Warhammer Snakemen - coming back?

[Primeval]

So I was browsing Ebay and thinking of re-acquiring the old Citadel C-series Chaos Snakemen, which were not hard to find and not overly pricey last time I looked (granted, I have been out of the hobby for awhile although I have lurked a bit...). Now, they are going for $90 for a sealed blister pack of 3, and the singles are around $25 or more. Is there some rumor that they are going to be introduced into Warhammer that would be driving this drastic price increase? Mostly just curious; I have more than enough miniatures to paint but this just seemed odd to me.

Also, glad to be back at it and hopefully producing exemplars of barbaric splendor once more!

The best Ophidians on the market at the moment are arguably from Mierce. They're called the Kthones, and I think they surpass even the old Rackham Ophidians - and I'm *very* fond of the Rackham sculpts.

Highly unlikely, only a few weeks ago it was mooted that GW were about to drop a number of armies from Warhammer. Still on the cards as far as I'm aware.

For sure the old gw snakemen have a place in my heart some of the very first minis I ever bought and er well sort of painted if bright green with two white blobs for eyes can be called painting
