I ended up buying one from a Spanish store, both wayland and element games were impossible for me to order from.

GW Site is buggy as hell, but I managed to F5 it into submission and order my copy.

Same, but remember that for the sister box some people had their submission cancelled after an hour.

It must really be in short supply Element Games only have store collect option for full retail £125. Had to order direct from GW in the end which is annoying as I have EG store credit to spend!

Looking at the preview pictures GW has on its website for Chapter Approved, I notied that the mission pack contains a lot of the rules of 40k, or at least it seems it does. There's 20 pages core rules (I suppose just the free PDF version), but also extra rules on reserves, terrain, etc. Are these rules different from the main book? I really don't get the point of printing those rules in Chapter Approved and the Core Rulebook. I haven't looked properly at the leaked rules from the Rulebook, but how much is in there that isn't covered by CA2020? It's a real shame we don't seem to get any previews of CA2020, because I'd like to know what's really in it before placing my order.

On the subject of Indomitus - have GW stated that the new points costs are in the rulebook, or are they actually making players buy two seperate rulebooks before they can play 9th edition now?

It's gw. Of course they are making.

No points in the rulebook and no points in the short codex in the indomitus box (only power thing).

Points are in CA. They're not making you buy more than the rules to play because PL exists.

Lmao just double-checked the site and Indomitus is no longer available...

I managed to bend goblin gaming into submission, had an easier time than GW's site.

Gobling gaming has this:



Anybody knows what does it means?

Seeing they have been consistent in pointing out this is limited time set available only while stocks last optimistic.

Gw doesn"t want to sell discount boxes too much or they hurt sales of full price kits.

You have that reversed actually. GW's "full price" kits are so expensive so that you are more psychologically primed to buy their discount boxes.

Element said the same in their email. Stores have basically no stock for the release date but will be getting more store 4 weeks later, so if you preorder from them it’s most likely coming in August.

The likes of them and element have been told that more of the boxes will be made and released for that date. We had that with the Sister's box, by November it was easy to get your hands on.

All in all though this is a bit of a PR disaster for Gw.

Wound up using GW, and managed to end up with two copies.

Currently hawking the spare round my gaming group, as I think at least one person missed out.

Shame no discount, but at least it’s more Tat for the Tat Throne.

@Galas Interesting, thanks

I'm waiting for the starter set. No time for that preorder as fast as you can nonsense

Are pl's available for free then? Seeing they get updated the ones in codex are just as valid and up to date as points

The idea that the starter box is somehow a limited edition product is blatantly a call to action from marketing. Rarity to encourage purchase.

They are push fit models, GW will make millions of them. What will likely happen to get around any accusation of fraud is that indomitus will be replaced by a new box set with the exact same models but with a printed version of the free download rules instead of the full rulebook and be on general sale in time for christmas.

Players want to buy but gw doesn't want to sell. Which is why gw deliberately under produces stuff. It's choice of gw how much they sell discount boxns and it's always less than demand

I wish sincere good luck to everyone who doesn't have a good FLGS to take care of them. I'm getting a box and another Necron half and I'll be paying barely above retail for 1 box.

When I looked they had this

(They seem to have gotten the maths wrong on a 20% discount too)

Here in the UK Indomitus sold out on GW’s store in less than fifteen minutes. Thought they made loads of copies lol
Managed to get a box thankfully, but Element didn’t have copies for almost ten minutes and once they did, it was collection only

I managed to get one but the UK webstore is sold out now less than 30 minutes into a 2 week window. I think they should have limited it to one per customer but I suppose that would only have expanded the window of opportunity by a few more minutes.

Eh...gw never ever has said this is starter set. In fact they have been shouting it is not on top of their lungs yet some people still think this is starter set. It is not

This is a 2 wave release, the first batch of stock will be available for the release date of the 25th July, the second is due to arrive in late August. You will be informed which wave your order is as soon as we can.

Don't panic guys. It looks like GW is not gonna make just one wave of this.

Have they tho?

Looked on the webstore at 10:15, already sold out. Not even 15 minutes worth of stock. What a sad way to run a business.
