Chaos Demons very shortly, apparently.

To draw out overall spending so they dont blow their wad on the initial release.

Exactly, and combined with the fact that they have increased their codex/AB release schedule, another wave gives them something to release during "off" months.

[PhoenixFire]

When necrons hit last year they did some new stuff (barges, arks) and some re-dos (warriors, immortals) in the first wave.

Then a bunch of new stuff in the second wave a couple months later (flyers, the walker, jetbikes, spyders) think the only re-do in the 2nd wave was wraiths

Like all GW releases, that stuff was already planned about 18 months in advance. Redos can technically be anytime, but new stuff has to be released in the first wave for it to be legally protected.

Interesting, so a company like chapterhouse or something could have come out witha necron flyer after the initial release and before the 2nd wave and not been sued?

Like you said though all this has been long designed, molded and box arted before the release and all the 2nd wave daemon stuff is already sitting ona shelf ready to go

Actually I believe the case was specificlly GW vs Chapterhouse but I don't recall the specifics. GW can't copyright something that doesn't exist.

The chapterhouse law suit was something different, I havn't followed it in a bit it may have changed.

Chapterhouse basically got in trouble for saying there stuff can be used with GW miniatures. Unlike other 3rd party bitz makers who just called Eldar = Space Elves.

From now on you won't see GW withholding new models.. another indicator is the time between the official announcement& advance orders are much closer to the release dates. For Daemons, the time between the advanced order and the actual release is only 7 days.. closest its ever been.

I have formulated an opinion. The Khorne Stuff looks LAME. Those chariots look like some Middle School kid designed them and GW took the design and made molds. I have always hated the blood letters. I thought the pewter ones looked better with the wild manes. They were all muscle and scary as hell where as these....dont strike fear they look goofey. I wish they made plastics of those pewter blood letters but switched them to swords instead of the crap they put out.

The Tzeench stuff looks great to me I have no complaints. The nurgle stuff is borderline goofey but thats a trait of Nurgle so it fits. Slaanesh looks fine I like that there are no longer exposed 6 breasted deamonettes. I had no idea how GW sold those when young bloods play.

These are just my opinions I could be wrong.

My opponents would disagree with you about the scary part.. especially when 60 of them deepstrike next to the main marine battle line. They can afford to take casualties lol

[GossWeapon]

They are up GW's site!  They all look cool, other than the khorne cannon.  Really excited!

Oh dont get me wrong im sure play wise they can be terrifying! I just mean the Models look a little Derpy to me thats all. The giant mass of deamon muscle with an axe and the emblem of Khorne on their fore head looked more intimidating to me. These things remind me of the Xeonomorph from Alien.

[Chase]

I've only quickly glanced through this thread.  Are they for sure re-doing the greater demons?

[GossWeapon]

Rumor has it, yes chase.  But it is still a big rumor.  All I can say for now is this:

KHORNE DAEMONS ON HARLIES!

"But that guy sucks..."  "Yeah, but hes a demon on a motorcycle, your logic is invalid"

Yea I knew what you meant I was just joking. I agree with the xenomorph look through, every time I glued a head I was always reminded of the Alien movie lol
