There will be more Solar Auxilla, but it was Edgar’s project so now Israel is in the process to take over (so no new releases in the next time besides the Venetaris with Axes)GW’s “dreaded” Plastic Models:
– looks like the team is ok with it, GW will produce the basic units and FW will focuse on Upgrade Kits/Special Characters/Legion specific units/Titans again
