Oops cross post!

Ragnar is resin now too, I mean shitecast, sorry. What about all the Imperial guard metals Tallarn, Mordian, Vallhallans? They have been around for ages too. Or did they dissapear for a bit? I know sometimes it takes a bit of digging to find stuff on the GW website...

I'm sure Norris would allow changes of moulds and castings material.

Metal IG were definitely later, 94ish.

The catalogues are unreliable as several of the 'NEW!' items in WD160, April 93, are in the Green 92 releases catalogue.

Unless figures were released in 3 figure blisters first then listed as 'NEW!' a few months later when on sale individually.

Oh god, we'll never know!

[westwaller]

...Unless someone has the relevant White Dwarf!... My Dad dumped all mine a few years back, along with the 2nd Edition 40k rule/codex/wargear books that were in the same pile!

[Andrew Rae]

Over to you, Mr May. WD156 and 159, and a forensic check of all listings up to 18 months prior to those dates.

Of course, there are innumerable Oldhammerers who could stroll over to their overstocked shelves, pull out the relevant magazines and check for us, but they don't care, man! They don't care about anything beyond 19-fucking-91!

[Elbows]

Yeah, and I'd ignore the tabs on the figures feet solely because GW has a habit of "releasing" models years after they were originally designed/tested.  Some of the plastic kits in the past have been released a year or more after they were designed (release dates don't match the plastic production/design dates).

[Humorous_Conclusion]

Ragnar was released in White Dwarf 156 along with Ulrik the Slayer. This was part of the Space Wolf army list which was still 40K 1st edition. The Avatar and Phoenix Lords didn't come along until 2nd edition.

However, the Stone Trolls (now called Rock gut Troggoths) were released in White Dwarf 155.

The consensus there is that the snotlings were always availablçe in some form by mail order since 1986.

[Andrew May]

Sorry Rea, just dropping in but on daddy duties today.

Good call on that stone troll above though!

It'll be resin not finecast.

Interesting piece in the wire magazine about necromunda this month.

[Elbows]

The computer game?  Because the folks who did Mordheim (meh) are doing a computer game version of Necromunda.  There is also the rumour of a new boxed game (easy - they just make some ganger sprues and throw in the current terrain = done).

Is that still going? I thought Shadow War ended up being the 'new' Necromunda.

Necromunda is dated for later in the year AFAIK.
it's really easy to bring a game back if you build up a big base of players who are fimilair with the rules beforehand. Those players playing shadow wars right now are a test bed, given a taste of necromunda to use their existing miniatures with.

Hopefully they will also do what they are doing with Bloodbowl and bring back the metals.

Indeed, still would like to add a few more gangs to the collection, but I refuse to pay those inflated prices everybody seems to be asking now...
