Future Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 So any chance Dino’s will be fighting Khorne? When do we think Khorne is going to show up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blightzkrieg Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Probably not until April or maybe late March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I'd guess late March. If we assume the beginning and middle is going to be full of big 40K releases and the new Chaos stuff then it makes sense to end Chaos March (ooh see a pun a computer game pun!!) with an AoS Battletome.

novakai Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I am not sure if there going to be a battlebox either since Khorne had one with wraith and rapture and Seraphon had a battleforce box not that long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those unfamiliar, that has been the case since day one. Short version: they made and sold models. One of the OG had the idea that they could sell multiple models to customers if they gave them a reason. So, they tossed together a quick, free little wargame and put it in peoples' orders. Bam! Rules have always been secondary and pretty much just a way to shift more models. To get back to rumor-ish stuff - Grr! Want Khorne now! I bought 2 W&R and some other stuff with the idea of painting a Speedy Get It Done army for the first time in a long time, and I'm just waiting on that book now to start. Had nobody seen or heard any good clue for release time? Edited March 2, 2019 by Sleboda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Marius Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 It looks like shadowspear up for pre order next sat, then maybe khorne AoS the week after. Im not convinced theyll drop Black Legion and a bunch of new kits at the same time as a heavily discounted box set, and even dropping Abaddon separately would be precedented by Calgar and co being released outside of a codex release. So im expecting khorne BT in my grubby mitts by 23rd march, or 30th at the latest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Alpaca Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Might be nothing, but every Dispossessed model is out of stock. US store at least. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 GW does make use of the "email me when available" tab so might just be there isn't a huge call for them in the USA. Not unsurprising as they are without a Battletome for a long while. So might just be they are not high priority at present and the USA needs a new shipment to arrive. Being overseas I'd imagine that overseas sites see a greater backlog fall "out of stock" before a new shipment comes. That said that's only if GW isn't keeping up with demand so it might not be something we see all too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Alpaca Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Ah well if they’re in stock somewhere then it’s likely nothing then. Strange though that’s it’s their whole range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svnvaldez Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Many Gloomspite are "Temporarily out of stock Online". I'm sure they are not gone forever since they are all models pictured in the new battletome but it is frustrating for those wanting to add them to the collection now that a new tome is out.

Remember GW are casting all this in a fairly small area comparatively, to the point where they are using too much of Nottinghams power grid.

Gwill_of_the_Woods Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Is there any indication of timelines for version 2 battletomes such as Sylvaneth, Fyreslayers etc? ...or the sylvaneth underworld warband release date? I thought it was interesting that the sylvaneth had a Revenant style wizard, surely it must get unique rules in AoS too. Unless it's everyone's new Branchwraith model I think it's interesting how they have reordered all of the armies on the GW site. Aelves are pretty much car parked in one cluster. I'm hoping for an unexpected Wanderers battletome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I recall that it wasn't so much that they were using too much, but that city works had resulted in a power loss to the region the factory is in; though that was well over a year ago so I've no idea if works are still ongoing. Even without being underpowered GW was still building a brand new factory which isn't yet online so that still means they'll have production issues. Shipping overseas is likely done in bulk as well so its more likely that a fast selling region like the USA might well fall out of stock in bulk before they get a bulk update. I can well see that if the US market keeps growing GW might one day open a factory in that region even if just to produce a limited range of fast selling products; however such a move is quite major for them so its likely something they probably want to hold off as long as possible (esp since it would be a vast cost since each mould is into the hundreds of thousands already so the USA would REALLY have to pick up a huge bulkload of sales to make heavy investment like that worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If GW opened factories in the USA I'd expect them to be owned and managed by GW - the China issues were 3rd party factories hired to produce a result which failed to meet required standards - GW isn't alone in this, many Kickstarter companies have had nightmares with factories in China.

Blightzkrieg Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Chinese law mostly prevents foreign companies from directly managing their operations within China, in order to promote local companies. It's a very different situation from most other countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Gw definitely has stock issues which they admit. They have plans to sort that out this year. Hopefully they can put those plans into effect sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsharitt Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 19 hours ago, Ragnar Alpaca said: Might be nothing, but every Dispossessed model is out of stock. US store at least. They're just out of stock, not "no longer available", so almost certainly nothing other than production issues. That's probably why we're seeing terrain pieces and endless spells pushed so hard with every battletome. Since those are contracted out to China for manufacturing, they don't impact miniature production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevvermore Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 They have been having production issues for a long time, which is why they started building new production facilities at Nottingham HQ last year. I don't know if they're up and running yet but we'll definitely be feeling that big upswing in production capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
