ordered one from Element this morning, £80, It looks like they had an allocation of around 100 and they are down to around 70 on Astra and Genestealer and 85 on Ork/Tau.

Ordered a genestealer one from Element as well. Really had no need for one but looking forward to painting them and will be a good start for a Necromunda gang once the cult rules are released.

The search bar and checkout options on the Element website never show up on my browser, which is why I shop elsewhere I guess!

Picked up a couple of Battleforces from Darksphere, I'm getting the impression that GW have produced more stock this year.

Same ordered 2 overlords from element without a problem , looks like they got most of the non GW stock?

Ok....So I ordered the blades of the blood queen watchmacallit and got it for 133 usd and free shipping I added up all that to the cart on the gw store and it came out to be 265usd (sales tax)

That 132 dollar savings...that's kinda damn impressive...

where'd ya order from?

The warstore

The Tzeentch Arkanites Changecult is interesting, is there any UK retailer that still offer free shipping to the EU? I'm not gonna pay 108£(1200 Sek) for it but might be tempted at 80£.

My usual store just told me that the stock, that was available for order for stores - was depleted. In Europe anyway.

I'm very on the fence about ordering a second Vanguard box. As everything I want to finish the army is in there (minus the second Lord Aquilor and Gryph-hounds, but I can sell those) but I hate having a pile of stuff waiting to be done. Plus it is an extra £80 at Christmas time. Decisions...

With discount (and even without) these box-sets do offer very good value for money. 80 quid for a sizeable force with a good range of miniatures. Nice work GW. Time to start a new army.

Looking at Element current stock is:
Astra Militarum 55
Blood Queen 76
Genestealer 59
Overlords Skyfleet 65
Orks Kult of speed 76
Stromcast Eternals 82
Tau 61
Tzeentch Arcanites 15

Where are you seeing the stock levels? I'm looking at the moment and it only has the pre-order date on it.

Add them to your basket.

Update on Element stock:
Astra Militarum 28
Blood Queen 72
Genestealer 39
Overlords Skyfleet 46
Orks Kult of speed 60
Stromcast Eternals 72
Tau 41
Tzeentch Arcanites 9

Last minute pay day ordering. I'm perplexed as to why/how they have so many when The Outpist is telling people they can order but won't get it til mid December, and loads of smaller shops got none. Here's hoping Element haven't screwed up......

Really indecisive over these battleforces. I might be taking part in an escalation league (500pts starting), and I think that this might be a good way to start. One person has Orks, but not sure on the rest.

I cannot start another army... but the ork deal is pretty sweet I must say.. 100€ with discounts for almost a complete beginners army... damn

I ended up ordering Overkill instead, if I move the Marines it's a way better deal. Plus tiles!

On the other side of the pond Miniature Market has them listed as sold out already and thewarstore says they are extremely limited in number.

It's also a really fun game if you decide to keep both factions.

Elemental Games have emailed to say they are delayed. Hopefully they are just late rather then end up being cancelled.

Damn, my element order has just changed from dispatching today to awaiting stock dispatching Monday. Think the stock levels were perhaps not quite accurate as it was reporting 60 genestealer boxes left when I ordered it last week.

Oh well, fingers crossed!

I don't remember last year were the Christmas battleforces in short supply then as well?

They always are (especially the 'good' ones)

sounds like the normal case of the GW rep accepting an order they later can't deliver on time (although since none of them are technically labled as limited they should arrive eventually even If GW has to make more)

Ministomp got theirs in on Tuesday and have been shipping them. My GSC is apparently on the way to me ^_^

I got a dispatched notice at midday today.

I ordered the GSC box at around 2 minutes after they went up for preorder but received an email advising that they were delayed with no estimated delivery date.

I put my order in with Element literally within seconds of it going up (I heard numbers would be extremely limited, then saw the stock levels looking really healthy all week and felt like an idiot. Besides, I always miss out on short supply items) and my order has also mysteriously changed from dispatching today to processing.

Haven't had an e-mail though. Will be pretty annoyed if they can't fulfil this but eh, thats what I get for trying to save money.

Element Games overpromising on delivery? No surprise there.

My order now says delivery for 8-9 December.

It's a surprise to me. I've made nearly 70 orders there over the last 18 months or so and 97%+ have arrived the next day. The others have been as per the delivery estimate if it hasn't been next day.
