The Webstore Returns – What You Need to Know on Warhammer Community.

Yeah as expected, no US orders.

New things can run out of stock because GW never knows what will sell well in advance- they can take estimations on sales data, but they can't predict. So they generally understock a bit, esp with retail kits that will cast up again anyway.

So things like Ossiarchs and Sisters going out of stock is perfectly normal and fine at launch because that's a one-time exceptional selling environment where you get people spending big money in one big go en-mass. After that GW can restock and then settle their production to the market demand amounts roughly.



UK store will be back online and GW are limiting some products as well (like paints). So that should help stop some hoarders. There's also an online shipping waiting list so if you don't get in you get put in a waiting system until you're allowed in. That's likely more so that their server doesn't get hammered into death and breaks within 5 mins of opening.

My biggest hope is that they respond to the Prophecy of the Wolf potential to be scalped with "3 per account/address" rather than "3 per order".

Kudos to whoever did the illustration at the top of the page, with every character purchasing colours of paints corresponding to themselves/their own faction.

The page announces "all the details"... but gives no actual time

I understand they probably want to try and prevent loads of people logging on in advance but a time would have been nice.

Luckily I am fine for hobby supplies so will be avoiding the inevitable scrum.

There's no time given to avoid a situation like this...


... you would have everyone sitting on their computers smashing the F5 key so they can get their orders in first, threatening to crash the system even with the new systems in place. And do you know what kind of a ruckus GW would hear if something kept them from opening right on time? So no, an exact time isn't a good idea for this.

I wonder if they will address paints.

My local, which is closed except for shipped orders and curbside, has ran out of all GW paints.
Even before shutdowns, the Contrast paints were difficult to get.

I can't imagine it getting any easier when the paint supplier is making sanitizer

You mean other than this?...

Due to expected high demand for certain things, we will be limiting sales of some items to 3 per order. This is to make sure that everyone can get hold of the essentials they need.

it's a bit annoying that Canada is impacted by that as well :(

It explicitly states that they're setting stock aside for the regions that aren't opening yet.

They say in the article that they're putting some aside for the countries where the webstore isn't opening up yet. Of course they don't say how many...

ITs really lame Us wont be opening when we are the ones most in need of hobby products.
I dont want to go kill my friends for their posts of Agrax Earthshade, but we might need too.

Wish I could find someone to go halves on that; I really want the new Ghazkull, but have no use for the Wolves (and nor does anyone I know).

Why is America more in need than anyone else?

Store open now. Estimated wait time for me: over an hour. Lol. Well mostly checking stock. Won't order until vouchers arrive

For me it went from one hour to ten minutes, so hopefully I can get my Agrax before I need to head out for work.

I’m just happy to get an email saying my copy of “Saga of the Beast” is finally being dispatched!

Took around thirty minutes of waiting, but once I got in everything was just fine and was done in under five minutes. Upon completing my order I was immediately put back into the queue, which is fair enough on their end, frees up the store for other people again.

Got my order in. Nothing too fancy, just some odds and ends.

Sure would be cool if it was open in Oz. Been trying to get Wracks for a while now, and stockists don't sell 'em...

And why is there a queue to get into the website if you're not taking orders from my region. Uhh!!!

Want me to order some for you?

Less than a minute queue and got my Made to Order Sister of Battle with the benefit of free shipping.

If anyone uk based wants paints or models, I have a shop nearby that sells. Im happy to send out for cost/postage. I know it's a little late now the webstore is open, but if anyone has issues, the shop stocks most standard boxes and larger boxes sets.

Any word on when/if that pre-lockdown Lord of the Rings MTO will being kicking off?

No and until factory opens probably won't be any news on that front

Probably wont go ahead until all the regions are open to order again.

No queue at present, which is pleasing. Kinda.

Mighty nice of GW to lower the free shipping threshold before the made to order for the event exclusive Sister runs out. That made the decision to get one easy.

games workshop isn't going to put their employees at risk so you can get a pot of agrax earth shade. the US is the current epicenter for corvid 19, and likely will be for some time to come.
