I'd just like them to make laser destroyer bitz for the super-heavies...

Pretty sure they just consider that the same weapons can double as lascannon arrays and laser destroyers. Seems to be how they looked at them with the plastic Spartan.

@Gert: You're probably right on both counts (though I'm not sure that I'd write off SA as a "dead project"). The infantry will come, and the FAQ will probably happen after everything is out (*cough* Cults and Militia *cough* Daemons of the Ruinstorm *cough*).

With regard to C&M and Ruinstorm it's been a little over a month since the final Legion focussed Exemplary Battles. I'd wager within the next few months both armies will return as PDFs alongside the release of the Traitor Assassin guy. That would take us up to about summertime.
As for Solar Aux, it's been five years since they got a model release and even then that was a surprise.

Probably on DotR and Cults and Militia (a FAQ for the Astartes Exemplary Battles units would be nice, as well).

But, five years? Ok, how long did Tyranids go without anything new again? Or Dark Eldar?

Thanks to GW's new trend of releasing at least 1 model with a Codex each edition, most armies will get SOMETHING within a roughly 2-4 year span.

Solar Auxilia... if GW is serious about supporting or selling those models, they'll need to be made plastic. The whole reason people are getting into 30k is because it's actually relatively affordable now. A lot of the new players are trying to find as many ways to avoid resin as possible. The time of people buying huge resin krieg and solar aux armies are gone; economic turmoil, inflation, and price rises have made sure of that.

Tyranids was 7.

2014 through 2021.

(IIRC, )

Thank you, H.B.M.C.. So 5 is not an outlier.

Ruinstorm would be fun, give my 3rd legion an excuse to play a list representing late during their fall. Throw in some deamonettes.

Not a news or rumor but my bet is that deredeo will be released much later alongside plastic flyers. Assault upgrade sprue, jump packs and land speeders seem more likely after they are done with tanks.

Do we have any news or ideas on ruinstorm daemons arrival?

No? But then again we don't have the actual imperial army and the reserve of the imperial army either...

It would be prudent though to release them before the traitor esoterist is released, afterall the sole reason for that unit/consuls existence is summoning daemons, whilest the loyalist esoterist should've just been renamed into exorcist.

I am very much enjoying the age of the plastic Tank but please GW release some plastic assault marine arms.

I wonder what we'll see this week

Except we aren't talking about 40k though. Solar Aux haven't been featured in a primary HH publication prior to HH2 since 2016 when the Crusade Imperialis army book was released and only got a free PDF unit in 2018.
I have seen the notion that the army was the pet project of someone no longer at the FW studio but I'm not sure on the validity of that idea. But as for Solar Aux ever making the jump to plastic, not within the next decade at the very least.

Ok red alert because the Fellblade is also now sold out on the UK FW store.

Interesting. Adepticon at the end of March. Wonder if it's true and we'll see previews...

The WHW Open Day is this weekend and as per the WarCom article:

Did we mention there’ll be some brand new models shown off for the first time? If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be one of the first in the world to see the hottest upcoming miniatures in the flesh (or plastic), this is the event for you.

I'm thinking Farsight and Snikrot at the very least, some AoS stuff, and if these are now OOP then perhaps the Super Heavies. I would absolutely love to grab a Fellblade.

Fellblade and Glaive both…..gone gone, from Forgeworld.

Possibly Thursdays tease/reveal

Confirmed is confirmed

Kind of makes sense, even 40K Primaris players can use Space Marine superheavies. Will be selling like hotcakes

Ready your cash cannons!

Hope they are out for sale by May!

Maybe?

But "done with tanks" appears to be quite far away...

Ish.

Not that many more left now.

Vindicators, Sabres and Arquitor chassis.

What do you do to keep them from dying instantly? The models are cool as hell, but not worth the time/money/effort/points to actually use them in a game.

Are you seriously implying that they WON'T pull an entirely new pattern of armour outta their ass just to drag out Daemons/Cults/Militia.

Your faith in GW is stronger than mine.

They seem to be intent on dragging out the 30k release as long as humanly possible. My group lost interest 6 months ago when the game had been out for 6 months and all we had was the stuff in the starter box. All the popular FW stuff for 30k has basically been perma-OOS since the game launched, at least here in the states.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Getting a 30k-era stormtalon gunship, or a heavier version of the land speeder, or an anti-air tank like the Hunter/Stalker that came out for 40k a while back, there's plenty of room for them to add new things.

Looks like they already have assets for most of those.
Both Vindicators just need front and top sprues added to the rhino hull
The Arquitors new middle sections and some bits to relocate the exhaust for the Sicaran tracks
Where as the Sabres and Fellblade/ Glaive looks like they will be full new kits

Check your Libers. So far, barring the Chaos Assassin dude, nothing has been released not covered in a book ruleswise.

Also, the Fellblade and other tanks mentioned above are still available in US site.

iirc, there's a system in place in the GW websites where if something runs out of stock it can disappear entirely from the site to prevent orders from coming in that can't be satisfied or something to that effect. It's just a flag that a worker has to check and then it comes back.

So yeah, I wouldn't put toooooo much stock into the fell-variants from coming out super quickly, but you never know. I'd personally prefer to see them come out with the other tanks, like the Vindicators and other Sicaran variants first.

Glaive is back up. Oh well.

Not for me - still "no longer available" on UK site on my view
