Models for Lizardmen and Dark Elves no longer available

[Harry]

Would make sense if they conform to the "armies get monstrous cavalry" model. Lizardmen most likely aren't being updated anytime soon, but plastic kits take a while to make

They do take a while to make.... But given that you don't know when they started making them it makes it hard to predict when they will be finished. How do you know they didn't start on them 12 months ago? ... 18months? ...two years? They could be ... as hastings hinted ..."just round the corner".

Wait, I was thinking that Hasting was clearly joking with his first remark (the second being more serious and just a confirmation of an existing rumour), but now you're mayking me doupt.

Please Hastings (or maybe Harry ?), could you maybe help poor me by giving a hint or two about what was serious or not ? Thanks in advance. :P

"Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall"

Well, it took years of work and hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars, but we've finally deciphered Harry's riddle-speak.

They could be ... "just round the corner".

Given that our previous information had them released late 2013, and Harry wouldn't emphasize Hastings hint that they're coming sooner without provocation, it can be reasonably assumed that they have an imminent release. Coupling this with the fact that their boxes have been pulled and we do not have a concrete release schedule for next month, it's safe to assume Witch Elves will be released next month.

"Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall"

That's a LoTR quote for those not in the know. Obviously he's implying that Hastings wouldn't say something arbitrary for the sake of arbitrary...ness. We can reasonably conclude that Carnosaur cav. are in the pipeline, if not in line for release with the Lizardmen (probably finecast, given the models pulled) wave next month.

See, not too hard.

[Harry]

See, not too hard.

I can't tell if you were being funny or not ... but you didn't do so well there if you were not joking.

hastings said 'just around the corner in connection with his lizardmen hint NOT his Dark Elf confirmation. AND he specificaly said 'not yet' on the witches.

and any monsterous Cavalry will be plastic kits not finecast.

and next month is a bit tooooo soon. When hastings says 'round the corner' he is speaking in GW time NOT real time.

All those wasted taxpayer dollers.

[Lord Dan]

It was a joke. Well, a hopeful joke.

[Why]

Whaaaaatttt? Carnosaur calvary in the pipeline, that is sweet.

[Gorbad Ironclaw]

and next month is a bit tooooo soon. When hastings says 'round the corner' he is speaking in GW time NOT real time.

So any time this decade then?

[Vaiuri]

I will be overjoyed to see any additions to my beloved Lizardmen, here's hoping a new book isn't a million miles away!

Does "next year" count?

[Zen21]

Does "next year" count?

Yes, yes it does!!! Do you have any other tidbits or keeping them close to your chest?

[Darnok]

Lizards like it warm, don't they?

[Holy_Combat]

Well I did get an email yesterday that stated that the witches are obsolete. Not bak ordered but flat out obsolete.

[Zen21]

Lizards like it warm, don't they?

Summer?

[Druchii Monkey]

Pure speculation but what would work well with some Dark Elf activity is some Dark Eldar activity.

Drazhar and a few of the Dark Eldar beasties are still metal aren't they, and Dark Eldar are one of the more recent 40K releases that need tying off with a few more models.

[Harry]

Lizards like it warm, don't they?

You and hastings are about as subtle as each other.

They are over a year away!

[Zen21]

But is it safe to assume next year? :P

[artificial orange]

so looks like there's a lizardmen / dark elves / tomb kings finecast wave in june

[Druchii Monkey]

Tomb Kings?

[Darnok]

so looks like there's a lizardmen / dark elves / tomb kings finecast wave in june

This is an overdose of wishful thinking. Nothing to see here...

This is indeed spot on.

[Druchii Monkey]

Please don't tell me they are finecasting the Witch Elves... aaaaaargh!

[Darnok]

Please don't tell me they are finecasting the Witch Elves... aaaaaargh!

Well, then I won't tell you. But it's happening nonetheless...
