I wonder if it would be worth ordering ten of these and selling them on eBay. Not so certain because I still see some of the earlier HB in this series at the LFGS.

They will likely limit them to 1 copy per person to avoid that very scenario.

In the past, they've set limits set at 10.

So has anyone seen much of what is in the new book then?

Just the lizard men spaceship/temples taking off and flying away

Khaine had limits of 2 copies per person via the webstore.

Shield of Baal: Exterminatius was limited to 1 copy per person. Sold out within the hour.


And things like that is how other people across the country get completely out of a copy.

I was intrigued by the small format hardcovers...and considered getting them...but I still haven't seen any evidence that they will be doing any of the 7th edition codices in that format...so far, it's just been the 6th edition books...I would like to guarantee that I could get the whole set in the same format before I commit...which brings us to the issue many are having with the End Times and Shield of Baal soft-cover re-prints...why can't they re-print in hardback? (obviously because they aren't willing to place an order large enough to get them the volume discount they feel comfortable with.)

They first dropped the small format hardcovers as a librarium edition...(while supplies last). All the currently available codecies and just a small format rulebook for like 600 or so dollars, back in late may/early june. If they do a second version of that, (with the rest of the codecies) I wouldn't expect to see it until after necrons is updated.

I doubt the small format books have sold that well as a whole, so I dunno if we'll see them further (even though I really like them). The only way you can get them is to web order them, so it's not like you'd run into the the store and just pick up a copy if you were a new player and going to start an army, unless it was pointed out to you and you were wiling to wait for shipping.

Anything on those new armored rat ogres with the weapons team arms?

Btw is anybody else kinda p*ssed about all these new warhammer fantasy rumors and such. It's totally stealing the thunder away from the new skaven releases. Seriously we should be seeing what the new vermin lord kits have. Let me know as soon as somebody gets a copy of the 'end times' book or the models.

I talked to the store owner at my flgs (not a gamesworkshop) and he said that the armoured rat ogres will just be rules and no models for it. I assume he is right but sometimes idk haha
Would make sense that it is just rules and then have a release when they rerelease the army book (whenever that will be)

This flies in the face of GW supposed policy of not allowing units/characters for which there are no figures available.

Well when the current skaven book came out wasn't there no model for the abomination it just came out later?
We already have rat ogre models so having an option for armoured ones in the rules means just use normal ones for now.
It could even mean that new armoured rat ogres are just straight up new rules for regular rat ogres giving them armour. We have yet to see at rules for them yet but it'll be interesting to see when they do come out

That was before Games Workshop v. Chapterhouse which (supposedly) brought about the policy.

Well, there have been pictures of them in the background of the Verminlord stuff.

And a new plastic Grey Seer.(It looks like Gilbert Gottfried.)


Also, @FlamingKillamajig. Check the internets. The rules for all of them are out. And the rules for Thanquol.

Grey seer yes but the pictures of those armoured rat ogres are hard to tell what exactly they are. I'm just telling you what my local store owner told me that's all

Now that is hilarious. No chance of this being the case, ever. Gw does not release rules for models that don´t exist anymore.

I agree with what your saying and I think there will be models for it but I'm just telling you what he said. Now he is an old guy who never looks at the interwebs so I rarely believe anything he says but im just saying haha

What??? Now I'm starting to think GW will just hit the undo button at the end of this campaign and put everything back to normal because that's way too big of a change.

It's up and the site's running like molasses.

Yup I think the site crashed.

It's running for you?

I had one in my cart, and then it kicked me off the site...

Ughhhh. I have my mom on her computer trying to get one too but error 524 for the both of us.

I had one, but the site won't load after pressing Checkout.

If you're going to limit availability to just your website your website better be able to take the strain...

Thats where I got too, then it just went to error. Now I can't get anything. Oh well.... I guess I just saved myself 75$.

Well, there goes my plan to make my last GW purchase the Skaven dice to treat myself. I'm only getting an error page generated by the CloudFlare servers stating their site is timing out. Congratulations to whichever ebay scalping leech manages to get a set instead of me, I suppose :/

I can't even get the error to come up, just a constant load state.

I'm frozen too!

It's not loading for me either, tried calling...busy signal

Got through on the phone, still on hold.

I guess that is what you get when you move ALL the traffic for a book to the website.

They better have a plan to make this right.

They have a plan alright, and it seems to be working. So many people want this book it crashed their site.

"This is great news!"
