I wonder what their FW weapon sprue will look like...
Is it just me or are 6 different sets of legs shown in the full gang shot? The cynical side of me would say no, and they just have optional kneepads, but can't make out where the ball flail guys legs get repeated.
I sincerely hope it's the latter, and that we'll get two different sprues, rather than 2 duplicate sprues, going forward. The only minor beef with the gang sprues I really have is that get abit samey. The Cawdor guys do seem to have a lot more variety amongst them than the other 4 which is great too see.

If it wasn’t for the male/female arms that’s pretty much what you get in the current weapon packs!!
The redemptionists will get a full and thorough selection of other non-flame weapons, just to be awkward.
Listen to your cynical side!
Ball flail guy has the same body (including legs) than blunderbuss/grab-hook guy, just with an additional shin guard.
When we already have four gangs with duplicate sprues, there is really no reason to hope the remaining two will be any different.
The ball flail guy has a seperate armor piece glued to his leg, so there looks to be loose armor pieces on the sprue including the one on the leaderchamp shoulder.
Perhaps there will be a modular shoe! For the barefoot dude. That would be hilarious, if he got the option, barefoot, shoe, prosthetic.
I'm not sure about the latter. I'm afraid the leaderchamp body could be another bad case of escherleadercoatness. I think the shoulder armor is part of the arms and those arms can only be used with this body.
Kinda my point, really.If it wasn’t for the male/female arms that’s pretty much what you get in the current weapon packs!!
Honestly, I hope so. The whole point of a weapons pack should be to provide, more than anything (in my opinion), access to non-standard weapons you don't get in a normal sprue, not more of the same. If the Redemptionists get a load of flame weapons on the sprue, but have all other accessible weapons in a weapons pack, then I'd be inclined to buy a box and a weapons pack instead of just a box.
On a closer inspection I have to say you are all probably right about this one. I wonder how many extra leg armour bits we'll get in the sprue.
I wouldn't write out getting extra sprue per house just yet. The Specialist Games stuff seems to be much a "vote with your wallet" kinda thing. Perhaps we could just see a resin upgrade pack with alternate poses for the generic gang weapons instead. Ie; Having things like Spudjackers, Pistols etc; that work on different bodies to the standard ones.

Your best bet on new body for gang is Juve, Female counterpart and Overlord models.
I voted with my wallet by not buying any resin release.

Well based on the July WD previews it's looking like BB/Shadespire in July, as folks have suspected it's looking like Cawdor may come in august...bummer for me cause i've already been twiddling my thumbs for months. Well at least we will probably get a closer look at stuff july 15th.
This release schedule was the worst idea ever. Whom ever at GW thought this was a good idea....
Ok I'll take it to the sump.

Not gonna lie, this sprue is the one i’m most excited about after seeing it. I’m an Orlock at heart, and i wasn’t a huge fan of the previous kit (didn’t dislike it mind, just liked the Orlock one better). But this one has blown me away, i’m Gonna have so much fun with it. And my Catholic School’s colours are Royal Blue and Gold, so i’m Copying it for these guys.
What can we expect when it comes to future releases?
-Cawdor box, dice, cards, weapons, GW4
-Delaque box, dice, cards, weapons, GW5
-a handful of pets
-ambot
-ogre?
Sooner or later, the release valve will be shut and there's not gonna be much more happening. This is already the case for Blood Bowl (only a couple of random releases each year).

As for Blood bowl, the "relese valve" is not shut, they literally hire more people to do a wave 2 for the game, The release schedule is 4 teams a year( on par with Necromunda), with dice, card, team pitch, FW Big guy, star player, team booster, cheerleaders (in the future) and even have a magazine now. Blood bowl was suppose to end after Goblin, but the profit made GW come back and do more team ASAP, they have to call in sculptor from other team to help.

I think the back to back to back white dwarf releases makes the drought of information from the past month or two feel worse than it is

Do you have a source for this? or is it your conjecture? Not a problem either way but that is very interesting that it was planned to finish after deathzone 2. I had assumed the magazine release was so that they didn't have to do full deathzones for each new teams.
I reckon there will be a number of sets by forgeworld, as things like hangers on will be right in the production area they excel at, small batches of fancy/detailed models
