Well the new Escher cards sold out in less than an hour on the Oz store.

I heard they sold out in less than 20 minutes, GW just never learns do they. If these production runs are so limited they need to be 1 or 2 per person on checkout.

And the Open Hive War and Mortalis cards are direct only, so you have no choice but to get them from GW.

They're still available though, as far as I can see. Ditto for the Ogryn gang cards.

UK store didn't take long for the Escher Cards to vanish either.

Though they have temporary out of stock marker so who knows

Book, Open War and Mortalis cards pre-ordered.

Open War cards sold out on GW UK store. Dang it.

Edit: Also, you would think since they are happy to keep churning out new decks of cards that they would do another run on those Necromunda card sleeves..

Look like the new Escher body might be compatible with the arms from the other kit.

Darn those cards sold out fast. GW really should just hunker down and buy their own card printing machine darn it! Or at least setup so that they can do a second order from overseas because I didn't expect them to go out of stock THAT fast.

It's been mentioned as something for the new warehouse / buildings - along with transfers.

Do my eyes deceive me or do we get an actual discount on the Ogryn Slaves?

Box of two costs €32,50 but the box of six costs €65,-.

Yes, but it's a splash release - once it sells out it's gone.

Don't know how long it would take them to get a new shipment delivered via their current partner, but a made-to-order wave should surely be manageable.

The card pack sellouts are always extremely disappointing. I finished my race at 10:20 and Escher were already gone by then. Thankfully managed to grab a pack from elsewhere and the direct only card packs from GW store. I’m going to have to start ordering mid-race again...

There are print companies who can do print on demand card packs, they charge an uplift and quality is sometimes occasionally lower than a proper print run but would be better then the current situation.

I would imagine much like the dice, they are made and the company moves on to other projects.
To get another slot when they are booked in advance probably isn’t easy

That said the packs sold out but the book hasn't which suggests that they underprinted on cards. That or the scalpers are buying up card packs like crazy.

Interestingly they’re tagged as “Temporarily out of stock” rather than “No longer available”; perhaps GW have woken up and are going to be doing a follow on run? Or didn’t have as many as they wanted due to supply issues?

I love how they're talking about Outlanders for Necromunda. Meanwhile, with Newcromunda, the 4th go around of the Escher rules have just gone on pre-order, with no Outlanders in sight.

Webstore limited me to 1 set of each card (not that I attempted to add more - there was a note under each entry).

Of course, that didn't stop people from getting loads of Indomitus boxes, so who knows?

Next book is Orlock, new minis just got previewed.

Puppies! I want those!

Those are nice!

I'm actually going to place an order for a box of Orlocks today, alongside of the Zone Mortalis cards.






"You get two Canids and a bunch of free stuff!" is how the box was described in chat for the previews today.

Well, it is a better box than the last two gang expansion ones.

Not that it was very hard, but there it is.

Interesting that the general tech level of the gangs continues to increase. I like that; it always seemed weird to me that they had access to bionics and plasma cannon but not the other toys the Imperium uses.

That said, I hope that when they do descend into the sump as a setting that the scavvies and whatnot are at the same level that they used to be and we get some proper horde gangs that can take extra bodies to a gang fight.

Be quick about that, or you'll miss out.

Well the dogs look like someone put effort on it. Unlike some rat lizards thingy...

On the other hand, stub pistol and hand flamers... eeww. Also the heads look oversize.

Big guys look alright. Full body harness is cool.

Interesting that both dogs use the same body but with a diffrent head and two repositioned legs.

Only downer out of this reveal is that awful flying stand.

Since the flying dude's body has the same pose as the non-flying one next to him I think it will be optional.

If ever there's a time and a place for replacing flight stands with a piece of terrain, it's here.

The one who gets tactical rocks for his metal grated floor? That don't even lie flush?
Fantastic.

Would just place him straight on the base, posed. That stand will cause all sorts of problems for terrain, trying to ambush, hiding, prone, etc.
