It's still a possibility, but it's unfortunately not on the schedule yet. The 
real problem is that there just aren't enough fantastic sculptors out there, 
and AEG has committed all of its resources in that area to building Clan War. 
This makes sense, since if we can't figure out how to get everything in place 
to have Clan War to make a profit first, there's little chance of either 7th 
Sea or Brave New World being able to do better. 

That's not to say that Clan War isn't doing well. I understand the release of 
the Daimyo Edition of the rulebook is doing wonderfully, but all of our 
miniatures attention is currently focused on that. 

Take care,
