Volund Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 This was in Behold the Kharadron Overlords. 2 hours ago, Thomas Lyons said: I talked to a distributor today and apparently only the Thunderers (5 for $40) and Gunship ($50) are going on preorder this week. Look, an actual rumor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJetski Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Gunship is a lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be! I might just get two for my display 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucimus Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just read something on the latest Warhammer community post where they talk about preparations for the Warhammer fest tournaments. Now bear in mind this is a stab in the dark but I think we might be seeing some 6 x 4 battle mats on route. Quote Currently we are preparing and planning to…. Build 450 70-piece Citadel Woods… …which will take 300 hours to build… … and 100 hours to paint Pack all those with 1000 Warhammer 40,000 scenery pieces, 1000 Age of Sigmar scenery pieces and 500 The Hobbit™ Strategy Battle Game scenery pieces. Transport them 49 miles to the Ricoh Arena Arrange 350 tables and 700+ chairs Unfurl 350 Battle Mats Open up 150 Blood Bowl pitches and 300 dugouts Print and mount at least 50 certificates Polish 15 trophies 1 Now the the Age of Sigmar games are 1750 points, so too big for 4x4 mats https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/04/18/updates-to-grand-tournaments-at-warhammer-fest/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Taylor Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Nice spot @Brucimus!! Would be really cool if they did the battle mats but it's quite stiff competition at the moment with all the other mats on the market place. Be interested to see how much they compare against the other mats as well as the designs. Got me thinking about going to Warhammer Fest now!

Now the the Age of Sigmar games are 1750 points, so too big for 4x4 mats https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/04/18/updates-to-grand-tournaments-at-warhammer-fest/ Or are GW using another company's mats? There are already a lot of mats out there with most of the standard terrain covered. I'm not a fan of the 4x4 mats GW have done as the 'terrain' on them is too restrictive. I think GW would be better served sticking to their gaming boards and letting other companies make the battlemats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It seems highly unlikely that GW will use another company's mats. Unless they've teamed up with Frontline or something. It would be a great opportunity to reveal the new mats though. A PR scoop from GW. Good eye there, if it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Although there are a lot of companies already out there doing this (many good ones) I would really like to see a selection of some more "generic" battlemaps from GW. Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Agreed. The mat I want is a UK import and would cost over $100 to get. I'd rather have a proper option from my local shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't get replaced by the shadespire ones, they are push fit mono-pose models and you only get the ones you see. Plus shadespire isn't due until much later this year. I'm sure they're just getting a reboxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fungrim Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Deathrattle battletome, including Deathlords maybe? Can't see why they'd just randomly re-box the standard skeles for no reason. Usually happens as part of a re-release. Also, genuinely not sure of this - does 'no longer available' on GW website hold different connotations to 'temporarily unavailable' ?? Would a re-box just warrant the latter, whereas the former sounds a bit more... terminal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJetski Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 "Temporarily unavailable" means they have run out of their current stock in that area and are waiting for a restock. "No longer available" means they have run out and aren't making any more. Almost always means they are reboxing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokapoke Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Note that the indication on the website is identical to that of the Carnosaur/Troglodon, which is also still available via a Start Collecting box. The Carnosaur/Troglodon has been that way for several weeks now, so I doubt that one is being reboxed (just personal expectations -- I have no information on that).

It would be nice if they got an extra 10 guys in the box, but I'm not hopeful over that. Question will be if the price goes up due to the reboxing.

If they follow previous reboxings the price will go up but the price per model will remain the same or go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
