TrawlingCleaner Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Thankfully I managed to snag one for myself as a birthday present. It's a shame really, they're really cool models Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347888-last-change-to-buy-forgeworlds-space-wolves-venerable/#findComment-5098325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fahlnor Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I'm really frustrated by Forgeworld's lack of communication at the moment. They've had a vast collection of items go LCTB recently with no explanation of what's happening or why. Don't suppose anyone knows what's going on?

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Molds have a life span. Perhaps these are meeting their end. Also with the success of the 30k plastic stuff maybe they are thinking about moving forgeworld to plastic. This is purely conjecture no inside knowledge.

NightHowler Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I can't believe it's lifespan of the molds running out. They literally just came out with the 30k space wolves models and now they're gone. It's been what? A year? Maybe two? I really wanted to buy some of those, but finances didn't allow it and now they're gone.

I understand that you and a bunch of people are upset at this move. But they are a company and they specialize in a lot of very specific models/molds. They know that only a specific number of people will buy said molds and once that rush dries out they need to move along. GW does the same thing. But! Spaces Wolves codex is coming out soon! Something to be totally excited about! You guys might be getting some new molds as well!

Typically they make new molds but clearly they're not having it with this particular product.

Fahlnor Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 There were a lot of issues with the 30K SW models and the community kicked off and created a rather large wave of negative press (quite rightly) - I suspect they might be resculpting those particular models. I don't buy that it's a mould issue for the other models, though - we're seeing such huge and sweeping removals of models from sale that there's no way they can have all just suddenly stopped being fit for purpose. To be honest, I really don't care what the reason is - I just wish they would communicate with us and let us know. Are moulds being retooled? Are these models switching to plastic? Are they pulling the models from sale entirely? GW proper has made a massive step up in their communication and engagement with the community and it seriously astonishes me that we're suddenly seeing such a massive removal of models with absolutely no explanation whatsoever.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 While o agree not all of these are mold issues the space wolf venerable dread has been out a while. I think as long as I've been in the hobby which is 7 years now. Tha ts why I suggested the mold might be the issue on this one. I agree that more communication would be nice.
