Supposedly the August issue of White Dwarf is on shelves but I've been to 3 stores and no one has it. Two stores say that their distributor didn't send them any. If anyone has it would you be kind enough to post the new Sisters of Battle 'codex' info that'd be awesome

This isn't really news or rumours.

Any Sisters info is over in the Sisters of Battle rumour thread.

Wd is certainly out; even the subscriptions have arrived and they are being sent out late these days. Sadly.

Actually it is News.

GW US has WD #280 as "No Longer Available". I'm not going to get an answer until Monday(I want those dang Terrorgeist rules)--but I'm trying to figure out why. My LGSes do not have it either.

I picked up a copy at my FLGS, which is not a GW store.

I know at my FLGS, this is the first WD to sell out in years. And it sold out by Tuesday.

My local gaming store put them on the shelf during a 40k tourney, and promptly sold out and had people trying to order more but according to his distributor there is no more and no more are being printed

GW marketing strategy, actually working? I havent been to my stores yet so I dont know

Games Workshop will have noted how quickly this edition has sold out. An army they previously believed lacked grass-roots support and must have considered 'squatting' from time to time, despite its popularity in written fiction, finally gets its first update in years and - for the first time in years - the magazine flies off shelves!

Yes sir, Vampire Counts are a shoe-in for a full relaunch in a couple of years.

Here's a quarter, buy yourself a sense of humor. You might have noticed the smiley at the end, to denote a joke?

Its kinda crappy that its sold out TBH. Shouldnt be.

Get ready to see new rules in WD again...the return of "Chapter Approved"?

Only as long as you have a subscription, if not you're out of luck.

How often does White Dwarf actually sell out? Seriously, I'm curious about that.

I'll give you a fifty so you can come up with better insults than "fanboy".

Apologies - it seems I accidentally stumbled into a civil war. My light-hearted and ironic jape regarding the Sisters of Battle being overlooked in favour of Vampire Counts wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

Sold out is quite relative. Quite a few stores will have a stack on their shelves. I doubled my order since I figured more people would want it because of the sisters codex.

Send me a PM if you need a copy Kan.

This is GWs strategy to control information on new releases. Only show new models in White Dwarf and only print five copies of the magazine.

Wow, you mean if they put *something* in the magazine it sells? Golly GW who'd have thunk it?

Kanluwen wrote:

Dont know. All depends on how many they actually printed.

Who says I was trying to insult you? Its a VERY accurate description.

1.) Today is the first official release day for WD in GW stores and selected FLGS.
2.) Newspaper stores will get it next week, as will subscribers.
3.) Indeed the US GW website lists the current WD as no longer available. So either go to a newspaper store next week or order the British issue (British English is not that different fro US English )

Fair play. I dislike someone's personal tastes for games to be used as an insult, so I get a bit uptight about the "fanboy" calling.

Maybe it is a matter of "marketing"... but it isn't "strategy" to listen to your customers after years of ignoring them.

So is it possible to have the few lucky members of dakka dakka that did get a copy, post the sisters info?

Same old dilemma:

Good: WD actually became useful again after a long dead zone. Lots of cool stuff in side that people can use.

Bad: It sold out. People who didn't get a copy are out of luck; instant "have" vs "have not" problem for the game(s).

l0k1 wrote:So is it possible to have the few lucky members of dakka dakka that did get a copy, post the sisters info?

The sisters rumors thread has accurate info for the most part, sept Seraphim are INT 3, not 5

Do you know off hand which page the rules and point costs are on?

l0k1 wrote:Do you know off hand which page the rules and point costs are on?

1. The points costs aren't until next month's issue. It's a 2 part article.

2. They wouldn't be posted, as that's against Dakka rules.

Apologies, I meant special rules and stats lines.

Anyone else notice the Warhammer FAQ they slipped into this months WD on pg 15?

It amends the Power Scroll arcane item. The Power Scroll will now half the casting value of a spell instead of causing a spell to be cast with irrestible force on any double. It's labeled offical, yet it is not currently in the Warhammer FAQ on GW's website.

If a MOD thinks it best, please feel free to remove this post. Especially if I'm gonna have GW branded assassins bursting through my door any time soon...

Terrorgeist: points around midway between a Hydra and a Treeman; a little closer to the Hydra

M - 6
WS - 3
BS - 0
S - 5
T - 6
W - 6
I - 3
A - 4
LD - 4

Special rules - Death Shriek, Fly, Large target, Regenerate 6+, Terror, Undead

Death Shriek = special attack for shooting phase. Can beu sed if marched, charged, or in cc. 8" range, need los. If in cc may target unit in base contact.

Roll 2d6 and add number of remaining wounds. For each point that exceeds targets ld, target suffers 1 wound with no armour save allowed. Magical attack and wounds suffered are distributed as shooting.

Options - infested x pts / rancid maw more pts

Infested = bats explode from tg when slain. When removed as casualty all units in base contact take 3d6 s2 hits.
Rancid maw = poisoned attacks, excluding thunder stomp.

