G8Keeper Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Ruh roh! DA Vets kit has gone last chance to buy. Get em while you can. Dare we hope for new models? Or is this just a fuss over nothing? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353355-veterans-go-last-chance-to-buy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_r_parker Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Best case scenario - they're getting re-boxed with 32mm bases instead of 25mm bases. Given GW are pushing Primaries instead of regular marines, I don't think there's a chance we'll be seeing new robed marines. Worst case scenario - these just aren't selling anymore (they've been around since 4th / 5th Edition) and they can't justify keeping them. Maybe there's been some damage to the mould and they can't find the business case to remake them. Might just be easier to get them just-in-case rather than miss out. Interestingly there's been a number of Fantasy Ork models going from the store, including the Azhag the Slaughterer model I liked but never got round to purchasing. Maybe there's a FW-style purge of older kits going on?

HandsWithLegs Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Looks like I'm going to have to pick these up, at least just to have. There's a ton of awesome bits in here that I don't want to miss out on Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353355-veterans-go-last-chance-to-buy/#findComment-5241136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Raziel Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 That box does have a lot of choice bitz even if you don't use/need robed Vets.

Interrogator Stobz Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Best case, we get a Lion awakening and a bunch of new super soldier monks to hang out with him. Downside is Primaris, but meh. Reality; they exist in the codex, to avoid third party issues we're going to have some option to buy Vets.

FlamingDeth Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 They'll probably point to sternguard and vanguard or something. I was going to rush off and get a box or two but then I realized the only things in the box that I don't have a billion of are the hat wings and those aren't quite worth the money.

HandsWithLegs Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I really hope that if/when we get models to replace these they still have the robes and hoods. I really love that aesthetic element, its one of the things that really drew me to the DA when I first got into the game and it would be a shame to see it go Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353355-veterans-go-last-chance-to-buy/#findComment-5241200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I only ever got two of these boxes, wondering what all you use them for gamewise, how many is it worth getting or having?

MaxB Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hopefully more robed primaris are coming! I never got this box - had a bunch of those old metal ones that came two to a blister. I like using them as Lieutenants, or sergeants on tac/dev squads. IMO robes are the iconic Dark Angels look Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353355-veterans-go-last-chance-to-buy/#findComment-5241263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skorp Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 These were the models that sold me on starting dark angels and they were meant to be a reward for progress with my army which I feel I've earned. Grabbed a couple boxes. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353355-veterans-go-last-chance-to-buy/#findComment-5241338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Same here; I started my DA in RT and the lead robed minis of 2nd Ed cemented it as a lifestyle choice, but these boys really made it possible for an army expansion. It'll be sad to see them go the way of the dodo. I have 35 so I should survive ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353355-veterans-go-last-chance-to-buy/#findComment-5241346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 DA vets are really old and not as detailed as the new kits. Probably they plan to update them in primaris form – it will happen sooner or later.

Robbienw Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 That’s odd, these are an iconic part of the DA look, and the kit has loads of excellent bits. It’s not that old as GW kits go, came out just under 12 years ago. Perhaps there has been an issue with the mold and they can’t produce anymore. I have loads of sprues so am good, but it would be annoying for newer players not to have access to the kit.

Robbienw Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I think it was a mistake. The Dark Angels Company Veterans entry has re-appeared and has no LCTB icon. The LCTB icon has also disappeared from the Fallen entry.

BlackTriton Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Its no secret that GW has production has a hard time to keep up with the recent growth of the hobby. I assume some kit will be going away because its they cannot put them back in production. This seems more likely than a short term primaris replacement (although I really want to see more robed primaris) Either that or repackaging.

Skorp Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Looks like maybe they meant to drop the fallen entry which is the same box and the IT team flagged both by mistake.

HandsWithLegs Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Weird thing is though the fallen entry is still included in the last chance to buy filter, even though they don't have the mark. They also seem to be out of stock on amazon and they don't say if they're getting new ones anytime soon. Has anybody sent any emails or asked any questions on facebook? Best case scenario they are just trying to get rid of the entry for fallen because new models for them are coming soon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353355-veterans-go-last-chance-to-buy/#findComment-5241772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jukkiz Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 On Finlands "side" of GW site there´s no veterans, just Fallen option on Dark Angels section but Search shows veterans still.(same deal really) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353355-veterans-go-last-chance-to-buy/#findComment-5244090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dimetrius Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Same in Belgian site. Dark Angels section only shows the black armoured [REDACTED] as last chance to buy. Search still yields the veterans, without any last chance to buy Stock clearing... or the shape of things to come?
