I mean, GW anouncing the Coteaz mini on 28th of august to release It barely few weeks after would also be weird. Btw, the forces of order are now making a come back: only losing on 53-47 But you meant the one without code... people can just spam them. Still, the code one is slowly increasing for SCE. For a second I thought you were talking about the main vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you also have to consider the chances of selling the statue. They are not cheap, even for this kind of statues standards nor Weta Workshop standard. The Abaddon one cost 1750 € and they produced 700. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small number of dedicated fans is much better than a larger number of fairweather fans for this kind of product. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, even me, a lifelong devotee of Chaos, has been lured in by the funny little green sods! I never had an army of them, but I collected quite a few bits and bobs (mainly to use in Warhammer Quest). I have to admit that if I would have to pick a new army it would be GSG. The little fun touch is super appealing and throggs add some interesting counterpart. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but imo that actually pushes against going for, say, a generic stormcast given that none of them really have the same kind of fanbase compared to Abaddon. In that context, might as well go for something a bit out of left field. Add to that @Chikout's point about GSG fans being hardcore (that's the kind of fan you need to be able to sell these kinds of things) and, more generally, goblins being 'in' at the moment in wider nerd culture and it stops being quite so bizarre a decision. RE: the stuff I was saying about textures and such, Weta do want to make a certain kind of product. There are plenty of other statues makers working in the same space. Weta's niche (outside of LotR) is going for these hyper-detailed textured examples and they're going to tend towards projects that can show that off. Goblins and Skagrott in particular aren't the only thing from AoS they could work on but I can see it being a consideration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought a similar statue and I think most of the companies try to take advantage of that kind of stuff, even with that the loonking is a weird option, IMO. Plus the warhammer premium on the cost.

Being primarily a Cities and only secondarily a Gloomspite fan, and as someone who definitely doesn't have 3 different Loonbosses, 3 different Shamans, and would never write an extensive Word document codifying the rules of her army's Moonclan robe colours, trims and patterns signifying rank, status and specialisation, I deny this claim. 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverchosen Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Roadmap is pretty clean so far, I was suprised to see Vampire Coasts getting a release before Silent People or Malerion vs Tyrion but it is great to see Beasts of Chaos back. 5 21 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
