War Angel Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 How can one find out about limited print models. Is there a mass notification system or something? I never knew about them till a month ago and now I'm paying way to much to try and get my fill. Thanks for the help.

Grotsmasha Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 White Dwarf and instore GW is about the only reliable way to get a heads-up for these sorts of things....

nurglespuss Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Which models do you mean? Games Day Models? Limited run books? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272656-limited-print-models/#findComment-3326903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Games day models and any other limited run models. Forgeworld had that one boarding captain I missed out on.

Olis Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Games day models and any other limited run models. Forgeworld had that one boarding captain I missed out on. Thanks for the help Usually someone on B&C notices there's a new limited edition model on the horizon and alerts the forum about it. So you could very well know about it simply by surfing on our little corner of the net. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272656-limited-print-models/#findComment-3327030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Perhaps it would be a good idea to have a sticky of such (B&C suitable) models inside a suitable forum?

War Angel Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Or simply sticky the new models until such time that they are not available Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272656-limited-print-models/#findComment-3327055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebG Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 A lot of the models like this are only available by attending specific events. Forgeworld also did the Arbite Enforcer model a year or two ago. They're generally available at Games Day, Forgeworld Open Day and limited other events (I got mine at Throne of Skulls). They aren't available online etc. The Games Day models are even more rare as they are literally only available on Games Day, at Games Day. Last year's Blood Angel: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bn1ZB2f1V60/Tvytg1WjNTI/AAAAAAAAAog/b0TUKxOfJEQ/s1600/Gamesdaymini1.jpg There's dozens go up on eBay the next day for largely inflated prices of course. If you want to fid out about them join Forgeworld and Games Workshop's mailing lists - these things are always in their emails in advance. Of course, older things like LotD Sgt Centurus and Inqusitor Gideon Lorr etc are all down to eBay patience. Don't always buy the first one you see and look for wrongly listed items (not everyone knows that they're limited, or even what they are) and you can occasionally find a bargain.

Leonaides Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 In my case, I would have only gone to Games Day for that model, but didnt have the time available to do it. Ebay ended up costing me half what the ticket and travel would have done, and I got the model I wanted...

War Angel Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 That's a bummer, I do not see myself going to any of those big games anytime soon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272656-limited-print-models/#findComment-3328061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Invictus Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It wasn't me who alerted you to them is it? Because I'll feel guilty if it's my fault you're spending so much money. But as for the models, they normally get announced on White Dwarf daily upon Games Day announcement, and the other ones used to be released with special box sets, normally mail order only. They did a few for the Fall of Medusa V too, those were some great models.

War Angel Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Of course you did, and don't worrie about it for a second, I'm just wishing I knew sooner. If you hear anything about them, PM if you remember I wouldn't buy it if I couldn't afford it or didnt decide it was worth it :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272656-limited-print-models/#findComment-3329461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
