2x 5man Term/paladin squad
1x Gk Dreadknight
1x GK codex
1x GK cards
think even when back on, wont even bother don't want TS and the special character is to big for army.

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

I need to pick my copy up from my FLGS so I'm guessing it'll be sometime next week then.

If you bought directly from GW and had it shipped to home?
Monday will be the day it will start shipping.
If you had it shipped to store?
It should be there on Saturday.

In the UK GW are pretty good at getting direct pre-orders to you on release date nowadays, at least they are for me. Had the last four or so pre-orders I made turn up on the Saturday, including a couple of bits released last week.

So, considering that so far all the Combat Patrols on the Codexes are the same as the actual starter kit, I'm not that worried about not getting Hexfire. The only difference is literally one Grey Knight named character. Confirmed for good with the new Ork CP.
Scalpers got the short stick this time around.

The GK combat patrol looks like it will have 5 terminators instead of 5 of the strike squad, as well as a librarian instead of Crowe. The TS combat patrol looks like it will have an extra unit of Tzaangors instead of the Tzaangor Shaman.
Even though the differences are minimal, the Hexfire box is still good value - for 24% more than a single combat patrol, you effectively get two combat patrols with those named characters. The scalpers could still make a lot of money by splitting the box and selling each faction separately.

How many dedicated kits do Thousand Sons have? From the GW website I'm counting:
1. Magnus the Red
2. Exalted Sorcerers
3. Scarab Occult Terminators
4. Infernal Master (only in Hexfire so far)
5. Rubric Marines
6. Ahriman
7. Tzaangors (if you count the upgrade sprue)
Out of those a majority (first 4 items on the list) are apparently sold out no longer available with no indication that they are ever returning. How do they expect to make money off this codex release if half the army is no longer sold? Just from book sales? I'm honestly confused.

This happens with nearly every release. They are just up for Reboxing with a new SKU. They'll be back.

Why GW still haven't fixed it and aren't just marking them as "temporairly unavalible online" is beyond me. This is such a simple thing to not get wrong.

And it's such a simple thing to understand that the "No Longer Available" tag usually is there because the item might also be getting, as mentioned, a new SKU.
Stocktracking utilizes SKUs. Keeping them marked as "temporarily unavailable online" while outright discontinuing them is as big of a mistake, except it also y'know...makes it look like there's two SKUs to the systems that track these things.

Probably something in the backend on their automation side that has to do with closing out a SKU and how it affects the webstore.

I mean, technically, those kits aren't available anymore as they're being replaced with entirely new SKUs. So the website is telling the truth.

All the SKU replacement parts are true, though it's also not beyond the wit of man that GW could just add "reboxing coming soon!" to the description of the SKUs that are getting replaced.
