made to order" from GW: http://i.4cdn.org/tg/1476194281828.jpg Kasrkin, various regiments... this is fantastic news! Who else will be joining me in bulking up some collections? I quite fancy the Kasrkin as carapace Vets... No rumour/news on how the system will work. Hopefully it won't be too expensive, so I'm wondering if some form of bulk/delay system will be in place? Update this topic with more when you find it comrades!

WarriorFish Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Too early for that duz, this is all we know or has even been rumoured so we'll need to wait to potentially learn more. I'm hoping the cost is appropriate to before as while it'd be easy to beat the second hand prices you can see, straight from the source should be significantly better...

Arkaniss Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Aw no old metal Cadians? :( That's disappointing! I thought finecast was dead? If they bring it back it needs to be better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I never had an issue with finecast that wasn't self-inflicted (the resin is very soft). But I started buying these kits long after they were first introduced. And they are fiddlier to clean up than Forge World's products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Aw no old metal Cadians? That's disappointing! I thought finecast was dead? If they bring it back it needs to be better quality. I was wondering this, probably less that the Cadian metals are older and more that there's a current plastic line? There are no Catachan here either (other than Marbo) as well as some other choices missing. Perhaps there will be a second wave? Finecast was definitely taken out back, but that was Old GW. Perhaps New GW will use it here with a different mixture? They could call it Finercast :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 My wallet my poor wallet. But no Mordian assault weapons though shame. well there is the GL... Fortunately I'm fairly decked out with GL, Meltas and flamers Although I wouldn't say no to the latter 2 Another AC would be nice so I can round out at 3 and another LC to make 9. ;) Bahaha finercast! Yeh I'm curious to see what they're cast in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It's says October 15th.. maybe there will be other lists of fun items that change every 6 weeks? They will wait until wait until x amount of models are bought before casting them? I would say this will be resin. Looking forward to purchasing models I missed before. They must then release rules for via data slates for returning characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I don't think this means data slates, they could just be the model and that's that. It'd be nice of course but I'm not expecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Fox Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Irony being I have one of those Lord Solar Macharius models in metal that's still NIB and will probably stay that way as I have absolutely no idea when I got it or what I'd do with it *grins* Now I'd love another couple Kasrkin Sergeants to let me field 4 squads of 5 with different special weapons instead of 2 squads of 10. Then I've got my 2 squads of really old metal Stormies and now I can add in plastic Tempestus as well. Ahhh, good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steellegionnaire85 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I just want steel legion sergeants and old school storm troopers. That would make my day. I have a lot of things I would like to make. Rough riders melts guns and flamers. Not to mention endless other conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Funnily enough, a bloke at my local shop was just expressing his disappointment at the fact that GW did no longer sell the old vehicle crew for his IG. Guess that fixes that problem for him. But Kasrkin. Prettiest Guard infantry ever made, in my (admittedly not-really Guard-oriented) opinion. Very happy to go buy some.

Sviar Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Some Karskin Meltas and a Techpriest would be nice to acquire. That would give me something to paint at the next ETL. Unless GW release the new 8mm Epic range before, then a whole IG army will turn up at the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Just to update this, latest scuttlebutt says that these will be in metal as before. That makes sense from my limited understanding of the processes i.e. it's much easier to adopt the originally intended materials, but I was expecting something other than metal. Perhaps that was more hoping! If nothing else this would be a good indicator that New GW is willing to overturn Old GW's decisions, though granted after the Finecast debacle perhaps not the most difficult of decisions in this case :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkaniss Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Metal? Not sure if that's good news or not I seem to remember they scrapped it for cost reasons? Does this mean these made to order models will be pricey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 The same relative cost as before may be a bit too much to hope for as these will be "made to order", but it depends on how it works I suppose. If the 15th of October is indeed the release date we should get all the details soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The two things that I hope are: 1. They are metal 2. They are relatively close to their original price I very much doubt that these (and future releases) will be a value option for creating new armies.

Arkaniss Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Metal is fine model-wise but I'm a little concerned that it'll be too expensive. That said I want olde Cadians who aren't on the list! Maybe they'll turn up later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 I was hoping for something other than metal, as I don't enjoy working with it plus I'd want to do some conversions and the like which are more effort with metal. As for the old Cadians I am hoping they turn up later, but I'm not feeling optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Ten metal bloodletters used to be something like $60, and I suspect kaskrin cost as much, so yeah. They'll probably be at least as expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
