I went to my local LGS and thankfully was able to get what I wanted. minus the LE codex, I do want that but I think only GW sells and probably not until day light. I snapped, 1 codex, 1 new white dwarf   1 box steel jacks. (I almost did not get them as they were sold out and then someone mus have returned them or something.  2 paints that I needed and the Evaluator. 

 

very tempted to go back and see if I can get more steel jacks. we'll see that was a lot.

I will probably get the codex for a discount on eBay whenever possible, for the lore.

 

For the minis, I tend to only get stuff when it comes time to build it, so for me there will be no purchases until later this year at the earliest. Keeping too many boxes around stresses me out and I already have a bunch of Kroot looking at me accusingly. In my defense they are the old sculpts that I picked up in bulk when the new kit replaced them. :laugh:

 

Which new kits were the most popular? Any kits selling out faster in your area?

Financials keep me from getting anything ATM, but I think my luck may be turning around soon. As is, I am working on getting one box of each datasheet painted, and once wave one is up to that goal, I'll hopefully be in a position where I can buy one box at a time and paint them up and not get a big army of unpainted models again.

Preorder 2 capri sun, 2 boxes of steel jack, codex and a Memnyr. Buri was sold out, Artillery kind of sucks, Arkanist and the rest will probably have models to print soon enough. 

 

Hearthguard took a beating but they were sold out, oddly enough...

I went a little too hard on the preorders, I usually only buy the models as I need them. But I ended up with the collectors codex, 3 boxes of earthshakers, 2 boxes of Steeljacks, an Arkanyst, Buri... 

 

I'll get the other models when I get this set finished. I just love those earthshakers so much

so I got an email yesterday that the mortar guys were back in stock. So I went over to the site and bought 2 of them and Buri. I probably shouldn't have bought him but I've been seeing people complain he is sold out in a lot of places. and I know he's almost an auto take most of the time right now. 

 

so my total orders which was way too much:

1 steeljacks - wish it were 2 or 3

1 Mimnyr

1 Evaluator

1 normal codex - I couldn't get the LE one. this does make me sad.

2 mortar guys - so 4 in total. - these might not be good, I don't know. but they were sold out the first time so when they came back I wanted to have 2 extra. 

1 Buri

 

Non kin stuff. I did add a few other things while I was shopping.

I am going to be in the hospital for at least a week if not a little longer later this month into next. so...

I bought a white dwarf. I'll probably buy or order another one before I go in. just something to flip and read through like the codex to pass the time.

 

1 white dwarf

2 brush on primer paints.  - trying these out.

think that was it.

 

 

 

Went to check out the prices for the new stuff... Holy moly! Guess that is what happens when I spend a lot of time working with 3D printed stuff. GW sticker shock all over again. Although judging by how much is sold out, people must not mind that much. :laugh:

A good deal of people are not on the printer train yet, though it is getting more and more. Various reasons for this, but until that happens they will pay what they have to pay I guess.

I do think GW has been and does take advantage of it's customer base at times when they don't need to. Everyone needs to make profit and make shareholders happy. But there are times where this is true and they still raise prices. it is what it is sadly.

I still have too much to paint, so I decided to hold out for a Christmas Battleforce... though if I get through enough of my Pile Of Shame I may allow myself a little something.

 

I just grabbed the standard codex and, yes, the overpriced dice - look they were in GTL green, I couldn't resist.

Those dice are beautiful, I am 100% going to end up with a set

As wrote in the News and Rumours thread, I was in for a Codex, Steeljacks and Kapricus (plus 2 Necromunda Orrus for converting a Steeljack and Buri), only to have the Steeljacks ripped from the order when they sold out here in Canada. I was on the site at the right time, but just in updating my payment information I missed the chromedomes. It was a buzzkill, but I'm mostly over it.

 

So I've spent nothing yet, although I noticed that the transaction and refund even appeared on my credit statement, so at least I know it'll show up on GW's reporting as a lost sale. Local reseller will hopefully be able to hook me up soon after launch but I'm not ordering through GW if they don't have what I want. I'm cutting corners and using Thallax as Steeljacks anyway, so if I can get a box of the real ones by the time I paint up those 6, that'll be okay. 

 

Pretty stoked for the new rules, though! 

 

Cheers,

 

The Good Doctor.

Let's pretend there isn't a Christmas battleforce. What do you buy come Christmas?

man that stinks, I am sorry that happened to you. I would be very upset. I am also in Canada, managed to get one. But from what I hear LGS were under supplied. which doesn't surprise me if true. best of luck getting those jacks

I put a pretty big order in. I’ve been waiting for this and had budgeted. 
 

  • CE Codex
  • 2x Dice
  • Bubu the Bug-Smasher
  • Memnyr
  • Arkanyst
  • 3x Steeljacks
  • 3x Kapricus
  • 1x Earthshakers

I’m so excited to paint these. 

Beserks are now on meh tier. 100 points for 5 wounds is rough. Steeljacks with melee weapons are better now... 

 

We won't see 12 bikes anymore as well. 2x3 if we are lucky. 

 

Uthar is auto include... 

 

No more 3 or 4 Sagis... 1 or 2 will be enough..

 

Still viable army but it's going to be different.

Wondering if thats significant or not?

 

We had a pretty good win rate prior to the codex so I'm not super surprised we had some nerfs. I'm excited for some of the changes, like Delve Assault I'm definitely going to bring a ton of berseks and deep strike them everywhere, but I probably won't take many of them in other detachments. I'm excited for Brandfast too. The Hearthguard nerf is probably the worst one we got.

 

They're going to be fun I think, rewarding an offensive playstyle.

because I bought 2 boxes of mortar teams. I am looking at running Persecution detachment. 

Uthar is mandatory you think?

 

Looks like Persecution provides the pinning that people wanted on the Earthshakers in the first place. If I cared for the Hernkyn I'd probably look into that detachment but the bikes and Yaegirs just don't do it for me. I did buy 3 boxes of the Earthshakers, so I'll be bringing them no matter what detachment I end up running, to hell with their stat line those are the best-looking models in the range.

I'll be honest, I never brought Uthar before nor did I really look into using him. CP reduction is real nice, I'll wait to see what he costs before I start working him into my lists
