Grey Mage Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 What it says on the tin. Browsing around the interwebs its seems like many are willing to part with their fleets for a reasonable price, on the other hand you can get them straight from GW.... and amazon has still in print models for 150 or even 400 dollars a box! So do you just sit on your bridge and laugh, because you have all the fleet power youd ever want? Do you order direct? Have you found any other suppliers? As I try to bring more people into the game, I ponder on where to send them. Please, no links to ebay auctions. Just discussion about how to find some more of a beloved specialist game.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I always pick mine up from ebay. Chaos fleets seem to go very cheaply on there. I've picked up 8 cruisers before at roughly $40 (Was £20 including P&P) Blackstone fortresses were £5 ($12?) a piece 6 months ago, so I bought 3 (4 actually but one got lost in the warp) Imperial ships seem to go for a bit more but not much, even the necron stuff is relatively well priced.

RADU LYKAN Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 my imperial fleet is about 50/50 gw and ebay, my chaos fleet is 75 ebay and 25 gw regarding the search for other suppliers, its such a niche product, being a specialist game means not a lot of places will stock it, even gw doesnt sell it in their stores.

Grey Mage Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 GW doesnt sell anything but the big three anyways.... *nods* Ive been looking on ebay, and the prices are usually pretty good. Just requires patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 When I am browsing for deals or something new, I trawl through ebay for ships. When I need something right now (like a week or two before last year's Adepticon), I order from GW. I simply haven't found other decent suppliers of sorts. What I find interesting is that the price of basic cruisers of most races has gone up, but heavy stuff like battleships have stayed the same over time.

Grey Mage Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yeah, its kinda weird that the xenos cruisers have gone up about 50%.... and since Im making demo fleets for three races I dont own, thats kind of a pain at the moment.... Atleast imperial/chaos cruisers are still a good buy. I feel bad for ork players. As well as ebay Ive been looking through bartertown and a couple of small independents who have left over stock from the old days when GW let anyone sell specialist games. I was hoping that maybe someone had one of those independents I hadnt ran across- a gem waiting to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADU LYKAN Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 bad for ork players? if they really want the gw ships then yes but i find most ork players get into the greenskin spirit and scratch build their own, its what i plan to do with my orks/nids and necrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 IN/Chaos plastic cruisers used to be $15 a box; the current price is ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 I thought they were always 20... but youre right, since I also remember they were the same price as my eldar cruisers, for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reasonable Commissar Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Ive just started to get back into it and had to eBay a set. Some stuff I may order new like the GK Strike Cruiser if I have to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The GK strike cruiser is about half the price of the GW one. Can always check this guy out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 GW is starting to eliminate Specialist Games altogether, and Battlefleet Gothic seems to be first on the list. They are gone for good and won't be replaced as stocks run out. Last chance to buy whatever you want from GW specialist games ranges, better be in quick. This is a list of what's no longer available for BFG as of this moment (in the US): Chaos Fleet:Despoiler Battleship: NLADesolator Battleship: NLARepuslive Grand Cruiser: 1-2 weeks (probably soon to be NLA) Possessed Chaos Cruisers: NLA Dark Eldar:Dark Eldar Cruisers: Not even pictured anymore Eldar:Void Stalker: NLAShadow Cruiser: NLAHellbore Frigates: NLA Imp Navy:Shark Assault Boats: NLA Necrons:Scythe Cruisers: NLADirge Escorts: NLAJackal Escorts: 1-2 week delay Orks:Completely Intact (For Now) Space Marines:Gladius Frigate: NLA Tau:Completely Intact (For Now): Tyranids:Completely Intact: Miscellaneous:Space Station: NLARogue Trader Cruiser: NLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Orlock Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Well... thats kind of sudden. Where was the memo?! Appears to have been done rather quietly, but then, GeeDub is usually fairly quite about pulling stuff from the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
