Which look cool, but I've not seen any of them ever sell, and the ones on his shelf today where the exact same boxes that were there in December...
To be fair, the special weapons went out of stock completely (though they're back) and the Deimos is just straight up sold out for the time being.
It may not be that they won't, just that they currently can't.

No, the GW mangers exact words were "Stores do not carry anything except the Box and the Books. The rest of the Horus Heresy line is available on Webstore only."

It depends. I don't find them to be completely useless. A lot of times they have a better inventory than my LGS, especially when it comes to paint, supplies, and most kits.
I just found it odd that they're not carrying a very popular product as standard stock, especially when almost everyone in the store today was there looking for Heresy stuff.

I wouldn't take notice of what the shop keepers say until a couple more weeks, in my experience they are the least reliable source of information. Only the decal sheets and dice are direct only, but what an actual physical GW store decides to keep in stock is likely going to vary. My FLGS had all the items in stock, I didn't bother checking what the GW store themselves had in stock.

It's not the worst thing in the world, just that I'm having trouble getting anything in stock in my area. All the stores are saying the same thing, shipping delays galore. I was just expecting more from the actual company store I guess.

Maybe they sent all your stock to Australia, because for once it’s really easy to find stock out here Both the boxed set and all the other bits and bobs seem pretty well stocked in LGSes over here, and also online stores. Only the decal sheets and dice are hard to find.
Hopefully they restock soon for you too.

Ok, Warhammer Digital now lists the AoD epub preorder. Price is 39€.
Preordered. I'll just need to sell my physical rulebook, which is luckily still shrinkwrapped inside the AoD box, reckon I can sell the physical book for about the same price as what the epub costed.
Now we just need the Liber armybooks as epubs!

Quite tempted to get the MKVI Tactical set( 20 marines ) and Ahriman, and run them as a tactical combat patrol in 40K; Librarian, 10-man squad, 2x 5-man squads...

keep in mind that those are bare bones tacticals, no specal or heavy weapons
Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two
don't get me wrong they're beautiful minis for what they are, but they're not ideal for a 40ktac squad. honestly the kit from an assmbly POV feels more like intercessors then tradtional tacs

Exactly. So when they do penguin waddle its a thing of terror and majesty.
There is no way to penguin-waddle terrifyingly or majestically. Unless you're a beached anchovy, I suppose.
Unless that 2 ton, heavily armed and armored penguin is waddling directly at you.

My local Warhammer Store has the AoD Box, Books and the all the other Stuff.

I was going to praise their bayonets but even the Emperor's finest seems to be having trouble...

ebook is great for sure, but I really want a softback mini-rulebook. The main book (and the legion lists) are shelfbreakers, and the main book was organized by a madman. Front of the book or back. Pick one, but don't smear the rules across the middle.

Meh. A couple special and heavy weapons aren't hard to get, even without the HH weapon packs. Even HH style ones (for the basics, at least) aren't hard thanks to how long the Calth and Prospero boxes were around.

I am building a 1st/2nd edition army out of my marines and picked up a couple of heavy weapons and special weapons on bits sites very easily.
Thinking about the Cerberus, Typhon, and various Sicaran turrets, will FW make resin conversion kits for the plastic hulls, or will they go straight to plastic? They had the Arkurian pattern upgrade kits for the shadowsword and a couple other variants after the plastic baneblade came out but before the plastic shadowsword sprues were introduced.
Yeah, the characters in the box are as big as Primaris characters. A really weird thing to do since the plastic characters for previous Horus Heresy boxes are reasonable size.
Painted up the sword praetor, and realized it was pretty much unusable next to the rest of the range. Had to finally cut up and convert the plastic priest from Betrayal at Calth box instead.

I don't really mind the idea that some Space Marines are bigger than others, it seems to be a reoccurring theme in the fluff that some are just extra big. Though a whole head taller is maybe a bit much?
