Anyone know what time GW put their pre-orders up on a Saturday?

My guess is 2pm EDT (US East Coast) today (Friday), whatever time that is in GMT.

They go live 7pm uk time friday

Well the video answers that, but yes, it's turn-based. It's the board game, done in video game format. It's like Blood Bowl - a complete electronic reproduction of the game.

Although the BB computer game went much further with the full campaign system and the 'blitz' mode which gave you the option to play in a different, real-time version of the game.

BB is a much more polished product I think as well, and there is a lot more to it, you can tell it had a lot more money/time spent on it in development.

I still like the original dos game best...

God that games was so good at the time!

Looks like just about every UK online store has jumped the gun, it's 5% off at element games, plus postage, 20% off at the outpost with free postage (!) , plus the rest.

EDIT: My bad, Element is usually 20% off GW preorders but are obviously seizing the day on this one....... with their postage cost it means you may as well order from GW.

It's only 5% off at Element Games.

Yeah, seems like you might as well get this one from GW directly.

It's up on GW now, in the UK at least. Got my order in. Woo! There are also paint sets and a "Sin of Damnation" novella by Gav Thorpe.

And pre-ordered from outpost games, cheers for the heads up on the 20% off!

It's up on Wayland. Five quid off but shipping will wipe that out. Also, a limit of one peer customer, which is nice to ensure people aren't buying multiplies just to sell them on.

I ordered from element games as they are super reliable

Yeah, can confirm Element Games are fantastic. Every GW preorder I've done with them has turned up my house on release day (mainland UK). I'm only going core GW this time because the cost is going to wind up about the same, so why not?

I got mine ordered from the outpost £60 free postage !

Tried to pre-order from Frontline, but they invoiced me for 20% off $150, plus shipping and CA sales tax...so, will be cheaper through GW direct? Maybe they made a mistake...asked for an updated invoice. Hope they get back to me soon, or I will jump the gun and buy it from GW...

Edit: They got back to me real quick and sent an updated invoice. $100 + $8.25 CA sales tax + $6.99 shipping.... still slightly better than $125 + ~$10.50 CA Sales tax.

Best song ever. "Get out of my way, I can do anything, get out of my way, I can do it all!"

My bad on the element games thing, they are usually 20% off GW, Outpost are good I've used them quite a few times, just wish I lived closer to their store so I could visit/game there!

Another one for people - 4tk.co.uk is 20% off plus postage, they are not one a lot of people have heard of as they dont have the range of games the bigger guys do BUT for GW stuff they are good, I ordered the Lore of Death from them and received them fine, for example.

BTW Would I be right in thinking that nobody leaked the digital add on rules for Space Hulk were coming out ? If so this reinforces what I believe; GW is orchestrating the leaks.

Glad to hear that Outpost are good, as I rather rushed into that one! They have nice prices on things like Dark Vengeance as well.

Let's just hope they operate an accurate stocking system...

If you can't beat 'em.... join 'em.

If someone grabs the DW digital expansion, can you give some spoilers? I have a hunch they are regurgitated missions from the 1st edition ones published in the Campaign book.

Got my order direct from GW just to be safe. Can't wait!



I'm a big fan of the sequel





Just mash the circle and X button and hope for the best.

They do, one of the owners is active on various facebook trading groups that they sponsor, he stated they had been allocated a set amount anda portion of those would be put up on the website, the rest were for customers who preordered instore or store sales. Theyve sold all web allocated ones now so if you ordered you are okay, otherwise, I suggest try 4tk as even with postage you are saving about £10.

Better get one now, before that piece of gak alexchattaway buys them all from GW, and resells them at double the price on eBay.

Only issue with the terminators being on 40mm bases is that they are larger than the squares. If you try to stake up 5 terminators, they en up taking up 7 - 8 squares and it screws up the game.

I want to say the new one made the board a bit bigger as it use the newer sized termies. At work so can't check my set.

£10 for a dataslate with 5 missions in?! Good god. Save yourself the cash and buy the old White Dwarf that have these from years ago...


White Dwarf 158 - Return to Kalidus
White Dwarf 199 - Bringer of Sorrow
White Dwarf 201 - Duty and Honor

Looks like they had Digital DL of spare missions you can use your UM with or SW termies

Sending out an email with the title 'It’s Back! But not for long…' doesn't help with that.

way to go GW

Yeah, this time they are really driving the point home: "Strictly limited numbers...pre-order yours now to avoid missing out." LOL

I think last time they were genuinely surprised how fast they flew off the shelves, so they're really milking it out now.

I have a pre-order at my FLGS.
