So guys, i just went to the forgeworld site and all i see is the EVENTS, DESIGNERS and DOWNLOADS buttons, i cant browse the miniatures to order them anymore. And I confirmed with a few other people its not just me. Is anyone else here having that issue? I could not find another thread dealing with this so if there is one please drop me a link there instead. Thanks guys!

**Kanluwen**

Just went there as well and can confirm.

There is only "Events", "Designers", and "Downloads".

I can still get there, if you look at the part that says Welcome to Forge World, and then I clicked on Warhammer 40k, which is underlined in the text there, you can go there and see the armies, and then see prices

On the UK site the front page also has lost the Shop button, however if you click on the featured models (I used the Fire Raptor Gunship), and then click on the links just below the title bar ( Home • Warhammer 40,000 • Space Marines • Space Marine Aircraft • FIRE RAPTOR GUNSHIP ) you can get into the store.

**giantearlessgnome**

I have the same... But if I click on the fire raptor link at the bottom it brings up the page which let's me add it to my basket and also further links to things like the fell blade which I can also add to my basket... In addition I can then navigate to other areas using the list just below the one which is missing...

Strange!

**NickOnwezen**

Interesting notes, Is this some bug then or possibly a portent of the long rumoured move to the main gw site of forgeworld kits?

**Zygrot24**

Very recent, I was on looking at the legion bikes only a few hours ago. Exciting!

**Brother SRM**

I can still get into it just fine; you just have to click on one of the various items on the front page, like Kharn. The actual "store" tab isn't around though, that's true. There's the rumor that they'll merge their site with GW's core site, but who knows if there's any validity to it. Guess we'll find out soon enough!

**NickOnwezen**

I am a big fan of the idea that I could walk into a GW store and order forgeworld. I really hope there is some truth to that rumour. But why would they announce this tomorrow when they could wait until saturday and charge you for the announcement?

**Krellnus**

You can still search for different products in the search box next to the checkout button.

**Mr. Burning**

We are pleased to announce the first stage of our project to introduce Forge World products to the Games-Workshop website.

Already you will notice some exciting changes to your hobby experience online.

Hobbyists will also be pleased to hear that the value for money shipping rates that Forge world provide will now be carried over to the Games-workshop site - all your purchases will incur a simplified postage charge based on a percentage of your spend.

We are not just moving the Forge World experience, we are actively making Forge World products even better. Finecast versions of the most popular Forge World models will be available to buy straight away. We aim to transfer the rest of Forge worlds production as soon as possible. This will assure you of our claim to make the best model soldiers in world.

Pretty sure Joseph Conrad didn't have anything to say about the Forgeworld website.

**NickOnwezen**

Looks like the site is back to normal now. Just a false alarm guys!

S'okay, I'm thinking he just made that up.

**Krellnus**

I hope so, my heart just might give out.

**Mr. Burning**

Sorry guys.

iI I had the time I would have made a better job of it though.

**Skinnereal**

There's a lot more to it now.
Dive into any of the links for models, and the shop's there.

But also, Bundles! Not sure if they were there beforehand.
They're selling stuff like 3 Rhinos for £90.
There''s chapter bundles, too.

**pretre**

The bundles were there before on FW's site.

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

It was just a glitch.

**Phobos**

I do have to admit that I threw up a little bit in my mouth when I read the above comment about fail cast forge world.

**pretre**

So, since this was not even really a thing, can we get this shut down?
