I apologize if someone has already asked this already and/or if this isn't the right place to post this.

Anyways, the title pretty much says it all. Primaris Eliminators are Out of Stock on the Canadian Web-store, and have been for quite some time now.
Out of pure curiosity I decided to check the American, British, French, German and Australian Web-stores as well, and found that Eliminators are Sold Out on all of them.
Does anybody know what might be going on ? Could GW just be holding back the availability until the have enough in reserve so they won't sell out as easily again ? Or could there be something wrong with the manufacturing process ?

Anyways, any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

They are an incredibly cheep, awesome unit for the Heavy Support slot. If you have a spare 100 points or so and an open HS slot, you can't go wrong using these guys. They get even better with IF and Raven Guard. You would be hard pressed not to have one or two units of these guys in your army.

Maybe GW underestimated this "Hidden Gem" of the Space Marine codex.

They're building out more capacity. Low throughput plus high demand is a bad mix.

At $50 for 3, I assure you GW did not miss out on these "gems"

So how are they preforming for everyone? I got them in my shadowspear, but honestly every time I add them, they always seem lackluster. Played with em 2-3 times and they failed to assassinate a space marine level character. Maybe I'll wound them, but it'll never finish the job for me.

Take 9. Shouldn't fail at that point, but might take a couple turns for tougher characters -- more with body guards.

Though points could go up in the future, so, don't over commit unless you like the models.

Everyone here just bought the easy to build reavers and got the sniper hands from recasters.

Yeah over here they are incredibly scarce unless you pay obscene £££ to the few dangling out there.

For what it's worth most of our locals are happy there aren't very many fielded as good god they're obnoxious to play against!

Seems they are in aus as well, Seems a few things are. heh.

Keep trying with them. They are incredibly good for 74 points. They apply mortals. They deal d3 damage. Best used in combo with master of artisans as ironhands successors IMO combined with. While they can be used to kill characters they are actually good at killing lots of things.

Indeed, take 3x3. You cant go wrong with them.
Character hunting, pushing the enemy back, and what not.
They have several key uses.
