Heresy 3.0 in Spring/Summer

You might remember the Headsman, who went from something that would not work in the English language world, to a more generic scary metal mask.

 

 

Or you might remember this giant of the viith legion, replaced by a smaller model?

 

 

 

 

 

The praetor was re done due to an issue with the casting / mould causing a lot of failures.

Or the short-lived metal Possessed that were a persistent source of flak. Or the original Mark VI Space Wolves helmets. 

 

Or (a brief foray into people pointing out genuine mistakes) the missing grip on the Space Wolves Terminator Praetor's weapon when that was originally shown off.

 

The metal possessed were a 2003  release and were replaced in summer 2007 by the plastic kit. That's a reasonable amount of time as the metals were a stop gap kit.

 

 

 

On the subject of Diaz I know for a fact he is done as I know he has been painted by the studio

The metal Possessed were 2006, as they released just prior / during the Fall of Medusa V global campaign - I still have the White Dwarf issues where they first cropped up. Are you thinking of the old gribbly mutation sprue from 2003 that dropped around Codex: Eye of Terror?

 

I'm a bit leery r.e. "I know this" statements, particularly as I can't say I recognise you - but if you're confident in it I'm willing to bite.

Ah yes I'm thinking of the sprue, my apologies.

 

I can't say much more about Diaz apart from I know he is done and was painted a while ago, I've not seen him or had him described to me.

 

I suspect he will be the final reveal of 2.0 as the Mk6 tac marine was in sons of Horus colours was the first from memory

Does depend on how you define "some people" - it's entirely possible that Camba Diaz has gone through multiple design iterations within SGS and they've yet to hit one that satisfies them, whilst keeping in mind the feedback that was received r.e. Kaedes Nex and Aster Crohne.

It’s not.  

 

If you were talking about a set of models from the same legions with design similarities you might have a point,  but you aren’t.

 

These are very different models from different legions.  They are not going to think ‘hmmm must redesign Camba Diaz because a few very online people don’t like the filigree and blood drop on Crohne”

Exactly, re-design makes no business sense at this point, they are well past the design phase. GW's been selling the recent resin models in enough volume to go out of stock, doesn't seem like a concern.

I've also suspected some of the slower restocking for 30k is due to them building up supplies for 3.0's launch this year

You're either talking nonsense or risking someone's job. Both things that you should stop doing.

Don't see how this is any different from the rumours that Valrak hears and shares

[Marshal Rohr]

Diaz hasn’t been shown and released because the studio knows doing another fist character would be very poorly received right now. He will come with the waves of characters and consuls for 3.0.

I'm not sure why you would assume I think it is any different, aside from the fact that Valrak's rumours could be sourced from a pool of several hundred people. 

The amount of studio staff that would have painted any given HH model professionally is a lot smaller.

To be fair, it doesn't have to be someone who painted it, anyone handling marketing would have laid eyes on it as well...plus given how many knew that the Desolators had just been sitting there waiting until their time. Anyone passing through could have seen it

It's really not because that studio doesn't exist in a confined space. Much like Valraks sources

 

You have the design team, game team, photographers, presumably the WarCom team given that most of these articles are written well in advance and scheduled, anyone who happened to see a copy of Heresy 3.0 rulebook because he's probably in there like the other character models where in 2.0s

 

The other commenter didn't say the person who painted it told them, he said that someone did.

 

*edit. @ZeroWolfapparently types faster than I do. Ditto
