That's not technically true. When we started the ed with Domion I remember some FLGS saying they ordered X and received 2X instead. So GW gave them more than they asked for. Another topic is how you manage that, and I have no clue if you can send them back or not.
During this discussion Dogs of War has been mentioned. I guess this doesn't count as a faction per se, right? If so, do you guys expect to have some sort of mercenaries range , that is outside of any faction, available for AoS?
Checking the data for my Rumour Engines site I've noticed there's quite a decent number of "old" (launched 2-3 years ago) AoS minis that are currently locked inside Vanguard Boxes or even not available at all, like the LRL Alarith Stonemage.
Did any of you notice if this is something that happened as a side effect of the site rework? Or is it something that is happening nowadays within the AoS range?
An example of Vanguard that includes minis that you cannot buy separately:
Vanguard: Daughters of Khaine (warhammer.com) -> Melusai Ironscale
I am not repeating anyone, I think it is a fact as I saw a lot of places listing it, still nowadays, with a 50% discount. It is the first time a ed launch box last for so long with such a heavy discount.
Are they? Dominion is understandable because it was overproduced, but I cannot find Leviathan copies over here. Their long-lasting boxes are the starter sets, not Dominion or Leviathan.
TOW I guess is the date announcement, if the rumour about it being launched on the 6th is right.
For 40k I have no clue, Dark Angels date? And for AoS has to be Dawnbringers 4.
