This comment from Jervis about new Army lists:
The way I think things will work is like this:
1. Variant lists will need to work with the existing model range for the race they are a variant of.
2. Chaos and Tyranids will need to work with the ‘old’ model range. That is, we will need to come up with lists that I can make work by simply putting the old ranges back into production.
3. With Titan Legion, OGBM, Tau and Necrons we carry on as we are currently, and you guys will just have to leave it to me to try and make sure that the models are made once we have a viable list in place.
Finally, in cases 1 & 2 we can still come up with new models, but if we do we’ll need to be able to tell players how they can make them themselves by converting models from the existing Citadel range, or using Citadel models as ‘stand-ins’. We can apply the same principle to the Titan Legion and OGBM lists to, if we want to.
On a positive note, this approach may allow us to get list up and running *sooner* than was the case before, so it’s not all downside.

…implies that there will be fewer new models, if any at all…
This is a pity.
