Info from Cry Havoc

Witchhunters

New models have been made for the Sisters so that gaps that previously existed in the range have now been filled.
Juan Diaz sculpted the female Inquisitor, while Jes Goodwin did the male ones.
The Exorcist is "Half organ, half missile launcher, all madness", and will be a plastic metal hybrid. Apparently the marketing department will be losing money on this one.
The Throne of Judgement is almost exactly like the artwork, and is a really, really nice sculpt.

Eldar

Due to tooling problems, the Wave Serpent has been delayed, and will now be released in the next 12 months.

4th Ed 40k

The starter set is titled "Battle for Macragge", and will feature Space Marines and Tyranids. There will be no big book in this box, or even any tables, with values needed for various results given in the book instead.

Q&A

Which armies are going to be redone in 4th Ed? Eventually all of them will be, but all current codexes will remain usable in 4th Ed. The early order for revision is Space Marines, Tyranids, Orkes then Eldar.

Will there be anything for Squats? No. (third question, btw).

Can you show us the plastic Terminators, as you showed the other seminar (by accident)? He did. They appear to be bigger (by about 5mm or so) and have more posability & detai. The storm bolter looks both huge and cool. Similarin style to both the new Grey Knight Terminators and the current incarnation in terms of design. Expect them after Codex: Space Marines.

Will you be remaking any more Guard units after the Cadians, or doing any new tanks? Due to new 3d design technology GW have got, they are planning to do a load of new tanks, as the tech is good at large flat surfaces. However, there is no definate date on them yet.

Will it be possible to obtain the scenery from the 40k box seperately? It wasn't orignally planned, but interest has been such that it might actually happen.

Will there be a model for Lieutenant Kage of the Last Chancers? A long term (ie, over 2 years off) prospect. Possibly around the time that plastic Valhallans get done (which is also over 2 years away).

Is there going to be anything new for Necrons in the forseeable future? No.

A mention was made of Cusaders and other Inquisitor henchmen being used in a future plan. Any details of said plan? There may be a spin-of from the henchmen, but nothing more was said.

When is the Dark Eldar codex due for a revamp? Jes Goodwin has many ideas for them in his "diseased mind". However, they curretly fall in the far future bracket as far as time goes.

Which models are going to be redone for Tyranids? Genestealers in plastic are obvious (the concept sketch was shown). Plastic Carnifex wasn;t confirmed or denied, merely hnted at.

When is the Ork codex likely to be redone? Andy Chambers will be working on it. Timeframe is uncertain, but after Tyranids. The modular vehicle system was hinted at again.

What is likely to happen to the Crew Escape Mechanism, after it was removed from the IG Codex? Pass

What changes are there going to be in 4th Ed 40k? There will be some changes to shooting, but no specifics were given. TAR and TVR will feature, but not necesarily as they are now.

Will we in the UK get Chapter Approved 2004? Not going to be available in the UK.

Are you aware that there is no Necron Lord available with standard equipment unless you get the army deal? No. Possible release in the future to fill the gap in the range.

Any news on the rumoured Imperial Guard Super-heavy tank? Possible with the new technology, but wouldn't want to do something to harm Forge World's sales, so it's currently a maybe.

The new exorcist, which is a metal/plastic hybrid (metal components cast in resin here).
Another view of the Exorcist (sorry about the blurryness). It looks like the servitor loader is missing from it.
And a third shot of the Exorcist, because we can.
Forge World Grey Knight Dreadnought, using the Psycannon and dread CCW arms.
Forge World Pre-Heresy style dread painted like the Legio Custodes.
A converted Catachan River boat, similar to Vietnam stuff.
