Hello there.
Word is slowly getting out about Games Workshop’s purported big announcement for today.
Despite not having heard anything officially debunking the whole prohibition on sales to some countries, apparently the rumoured change from metal to resin as the raw material for some miniatures is indeed a fact. Blogs all over the internet are reporting that from the 28th of may onwards metal miniatures which had been “direct only” items (meaning you could only order them directly from Games Workshop’s online store of through an in store ordering station) will once more will available on the shelves as resin, or resin-metal hybrid kits. These models will be available in limited numbers at first so stores are already arranging pre-orders of them.
The final confirmation for many has appeared on the facebook page of Games Workshop: Stuttgart where a post reported:” Am 28. Mai beginnt die Revolution: Wir bringen “Citadel Finecast” raus. Achtet morgenauf den Newsletter. Wir sehen uns”
With the help of google we now know that reads:
“On the 28 of may the revolution begins: We will be starting citadel finecast. watch out for the tomorrow newsletter”.
That post has been pulled out of the air but when prompted by another facebook who questioned about the whereabouts of the prior announcement Games Workshop: Stuttgart replied asking the user to “Come in your hobby center, or wait for the blog today;)”.
Apparently we’ll hear more about it as the day progresses.
I’ll update as soon as we hear anything new, for now, here’s the list of miniatures being re-issued in resin with their full retail prices (there’s been a noticeable price increase on these models):
