But has GW ever removed a unit completly from it's website (the past 2 weeks it was only market as permanently sold out) and did not replace it with a new kit, especially since the "lord" is still in the new codex?
I'm not talking about the new Lokhust Heavy Destroyer kit. I'm talking about the kit for this model...
It's the Lokhust Destroyer kit now and it's sprue has been recut to have four grey plastic rods to replace the green rods.

I dunno what you're on about. On the US site it's listed as 'Necron Destroyer' and advertised as including four green Necron Rods.

Destroyer Lord still appears on the USA and UKGW stores - out of stock but still there.
For some reason GW has recut the destroyer sprue, but hasn't put any updated photos online for the product. Likely because the recut means its not changed its product code so its not prompted them. An oversight perhaps or just that they've recut and no one has painted up one for display for the net.
That and/or they are keeping the old ones up till they run out of green rod stocks.

That may well be how it's advertised on the US site, because the US still has some stock of them to sell? I also wouldn't be surprised if the missing entries will reappear once their kits have been recut with grey plastic instead too.

Other posters on Dakka have received the recut kit without the green rods, and that is the kit used for Lokhust Destroyers and is even pictured with the datasheet in the new codex (there is no 'Necron Destroyer' or 'Destroyer' datasheets in the new codex).

It sounds like they are either replacing or complimenting Start Collecting sets going forward. We don't know prices and probably will not until Tuesday.

Huh. That Deathwatch box might make for a decent generic starter, as it slips in an apothecary and lieutenant. (price dependent, of course)
For anyone wondering why the article was late, britain had its fall time change. So its going to be out of sync with people in the US for the next week.
Sadly no finishing up necrons...

At least theyre launching the November stuff pretty quickly. Means we will likely know more about the upcoming Jan codexs sooner. FW compendium coming out is a big plus though

The Combat Patrol boxes will be more expensive then the SC for sure but could also be a way better starting point as they are basically an army out of the box not like some of the SC sets

Honestly, they should have made a new upgrade sprue, strictly for the Hounds of Morkai. Wolf skull helmets would have been popular as hell. And it could be a good call back to the Horus Heresy unit, the Deathsworn.

Admech got their Start Collecting refreshed not too long ago so if they actually replace the SCs going forward we can expect a long wait until Admech get their codex

It sounds like it is an upgrade sprue strictly for them, which is what pisses me off.
Raven Guard have their First Company regularly utilizing Phobos armor and we didn't get a special unit.
Shrike has a dedicated bodyguard unit called Shrike's Wing...no unit.
Space Wolves come out and get a special unit? Ridiculous.

Is it just me or is that not just a Reiver squad with an upgrade sprue thrown in?
Yes. So I don't get why the article says that they're getting a kit.
Because there's no upgrade parts currently for Phobos.
That's the already existing SW upgrade sprue. The bits from all the upgrade kits fit the phobos too, but inexplicably the rules don't let them take any of the weapons.

Ones a real snowflake chapter getting a new book, and the other is... in the list of first founding chapters.
No surprises here.

That would be worrying trend if these are really gone, price depending, yes. Kind of pity, wanted more Venerables
EDIT - Scratch that. As pointed out, the "Hounds of Morkai" appear to be nothing more than Reivers plus existing Primaris upgrade sprue, going by that pic.
I guess the wording does omit the word "new", so I shouldn't be too surprised...