Monster that is a rare choice in VC army or can be taken as mount for a Ghoul King (Vampire lord with ghoulkin vamp power)


SoB info coming soon, may take me a while to get it typed up. That or I'll have taken a bullet in the head from gw assassins. Maybe a MoD if I've broken dakka law...

It's nice that you're doing that Kitch, but Dakka kind of frowns upon just outright posting statlines, points costs, etc.

It's better to err on the side of caution and whatnot.

But good to know that the Terrorgeist is pretty neat. Infested rule is fantastic.

With previous releases, the rules were made available as free .pdf dowloads on the GW website shortly after the white dwarf releases.

SoB stuff;

Faith points

- generate d6 points at start of movement phase for each turn. Does not carry over

Acts of faith

- Attempted immediately before unit acts in a phase (movement, shooting or assault). To use, roll d6 and add the following:

+1 if led by at least 1 of following
Sister Superior / Retributor Superior / Dominion Superior / Seraphim Superior / Celestian Superior / Mistress of Repentance

+1 if unit has been joined by at least 1 of following
Canoness / Ecclesiarchal Confessor / Saint Celestine / Uriah Jacobus / Arch Confessor Kyrinov

+1 if unit has taken at least 1 casualty

If total less than 5, act of faith fails. Faith point is lost and nothing happens.


Shield of faith - special rule that gives 6+ inv save

Cool it please, guys. No more personal remarks this thread.

You can artificially create a situation to achieve the desired effect. You can easily achieve "sell out status be reducing the quantity of product that they normally ship to their sites.

I'm skeptical with the sell out action at the GW stores due to their past corporate business practices.

Mythal wrote:My light-hearted and ironic jape regarding the Sisters of Battle being overlooked in favour of Vampire Counts wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

I was actually tempted to post something like that as well until having seen you went there first. Kudos.

The world would be such a bleak place if we would not have irony and sarcasm to dull the pain.

I didnt notice this till you said it. Hopefully this is FAQed.

So does anyone think they will print additional copies of the WD, given the success of this month's issue. (Or is that darn wishful thinking of mine?) LOL

I think the sell out is a matter of demand... this months had a good amount of stuff in it and the FLGS around me had for sale many more copies than they usually do and sold more than they usually do. Whether its a true sell out, a manufacturers sell out, or even just a regional sell out... the point is its selling better than normal. I think GW just printed the same number of issues they normally do, but that FLGS' increased demand pulled supply from their stores. If GW were going to pull shenanigans and create an artificial sell out they'd have done it before.

Yeah. That was me mistyping and thinking of Forge World's newsletter which I had up in another tab.

I never knew WD is printed in poland LOL

Anyway, i don't know why US is sold out because here in the UK, we have lots.

the first few release days only had like 2 but the next week our GW got lots new WDs

Maybe they are just slow at shipping it to america

I don't know in GW store, but there is still a lot of WD in newspaper stand, in France.

As it was already say, if these issues of WD sell well, I hope it means that more interesting content will appear...

I hope to Druss that it does, I was flipping through some really old WDs a while ago and was reminded how good it used to be.....actual rules everywhere *sigh*

At games day, We were in line for forge world for about an hour and by the time we got to the register to check out there was exactly 1 copy of WD left. which my friend a new VC player picked up.
I would say this is one of the better issue's of WD i've seen in a long time.

I don't know if "better" is an accurate word to describe the magazine on the whole. Certainly it's one with more useful content for VC and SoB players but the rest is pretty mediocre.

I picked up a copy from my local GW yesterday. They still had 3 copies left, but seemed surprised how fast it was going.

Wow, kinda funny. I got it almost a week ago in the mail, and it's, i think, the last issue of my now-lapsed subscription. Possibly one more, not sure. I flipped through it half-heartedly and then put it on the shelf.

The only other issue I plan on ever buying is the Necron release one, depending.

Don't worry it will be available by PDF in a few weeks on their website.

Even the SoB stuff is pretty mediocre. You'd have to ask a VC player on their stuff-- my guess is, as the star of the show (Sisters being a side show noone who worked on the thing cared about), they'd get more focus and thus better stuff.

Subscriber here. Still haven't received mine. Someone will pay if it does not arrive.

Interstingly the Vampire Counts with 3 (or is 4) new profiles have more pages devoted to describing them and their rules than Sisters do which is a whole army. The whole thing feels like an afterthought to jam in the back and the next one will too probably since they will be pushing Ogre Kingdoms which has newmodels to sell.

With the new delayed subscription shananagians, I was expecting mine to come like the 10th.. but I ended up getting it the 2nd, about the same time as I usually get it. Since you haven't gotten yours yet though, I'm not sure what their method is for shipping.

Meanwhile Sisters, whom have no new models, get less than nothing.

So the GW meta has gone from units with rules and no models, to models with rules you can't aquire?

Except for that whole buying the magazine from anywhere else (Mike offered up some above) or waiting for the PDF thing, sure. But you were just hoping to be clever and have us adore you, weren't you?

