    @SuperHappyTime, I agree, missing product is never acceptable. There may (or may not) be a legal requirement, depending on local laws but there is a requirement to keep you customers happy so they stay repeat customers. GW understands we are details people. They will know that many won't be happy even if the (legally dubious) small print does say 'contents may vary'. As is a lot of Age of Sigmar terrain, this kit is made from a contracted supplier too. The responsiveness and accuracy of this manufacturer may not be as good because of the shipping distances and that the employees aren't GW staff.

    On a more positive note:

    I bought the set yesterday from my local GW store where I am a regular. I told the salesman, who I know quite well, about the problem with this kit and asked him if we could open it and check it. I told him I already had the Azyrite Ruins and I would prefer to get the sprue shown from the box if this was possible. He did say that he had heard something about this issue.

    We opened it together and he agreed it wasn't right. He immediately opened a Blasted Hallowheart box from the shelf and fixed the problem. I am not sure if it was intentional but I did end up getting to keep one of the incorrect sprues too. I thanked him but he told me not to and said if ever something is not right like this we will fix it. I walked away feeling deeply impressed by the outstanding customer service of this fantastic store.

    P.S. The correct sprue does indeed fit into the box quite well.

    From the Dakka forums, there an assumption that the Skirmish thing on WD maybe related to the guy who wrote the Hinderland skirmish rule that GW recently hired.

    That's our very own @bottle. I would not be surprised if Bottle was involved. I'm sure Bottle can't wait for January either!

    I am happy to pay more for GW stuff because the quality and customer service is so good. Consumer law in Australia would indeed require that they accept returns with a full refund. Have they not done this? It is unfortunate but probably reasonable on their part if they don't offer the missing sprue as long as they accept a full refund if requested. If they haven't corrected the website immediately then that is appalling.  An apology via Warhammer Community would certainly be appropriate.

    Thanks for the heads up @carnith and fair comment @firebat, I may go and buy some more Chaos Warriors as I wouldn't mind bulking out my existing models with another 10 to match the first lot. Still, if the updated models are half as good as the Varanguard  maybe I should wait.

    Wow, notice the guy on the top right disc, he has the puffy sleeves AND the big Knight Questor lion pauldrons. Now that is how I'd love to see Freeguild in Age of Sigmar. Fits the new aesthetic and would allow existing Freeguild veterans (like me) to use their older models if they wish.

    As soon as it clicked that the Stormcast are the Romans I have loved them. I understand why some here are keen for the attention to go to the other races as they are very well supported range wise. Also, the theatre of them is highlighted much more against a back drop of the more mortal races. A big Stormcast vs Moonclan battle, yes please

    New miniatures are great - these Shadespire war bands are fantastic. Only model here I don't like is the throne. Is it just me or does it look like it was knocked up in an afternoon on a CAD program? Is it consistent with other bits of Shadespire architecture?

    I was looking at the pre order page of GW that is online just few minutes ago, and at my great surprise, I've seen the GROT SCRAPLAUNCHER!

    Thanks for sharing this - the pre-order Ogors are a a repack on to rounds! Great news for me as I collect Ogors. We may not be getting a battle tome but it is nice to see the Gutbusters getting a little love.

    Cmon guys, think labyrinth and dark crystal and many other Henson creations of the vein, this embodies that whimsy and AoSifies it. I think it’s great! A nice break from the grim nighthaunt!

    Could not have put it better myself! This thing just oozes character and is beautifully designed. I think it is outstanding. Brilliant work and I am so excited to see the new Moonclan. :D

    P.S. I think the spores on the staff are one of the rumour pictures posted on Warhammer Community.

    Beastmen desperately need new models mind. The majority of the current batch were poor even when they were released Years and years ago.

    Hmmm, some of the older non-plastic stuff like the chariot for sure but the Ungors, Gors, Bestigors, Brayshaman, Cygor, Ghorgon and even the Jaberslyth are really quite nice models (in my humble opinion). I agree though that a couple of new models would be great though.

    Skaven were written into the world building, TK wasn’t - by mistake. 

    As for the reason of AoS too- that’s widely documented. I believe you can even find reports on it. Alan Merritt is no longer with GW as he was fired due to the disaster that was original AoS launch. 

    But as I said believe what you will.

    Thanks for sharing this LLV. Real shame they ended like this but who knows, one day they may return? I can only hope. Hats off to those creatives who have made something special out of Age of Sigmar despite the mismanagement.

    Loosely connected I think - Thousand Sons and Disciples of Tzeentch were around the same time if my memory serves me correctly. Deathguard and Maggotkin were months (six?) apart. Maybe we might get Emperor's Children and Hosts later in the year? Quite possible but again we don't know anything for sure. Stormcast Eternals and Night Haunt battle tomes, along with some new models, are what we do know is on the way.

    GW keep us in suspense @blueshirtman. But you are at one of the best web sites out there for rumours of what's coming up. As for September, I think the only rumours I've read here are about Hosts of Slaanesh. Given we had Nurgle over Christmas maybe it will be a bit later. We don't really know though.

    I don't mind if they make current OOP compendium models illegal in tournaments and can understand the reasons behind that. But as mentioned in other posts i need points to have a semblance of balance in the casual games that i am going to use those miniatures.

    If how awesome our community has been to date is anything to go by, there will be fan made points to allow you to balance Legends armies. Hell, that was the case for all factions not so long ago!
