I've never known them to put anything up earlier than 10am (well, 9:55 sometimes but you know what I mean).

I'd check back in ten minutes.


Thanks. I thought it strange.

Everything's a bit weird at the moment when it comes to Oz and release times as we're in the period of the year where the East Coast has two timezones as our backwards neighbours to the north fellow countrymen up in Queensland don't have Daylight Savings, whereas the rest of us do.

So pre-orders go up a midday for them still, which is now 1pm for us.

For.those in the know (ebay resellers) is it the storm cast or orcs (or both) that are not selling.well?


I got the impression from several AOS players that the new orc aesthetic was quite poorly received. AoS has a lot of competition with well designed models, and convincing people to start a new army with one of the least popular ranges was too much of a tough sell.

One thing I had seen, is RPG players picking up some of the orcs for use in other fantasy games. With the winged lady being the only one that has much use outside from a few it’s a very weird box.

There is part of me that wonders if that project in fact began as Fimir, and then they decided they didn't want to try to rehabilitate them because of the negative attention their past might bring to GW.

Like, I love the Fimir design wise - incredible monster design, IMO- but I would understand their hesitancy.

The flip side is that they were in the Total War Games an no one cared at all.


If they come back, the rape thing will be gone for sure. But yes, i could see some people digging up their old fluff and screaming scandal

I'm not seeing the discounts. There are items listed on sale but prices are normal. Maybe warzone Charadon is 8€ less than normal.

GW has a damned queue on their website again. Uhh...

Anyway...

There are discounts.

For example, take the "Mechanicus Batlefield Scenery Collection". It's nothing ground-breaking - just the Battlezone: Mechanicus – Charadon and Battlezone: Manufactorum Battlefield sets. They're weirdly mismatched, making the bundle not really all that attractive.

But, bought normally they cost $250 and $84, respectively. This bundle is $233.

Near as I can tell, the Azyrite Scenery Collection is a similar situation.

Plus one vampire, minus one voucher. 13€ and free shipping for a GW clampack character. It's just like the olden days!

But boy, is the GW website slow even with the queue system in place. Painfully and unworkably so for the first quarter of an hour. I was in the queue twice over the course of half an hour and both times I got onto the website in under one minute. If that doesn't sound like the worst of both worlds I don't know what does.

Does it just not show prices as intended or don't you have the option to tick "Warhammer Day" under "New and Exclusive"? The German store page seems like it has the full listing with discounted prices.

For reference, Catacombs is 112€ and Dominion 108.50€ where the regular prices are 160€ and 155€ respectively.

They have excess stock they want to get rid of and the models are still good to use. And if you have to buy extra stuff to be current and play the game, so much the better.

Remember this is a thing GW does to benefit GW, not the customers. Customer benefit is basically collateral damage.

Well I can only speak for myself but I collect both stormcast and orcs and goblins and to me personally the new orc aesthetics does nothing for me to the point that I find that I dont want none of them on my army. Rending the box 50% useless.
It was not needed. The timing after more than year of no gaming made me wonder if I really needed to spend silly money on rules updates and books... The idea of a cheap ruleset AoS started with is long gone, free warscrolls gone etc and its now a mimic of 40k expensive rules that dont last long enough.

So all in all timings, expensive updates and terrible orc new style just was a bad combo for me.

GW has a problem IMO and the idea of updating rules every few years cycle does not work for me anymore.

I don't even do that if I get Squits.

Versteckt in den Schatten deines Geistes.

Predictions for the reveal:

Warhammer Underworlds - A warband or two, or perhaps the next price-gouged two-warband boxed-set.

Blood Bowl - A new team. Maybe two if we're lucky. I don't think we'll be lucky.

Age of Sigmar - Hopefully the rumoured Beastmen vs Ogres (?) box. A vague and pointless teaser for something else.

The Horus Heresy - The big new box/the future of the game under GW proper. If we're lucky Jaghatai Khan.

Warcry - A new starter box* with two new units - Spider-People and Big Boofy Barbarians. None of that matters. All that matters is the new terrain. Show me the new terrain. I must have new terrain!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warhammer 40,000 - Custodes vs Genestealer Cult box, a look at the two new minis, an attempt to justify why these two armies would be fighting one another, plus showing the front covers of their respective new Codices. A reveal of the second half of the Octarius DLC books. A teaser for Tau next year. I doubt we'll see anything else.

*This is GW's new trend. It's already here for Kill-Team, it's now happening with Underworlds. Expect more frequent (and higher priced) starter boxes for the side games going forward in lieu of regular releases.

Yeah, the n.ever ending rules bloat for both system is also really a turnoff for me. Minis are already very expensive, and now we have to buy tons of no less expensive book to use them. Though, personally, i must say thst my biggest let peeves with nuGW is the lack of customization on most kitd

Edit: holy crap, just realised ive written orruk instead of orcs. What have i become

I did not want to be very cruel for this first transpass but it may be more applicable indeed.
