OK - who had February 2014 in the "H.B.M.C. Goes Completely Bonkers" pool?!?
That's about 8 years too late, surely?
As for FW in stores, it'll be via the in store order point, potential with free shipping to store. Actually holding stock in store? Not gonna happen. You don't hold enough of your delicate, packaged in zip lock bags, expensive to produce, boutique line on hand to stock hundreds of stores when nobody else stocks it and therefore have no incentive to improve what you already offer (mail order only.)

You do realize that a lot of their smaller stuff comes in blisters now, right?
I could see some of the things like Marine bits being stocked at a shop in limited numbers, but I'll agree with most of the rest of FW's stuff just potentially being "order via the in-store order point and get free shipping to the store".

The LR/Rhino doors I had last year came in blisters rather than ziplock bags. Though I can't see their traditional casting methods being able to keep up with the demand to get all those SM pads/doors stocked across the shops. Unless they switch to spin cast so that they can pump more out. The other issue is space in the shop itself to actually display the product and store a small amount of extra. A rough count of just the rhino door kits (not including the rear / top doors a couple of factions have) comes to 33 different options. I can't remember exactly how high the regular display racks are, but it can't be much more than 15 items, in two columns, so that's an entire display rack for just rhino doors. Add on the 50+ LR door options and you're starting to eat up a large amount of display space. Sure, you could double up and have two different options per display hanger but then you only get 3 of each and restocks become more time consuming as you can't easily see the gaps and have to count each option on the peg.
I cant see the stores stocking FW heck my store does not have wall space for it. I can see in store order with free shipping though.

Something very cool and very big has recently clawed its way out of the pages of Monstrous Arcanum. Trish Carden has been putting the finishing touches on this armour-plated beast and I caught sight of it basking on her desk in the Forge World Studio earlier this week.
A new monster soon to be set loose on the battlefields of the Warhammer world.
Back in our first blog post, eagle-eyed readers may have noticed models from Ian Strickland’s Iron Warriors Legion. We’ve had plenty of requests asking to see more and I didn’t want to leave you waiting, so here they are!
Ian's Iron Warriors are ready for battle.
Ian has been adding to his Legion over the past few months. Along with his rank and file troops, it currently includes Cataphractii Terminators, a Spartan Assault Tank and a Contemptor Dreadnought. Right now he’s working on both a Sicaran Venator and a Land Raider Proteus to bolster his forces. I’ll keep you updated on how Ian’s ever-expanding Legion is progressing in future blog posts.
These Iron Warriors don't waste time polishing their armour when they could be unleashing war upon their foes.
Khârn the Bloody, Captain of the World Eaters, is the latest model from designer Edgar Skomorowski. The latest addition to our Horus Heresy Character Series is available to pre-order now so if you haven't seen it yet, make sure you check out our latest video featuring Khârn in all his gory glory!
If you have a monster in your Warhammer army, why not send us some photos of it via our Facebook page.
That’s all from me for now. Make sure you check back soon for more from the Forge World Studio.
Chris.

Thank the lord. Reasonable way to get grav guns for use in 40k. I realize Graviton Guns in HH are not remotely as powerful and work dramatically different than ones in 40k, but pish on that. These are a fine stand in, and GW-owned property produced so seems legit and legal to me. Beats shelling out $4 a pop for a grav gun from bits stores.

The monster is the Dread Saurian from Monstrous Arcanum.

I love what Trish Carden has been doing with Warhammer Forge, I was so disappointed with the recent big plastic chimera and manticore from her, but her resin work, the merwyrm, the dragons and now this, lovely stuff.

Big important question though is which will it be? Bipedal or quadruped?
Seems like a 4 legger as you can see a bit of base under that left foreleg.
Curious to see what the completed model will look like. If it's bigger than the current batch of lizardmobiles, I don't mind the bigger price tag as much.
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
That brutal looking new lizardmen carnosuar like monster? I want it. My Khorne lord could do with a new mount as he's been performing above par in the last lot of games, he deserves a reward
Slaanesh: "Hey guys we're back! We brought presents. And yes, they ARE sexually suggestive"
Tzeentch: "So did we miss anything while we were away"
Khorne and Nurgle trade a shifty glance
Tzeentch: "Hey! Whos been touching my stuff! Where did my Old World go?!"
Khorne and Nurgle wander off whistling.

Pretty sad that the day has come where we rely on FW for deals.

"Rely" is a strong word. It's more that GW introduced a new weapons type and anyone not building an entirely new army from scratch needed them in droves, but the bits boxes only came with one or two at a time.
Would it kill them to offer a bits service again? I mean really.

From what I remember of the old preview photos it's a damn sight bigger than a Carnosaur, you might have trouble fitting it in your deployment zone.
