I'm wondering if any1 knows some resin, plastic, any non-metal models that look close enough to pass for SOBs.
What makes you say that?Give it a few months to a year and there should be plastic SOB.
Faith in the holy emperor?What makes you say that?
Any evidence to back up your statement?
and Squats are a competitative army to take against Tyranids...oh wait...Faith in the holy emperor?
In 5 years time.Yeah I would just wait for the new models when they update the Inquisition forces. Which they will do :biggrin:

Yes, that's true. I heard the exact same thing. I heard they're coming out with an entire new line plastic Witch Hunters, and an entire NEW line of Dark Eldar, and all new plastic Daemon Hunter terminators. I heard that it's coming out in 5 months...... 6 years ago!!!Give it a few months to a year and there should be plastic SOB.
That's true Cheese, they do sell it to independent retailers at 40% off and to store employees at 50% off and they STILL make a profit from that. Don't think that they sell it to employees at cost, or that they are only making 10% selling to independent retailers while the retailers make 40% profit. There's a reason that their stock is close to $400 a share, and it's not because they're making 10% profit form retailers.$20-50k for a mold apparently.
You also have to take into account the cost of the plastic, the cost of the packaging, power costs, employer wages, taxes, postage costs, etc.
And then they sell it to independent retailers for 40% of the RRP.
Ok, lets look at the business standpoint.$20-50k for a mold apparently.

You made me cry a little with this post...In 5 years time.
The fact that they released the Inquisition codices as a PDF just confirms that GW have no interest in making a new codex for them for a while.
If they were going to update the codex then there would be no point in doing the PDF.
The rumors about the new codex was relating to the PDF. The people that still claim the rumors of an actual codex coming are just being hopeful and cant accept that the PDF was the rumored codex.
As for new plastic models, the molds cost a FORTUNE, and it would be financial suicide.
And honestly, even if GW did make plastic Inquisition, they wouldn't sell much more than they do now. Their sales might pick up 10-50% for the Inquisition stuff, but it is still nowhere near financially viable for them to do so considering the massive costs.
They would be better off spending the money to develop new molds for popular armies, and not armies that rarely ever get played.
Id be happy to see the Inquisition get redone. New codex and new models.
However, its not going to happen. Not for a long time.
That there in is the Catch 22 of the Sisters of Battle and the Grey Knights.So... the Daemonhunters and Sisters of Battle will get plastic minis when more people play them. If they remain unpopular, then they will remain financially viable in metal.
However, many are not.Honestly, I'm ok with that. There's no reason why everything needs to be plastic, and it is kind of nice to have some of the more obscure forces have such nice metal minis.
I once had to have a mould made. It wasn't minis, but it was only about $600.$20-50k for a mold apparently.
