Last chance to buy finecrap, metal is forever, just have to look around.

**Kid_Kyoto**

some plastic too, the $50 for 10 forsaken box is there.

**jonolikespie**

Forsaken are plastic aren't they?

I get that GW would want to remove finecrap, but is this them doing that or is this them removing things that don't sell?

**mikhaila**

Forsaken never really sold. I'm betting this is the end of the very first batch done years ago.

The models were not that great. Their stats were worse than Chaos Warriors, and the cost was higher both in points and in cost to purchase. And we all had Chaos Warriors already. I remember getting in 4 at my shop. Sold 1 in 3 years. Put 3 up on ebay at 1/2 to dump them. Told GW i wasn't restocking, my rep said "Oh god no, those are dogs, no one buys them".

Normally I'd agree, but for the hellcannon the metal was a bit of a challenge to work with... I think I actually bought mine from you back in the day

but for my current chaos / abyssal dwarfs project am going with the "resin" version.

The Skaven battalion I'm guessing will be redone/repackaged, but I'm sad to say I suspect this is the end of Beastmen. I may have to grab a battalion or two to hold on to.

I doubt it,looking through the 'Grand Alliance: Chaos' book,neither Galrauch,the Hellcannon,Forsaken nor Throgg and Tretch Craventail are in it (nor skavenslaves for that matter as shown by the slingshots). All of the beastmen and Skaven in those battalions however are still in the book.
Perhaps slightly unrelated but i'm sad to see Sigvald the Magnificent go,his model is still used in the 'Chaos Lord of Slaanesh' however so at the very least the model stays.

**SagesStone**

Last chance to buy the playdoh dragon of chaos magic.

**Sinful Hero**

Rountree continues to surprise! They've never announced when they were discontinuing something before have they? I'll be glad when they toss the $40 Biovores myself.

So far it appears to be fantasy only.

**Joyboozer**

The beastmen box looked tempting until I remembered to change from US to AU. Oh well.

**Jadenim**

Not interested in any of these specific kits, but the idea that we might get forewarning before kits get discontinued is refreshing.

Pity they couldn't have done that when the Immolator disappeared

I could have done with another Rhino for my Inquisitor.

**Quarterdime**

Man, this makes me feel pretty sad. Warhammer was so huge, so many armies, with so many models... All they had to do was lower prices... Oh well.

**Gallahad**

I am crossing my fingers that they don't discontinue the beastmen forever. Those are some fantastic plastics.

Instead of getting rid of stuff in plastic, they should just lower the price. I'd definitely buy a box of forsaken just for converting if the price wasn't so ludicrous.

**Uriels_Flame**

An all beast men chariot army was a missed opportunity. I like the gores/razor gores and different options.

I have two boxes...

**Skullhammer**

Beast men are still in the game as there in the new book. Its just the battalion thats going. It will more than likely become a start collecting box soon. Its sad that the hell cannons going but that just means no chaos dwarfs outside of forge world. (Do they still do them?).

Kits so bad even GW doesn't want to peddle them! Get yours now!

I love it that GW doesn't even discount those to clear them out, like a normal company would. "Only finest quality highly valuable minis here, just happen to be going OOP for um, some random reason." Maybe they should have made them 'limited edition'..

**methebest**

They might just be putting some of the stuff on round bases as my local gw has had a last chance to buy self for a while which had all the things that got reboxed with round bases

Pretty much.

**Mymearan**

Beastmen aren't going anywhere. Like some people said they're in the Chaos Alliance book, and on top of that they're in the Black Library novels. Don't worry. Some of the best GW designs imo.

On the other hand, I'm really glad they're getting rid of those hideous Forsaken...

**VeteranNoob**

Really want new Beastmen sculpts.

The Beastmen are in Grand Alliance:Chaos as Brayherds. They've gotten rid of many WHFB Battalion boxes previously for forces that have continued into AoS, including Orcs & Goblins who now have the Orruks Start Collecting box set without any of their warscrolls showing up in the books yet.

**Freytag93**

I'm definitely going to pick up two boxes of the beastmen battalion. Based on the new chaos releases, it seems like the price is just going to go up when the starter box comes out. I'd rather order 2 from my FLGS at 20% off and use them as cannon fodder mutants for my renegades army. You can always use more bodies!

**kestral**

The hell cannon was an amazing model. Sorry to see it go. Almost sorry enough to buy one, but not quite. But I guess artillery is not a thing the wonderful world of sigmar?

All the old sculpts have had price drops when they've been reboxed. So id wait if I were you.

**Whirlwind**

Well not quite, the price per model has gone down for a significant fraction of them, but the actual box prices for these has increased. So it really depends on how many you want to get. If the box sets now are what you would need it would be worth picking them up now; otherwise you may end up paying more overall for models you don't need.

**Binabik15**

It shouldn't be legal to discontinue a good ol' Brian Nelson Ork. From when GW did good Ork heads and not those...things in the newer kits that are all flat and rectangular and pointy. Urgh.
