Has anybody noticed or even discuss the trend that when GW releases a rulebook like LOME or WOTR they have rules for non-existing future releases of models, but they never end up making them and have entirely different models instead not found in the past books?
Is it not better to have the rules there though? Then you can use whatever models you wish to represent them. The WotR book had rules for loads of unreleased (at the time) models in it; a lot of them were then made; Grimbold, cave drake, dwarf champion etc. I'm sure they intended to make them all at some point- but plans and policies change.
Personally I'd much rather have a definitive set of rules for all possible characters/units than have to collect together a dozen white dwarf issues and internet print outs for new units.

That is BS and you know it.
The "body" GW have added would clearly be visible behind the head of the Weta model - but it isn't because it doesn't exist!
We both know that GW didn't think this model would sell well enough if it was restricted to just water based scenarios, so they've come up with the idea to give it legs so that it can also be used as a land based monster for all the power gamers out there.
Not at all BS. The Weta model has a face and tentacles coming out of the water, facing upwards- you can't see the rest of the body so it's up to your imagination.
I agree that a water-bound monster wouldn't sell well, but even without legs the creature could still be a land=model. whether it slithers or kinda blobs it's way across the landscape, there's no need for legs.
And as I said before- GW can't release any models without the Tolkien estate's or New Line's approval. They have to be happy with how a model looks. So it's not like it's GW on it's own.
