One of the best piece in the ork range is OOP:

And the big squiggoth is Temporarily out of stock again...

Arvus and Angron have been like that for...several months now?

Well, nothing went lctb, so that's good. On the other hand... *hands raised in futility*

It's not like GW/FW remove products based on finger in the air guesses, they know the costs of maintaining the moulds/production of them, the warehousing costs, they know it's opportunity cost, and they know their actual sales figures. No company should keep every one of their products they make available forever, it's just bad business.

Granted it sucks when they just disappear with no warning, but must stuff goes onto LCTB.

Part of the lack of profitability stems from the same thing that led GW to kill off specialist games - release thing and then proceed to ignore thing (bar minor edition related rules tweaks every now and then). Funnily enough, stuff that gets ignored stops being purchased.

A lot of stuff's most recent boost would have been from second editions of their Imperial Armour book, many of which are years old or never came to be.

LCTB isn't much better than no warning and if you do several weeks of stuff as they have done recently it prices people out who can't suddenly spring a few hundred pounds.

Looks like one of the Knight head has Sold Out - No Longer Available:

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Imperial-Knight-Head-VII

Well I sure am glad that the Knight head which Forgeworld advertised as Last Chance To Buy, then said wasn't Last Chance To Buy, is now no longer available, and so it clearly was the last chance to buy it despite Forgeworld saying that it wasn't.

That wasn't a complete shambles at all.

Just as well I ordered mine when they said that it wasn't the last chance.

I wonder if they'll still use the advert with it on..?

People already complain about the index FW rules could you imagine how broken they would be under the GW design team.

Also you just know someone would have the bright idea of moving the models over to failcast.

Wow, did you just post from 2007 or have you not had anything to do with 40k for a while? (BTW Failcast is dead)

Eldar aspect warriors, Tau charictors, Flayedones, heavy destroyers are all failcast, so clearly not dead.
You checked the eldar codex's, full of game breaking BS.
-3 to hit is balanced and fun, strategum of not today, doesn't screw over armies that rely on strategums.

It's full of BS thanks to Phil Kelly's incompetence for three straight editions (potentially four, no idea if he wrote 8th ed eldar too, but their current power level had to be either Kelly's influence or someone too afraid to nerf them too much from the OP gak that was 6th and 7th) and making his pet army broken to win in-office matches.

Even so, Eldar are outlier in 8th and besides, are now the most balanced they were in ages (especially thanks to DR stupidity being partially fixed). Funnily enough, virtually all efforts to counter Eldar I saw on the net were made up with pay-to-win FW junk. Various kinds of leviathans, relic dreads, fire raptors, Tau crap, lots of cherrypicked nonsense being straight up better than regular units (or even whole armies, see FW chaos renegades and IG when 8th dropped), yeah, FW is really "balanced" if people expect it to counter broken units, eh?

I thought Kelly just wrote background these days?

I thought we were assuming the codexes are made by a committee of ruleswriters?

Obviously the committee is Mat Ward, Pol Pot, and Trotsky.

Icepick to the head opened up his creative side.

The ruleset could use some permanent revolution, I imagine.

Given the FW and specialist games open day is next Sunday, shouldn’t we have heard something about it by now?

I’m going, but honestly all I know is I have a ticket and when it is.

Maybe their seminar this time around will include a preview of all the models that will soon be added to the Last Chance to Buy section?

I'd expect some pictures nearer the end of the week if there is anything new to buy for the Sunday. Not expecting a lot, probably slightly different preview shots to the same models I've seen at the last few events. I'm only going because all my mates are, we are going for lunch afterwards, and its down the road.

Apologies, didn't see it mentioned on the last few pages, but has it been noted that the airbrush paint range is on LCTB? Probably not as big a deal as miniatures to most people, but bad news for the people who use them.

I'm amazed it lasted this long with the main GW paint range now having an Air product line.

OK that did make me laugh

Any mention of seminars has disappeared online.... hope this isn't going to be like the terrible AoS days which was basically "look what's in white dwarf July" day.

The Seminars are now listed as "Last Chance to Attend".

Nobody claims fw is perfect balance. That's impossible. But it's more balanced than gw codexes that contains highest % of broken stuff and most broken stuff in power.

There's reason you don't see fw in top tables. Gw stuff is better.

They spent ten thousand years in the palace installing power fields in their knives, huh.

And the FAQ didn't address if the Hetaeron Guard's option for Paragon Blades really meant "blade" instead of "spear"?
