I'm not tempted. I'm gonna do it.

So am I. Waiting for gw to show off the proteus land raider, and start getting some of these kits out in the wild.

Ironwing seems the natural fit, as it shifts Predator Squadrons to Troops.

You better believe I’m gonna have 8!

Yeah, definitely doing Ironwing for my vehicle army.

No idea how practical it’s be on the field, but what a glorious, glorious sight it would be.

Looking at the Ultramarine RoW strikes me as a good mix of tanks and infantry seems like it would work well. Not going full armored spearhead, but definitely planning a solid mechanized part of my list.

The 30k tanks are looking like a lot of fun

(Despite me hating painting vehicles)

It's all good to see all these new plastic kits

But we actually need to be able to buy them

True. But given the lack of CSM kits, and the two week period for paints, I think something has gone wrong again.
I'd love to see some HH previews of pre-orders tomorrow.

I have to say, I am impressed by how fast the legionary helmets are being released.

Do you mean the speed of the previews, or is this just sarcasm?
Because the only ones on sale at the moment are the IF (Sons seem to be out of stock), same with the shoulder pads, other than reissuing the DA and IW stuff (for non-mk6 armors)

They really need to just get on with releasing the helmets/pauldrons...so they can MTO the legion torsos for mkiii/iv, cuz I've got some replacin' to do!

Rapidly losing interest in starting HH, it's been over a month since the MK.IV and III kits have been in stock. :(

They've been going in and out of stock sporadically. The problem is they're in-stock for a day or so and they go out again.

Seems if you want them you really have to keep your eye on the webstore.

They keep coming back into stock, then selling out after a few hours - I ordered some MKIII yesterday.

It’s worth trawling whatever local stores and FLGS might be local to you.

From running the Loot Group, you’d be genuinely surprised how often high demand, or short run items can languish on a shelf somewhere.

Oh, and as soon as we know the Deredeo chassis is crossing the Rubicon Plasticaris? I’m gonna do a Fury of the Ancients too.

“Rubicon Plasticaris” oh man that’s baaaaad. Imma have to copy it now.

I knew there was a crap pun in it somewhere. Took a while, but here it is!

Rubicon Plasticaris. The process by which any Forgeworld Kit makes the transition to a plastic Citadel kit.

The first kit to cross the Rubicon Plasticaris, pointless fact fans (as in fans of pointless facts. Not the fact fans being pointless) was of course the Tau Piranha. And an amazing kit it was too for its day.

That may be true across the pond, but I've yet to see a US restock of either, even for just a few hours.

I've been subscribed via email for notification on the MK.IV and III for three weeks now, and haven't had anything come through to say stock is available.
Third party don't seem to have access to the reboxed kits for selling on? gak out of luck, oh well.

Third parties can get the mark iii / iv but they make less on them because they are direct. My guess is they have about a 20% margin as most places sell them at the GW cost price or 5-10% off.

It’s worth bearing in mind that even Warhammer World, which I live near , hasn’t had a good stock of the boxes or the books since after launch weekend. So it’s not just traitorous colonials that are seeing stock shortages 😂

It’s also worth bearing in mind that right now we are coming upon the big U.K. school holidays so a lot of places experience 4-6 weeks of running on far fewer staff due to people with kids being on holiday.

If these guys were a 40K Blood Angels unit entry then they could also Deepstrike.

A quick note for folks on the fence about buying ForgeWorld HH stuff due to quality issues. Lately the resin quality seems to have finally caught up to the prices and I have been very pleased with orders from an Achilles dread to SoH helmets.

I am not one of those who thinks its ok for resin to show up covered in release agent, or sweating no matter how many times it is washed, etc. So for me this is a big deal that I can order with some consistency.

I'm glad the stuff is out of stock everywhere, all the time. It means I'll actually have opponents to play the game against. You know what doesn't sell out? Aeronautica starter boxes. Coincidentally I am totally unable to find a game of that anywhere in the Southern half of Florida.

Could someone tell me how many of the 'accessory sprues' the 20 marine box of beakies comes with? Two?

'Accessory Sprue' is a misnomer, it really is essential - but you get one per two marine sprues. The "accessory" sprue has the rest of the bits for a squad of ten that are not on the 5-man sprues, such as ten holstered bolt pistols and pouches/grenades, in addition to the vexilla and sergeant bits.

It looks like two - "You can also build up to two Legionaries with a Legion vexilla, two with a nuncio-vox, and two with an augury scanner. "

Thank you!

Asked my LGS about ordering some and was told their out of stock until August at the earliest. Sounds like it may be a bit of a wait!

I've seen it played once and then never again. I found the game to be awful, but the models are cool. I bought a bunch to use as terrain for my AT tables.

Whether something sells out or not isn't terrible dependent on actual popularity and is instead largely down to how well GW gauge interest vs actual interest, therefore how much product is made vs how much is sold. A lot of the last wave of Aeronautica DID sell out and was restocked. Dominion didn't sell out and I can still buy boxes of it now even though I'm sure it sold more copies that a lot of things that did sell out, it's just GW assumed people were going to go gaga over it. Most of the HH stuff hasn't sold out here even though I'm sure it's popular, it's just the MkIII and MkIV... I'm guessing they didn't produce a lot and were instead expecting the overwhelming majority to want the MkVI kits.

I'm more surprised they sold out than that GW produced too little.

Between the secondary market having their claws on them for years and the scale change of the mk6, I'm surprised there's so much demand for the 3 & 4.

Some people are sticklers about fluff and want only Mk2-3-4 for their whatever legion. I don't really care and will happily field 40 MkVI in my Iron Warriors army.
