Desperate problem

[daboarder]

Hi all,

I have a question to ask regarding the forgeworld hierophant.

I have always wanted one of these and last week I was finally able to set aside the money for one, unfortunately the item was out of stock, it did come back in stock briefly a week or so ago but I was un able to purchase it during that time.

I sent FW an email regarding this item and recieved the following reply.

"Hi,
Thank you for your email. The Bio Titan has been removed from the website as we are having to remake the master model used to make the moulds. Once this has been completed, we can make some sub masters from this and them make some new moulds. This is a lengthy process and it is likely to be a couple of months before it is available to order once again."

Is the hierophant going the way of the spore chimneys?

It is apparently the least popular titan but the most popular tyranid item from FW so I am unsure. I have sent an email to FW asking for confirmation that the hieropant WILL be re-cast, and the fact that it is in the recently released catalogue for this year would suggest it will be, but I wanted to ask your thoughts on this matter.

Ehh. By the flying mother of gargoyles I think its more useful other than that looks like you gotta wait

Nah - It'll be back. The casting process does indeed take its toll on the master moulds. They wear out over time; this is true for all moulds. On the other hand, if this is true that means the Hierophant has received enough orders to actually wear out the mould, which should be good news since that means it's still in demand.

I would take GW at their word that it will be recast. The margin they make on those things is too good not to even if they don't sell too many.
