AoS NEW *rumor*

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. :Librarian Isador Akios

 

Skeptically hopeful then, maybe

 

He's still available over here. Probably just the usual weird stocking nonsense GW has.

 

also no longer available online are scout marines, the turmanis ultra, several of the new machanacus kits, the new flayed ones, and drukari Kabolites. make of that what you will.

 

Eh, whenever a model goes out of stock people start to wonder if it's either being discontinued or replaced. 99% of the time it's just GW either messing with their website or just waiting for more models to be produced.

 

While true, normally that is when the says temp not available online. Kroak in NA is saying no longer available and dread saurian is 404. Otherwise I wouldn't have said anything.

That being said I'll be patient and wait. It's probably something silly on their site

 

They’ve been having issues with distribution in North America. He’s still available in the UK (which is the only one it matters for when something is actually going).

 

Then why not say temp not available? I'm wondering if someone on the website made a mistake and put up the wrong labels.

 

I doubt his model is getting replaced, it has been in and out if stock on the NA site throughout the last year.

However if he did get a new model would people just want a redone "normal" slann size model or some kind of large "centerpeice" type model? And if the latter do you have ideas what it should be?

 

They’re also having an issue with that part of the website, some bug that causes temporarily unavailable stock to show as no longer available.

 

If that's the case then fair enough!

 

I know... but a lizard can dream. Ha ha ha.

 

I wouldn't be opposed to more robust "centerpiece" model. But that would mean a bigger base.

 

While I really like Kroak as he is, GW *loves* their big hero centerpiece models. I could definitely see them making a massive model for him sitting on top of his throne on a big whirlwind of magic. While he would be much more powerful on his own than he is right now, I think they would end up nerfing him overall. Make him big and powerful, but still not quite as good as he is with his full list of add-ons and entourage right now, but yet more expensive. I say that mostly because I can't imagine GW wanting him to overshadow Teclis. Buthey, maybe a Lizardmen fan gets to make his rules

 

Why should the teachers of magic have the strongest magic user.

 

Hell, the Slann, and possibly a majority of the older sauras, are older than the Realms. Sigmar is a whelp, and that goes for his little elf friends too.

 

I'm guessing that whenever our next book comes out, we will get a plastic dual kit for kroak and a generic slann. That's basically the way they do things now, which is be super happy with. Especially if we also get a plastic salamander/razordon dual kit, that would be amazing.

 

eh what?