Broski, troll harder. It's silly to force people to wait and print it out when you could EASILY put the rule in with the model?
And no, prior to your douchebag call out I didn't want you to adore me, I had no idea you existed and my life was better for it...

I'm not your bro, buddy.

Or they could make you buy something... You know, like they do with all the rest of the codexes. In this case, the PDF will be available in September or October. For free. OH NOES!

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of a different company if you think GW is going to put their rules in with the minis. Not only is that going to be a pain if the rules change (since the packaging often stays the same and minis stay on shelves), but they haven't done that going back quite some time (if at all).

Which is odd, as 40K certainly outsells WFB, by a lot!

I'm hoping this is a very temporary stopgap 'codex', and that the real one is out within a year.

Hopefully!

We're past the fold on a rumors thread. Chances of their being anything but pointless arguing?

In all seriousness though, I'm sure we can hold out for a month or two until we get the PDF. Not the end of the world.

The WD sold out at my FLGS the day the WD came out. Glad I got the last one.

Nah, I saw a few left in Wakefield (Yorkshire, UK) today. Maybe I shoulda bought a few and flogged 'em on ebay for profit!

My FLGS had two left when I left there yesterday, they saidl they have sold more in past few months than in prior years. Pretty sure a guy wanting VC was buying one of the last ones.

Just grabbed one in a corner shop while i was at work
Not bad, nothing great though.

Last one i got was with the WE release.
Amusing to see a treeman for £20 (now £36)

Dunno depends on your definition. For example, a "douche" could easily be a label given to someone who's socially adept but really fething creepy and smarmy about it.

It's a joke, M. You know, the thing that people laugh at or at least chuckle awkwardly.

Where exactly is this White Dwarf new direction? All I see are adverts, more adverts, WFB section, Lotr Section, 40k section, Jervis waffle section, sisters jokex, international accounts(now called something 'gothicy'. Did I miss something?

Back OT, I felt very good about this White Dwarf. Sure it's a $9 glossy advert, but it is sooo pretty.

Ill give credit to GW for last couple of issues.. Theyre an improvement and 9$ for an hour of interesting ready is fine with me..People spend more than that in order to be allowed to watch movies

Not sure if that is part of the dictionary... although it is a very long entry... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=douche%20bag

Can we stop the seriously Off Topic stuff in here, and discuss the August WD issue instead?

Thanks!

Yep.
BTW WD is now OOP in Germany as well. And in GW's world, OOP rules for a new miniature are a success to brag about.

I still have a few issues in my store. I'll put 'em up on ebay like those other scumbags entrepreneurs and net me a niiiice profit.

Wasn't selling your new ipod enough?

Manchu wrote:Subscriber here. Still haven't received mine. Someone will pay if it does not arrive.

Another subscriber here who has not received a copy. I called and was put on a list of people have not received theirs yet, so who knows when I'll see it. They said they are trying to pull this issue form other stores to fill orders. Thanks for putting your subscribers on the back burner.

Saw it in store, don't want it though

I am sure GW didn't print enough copies of WD so they can say "it's a sell out", just like how Microsoft and Sony when they released the 360 and PS3, stores only have 10 copies, so of course they sold out, so it would seem there is a big demand for it.

I am sure WD is the same thing. No way that there is so many issues unbought and all of a sudden nobody can get their issues, espically subscribers?

Come on BS on this one. GW knew subscribers would complain on the internet so again free plublicity for GW and the WD. This was done on purpose, it's not a real Sell Out. It's an artifically made sell out.

They did it with the BA WD Dex - released it in two parts in WD, and then two months after part 2 they put the whole thing up for download. They also had the Daemonhunters codex on pdf on the site as well.

I'm just going to wait until they post it for download (and am going to expect they will). If they don't, no loss for me either way (and I do have SOB/Witchhunters).

Give it a few weeks, it will be in PDF and available from several sources.

It took GW several months to get the Nightspinner rules up.

So yeah, they'll go up. But the exact timing on that is probably up in the air. GW wants to make the rules available, but they also need to balance the need to encourage people to buy the magazine instead of just waiting for the inevitable free pdf on their website.

I bought the German edition of WD. It should only take me about two months to translate the article.

I bought the issue the day the owner of my FLGS set it on the rack, just because I happened to be there at the time and was bored. I also wanted to see the oh-so-vast improvements they made to the SOBs and Vampire Counts, lol. But from what I could see, there was only the copy I bought and one other on the shelf... could it be that they only sent him like, two or three copies? And he does have a partnership with GW and all, I can't imagine the guy setting only two copies out and keeping another, like, seven behind his desk. I'll have to ask about how getting the magazine works. If my theory is lame, point it out.

Supposedly, the Japanese edition WD article was published in English.

Can anyone confirm?

I heard this from a local SoB player(whose parents are naturalized immigrants) that had been contacted by players over there he knows for a translation into Japanese(odd situation, I know).

I think my brain will explode long before I finish translating this article...and next month there will be the second part in the next German edition of White Dwarf. I may be the only person in this thread that hopes that the second part is published late.
