Guardsman Bob Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) A buddy needed a ride to the airport so on the way back I hit up The Bookery in Dayton for the first time since the Bush administration. Low and behold... http://home.earthlink.net/~rigmarole_bob/_images/IMG_1784.jpg eBay has been barren. Another buddy couldn't even find any of these at Gecncon. Part of me wonder's if 6th & 7th editions sanitized the game of IG/AM players enough that stores cut back or stopped stocking. Regardless one day later I'm still feeling thrilled about the find.

walter h Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I talked to the stocker where I was getting my GW, stuff and he said that GW, had cut back on units going to the 3rd party stores . I asked why and he said GW,was opening new stores ,and low and behold I looked up GW,stores in my area ,and saw the new ,Warhammer store. We now have 2, near by,and one just celebrated it"s reopening as another celebrates it's birthday. You might hAVE ONE OPENING NEAR YOU VERY SOON. didn't mean to yell.

wulfgar hammerfist Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Nice find! I haven't been able to find any locally. I am contemplating converting a NIB wyvern into one. Guardsman Bob 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) I was actually going to get either a Basilisk or Manticore myself, are they now hard to find? I see they're both "temporarily out of stock online" on the GW UK site... Is that actually temporarily? I guess there's always Forgeworld for their trio of sweet sweet Basilisks!

Reyner Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 @NatBrannigan pretty sure I saw some Basilisks and Manticores in GW Leeds the other week if you're after some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr13 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Well, the issue is that they seem to be *really* popular atm, so whenever the GW store gets some stock, it gets sold out again in hours... And if theres any stock remaining at a store, then its from before they went direct-only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I think my local has a Manticore. I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardsman Bob Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Nice find! I haven't been able to find any locally. I am contemplating converting a NIB wyvern into one. Slick idea. Also with enough patience a chimera is dirt cheep on eBay. I might just slap on some 1980s GI Joe missiles and run with it. wulfgar hammerfist 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3AKHOUR Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) I was considering getting rid of this awful green thing I found on ebay a while back because the missile rack has been broken and reglued a thousand times and there's bits missing, might have to restore it now.

NatBrannigan Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 GW Leeds you say... Although now I've kind of got my heart set on a Forge World Basilisk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'm Heckus Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Hey! The Bookery, that's my store! I used to be games manager there back in the 90's. Ha! Small world. Edit: In fact I played my IG there this past Sunday (after hours) and used my Manticore.

PlateofWaffles Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Ah, The Bookery. I haven't played 40k in over fifteen years, but I've always enjoyed the lore so I kept up on that front. Walking in that store a few weeks back made me realize that I was ready to get back into the hobby. Reading the rules, 8th seems to have cured why I walked away. Going to spend the winter repainting my old army, and then if I'm feeling brave might head in to see if I can find a game. Friendly little store.

duz_ Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Welcome back to the hobby Waffles! 8th is definitely a great edition to get back into the hobby! Rules have been streamlined, but the tactics and strategies are as in depth as ever. Not to mention Guard are in a really good spot right now too! :D Looking forward to seeing what youre working on! Maybe some before and after shots of your old army your working on? I wish I'd done that before I dunked all my old Mordians in dettol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
