The New Daemon Prince

[Dark Primus]

My guess is to the end of the year.

[Znail]

Considering what we know of other releases so would I think next year. Its a major release as it involves the second wave of Daemons, so we wont see it clash with something else.

Meanwhile theirs talk of a new plastic deff dread and warbuggy guess chaos has to wait even longer.Like come on Orks got loads of stuff with their update and their second wave why should chaos have to wait again.

[scheppo]

I assume orks sold quite satisfactorily.

Nevermind that Orks are the easiest to scratchbuild vehicles for, or really any unit for that matter.

I guess now I should wonder if I will be able to complete my Demon army before or after the Necrons get a codex and model update.

I'm sick and tired of hearing this. It's really insulting to Ork players to force them to convert/scratch build vehicles just because it's "easy".

I have converted my fair share of Ork vehicles, and I would LOVE a proper kit.

For one thing it will save me from having to look at so many crappy, CRAPPY conversions/scratch builds that were so "easily" done.

[loveless]

What? Orks might get plastic Dreads and Kans? Unthinkable! Why should the Ork players get replacements for their overpriced metals while Chaos players are waiting for a replacement for their normally priced metal model?

Outrageous!



As often as it gets shown, I'm betting we'll see the Daemon Prince before Dreads and Kans - people seem to just run rampant with rumours here.

There was a rumour not all that long ago about cavalry models still to be released this year in the Fantasy section. Mind you, with Azhag coming out, it could be Ork cavalry, but there's always the chance it could be Seekers as well.

The world's not ending, you'll still get your plastic Prince.

GW's probably using the Prince to force-prove a point they love to make.
GW: "Well, we showed you the plastic Prince over a year ahead of time and it just made you all mad. So see, we're right when we say that showing you things 3 months in advance at most is the best way to keep your attention."

But it is easy

I concur, though, they need new kits.

On topic, I wonder why it takes so long until the new prince is released since the model is known for a long time now. It seems totally against the latest "we concentrate on the next big thing"-policy.

Not that I like the model anyway, just wondering.
Anybody with an answer to that?

I believe 2nd wave Daemons got pushed back for Planetstrike, originally the Daemon stuff would have come out this month, but GW decided that a summer splash with Planetstrike would be a better idea, pushing the Daemon releases back later into the year.

I would hardly call the chaos dreadnought model a normal metal model (both in price and options).

but having said that if gw releases an updated or new model for anyone then at least they are moving (slowly) forward

I agree. Good thing I was talking about the metal Daemon Prince

[the neckbone]

I agree. Good thing I was talking about the metal Daemon Prince

i was talking about models in general

[Kettilman]

Well whenever it comes out, looks like my Chaos army is finally getting the Demon Prince I've been wanting. I like the metal one, don't get me wrong, just a lot of people using the same model where I'm at, and it'd be nice to get a plastic one for more conversion options.

[maze ironheart]

Well when it comes out it comes out hoepfully it will be soon.

GWs two busiest times of the year are summer and xmas and they tend to release things that higher on the hobby cone that everyone can use to maximise sales. Thats why armies always seem to come out in the spring and fall times, which are the slowest for GW.

Here's the hobby cone:

whoa i want one of those

[CitizenNick]

A daemon prince or a hobby cone?

[The Judge]

Not sure where the hobby cone would fit in the hobby cone, to be honest.

I don't agree with this because most of the scratch built ork vehicles i have seen look like crap. Gluing plastic card to a hot wheels toy doesn't qualify as proper scratch building
