The Queue for Australia is now up for the site.


So it looks like 1.5 hours before actual Pre-Order time listed.

[Edit] It is also now up on the U.S. site

The queue is down for now. Expect it to go up for at least 15 to 30 minutes as each pre-order time goes live.

Wasn't expecting some of the models to be on shared sprues that were. I guess it's on par with Indomitus though, but hopefully the really good ones get a second life in mini starter sets and not over priced boxes like what happened to the Radukar's court or the indomitus stuff

If if follows the Indomitus pattern, the two big sprues with Yndrasta and the Gnashtoof will be sold individually for a high price. The other sprues will be in reasonably priced starter sets.

And the two single smaller characters but not other two smaller characters stay out of box? For potential individual release later?

I think Indomitus had warden and captain in boxes etc but there was the other two on individual sprues and they’ve not turned up right?
Or are they in the biggest starter box?

For Indomitus there are 2 characters in the recruit box and 2 more in the elite box. I'm sure that it will be the same for AoS. GW are nothing if not predictable. If they put the new scenery in the command box equivalent that might end up being quite a good deal.

I wonder if the “big sprue” will go for more from this box.
They were pretty cheap in the last box being split out.
But now that we know GW are selling them direct only for £75, I can see that one going for quite a bit..

Any word at all on digital rulebook on the Azyr/AoS app?

I was tempted by the previews but locally they want the same price as they did for cursed city and $260 USD equivalent is too rich for my blood.
Pity.

I’ll be livid if they don’t have those. They already lost my book money for 40k not offering digital versions there.

Ebay is your friend.

Yeah. Some will be on starter sets. Likely some won't like in 40k and come separately(for half the whole dominion). High candinate will be winged character, annihilator banner sprue for sce for about 65 pounds.

Starter set discount will also be lower.

Also possible something won't be available separately at all. Don't think solo release of necroe overlord is out?

Necron overlord is in the elite box.

I’m expecting to be disappointed on that front. 40K has lost its digital books. The Warcry Grand Alliance books didn’t get a digital release. I’m fully expecting AoS to be next.

Twenty minutes to pre-order start and GW's website has this to say:

Welcome to Games-Workshop.com
The webstore will be reopening soon.

We are expecting high levels of web traffic when games-workshop.com reopens fully, so to ensure a smooth service for everyone, we will be using a digital queuing system.

Anyone who was already on the site will be placed randomly in the queue when the store reopens. Everyone who arrives after will be added to the queue in the order of arrival.

Calls into question the idea that getting on the website earlier does anything to help your place in the queue.

Middle of next week GW is going to tell us all about Warhammer+. Right in the pre-order period for the new edition of AoS, the timing of which we knew or could reasonably guess for a month now. I'm tempted to say keeping AoS digital editions was never a realistic expectation.

Sucks to have ownership replaced with a subscription as far as I'm concerned, but maybe the service will at least provide quality digital editions again.

Yes i know. Separate. Solo. Ie without buying starter sets(say you don't need one). Starter set is expensive way to get 1 model.

Blimey. Queue estimated at an hour!

Yeah getting the same in the mean time I got it from Wayland

Picked one up from Element. Initially tried to buy from Darksphere, but their copies are due to be shipped out in an autumn second wave, which I thought was a bit strange.

Hopefully it drops quickly for you, mine went from 54 minutes to 23 in the space of about 2 minutes.

And now it just went from 11 to 7 in the space of one.

They might have burned through their first wave for physical/in store type customers and reservation lists. Thus leaving them with just a second wave. It might also be that GW has some stores getting abulk of their order in the second wave and not the first.

Did the price on Element just go up? Now £112.50, was £106 about 2 minutes ago... Still showing 10+ in stock though.

I'm ordered up via my FLGS for once @£112.50 anyways, so quite happy about that, but sad about having to add to the pile of shame

I'm in the queue. All I want to do is look at the 360's.

Two friends of mine managed to get 2 each.

I certainly saw it at £106 earlier. Goblin have/had it at £100 and Firestorm a no discount of £125. Happy hunting everyone, at least the queuing system has not seen an Indomitus like sub 15 minute sellout.

Got my turn eleven minutes ago, but I fell asleep and now I have to wait 30

I hadn't realised that the objectives are a limited run and 1 per customer. Had to place 2 separate orders for the 2 sets I wanted - more for scatter terrain than objectives.

My queue claimed to be 39 minutes but in reality was more like 16. I’ve got to say, compared with the frantic scramble to get Indomitus and Cursed City, this was a great, stress free experience.

Got to tip my hat to GW. Queue system seems to be working as intended. Certainly preferable to the free for all scalaparam

Queue was kind of nerve wracking, but got to give it props, it worked. Even got the coin set which was surprising. Much better release handling system.
If the ltd ed rulebook is still around later, i might go back for it. I'm a sucker for black on gold.

Yeah, I got it for £106. Wonder why they increased it so quickly? I wouldn’t expect one of the bigger Indie retailers to do that.

I wonder how they would handle the digital versions we already bought on the AoS app.....
