So I had an informative conversation with my GW rep just now...
First, any and all Necron models are not really available to order. He highly recommends not ordering ANY Necron stuff unless someone has pre-paid for it. For those of you that can't read between the lines here... Necrons WILL be the next army. I was more or less told exactly that. As a point of reference, I had no trouble restocking Tau.
Second (and this may not be news for most), but GW has discontinued it's metal model line and will be re-releasing many of their metals in resin. This new line will be called "Citadel Fine Cast" and the first 118 or so (of 300) models will be released on May 28th. I have been informed that they will be a VERY VERY limited in their initial release, with GW stores and stores over seas getting "first dibs". My rep said that he expects very little of the 118 models to be available to us the first month after release.
There are lists of models being released on May 28th on sites across the internet. I will post the list and the model prices in US Dollars later tonight or tomorrow once I receive the email.
The bad news: The models are the exact same sculpts as their metal counterparts but will be more expensive. In some cases the models have gone up slightly, in other cases they've gone up nearly 25%. Example: Hive tyrant.
When I asked if this would replace the annual GW price increase I was told that the price increase has already been rolled into the cost of these models but will not replace it entirely. Lame.
Finally, to end on a good note, the Dark Eldar wave 2 preview items will be arriving in Plainville (and probably Abington too) this Thursday. The items we're getting are the Pain Engine, Venom, and Scourges.
I will likely know more next Monday.

Does Games Workshop secretly own Privateer Press?
-
What a shame. So many nice models will be unavailable :(
-
This move is so strange that I am actually really interested to see where this goes. I can understand their move from metal to resin but are they going for an exclusivity thing like FW with the limited runs and higher prices? Are they trying to punish FLGS for not being a GW? I am just really confused by alot of this. We will see how it pans out.
-
I don't know if I'm a fan of this. Happy for my necromancer tho
-
It drives me nuts that less than half the metal range is being done in this limited release. Any cool conversions will need eBay's help now and I'm sure the prices for NIB minis will be on the rise.

*Jumps up and down* Did he give an estimate when? Awhile ago you said when I bought my Nightbringer, something about it being special order only If I remember correctly?

Sorry for terrible formatting. Product, old price, new price. Oddly, I don't think any of this is metal....

Well, he emailed me the list of "Finecast" stuff. The formatting is impossible to post. If you would like it, email me at ChaseLaq@gmail.com and I'll send it to you.

Omg it like every summer."oh hey lets lets slap 3$ on all our products" if black reach was still 65 this game would be so easy to start, but now you can get xboxs for 100$. Gaming has never been so easy

While you are somewhat correct, models don't have the tendency to be phased out and be useless once newer ones come out. Besides, it's warhammer, IDGAD how much it costs, I'll still end up paying up the butt for it for no reason.
-
Hmm, I read a leaked report from GW That someone posted on Tau Online in february of this year and so far it's predicted every release pretty accurately. Provided it's still correct, we should be seeing new Tau in quarter 4 of this year, and Eldar quarter 1 or 2 of next year. We'll see though.

I wasnt talking about vet 40k players.
Well need young kids to start so the game will grow. AOBR at 100$ is a bit much for a kid in highschool with no income but there are cases were i am wrong. The reason i really start 40k was AOBR because before its release i had a 1000 point army for years but then aobr was 60$ it got me in the game on a whole other level.

I dunno. THe 3rd ed box was $90 right? I remember I got one as a Christmas present. But then I got more (to get more Space Marines) and split it with friends. If anything, it made me make friends in the hobby.
I still hate GW price increases.

Units do cycle in and out of effectiveness. Until the most recent Eldar codex, Shining Spear have been useless, for example. I've a collection of guard models based on the old lots-of-infantry style that I haven't been able to work in an age where vehicles are cool. I've always suspected that some rules changes are intended to temp customers to buy models to increase the effectiveness of their force.
I just haven't been in the mood for it lately. My very diverse and versatile Chaos army from many years back has turned into three specialized Guard, Demon and Chaos armies, each forced to fight in too narrow a style for my taste.

Just a question does this mean you can't special Order any Metal Figurines even if they aren't being released in the initial shipping? Don't See Vul'Kan Hestan on there and someone about being the Forgefather scream I need him in metal.
-
If you want any metals email me or special order at the store NOW.
I was told "no" on half of the metal special orders this week.
-
OH BOY!! A RESIN SCREAMING SKULL CATAPUL----*SNAP*
I also love how they aren't making any new metal tomb King's or liche priests....not liche priests are IMPOSSIBLE to get because they're discontinued and aren't coming in this batch of new stuff

Does the fine cast stuff have better detail than the pewter stuff?

Well find out Friday bro
-
Does the fine cast stuff have better detail than the pewter stuff?
The sculpts are exactly the same. I would imagine the models are nicer in some cases due to less flash and fewer bent or warper pieces.
They models do look nicer in some of the pictures on the website and in the new White Dwarf that came out today. Ian speaks about reasons why this might be in another thread. I don't really know too much about it.
