Or Dreadfleet, or Execution Force, or Lost Patrol... . Yeah, I think they're a bit cautious now.
But I wonder if that's the only reason. I doubt they made that few copies - I mean it was translated in French, German, Italian and Spanish (all sold out as well). Maybe they had a shortage of the terrain (according to WD it should have been up for pre-order today too)?
Both Execution Force and Lost Patrol are listed as 'Sold Out' on the web store...
Execution Force only went "Sold Out" as of this past week for the US webstore's allocation.

I just realised that the email from GW telling me about the release of Shadow War is time stamped at 10:10... so the game was actually Sold Out before the email even arrived? Yup, good times :-)

Thanks BrookM
But another question: How much for the special operatives?

No points attached to those, instead you exchange one Promethium Cache for a single operative. Promethium Caches are the rewards for winning games and slaying certain special operatives with the "Bounty" special rule.

Thanks once again. So no special operatives for starter warbands then.
Where did you see the rules?

The starters have the following:
Imperial Guard: Commissar, Ogryn, Tempestus Scion and Techpriest Enginseer.
Space Marines: Deathwatch Operative, Terminator, probably Apothecary (last one is unknown as of yet).
Orks: Flashgit, Painboy, Mek and Runtherd.

I think he means for the warbands first mission (before they have a cache) - which would presumably be correct. None until you earn some

Didn't read it as such, but yes, one would assume that the first game (or games, depending on your luck) will not see the use of special operatives.

Me too. Not sure I even will play it or it will be added to my stack of games still in shrink (like Blood Bowl). I seem to have more spending money than I have time these days.
Better to grab it now and decide when it arrives. I can always sell on Ebay if I end up not....
I'm grabbing the free rules too:

Could be but I doubt it's as simple as that. Automatically Appended Next Post: They would be insane not to reprint it.

Haha, had one in my cart at 10:04 AM on the U.S. store, entered my payment info and hit "submit." To be told to the product was sold out. Good game GW, way to make me save $194 ( I dumped everything else in my cart too).

I suppose it doesn't matter, supply and demand and all that... They probably could have put them up for $150 and still sold out in 10 min.

Selling out in the US after 5 minutes is a pretty good sign that this will see reprinting.
Keep in mind that Space Hulk 2009 was a one-and-done deal too ...

Not gonna lie, pretty miffed right now. Been hyped since the announcement. Been up since 8am waiting for it to go on pre order. Get it in my cart and it's sold out before I can finish.
