Valkyrion Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Oh, what about different Toughness values within the target unit? Where does that fit in? I presume it's still majority rules, but I couldn't see it.

Off the top of my head I can’t think of units with mixed T just on the dataslate that aren’t Leader models.

I'm planning to do the same for the Armageddon box. The bases are Warboss Green with GW flock on top. No idea what I am going to do when my supply runs out as I don't think that they make it anymore.

I suspect it is just cheap model railway flock rebadged. There are many alternatives out there (the Woodland Scenics range is excellent), it is only a problem if I want to try and maintain a match with my existing bases. 01RTB01 and Verbal Underbelly 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387719-new-warhammer-40000-edition-announced/page/44/#findComment-6173909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard it was literally just Woodland Scenics flock repackaged, so hopefully you should be able to find a match (assuming WS hasn't also changed it's recipe in the last few decades...)

nodnol88 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Just a comment on the Studio videos they’ve done this week. I think it’s quite refreshing to be honest. Given the past few years where they’ve been really hesitant to expose staff and some of the internal machinations, it’s good to see an openness from them. You might not like what they say or disagree with their stance, but it’s a good direction of travel for community engagement. I found it interesting that plenty of the guest staffers refer to it as 11th Edition, but all the marketing is “the NEW edition”. Just something I noticed. I’ve seen a few people commenting on them referencing the “customers” as if it’s a bad thing. I think actually, for any large company, for them to consider the end user, however they refer to them, is a good thing. There’s shade thrown at GW for satisfying the shareholders but actually, the product has to be designed with the customer in mind. It’s important they don’t forget that. I think some of the disconnect comes from the fact that the vast majority of GW’s marketing and focus is primarily not the same segment of their customer base that posts on forums like this. I suspect the 3 year cycle is a direct consequence of the average customer retention period, for instance. I’m seeing more positivity on the eve of this edition than the last, so happy wargaming everyone, however you do it.

WS use ground up foam. GW used coloured saw dust I think.

happyslugger Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 My local independent store got 30 copies having been promised more. Luckily I've used them for years and know them well. I have my box set already but not had chance to open it yet. I only want the marine side so will be moving the Orks on.

Hrvat Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Is anyone else bothered that Armageddon got moved out of the Segmentum Solar on the latest map? I could understand a couple of pixels like it tends to happen from edition to edition, but this latest shift is several thousand light-years to the "east".

Craig Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Tried ordering from Wayland Games but the site was constantly crashing so ordered from Athena Games instead and seems I was successful.

There's a few this has happened to, though from what I can see but as bad as the custodes battle group where some stores got zero. My local independent was allocated 10, with a promise of being able to order more (unsure if they will get all 10) and midfield was given 30 with 95% commitment to get another 45 but they were stiffed on the extra 45 - they might get them after GW sees what direct demand is. Not great for small stores.

Blindhamster Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 i managed an order on goblin gaming, as did two of my friends. Looks like most third parties are sold out already with ebay being chocka as always. I did sit in the warhammer queue as well, when i eventually got into the website, no amount of refreshing would make the pre orders page load :D eventually my slot timed out lol. So glad I'd ordered elsewhere. (I was going to maybe order the book and other small bits direct) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387719-new-warhammer-40000-edition-announced/page/44/#findComment-6173980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramell Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) I had no problems getting through the queue on the GW site, but it seems like the order isn't going through. Hopefully just the back end being slow. But it looks like there's still sets in stock, so maybe they did really make a huge amount this time.

Frogian Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 darksphere and wayland still seem to have some in stock, and i've found a few off my list of smaller places with online stores that still have them. though the places with active counters has them going down quite quick (i ordered a 2nd online from somewhere that was at 90+ at 10.35 and is now at 44 - no idea how many they had in originally though) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387719-new-warhammer-40000-edition-announced/page/44/#findComment-6173986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
