Also wait a gosh darned second: if they're commissioning new art for existing books. Could it be they're planning to do a reprint of the Horus Heresy novels?? It's GW, it's literally only a matter of time before they go back to the well on reprinting the novels with updated covers and new Collectors Editions.

firestorm40k Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 WarCom just confirmed this is a limited edition, so that's less than 1% chance of me getting it then https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/02/05/the-art-of-the-horus-heresy-the-best-covers-collected/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcap86 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Man, I'd be so nice if they just don't pre-announce that? So all the scalers don't get to set up all the kit and kaboodle to blow up the site again. firestorm40k, skylerboodie, son of the forest and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkhorse0607 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I really love the False Gods cover refresh. To be fair I also liked the original but the new one really strikes me. I might try to grab the book depending on how much it goes for and how much of a pain the queue is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to find some time in the morning to try and pre-ordrer, hopefully the lack of limited editions means the it might be ok Matcap86 and tinpact 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Maybe we should all just stop talking about it, so then maybe scalpers will think there's low demand and pass. What, I can dream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 It might be a limited print run, but it's not a "LIMITED EDITION, ONLY ONLINE" kinda deal. My FLGS just sent us the order lists for Saturday and I can just get it from them. son of the forest, skylerboodie, Matcap86 and 1 other 3 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irlLordy Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 The limited run LEs range between 1000 to 2500 copies, so 6500 copies seems ok? Not sure how big their print runs were of the previous Art of books, but limited probably means "wont be reprinted" in this context, rather than "only scalpers get one". The fact that 3rd parties are getting some copies as well will hopefully mean you won't need to rely on GW website if you really want a copy.

skylerboodie Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 the prices for third parties used to be released for anyone to download via the GW trade website, but the spreadsheets stopped being uploaded at the start of 2024, at least in their old location (https://trade.games-workshop.com/resources/). Has anyone heard why or seen these available elsewhere? I assume GW now email these directly to their FLGS contacts, but would be helful to get clarity (and the prices/info early again!)

Thanks for the heads up - I contacted my FLGS who said they had one left from their order/allocation, so I've managed to secure a copy (phew! ) Best of luck to everyone else trying to get a copy!

Shield-Captain Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I was down to get it until I read the limited copies thing. I may idly try to jump on later in the day to get a copy if it proves not to be as popular but I doubt there will be one. I refuse to stress over LEs anymore.

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 A reasonable price and it looks like a great book. However, even though it isn't a full blown LE the fact GW have publicly announced it is limited to a set amount of copy's makes me think scalpers will jump on it anyway because they are scum.

Joe Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 I wouldn't be too worried; our LGS has been confirmed to be receiving a few, so I imagine that'll be standard for most places. Already asked for a copy to be set aside for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcomet Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Limited edition… What a joke. Is one of the head honchos an ebay scalper in his free time? Taliesin, phandaal and MegaVolt87 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliesin Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I agree that I wish they wouldnt announce that sort of stuff, even though this is the sort of book you should be able to get , its not super limited like real Limited editions. I think this is probably their normal print run for all the artbooks they have done in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Bearing in mind the crazy prices the original Collected Visions books are now going for, might be worth grabbing hold of a copy sooner rather than later if you want one. Although I don't expect it to get the same level of horrendous scalping as the latest Heresy book, as that's on NYT best seller lists and the like so was more likely to attract scalpers from outside of the hobby (I think this is a bit more niche by comparison).

Ubiquitous1984 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 There is no chance the 6500 sell out quickly. Most HH fans will already own an artbook like this. There are no new images, other than False Gods. What does this have that the last Visions of Heresy release didn't? 12 or so Siege covers and False Gods. No other new artwork. £42.50? Nah. I'm going to enjoy watching the scalpers get burnt with this one. It'll be stacked high at WHW for the next few months. mel_danes, Joe and skylerboodie 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
