twopounder Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) Just discovered this and was able to grab one today - https://www.target.com/p/games-workshop-dawn-of-war-onslaught-board-game/-/A-94739548#lnk=sametab It has a heroes of the chapter sprue ($170) in a $50 box. Only catch is that they seem to be very limited. It was the last one on the shelf when I grabbed it and another guy got there a few seconds after me and asked if it was the last one. We looked around and didn't see any else. The store only started with 4 in stock. When I got up to checkout, the girl literally said "oh, are you the one that keeps calling about this?" Apparently its so hot that even random cashiers know the box by name. I checked stock online and there was nothing left within 100 miles of me. As a bit of a funny side story, I told her I only wanted the sprue and was going to toss the rest, since I don't care about it (I mean, its Blood Ravens). She asked if I'd give it to her instead. I was surprised and told her its basically just a bunch of cardboard, but she insisted she wanted it. I pulled the sprues and gave her the rest of the game. Maybe it will get her into 40k at some point. Not sure if this is US only, but it seems to be a Target and Barnes and Nobles exclusive.

crimsondave Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 If you're not going to the one in Augusta, GA, you're probably OK. It's the only Target I've ever been in that felt like going in Walmart.

Brother Tyler Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 According to the Internet (which never lies), there were four on the shelf at my Target this morning. There are no longer any on the shelf. I guess there's no point going now. crimsondave and twopounder 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386342-dawn-of-war-target-deal-honored-of-the-chapter/#findComment-6124299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkhainan Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 In my experience as a Canadian who enlisted a US friend to try to find one of the earlier Target sets, Target stores will say they're in stock and they probably are but they can be scattered all over the store. So he had a lot of trouble finding them until later, when they popped up as available for pick up. The listings in Des Moines did not, so, I wasn't surprised when he couldn't find them this week. I don't think Target is going to have a single wave of these anyway, I do not believe they make deals with GW without a certain target for volume. Also fwiw B&N's listing has it at $40, though I have a feeling that will be much lower volume.

Marshal Mittens Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I don't think you can get it in the UK, but it probably only costs 2 pence and a cup of tea with your local store manager over there, where as in the USA this is usually like a weeks wages.

Sucks for us outside the US, but it is easier for us in the UK to see a Warhammer store in the wild to lure us into the hobby. In the US, having these teasers available in places such as Target is a good thing to bring in that 1 new customer who lucked out and found a set that hadn't been snapped up by us ravenous hobbiests!

Pretty much this. These boxes aren't designed with us hobbyist that are already in the hobby, it's meant to snag a few newbies that don't have access to a regular FLGS or warhammer store. With these sent to all Targets/B&N they could sit for months with no interest to buy from the general public. So why make a ton when you can make say a dozen for each store (which is still a lot overall) and see if you get any bites. Granted in this day and age, they won't last long as we veteran hobbyist will hunt them to extinction in due time.

crimsondave Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I talked to CS at Target. There are 3 Target stores in my area and 1 Barnes & Noble. Between the 4 stores there were a total of 4 copies between them. I really don’t understand why they bothered with it.

lhg033 Posted Tuesday at 10:40 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:40 AM Game in the UK briefly had some of the space marine adventures stuff when this was first introduced so I will be keeping an eye out online for this. It'd be nice if it does make its way but I wont be holding my breath. Last time they had the core boxes but only a few and they never had the supplements that had the extra models.

Uprising Posted Tuesday at 02:51 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:51 PM The item just went out of stock on barnes and noble about 5 mins ago at time of posting.

jaxom Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago I don’t remember seeing this mentioned, the box comes with data slates for Bllod Raven Chaplian and Judiciar special characters. They each get one extra rule. The Chaplain and his unit can fall back and charge, and the Judiciar and his unit can move 6” when consolidating.

Orange Knight Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Objectively speaking this boxset is a fantastic deal because it's significantly cheaper than simply buying the models included. But of course, one has to be Technoarcheologist from the Adeptus Mechanicus to uncover where the set can be obtained. 10 hours ago, jaxom said: I don’t remember seeing this mentioned, the box comes with data slates for Bllod Raven Chaplian and Judiciar special characters.

Halandaar Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Apparently the German version (Dawn of War: Der Kampf Geht Weiter) has a release date of 1st September although that's anecdotal, can't find a listing on a German store with a date on it. It's much more financially viable for UK buyers if all you're after is the models - I got the last Combat Arena one (the one with the Ambull) for about 35 Euros including shipping to the UK.
