What an absolute shambles GW ordering is at present. Just wanted a set of cards...

Same here. Logged at 10:54, put them in my basket together with the book and 2 pots of paint that I had prepared beforehand to get free shipping, noticed that my adress had disappeared from the 14 millions website database again, reentered it, tried to pay with Paypal (on which I had pre-authentified to save time), and by the time I clicked order, I was sent back to my cart with the cards removed. Unbelievable.
I'm fuming right now, but this may be the last thing I needed to get myself off that FOMO crap. I could probably use a lower blood pressure every Saturday morning or so.
Same. Paypal even sent me notice. It's the simplest thing as well. A cheapish deck of cards not a limited edition book, hardly FOMO material...

I checked Ebay for LI cards. The prices are simply insane for the previous set of cards (another effect of GW only producing cards for a single run), so I suspect those had a much more limited run and were targetted by scalpers as usual.

I may pay £25 tops. Possibly. No way will I be massively overpaying any chancers for a deck of cards that's a nice to have. If GW restock, excellent, otherwise, tough for me...

I could order the book at 10:53 europe timeline and the models at 11:00 from gw direct.

I did expect a waiting line but there was none.
So im happy, if i need more i can wait
Automatically Appended Next Post: Will made my own cards in exel. so i dont need the cards, but it would be nice if there where enough cards for every one and the fakt that the are very slow with reprinting the cards is very sad compagny politic

Book was out of stock on the UKGW site at 1017 when I tried to order it. No LGS I could find has any stock of it either. Utterly ridiculous. Don't want to buy any more models without having the book for formations points etc.
Does make me more inclined to give Epic Warpath a shot rather than waste my time chasing stuff from GW.

Yes it was already out of stock. If you haven't seen it before they have a weird thing sometimes before it actually updates to say out of stock, where it looks like you can preorder, but if you had clicked on it it would have came up with a little "insufficient stock" warning and doesn't actually let you purchase.

Said it was available. But clicking add to cart did nothing. No message, nothing in cart. At least that's what my phone was doing. Now it says its out of stock.
Edit: Anyway, I know it's a year away, but I know I'll get all the models I need for Epic Warpath and the rules will be good as well. No bit-part release of rules that only 1 in 10 players can get.

New formations and units taken from the GMG video for anyone interested, hope its ok to post these?
Legiones Astartes:
Spoiler:
Formations: Legion Sky-Hunter Phalanx - Compulsory: 4x Vanguard slots - Optional: 2x Light Armour, 1x Air Support, 1x Vanguard - Rules: The compulsory slots must be filled with Scimitar, Land Speeder or Javelin detachments and Scimitar, Land Speeder and Javelins get Outflank. No mention of Outriders in the special rules, might be a mistake? If correct Outriders can only be taken in the single optional slot and don't gain outflank. Legion Drop Pod Assault - Compulsory: 1x HQ, 1x Support, 2x Core - Optional: 2x Core, 1x Air Support, 2x Support - Rules: All Infantry must be in Drop Pods (excluding deep strike models) and all walkers must be in Dreadnought Drop Pods

