Well I stumbled across this blog post this morning which seems to indicate (although I can't verify 100%, GW hasn't said anything about it) that metal production will be stopping entirely which means most of the Specialist Game range is just whatever stock they have until they're completely sold out. I get most of my stuff through eBay, but you fellow SG folks may want to stock up on some models (and probably some 'collectors' stuff for various armies, like Tallarn Desert Raiders.)

Well guys,

This is it. The last mournful days of a truly amazing thing called Specialist Games.

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust…

In case you have missed it, GW are cutting all metal production as they switch over to fine cast, and have let it be known that once stocks of Epic, BFG, Necromunda, Warmaster, Mordheim, Inquisitor run out, then they are gone for good.Hopefully the communities will continue as strong, but without models being sold it will be difficult to bring in new blood. Perhaps the alternative manufacturers will step up to fill the void.

It also somewhat annoyingly spells the death knell of my putative £100 armies series – given that people will be unable to buy the models at all!

I have put in a final panic buy order for some things I need to complete my fleets / armies - nabbing the last Rogue Trader Cruiser like it was the last chopper coming out of Saigon. I hope everyone got everything they needed, or can find replacements elsewhere.
