Drukhari and Webstore Weirdness?

[ThePenitentOne]

On the Canadian Webstore, Wracks are now listed as "Sold Out" rather than temporarily out of stock, though this is not the case on the UK site.

 

The Drukhari combat patrol is listed as "Sold Out" on the UK site, but not the Candian site.

 

The Tantalus is listed as "Sold Out" on both.

 

I've long suspected that if any Drukhari core units (Kabalites, Wyches and Wracks) were getting updated this edition, it would be Wracks. And because Drukhari also need Grotesques, I thought they might be released as a KT split box- similar to how Ogryns can be included in a Ratling Kill team, I'm wondering if the split box may take the form of a KT box including both Wracks and Grotesques... five or six Wracks with one or two Grotesques?

 

Early to speculate, of course. But this store weirdness might be a sign of things to come.

I hope so!

 

The fact they didn't even speak about lady malys or the future codex in the summer preview make me think that we will not see anything for us this year.

 

We desperately need some miniatures refresh.

Occam's Razor suggests it’s just poor stocking. 
 

edit: maybe these will become made to order

I've seen people bring up Wracks before when talking about core units getting refreshed but I've never really understood why, especially over something like Wyches. They're younger than Wyches and Kabalite Warriors and don't feel particularly old, is 11 years old in miniature terms? I know age isn't the only factor and more recent kits have been re-done but wracks don't look particularly bad, I can't think of anything about them that might need re-doing. Is there something I'm missing? 

[Ming the Merciless]

Of the 3 battleline units I think Wyches are the most likely to be updated, they're still on slotta bases. All 25mm base Drukhari could do with upsizing to 28.5mm but the sculpts are all still excellent.

Wracks coming in boxes of five is one of the things that makes me suspect they may be up for renewal; also, if Grotesques are getting redone, doing Wracks at the same time would be good for consistency.

 

I hadn't thought about the slotta-wyches issue. One of the things that is great about the Kabalite and Wyches kits is their ability to swap parts between them. If either get redone, that's gone.
