Excellent Wiki of Unreleased Mini's!

[Jedi152]

Ok, so i found this link on Dakka, and it's excellent!

Collecting Citadel Miniatures Wiki.

It basically has an archive of unreleased and limited release minis, which i've certainly never heard of - and i thought i knew a lot about this hobby.

Everyone knows about the 'adult' witch elves and Vect's slaves, but did you know that GW made a Halfling pimp? Or that they originally designed Cypher with a face mask (which looks far superior to the current Cypher).

How's about a range of Cadian officers and tank crews that were never released? And my favourite: Did you know they designed an entire range of TK tomb guard that all had to be scrapped because they looked too much like the guard in The Mummy Returns?

An excellent website, although they are missing quite a few bits. Check it out if you get chance!

nice find, those variant tomb guard were very impressive...i want some

variant bone giant not so much

[Acolyte of Bli'l'ab]

Wow, thanks for posting these..Those variant tomb guard look great, and I dig some of those unreleased necrons too. Nice!

Those are very cool, and I too thought that I had seen it all.
Reaper had one of their "fantasy army packs" (3 minis to a blister) #14115 - Nefsokar tomb guards
That look an awful lot like these guys - Also came out right after the mummy movie. I wonder how they got away with it and not GW?

Are you sure they’re all unreleased? I bought this one at games day a while ago…

[Jedi152]

Really? I believe you should get that bad boy on eBay!

e-mail the guy, and i'm sure he'll move it to the limited release section.

Some of the choices baffle me. Why re-sculpt Cypher without a mask? Why not release the god-specific chaos spawn (the Nurgle one can be seen in the HoC book)

That's a shame...

GW would of gotten rich with this one...

Epic Ork Walker Tank


I really like this one...

Epic Predator + Stowage


Lets just get a mold of an electric shaver and stick some icons on it...

Epic Thunderbolt? Sculpted by Bob Naismith (that's why!)

Fascinating stuff. Some of those unreleased models are really rather good. I can only say i envy those who own some of those models. The chaos models are very interesting- god specific spawn and banners and the arabian wizard looks fit for release. Very interesting to see just what does get made, and how much makes it to release.

Thanks for sharing that.

The Arabian wizards looks perfect for a Mordheim release.

And i love the Jester with no legs. It'd be superb in a Bret peasant unit. Presumably kept back from release for reasons of political correctness?

[Flame]

Theres a lot of stuff that they make that goes unreleased.

At the moment theres a superb new Dragon, (different to the new HE one) that aint getting released.

[leonmallett]

I recall having an adeptus mechanicus priest that i don't see up ther and have never sen released. Makes you wonder if the Wiki (as cool as it is) is only scratching the surface...

[Tooooon]

Far better than the normal cypher model? Cypher is the single best GW model out there matey.

But nice find

Its World of Warcraft: http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...mm_high%29.jpg

Is that Lahmian Pole Dancing?

[Keravin]

I have one of the Catachan snipers under the Imperial Guard unreleased. Very odd.

The Elf Mage ended up getting limited release - I picked up two in one of the last sales GW did. They were just in a bits bag. Sold one and eventually I'll sell the other.

[Jedi152]

I have one of the Catachan snipers under the Imperial Guard unreleased. Very odd.

I thought so too, but the blurb explains it - it was designed with a face mask which was later resculpted as a half mask, one of the the current Catachan snipers.

[Scythe]

Nice find, there are some interesting models out there. Thanks for sharing.

Tough like Rathgar pointed out not all of the are unreleased. Some of the witch elves aren't.

[snurl]

I got the unreleased wizard for Warhammer quest in an mail order box just before the holidays a few years back. Never knew just what he was until now.
I guess i'll have to dig him outta my bits box.

The Nurgle termie looks really nice. Not too keen on the power fists but apart from that it looks good.

Why does GW not release some things? Fair enough some stuff is probably best never seeing the light of day (penis-head beastmen for example!) or is too big to fit into a blister (Lahmian vampire) but some stuff like the SoB icon bearer looks good and fits in well with the current line of models, so why not release it?

[Old School]

Whoops!
Someone must of been eating shrooms when he/she/it sculpted this...

Star Wars Walker

Or is it K-9 from Doctor Who?


I think the word to describe this one is........understated

Battlefleet Gothic Chaos Destroyer Prototype

[Jedi152]

Has the guy that 'sculpted' that ever even seen The Empire Strikes Back?
