There's a fair few online games I play that have their updates on PST time too. I'm guessing their servers are in california but IDK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing their servers are in california but IDK Yes, I have seen online games that do that, but eComm is a different thing. I do back-end server work for an eComm company and all of our sales & site updates roll out a midnight east-coast for the US. Online games updates are usually a maintenance window that requires DevOps on-hand to manage the update and infrastructure process. So those companies handle that during normal work-hours rather than requiring someone to work late for it. And many of those companies perform those tasks based off of the time-zone where their office is (often west coast). For an eComm website of any decent size you should be able to schedule your updates, product availability, sales, etc to go live at a specific time and not have to be on-hand for it.

Maybe they're worried we'll crash the platform by ordering too many squigs. Or its just one of those arbitrary GW things. Its 10am local everywhere in the world so they had to pick a TZ for NA. It would make more sense to pick EST but I'm not in charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, that sucks for their dev/eComm team - glad I don't work for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A normal rockgut, probably from the realm of fire, no idea why they sell those snufflers in 6s when you can only take 5-15 in matched play...

Skabnoze Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 @Ekrund Oath Splitters It seems that the art cards are free and added onto the order if you buy the limited edition book. That is what just happened for me. @mDaro The squig dice do not say that they are limited. Previous dice have not been. I just ordered the Limited Battletome and I will go preorder the rest of the stuff from my local game store that offers discounts. I am going to buy enough of this stuff that the 10-15% discount is going to add up quite a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retailer i go with offers about a 22% discount, squig herds at 21.50, hoppers 23.50 and shrine at 27.50. Saving £20 just on them 3 items which is nearly another box of squig herd! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had a look at starting my own shop and looking over the GW paperwork you literally buy the stock in at around 40/50% but you must order a set amount each month and alot of paints. Most UK retailers do a 10-15% discount, the best one i ever found was 25% but the dispatch time took forever! I literally waited two weeks for my Dark Eldar army to arrive from down south to up north. So instead i use my mates shop who does 22%.

Stores that run higher discounts than that risk being cut-off by GW so most of them don't do it. Almost every online store in the US (miniature market, discount games, the Warstore, etc) will run the max allowable discount and so they are good sources to go with. In my area most local stores have started to run similar discounts (or at least 10%) and so I support them when I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at their current preorder page they are running a 15% discount - which I think is the max that GW now allows from online retailers. Local retailers might be able to get away with higher discounts - but that is probably rare given that they sell less volume and rely on their margins more.

Walrustaco Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Does anybody know if I would be able to ally a Dankhold Troggoth to my Gutbusters? Or will Troggoths just cease to exist as a faction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if your faction could use Moonclan, Spiderfang or Troggoth as allies they still can do. Oh and for anyone intrested, the Dankhold trogg looks to be on a 65mm round the same as an Orruk Megaboss, hence why it doesn't have the monster keyword.
