michu Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Recently i found out that both Spire of Dawn and Gorechosen are sold out online. I understand Spire of Dawn, because it's old repackaged IoB and moulds wear out, but Gorechosen is a fairly new game and repackaging would be weird. Are there any news?

BaldoBeardo Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I would imagine Gorechosen is a little pointless with Shadespire on the way...Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Maybe you're right. It would explain also Spire of Dawn as there is Blightwar incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherJosh Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Gorechosen isn't a "Competitive" game in the same sense that Shadespire is. (Shadespire is closer in line with x-wing.) Gorechosen is a fun blast of a game. Unless it says "no longer available" or "last chance" it may just be out of print temporarily. Note: Random region sampling seems to indicate that both may be "emptying stocks" .... as they're not available online in a number of countries.

michu Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Indeed it does say "No longer available". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Out of stock. If it's gone for good they'll say. People need to hitting the panic button whenever something is out of stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone2040 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Possibly it's just out of stock. It seems a lot of the time the no longer available gets treated the same. I'd be rather surprised if Spire of Dawn went away. They just bought it back, including the models into the Swifthawk Agents range. So it wouldn't make sense to remove it again (Unless they're thinking of re-sprueing the kits). Gorechosen on the other hand, I'm not necessarily surprised about. At the end of the day, it's a board game with existing mini's in it. Dunno if GW do their board game tiles and tokens and stuff in house or not, but I could see it when stock runs out, stock runs out kinda deal (Until they decide to do another print run 5 years down the track).

Guest Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Tried ordering Gorechosen from Firestorm Games a few weeks ago, only to be told that it was 'out of stock with manufacturer' or something to that effect. Seems like maybe they've been running down stock and have kept the last dregs back for the GW online store. Most GW board games have a limited life span. Shame, as I've heard good things about the game and it's a great value way to get those Bloodbound hero models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Baumann Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Gorechosen is still available on Amazon... a bunch of sellers still have new copies for as low as $54 US. I live in Los Angeles and I still see it on shelves at independent stores as well. Even though Shadespire is a different game, there are enough similarities that GW probably wants all the shelf space and potential buyers to go that route.

AGPO Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The Start Collecting: Daemons of Tzeentch box is listed as no longer available too. Something tells me they haven't discontinued that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannymalavera Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I saw that Gorechosen was no longer available on the UK site so picked up the last copy on a third party retailer, mainly because it's great value for the heroes inside. However, I imagine they do a fixed run of these small boxed games then let stock run out. If they weren't selling well when they run out of stock then might not be worth the investment to do another run. I'm sure other games will come out to fill the void though (fingers crossed).

Carnelian Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Didn't spire of dawn come out last year in December? In which case it's been around for a while so not surprised if they're dropping it, particularly now they are releasing a new box (Blightwar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Klatz Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It came out in December but got restocked as a main starter box a few months ago instead of a limited offer, I believe. I think iit's just GW underestimating demands again and AoS popularity outpacing their plans of restocking in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherJosh Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 So ... additional side note: Spire of dawn has prior edition points and battalions in it and they may be updating the "Game rules pack-in" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 @TheOtherJosh You could be right. Now search for Spire of Dawn shows "Generic Error Page". Edit: Ok, it looks like that it's still available on US page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 my guess with spire of dawn is that they sold all the units they had of the printed box / booklet - they probably didn't print that many. I imagine they still have 1000s of sprues from the old starter set and the original tooling. I hope they do bring it back at some point because I meant to buy it but never got round to it!
