Hopefully a stupid question: the whole three paints thing. Is that only three pots of paint for the entire order, or three pots maximum of one colour?
(I need lots of paint - I'm basically starting again from scratch)

Its 3 of each item you add to basket for the paints, sprays included. Also, the shipping bites for sprays, they can't do free shipping if you add any due to the restrictions imposed by Royal Mail.

cool, thanks : )
It's just paints that I need, I have some undercoat so I should be good!
Right, off to spend a fortune! lol

Be better.

I really must use my powers for good and not evil.

. There May Be A Queue

We’re expecting fairly high demand tomorrow, so we’ve put in place a queue system to limit the number of folk that can browse the website at a given time. You might have seen similar things put in place for other online shops over the past few weeks.

Guess the busy period shortly after the webstore opened up is over now; could freely browse around with no sign of this queueing system.
Only when I returned to the main page after completing my order did another screen pop up for a fraction of a second, supposedly the one indicating the waiting time. Probably had some fun illustration on it, but it disappeared before I could see it.

I got in at 8 and 9 am today, with just a 30-second wait the first time.
I'd forgotten to check what I needed to order, and expected a queue to be long enough to find out.

Entitlement, duh.

Let's stay on target folks and not drag this off topic.

For those who've missed it due to there not being a queue, there's a special video by James Workshop where he quickly details the rules for making purchases (Pretty much a rehash of what we already know, but with more ham) and declares his undying hatred for Anthony and the rest of Antarctica.

That video was funny enough to watch while waiting

My local game store already got a lot of new GW stock in today.

Torn on this. There are several things that I would like, but nothing I really need for any current projects.

As much as I’ve given HSM flak in the past over a couple posts, this is clearly a joke with the whole “killing friends over pots of paint”. Unless it’s Blood for the Blood God. Then murder is basically encouraged.

Lol yeah, especially because i have 2 pots of it and 3 bottle of Army painter strong tone
Im not sure how though, but my FLGS got a restock of it, somehow they are getting it.

The way you guys are talking about Agrax Earthshade, people would think it's https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Fsii1nw-k/ or something.

IT is one of my most versitile paints i use, that and rucksack tan are staples of almost any model

remember Devlan Mud?

I think I still have some dregs in a pot somewhere. I think it is one of the smaller pots that came with starter sets.


Most recently, I liked the effect of some Athonian Camoshade over a Xandri Dust spray that I used on some alternate scheme Plague Marines.

I take it that video only shows up if you're in a queue. Do you know if it is anywhere else on the site/comminity/facebook? Can't see it anywhere and do love me some James Workshop Cheers

I think young James is a big Matt Berry fan. If he's not then, wow...

You mean Devlan Miracle? Or "Liquid Talent" as it was sometimes called. Yes.

IDK if anyone noticed, but the FW site is completely shut down, redirecting you to GWs webstore.
which whilst i understand, i am bummed, i do like looking at their vehicles for inspiration.

This. I was complaining about this the other day. I don't want to buy stuff, I just want to look at the models.
It wasn't like this before GW reopened for online sales. They should have just kept the FW the same "no orders at the moment" way

Makes one wonder how hardwired the 2 stores are. Is it possible GW cannot have just one of the two "no orders at the moment" way? Hard to see how but then again haven't seen code myself

Or they might actually take the chance with the upcoming FW books to put all their stuff into one store

That is unlikely. Especially as gw doesn't want to encourage sales of non plastic too much.

Delivery times indeed taking hit btw. Usually shipping notice was in hours if in stock. Now still waiting. They weren't kidding about delays. Well friday likely was lot busier than usually

Looks like it's locals or perhaps generous UK friends for us. Though with Sydney's partial reopening this past weekend I suspect it might not be too long for GWAU's warehouse...

I made an order on Friday, mainly some paints but I picked a Leman Russ too lol. Just for something big to do for these last few weeks of lockdown.

Depends what stock the Warehouse holds though.

It’s a long, long way to Australia for freight!

Backlog first I guess.

My Lt Amuliuses have shipped, so hopefully my Libby and Sisters will follow soon.

Just got a shipping confirmation for an order placed in mid-March that included a print on demand item (The Loathsome Ratmen and All Their Vile Kin), so looks like that is up and running again.
Despite an email in late March notifying me of the problems caused by the pandemic and government measures, they still managed to be within the estimated time as it happens: dispatched 51 days after ordering, where they listed a shipping time of up to 56 days.

Not sure if this would be the place to post this, but anyone have any ideas when they will have a full reopening with the factory and everything else? I haven't been keeping up with developments in the UK regarding covid.

(I'm very keen to get the last warcry warband and a box of Lumeneth infantry.)

Nobody knows yet. Odds are good not even GW knows. UK I think is announcing what to do with restrictions on wednesday so once that is known GW might be able to tell.

Even once decision is made though it takes 2 weeks for furloughed workers to return though.
