To answer the original question the trend has been to remove units that never had a model. In this case there was a model for many years and GW dose not want to invalidate existing models (we hope). Before someone else says it, yes by that logic they should have kept the griffon mortar but that's what makes it a trend and not a rule. This is the edition of random tables i guess the staff rolled ones for keeping the griffin in the book.

Unless its throne of skulls Ive never heard of a tourney having problems with appropriate 3rd party minis

I think he means GW tournaments, like throne of skulls. Whilst we may never again see a global tournament or campaign from GW ever again, their individual stores still maintain a small amount of tournaments going to keep people interested.

3rd party models make GW store staff panic..... especially in the case like the chocobo above.... that are way better than GW offerings.

I wouldn't say panic, most of them are gamers and appreciate good models. Its just their job to sell GW models.

Yeah, as a former G-Dubber I have often loved 3rd party minis that I'd never mention instore.
It's like going into an apple store and asking them to endorse a samsung product. Ain't gonna happen.
And it's one of the few universal rules handed down from on-high too, so any staffer would be damn stupid to defy it.
