If they are supposed to reap skullz why do they have huge hammers to crush them?
Or am I just sprouting hate because they are awful models?  lol

No thems not hammers, they are big blunt Axes?

Still not that impressed with them, especially the heads actually, and of course the price.

Removed a couple of posts featuring scans from WD. Do not post copyrighted material, if you please, especially GW.

For future reference are people allowed to post links to sites showing these images or is a no go all together? :)

I've started to hear rumblings that some of the old discontinued licences may be bought up to bring vintage Citadel models back into production. Literally, that's all I've heard and I don't know who, when or how reliable the info is. Could be a good earner.

Bit tricky, that one. Generally, I'd rather people do not post any links to copyrighted materials or detailed descriptions on how to find them.

Foundry have quite a few ex-citadel bits I think. Oriental Heroes, Men At Arms, Mercenaries, Feudals, Pack Animals, Medieval Cannons, Wars Of Religion & (I think) some of their Vikings are ex-citadel too.

As far as I know they have had those for ages. I'm not sure that sets a precedent here.

Dates back to when GW/Citidel dropped out of historical stuff completely I think, and happily they ended up somewhere, nothing to do with any new rumours.

Still I would be greatly surprised to see any of the old fantasy miniatures/sculpts re-appear, outsourced to some other manufacturer. Thats counter to the burn/destroy policies of GW surely?

Outsourcing the IP for virtual use - eg computer games, yes we see them doing that already, but would be an interesting surprise to see physical miniatures turning up from legitimate legal source other than OOP auctions.

Then again they might do it just to mess up all the OOP auctions...

Yeah, there were a lot of blurred lines between companies back in the day, but Foundry was set up specifically as the forgotten child of Citadel and took a lot of the 'historical' lines over when GW wanted everything to be more specifically 'Warhammer'.

I'm talking about old Warhammer lines, Oldhammer if you will. But as I say, it's still just nods and winks right now and I don't now how far along it is.

'tis some nods and winks to keep an eye on, as if something does actually come out of them, there are so many old things it would be nice to see in production again.

Preferably at affordable non-gw modern style pricing of course....

On a slight change of note regarding old Warhammer lines, RPE have now re-released the old Citadel Tom Meier Zombie Dragon for £10 which may interest some.

Any clues where? RPE's webshop isn't the most intuitive to navigate, and I don't see the zombie dragon under the obvious 'dragons' category.

No, don't think so - unless it's an earlier version.
Not bad, though.

Got it, ta!

Vanvlak: you sure? Looks like the same one on SOLegends, Collecting Citadel Minis, etc.

Really?
As I said, could be an older one - I'm familiar with the Marauder one.

It IS nice anyway.
