aura_enchanted Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Gw is sold out in parts of Europe and Africa. I'm talking almost completely. Considering gw isn't making metal models anymore you can expect a possible shortage in other nations in order to cover their bases such as the usa or Canada. This was an unconfirmed rumor started at dakka dakka's general discussion sub-forum I can't link right this minute sorry This may result in sob moving to resin thought don't quote me.

WarriorFish Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I hate to rain on your parade but we've heard such things before and they amounted to nothing. Plus Finecast is almost certainly dead - especially for new endeavours. I'd take this with copious amounts of salt if I were you, it sounds like an old rumour recycled (perhaps even a third time?). Here in the hallowed cloisters of the SoB we learnt many years ago to do no more than take note of new rumours. What will be will be - in the meantime carry on purging in the name of the Emperor as it's business as normal :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 This seems to be a recurring rumor. I wish I had a model for every time GW ran out of SoB and quit making metal models. If you email GW, they can give you estimated dates on when sold out models will be back in stock. They are not desigining models for metal nor are they producing any more molds but I can assure you, they are still producing metal figures on limited runs and as demand warrents. As long as the model is on the web page -- even if it is out of stock -- it is still in production. It takes some time and effort to start up a metal productions line and break it down again once it is done so they have to wait until the stock is low enough to warrent the effort. I don't want to sound jaded or like i am trying to put you down because I really like to keep an eye on these thinngs. Thanks for letting us know. It might not be anything yet but one day we will see models running out of stock world wide and being removed from the pages. That's when you know the end is nigh.

battle captain corpus Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 ....sooo....much....salt... ;) On a serious note, I doubt this. As others have said, this has been in the rumour mill for soo long its almost oven baked in salt...or at least pickled. BCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I look forward to the day we all think "here we go again" and then some leaked pictures of new models creep out... Whether I still give a damn about what GW is doing by then is another question though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naminé Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Adepta Sororitas present in all 3 parts of the new rulebook... Recent Codex update through black library... 2 weeks of front page website time... Models still being sold. I think we're okay for a while yet :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well, rumours have reached my ears that there may be light on the horizon, perhaps... but you'll have to put Faith in the Emperor that it's his light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I have been hearing those for close to a decade though. Regardless last time I rush bought models was because GW scrapped battle fleetgothic and I was not taking chances. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Oh, I don't advocate rush buying anything. ^^; I think that new models will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It would be great to get new models but I don't have high hopes. I had hoped that forge worlds sisters of silence when they got around to making them would be our best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Maybe .... Most of the missing models are showing as "No longer available" instead of out of stock. Others, like the plasma pistol Seraphim Superior, are no longer listed at all. These are listed as "Temporarily out of stock." Adepta Sororitas Command Squad Uriah Jacobus, Protector of the Faith Missionary with Chainsword Sisters of Battle Hospitaller Here's the list of models "No longer available" yet still on the USA web page Retributor Squad Adepta Sororitas Dominion Squad Sisters of Battle Superior with Power Maul Missionary with Plasma Gun Battle Sister with Storm Bolter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Probably just more site shenanigans as we've seen many times before. If I remember right, the old site didn't have "no longer available" as an option so it could easily mean nothing? Hold on to your Sabbat helms and wait and see... as always! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Are we about to get elevated to the tier of specialist games? Spoken in hushed tones when discussing the ages past when everything was better... I don't think so. Not after the amount of coverage Sisters got in the 7th ed books. But there are few models on the site then there have been. Battle Sister with Storm Bolter 1 may be listed as unavailable but #2 is not there at all.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Unless I'm imagining it, didn't someone post somewhere about GW making new molds and such for the SoB and for a short time people wouldn't be able to pick up any? I am fairly sure the post I'm refering to happened, so maybe it is just that, but I have genuinely been hallucinating lately too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Bearclaw Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 One thing to bear in mind, late last year all the metal Guard ranges disappeared from the web site. Then a couple of months ago, they came back. A similar 'event' may be happening here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fibonacci Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm not speculating on anything here beyond what is on the web site. Some models are there, some are pulled, some are labeled out of stock and some are labeled no longer available. No salt required for that part. What you infer from there is your own business.

Dread Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 HAHA to the link. We've been hearing for years now from the phone boyz that plastics are coming, emphasis on years. As for looking in the new rule book, the only new model I found was the new ork dread big thingy. It will be nice if and when it happens but, until then....

CoffeeGrunt Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 If Sisters go plastic, I'd start an army of 'em on the spot. However, I can't help but feel it's highly unlikely. The GW store site often seems to throw wobblies, and several things have disappeared from there, inciting a furore of speculation, only to reappear as usual...

WarriorFish Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I've lost count of the people I've heard say that, I'd like to say that GW reads the forum so they'd know this but in all likelihood probably not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Aye, I buckled and bought a few of the metal models recently, but they're so darned expensive. Just for a small troops choice and a Canoness cost me nearly £60. I'd love to have a full Sisters army but at the current prices that's not gonna happen. Unless I'm really lucky on ebay. Problem is sellers see how much these things are worth (can't blame 'em) and price accordingly. I'd like to think that GW are finally going to make plastic Sisters a reality but I'm a pessimist when it comes to GW these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Pete Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I know what you mean. I got lucky and bought my Sisters army a bit at a time starting in 2nd ed., and have over a hundred models and fourteen vehicles. If I were to try and get that army now, I would have to basically sell my house. I think that one of the reasons GW keeps pushing the plastic Sisters back is because of low sales of the metal models. Not too surprising, considering the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
