I thought their products had previously been absorbed into Forgeworld. Have I remembered wrong? Does that mean KGN is kaput?

Yup they were part of Forgeworld, all gone now though. No more historical stuff.
As for KGN you wont be able to buy it anymore.
They were never gonna release anymore for it anyway as Warwick left them over a year ago... You just have to wait and see if he has anything planned.

I take it that he owns KGN, I know he wrote it.

I must admit I looked at this rule set, but found the army list books just to expensive. Still its a shame, its nice a bit of historical got introduced into the GW world.

Holy crap! Was there any warning? I can't say I didn't see this coming though, unfortunately.
I was hoping to be able to pick up KGN and the WWI books at some point, but that looks like it's going to be a lot more difficult now. I wonder if any online stores still have them in stock.

Nice. I decided this afternoon to order a book (we play FOW, but after reading many AARs, I've decided I'd rather use this system).
Damn, damn, damn.

Really depressing. Missed the half price sale (or more like didn't bite at the time) but I knew the books wouldn't stay at full price forever, especially after the SALUTE firesale. Then they disappear, making me look like a fool. Guess that means no KGN or Waterloo for me.

That's the worst part of it. The least they could do is another sale. Instead they pull a Richard-move and just pack up with no prior mentioning.

Welp, the only GW(ish) products I would ever consider buying and they're gone without any warning. Bummer.

I'm really regretting not taking advantage of that half price sale.
If anyone finds an online store or something that still has KGN or the WWI books in stock, please post it here or shoot me a PM!

I also think its a shame, but GW dug themselves a huge hole with the whole WAB 2 fiasco. .
As above, if anyone knows of an Age of Arthur sourcebook for WAB for sale somewhere (and not for $70+ like I see now on amazon), please let me know.

You might find that they still have a few books stuck in there warehouse. If you email/ phone forge world (assuming they really did control WH) then they might have the copy your after and be willing to sell it to you. I've heard of people doing this with the epic ranges after forgeworld stopped listing them on the website.
