Current store opening prices are £20 for the AoS pair, and £15 for the Terminators characters. Prices are of course per model.

Suspect this’ll be £20.

Now to begin the hunt for new Stores opening, get some Looting done.

That varies. But join the Loot Group on FB.

Yes, that was another shameless plug.

Screaming ‘make me a Necromunda Bounty Hunter’ to me...

Right, time to chat with my local manager, see if I can find any store re-openings or relocations in my area.

I tend to monitor their FB posts as is, but new stores don’t tend to have those, and not all stores are equally active on that platform.

Should probably get another box of padded envelopes, too. Reckon the first opportunity run is easily going to break a four figure spend.

Really like the model, will have to make a special trip to pick one up!

Does anybody have a list of stores where she will be available, or a way to be notified when she does become available?


Not at the moment.

Last year, when Berek The Indomitable was revealed, they confirmed the first opportunity for him and Leena, which was in Australia.

We may also see a second such model soon, as Leena and Berek were revealed separately last year. I think.

Will be keeping an eye out for opportunities so I can service the loot group. Will report back here as and when I know something useful.

Given that, beyond infantry, IG has done quite well over the years, I'd love to see the following....

New Infantry Squad

New Heavy Weapons Squad.

1 Cadian, 1 Catachan, 1 in some form of Trench Coat (remember, Trench coats are water proof!).

That's six new kits total, which is quite conservative.

Oh, actually....9, because you'll need a command squad for each.

6 kits which are all competing with each other. You don't neccessarily double or triple sales by doubling up regiments you produce. Customer isnt' likely to buy every regiment they produce.


Counter to that is a range of designs appeal to different people’s aesthetics, thus expanding your potential market.

Body wise, they just need it be generic enough where a Space Marine Upgrade sprue (ideally) or FW upgrade kit (if it’s the only financially viable option for them) makes it distinct.

Sounds easy, eh? Probably far more involved than my tiny mind can comprehend!

Stores are reopening, but no word on Store Anniversaries as yet.

Normally, Milton Keynes is the first to get the new Anniversary Models. But, that’s typically in June, which has of course been and gone.

I suspect they won’t crack on with Anniversaries, which are normally a decent source of income and custom until things are relaxed a little further.

Either way, I’ll Looting for the Loot Group (Tat for the Tat Throne!) at the earliest convenience. Think my local Store is normally September, so provided that’s not changed, fingers crossed it’s just a couple of months.

Want one for myself, as I bought a ‘for charity’ Carl Weathers, and he needs his boss lady! (no I will not part with Carl Weathers. Ever)

Word of mouth, really.

I don’t know if GW Stores use other social media.

Moar threadomancy I’m afraid.

Loot Group has shown that Warhammer Edinburgh is relocating, and it’s reopening is 5 September. Hopefully, that’ll provide the first opportunity to get this goody to the good.

No guarantee it will, but I’ll report back once I know more. Which means price remains pending.

If you’ve not already joined up, see my sig, see my sig, made with, erm, real gorilla wig, for a link.

Moving to Castle Street, so far less uphill when I arrive at Waverley.

Yeah. Many, many years ago it was GW Edinburgh that drew back the veil for me.

Just looked into the possibility of working some Looting around a visit to my Dad, but not trains. Bums.

Ripper and the Captain getting models are suggestive they’ve been working on Catachan Infantry.

Unpopular opinion? I feel the 2nd Ed Regiments for IG were an error in judgement.

Millions of planets, only a handful of real note? I’d have preferred they refreshed the original Rogue Trader aesthetic.

Other opinions are available

UK price is £21, confirmed by my local store.

Less than expected, £1 higher than hoped.

Do you guys know if the Carl Weathers sculpt will ever be available other than the limited release it had?


In theory, yes.

I’ve got one, and the packaging says “Store Anniversary Model”

So once we get a smidge of normality back, we should find opportunity.

Indeed.

I grabbed one, and ordered two on Saturday. As local stock didn’t sell through by Sunday, I’ve been given the greenlight to get my remaining two off the shelf.

Sadly I don’t currently have the funds to get a small stock for later distribution in the Loot Group (short announcement, orders close just before payday, expensive month and flatmate bailed on a £150 loan). But she’s there for those that want, and that’s what matters.

That logic doesn’t follow though.

3rd party would just need a copy of the original to work out dimensions and design from there. Which is no different to super flexible multiparty kits.

Wait can be up to 180 days, if memory serves?
