So... the new Shadow War game is marked as 'while stocks last' on the NZ site.

So... the new Shadow War game is marked as 'while stocks last' on the NZ site.

And only 1 for person  But the rules for the different factions are already here. 60 pages of them:

Yeah and for free!
Well except for buying the minis.

at 60 pages with full layout and (recycled) images they could have sold that as a small book, or even a pdf. Kudos to them for publishing it like this!

Available while stock last and sold out on the english site as well.
Wut?
Well, I guess GW isn't getting any of my money anyway.

The PDF looked okay. Would've been a reason to finally put a brush to my lovely harlequin models.

Well, plenty of projects laying around anyway.

Or is this an april 1st joke?

It sold out in a few minutes flat. Was going to buy it, had some Harlequins on order too to use with it.

I've cancelled that order now and asked for a refund. Well done GW. A masterpiece of new product release strategy.

[Major_Gilbear]

Wow, "whilst stocks last!", and it's already sold out on pre-order. 

Oh well, I'm sure somebody else will want my money, eh? 

[Momotaro]

I think it's just the pre-order stock that has sold out.  it will be back soon

Kind of mystified why they're not selling the rulebook as a standalone, or in digital format.  Or indeed incorporating the bonus PDF into the actual rulebook, since they were obviously developed at the same time.  GW has sorely needed an intro game for 40k for a long time, and this looks like it.  Buy the book, buy a box of plastics, off you go!

My guess is that it's some kind of stopgap before Age of The Emprah, sorry 40k 8th Ed, comes out.

[beefcake]

Yeah, puff of the book would be great.

I wonder how limited this will be though.

When they do that, like with the Sisters of Battle canoness, they put an "email me" button so you can get an email next time it comes back in stock and gets sold out in 5 minutes.

So this looks like it won't come back in stock, unless they've suddenly changed how they operate.

Nope.

The Canoness is available for order right now... and for quite some time.

So if you don't want to fight over the first product runs, you just wait and it will eventually be generally available for sale.

I know it is. That's exactly my point. When that went out of stock, the status didn't change to "no longer available" it changed to an "email me when it comes back into stock" status.

This game has gone to "no longer available", which is what GW usually do when they are not going to get new stocks of something. Like, say, the winter-themed Bloodbowl boards.

At least it is (was) £10 cheaper than what was listed in White Dwarf. Hopefully the individual scenery sets will also be cheaper. They were listed as £30/£30/£45 so a lot more cash for one extra scenery sprue and no figures or game. To be honest, I'd rather buy the scenery individually over a period of time, than splash out on the big box, so if they are cheaper that would be good.
