I've included a blurb that I came across on the site called "Plastic Legions" and was wondering if anyone else has heard about the rumor of new releases pertaining to new cavalry models to be release in 2010!? Would be cool if DP and Dark Riders became plastic... Now to the blurb below!

2010- the year of Warhammer Fantasy. (information from the site "Plastic Legions")

This thread over at Warseer adding fuel to what I've been hearing and reading from some folks at GW as well as various places on the web. 2010 is gearing to be a year for WFB, like 2009 was for 40K, We got Skaven in this November followed by Beast of Chaos and Tomb Kings the first half of next year with third unnamed release in the 4th quarter.

The bigger news however is aa huge organized summer campaign in the works, based on the Empire versus Von Carstein (my friend Bill and I are going to love that) and an actual WFB rules amendment (lets call it 7.1 Ed) with changes in some rules, specifically cavalry (whether this changed rules or added is unknown) and a bunch of second, third and even 4th wave release of cavalry models for various armies..Rumor has it that my wish of new fancy Empire Knights in line with GW's great new plastics is finally coming, although I currently have 17 Knights completely done. I'll definitely be adding a whole lot more...hell with I have extra...I could run an all mounted Empire Army..(thou I don't how well that would do, but it would sure look cool)

Further analysis from ultimate insider and rumorlord "Harry" say yes he's hearing these things too...but certain things are not necessarily tied together (meaning the rules, the campaign and new models aren't all tied together but are planned releases, order and relevance still unknown). However it shakes out, next year is going to be great for us WFB players. Also pure speculation but with the success of Space Hulk and year of WFB releases in the works can a new updated Warhammer Quest also be in the works?..think about it.

Wow, what a great find elvendarkness !

I would welcome cheaper plastic cavalry. The quality of the plastics is so good now that I would be happy to field a whole plastic army. I do miss the weight of the metal models (although I have over 100 metal High Elves) but they are so expensive I'd be happy if GW went all plastic which looks like the direction they are indeed going in.

I actually really enjoy the modelling aspect of plastics too. With metals you only get the pleasure of painting them (which I am guilty of neglecting). I like sticking the things together and customising them a little bit.

The other rumour above sounds interesting... a 7.1 rules amendment ?! I wonder if they mean an updated errata for the rulebook or a genuine "beta" for the new book. I'll leave a post on plastic leagions to see what John has to say.

Can you post a link to the original post please ?

I haven't heard this specific rumour myself but I have heard of a general shift to everything plastic. It makes sense from a $$$ point of view. New empire knights and general plastic cav is exciting. Can't wait for the campaign.

I would love a move to pure plastic seeing that my mechanical imcompetence means I currently have several models I am unable to use since I have never mastered pinning; Galrauch, Juggernaut lord, tzeentch sorcerer on disk, daemon prince of tzeentch, wood elf noble...whereas I do not have a single plastic model that has given me problems. War more plastic!

All plastic cavalry for HE would be great especially as the price difference between Chaos Knights and Dragon Princes is so extreme. Personally I would be happy if they went all plastic on everything.

Another summer campaign would be awesome, what I am really looking forward to though is an update on the fluff that incorporates all of the stuff about Archeon and the Chaos incursions.

Plastic models are great - especially if they come with new plastic ellyrian reavers

Are they gonna re-do also some metal infantry models into plastic (like phoenix guard)?

Anything that comes with multiple arms, legs, bodies etc so we can customise things a bit more - and as long as they get rid of the damn metal heads on plastic horse bodies

It makes sense considering they make much more profit from plastic sets than they do from metal sets. I was told a while back that theres discussions about eventually making everything plastic based. Beginning of summer roughly.

Just to confirm the rumour. I am hearing stuff from another site I frequent about a worldwide fantasy campaign next year and a release of loads of new plastic cavalry (I originally was interested because they rumoured that Seekers would be coming out in there).

Well I would like to see plastic Dragon Princes, just put ten of them together late last night and what a pain in the butt, metal heads and plastic bodies who in the world came up with that idea seriously!

Bummer... :( Though I asked at a local GW store and he said the rumors were true... I guess time will only tell. Question Smack, did he know that 2010 is planned at the year of Warhammer Fantasy? Awh, now that would be the true test to see how up to date he is with what is going on ;)
