Hi
As I saw the new rosters, I noticed that a few new positions were added. Assassins, Runners among others. Does anyone know if GW will manufacture new miniatures, or do one need to start converting?
Cheers |

I'm sure they will make new miniatures because that is how they make their money. |

there are 2 Secret Weapon BB DE minis you can use for your assassins, and just use your throwers for your runners |

This is true for WHFB, W40K and LoTR, but sadly not for BB.
As far as I know, GW plans to do 2 releases each year in the sprecialist games range (which BB is part of). And right now Warmaster has it´s release, I don´t know about the second release for 2007, it might be a new BB box, there have been rumours about it.
But don´t count on GW to make all new minis for the new positionals available in LRB5. |

Don't worry guys. If GW doesn't make the minis some of the other companies will. Just as they have done for the snow troll. |

True, but that wasn´t my point.
I bought the Wicked Elves from Shadowforge myself as a DE tabletop team.
Too bad I won´t be allowed to play any of my non GW teams in an official GW tournament (Blood Bowl, Dungeon Bowl, Chaos Cup or Mithril Spike ...) |

Voila, GW BB assassins.
There is also a rather nice alternative runner model available at Impact! if you don't want to use the existing thrower as a runner. |

What about using a regular WHFB troll... painted, um, the color of snow? |

Im saying the Snow troll is great, not only because Ewan is a great guy and more Fantasy Football minis is a good thing and buying minis supports more releases in future, but its a great fun mini to paint, is just the right size for a big guy and fits in with the rest of the Norse team! |