Solar Auxilia:
Spoiler:
Formations: Solar Auxilia Artillery Company - Compulsory: 1x HQ, 3x Artillery- Optional: 2x Support, 2x Bastion - Rules: Earthshaker cannons and Medusa siege guns don't suffer -1 to hit when firing without line of sight Solar Auxilia Mechanised Infantry Sub-cohort - Compulsory: 1x HQ, 1x Support, 2x Core - Optional: 2x Vanguard, 1x Air Support, 1x Support - Rules: All infantry detachments must be upgrades with Dracosans Solar Auxilia Super-heavy Company - Compulsory: 3x Heavy Armour - Optional: 2x Heavy Armour - Rules: Tank Commander same as core book, while two or more models from this formation are in range of the same objective, increases tactical strength of each model by 1
Detachments: Auxilia Dracosan Detachment - Transport - 37pts per model, +5pts for demolisher cannon instead of twin lascannon, changes Transport from (4) to (2) - Explorator Adaption, Transport (4) Auxilia Cyclops Battery - Support - 40pts for 2x, +40pts for 2x more, +80pts for 4x more - Compact, Remote Controlled Detonation (when within 12" of a friendly commander can detonate: attacks with all blast weapons, template over cyclops, no scatter) The detonation charges are listed like normal weapons and I can't find anything why it shouldn't be allowed to just attack with them without detonating raw? Of course that shouldn't be used like this and will likely be errataed Auxilia Malcador Infernus Squadron - Battle Tank - 70pts for 1x, +70pts for 1x more, +140pts for 2x more - Chain of Command, Explorator Adaption Auxilia Valdor Squadron - Battle Tank - 70pts for 1x, +70pts for 1x more, +140pts for 2x more - Chain of Command, Explorator Adaption Auxilia Stormhammer Squadron - Heavy Armour - 100pts for 1x, +100pts for 1x more, +200pts for 2x more, +4pts to exchange multi-laser sponsons for lascannon sponsons - Chain of Command, Explorator Adaption Auxilia Medusa Battery - Artillery - 130pts for 4x, +130pts for 4x more, +260pts for 8x more - Chain of Command, Explorator Adaption Auxilia Basilisk Battery - Artillery - 140pts for 4x, +140pts for 4x more, +280pts for 8x more - Chain of Command, Explorator Adaption

Logged in at 9.50am and was out of the queue in seconds. Only the book and cards were showing at that time and grabbed the book.
So I count myself very lucky and feel for the people who got screwed :/

A second book to basically inform us that if running games of Titans & Knights, we can take as many of their core-book formations as we like. They could have put that in a pdf at launch and started out with far more players...
If anyone is up for a game then I'm happy to run Knights with the full 30% as Solar auxilary. Otherwise Legions is a pass.

Add in GW has reprinted some decks for Necromunda, but not all, and nobody has a clue if a given pack will or won’t be reprinted, let alone when.
They're not Direct Only, they are Online Only, which means that they are not sold in GW's own stores, but trade accounts are able to order them (although I believe in most cases the discount they can order at is lower).

That and it has all the rules for units that were left out of the first book.
I already wasn't planning on buying the book because I don't support GW's piecemeal rules in overpriced books, was going to grab some of the kits though, but given they wasted an hour of my Saturday to not even release it, I'm going to go back to my 3D printer go brrr Tyranid Epic 3rd edition force and revisit LI when they get their gak together.

After having watched Ash's review of the new book, I am slightly annoyed by its contents considering the substantial asking price of the book.
There's like a handful of missions, and 2-3 pages of units for Astartes & SA each. That's quite stingy considering the book costs about the same as the core rulebook!
I could care less about the "lore spam". Give me a free PDF version of this book with just the missions and the couple datasheets any day instead of this tosh
If future "Campaign books" will be as stingy with their contents, I'll seriously be reconsidering further investments into them.. Made the 15€ cards seem like a bargain in comparison, sheesh!
I am starting to lean to the "LI is just a DLC trap" argument more and more with each passing day..

I tend to agree at this point, what's also apparent is just how phoned in calling something a formation can really be. The artillery formation for SA, the buy in is a whole hq base/model. That's it, that and 8 basilisks and boom its its own formation. I think that's indeed another problem with the asknig price for the book, if one can memorize the relevant few pages of actual rules in about 2 seconds of watching reviews I'm not sure what's left to even purchase, that is, if gw allowed me to purchase the book to begin with
Just reading the SA side of the goonhammer review and oh man will this game need some kind of limits on army building.

good that you know that when none of those (neither vehicles nor infantry) went to the tooling yet and no one really knows how the models will look like (render and prints can not really tell you how the plastics will look like or if the design changes)
but as Mantic said that they are trying to do the vehicles in the least amount of pieces possible so that people can focus on gaming rather than building, I am looking forward to how the plastics will look like
for the rules, a streamlined version of Epic with a different take on command will be worth a try, no matter which models are going to be used
and I guess by the time EWP is released LI will have gotten the basic stuff out as well
