I just noticed that Knights Renegade may be going permanently out of stock at some retailers in the UK. For example:

Element Games has a lot of stock at the moment, but says "no more available" after that.
Dark Sphere says "out of Stock at Games Workshop".
Triple Helix Wargames no longer even has it in their list of products. They definitely had it a few days ago.

Does anyone know for sure if it is a limited production run only, or if they are likely to keep making more over time?

I was thinking of buying a couple of boxes at some point, but I might need to get on and do that soon if it won't be available for much longer.

Thanks!

Yeah it's difficult to get but dunno about the reason for it though could be anything like

1. Going away due to not selling enough
2. Going Webstore exclusive
3. Production capacity problems

Fairly sure GW said it was limited production run to support Codex Imperial Knights Release. It's a silly level of saving over retail.

Selling Renegade for any extended period of time would make selling questorus class knights basically impossible as a warden kit is like £10-£20 less than renegade.

I always assumed it was going to be a limited release so I ended up spending money outside of my hobby budget on it. As mentioned, the savings are very high.

Yeah, after figuring out the savings I grabbed a couple boxes myself. Knights army get! I can sell the terrain piece too, which makes them even less expensive. Crazy stuff.

Of course renegade isnt here to stay. They could as well discontinue the other two questoris boxes if it was.

Just like last time, mind you. We've had this box already and it also didnt last long last time.

I bought 2 renegade boxes because i knew it would eventually be sold out soon. I'm happy because thats basically all questoris i'll ever need for my knight army

Out of interest, did anyone have build instructions for the Galvanic Magnavent in their boxes?

Nope does anyone actually need them it's designed to be modular terrain.
I used mine to build a little dock for my knight's as unfortunately sector mechanics terrain looks lovely but has minimal impacts in game.

Yeah, I'm kinda sad i was out of the country while it was o sal3. Maybe they might re do it one day, I wouldn't mind a £40 knight.

Can't, I'm still abroad. I'm abroad for half a year and everything 40k related out here is more than I can afford. XD itmwouod be cheaper to buy the knights separately. XD

Thanks for all the replies.

The Sector Mechanicus instructions are available for download on GW's Knight Renegade page on the webstore - they must have realised that they forgot to put them in the box!

Not really no, although it is "modular" in the sense that it can be combined with other Sector Mechanicus terrain, rather than being some sort of dynamic kit.

I was just curious to see if it was an oversight or just not included at all.

Exactly where I got mine, so I'd guess they just didn't put it in any of them.

I’m sure it’s a limited run, but I’m guessing like Space Hulk we’ll see it reappear again a few year’s hence - probably coinciding whenever a new knight’s codex drops.

It never ends well

You are probably correct. I bought two boxes the first time it was released and still need to paint two IK.
