Sadly,  they stopped :( There seem to be some blister that can still can be bought. When you add those "still available" blisters to your cart, they are marked as "will be dispatched in 4 weeks". This could mean that they are (since GW will unlikely cast new ones) actually not longer available, even though they are still listed in the online shop. I guess GW is just too lazy/incompetent to update their shop.

it may be a final sort of thing, they get orders for everything, do one final batch of casting, then remove it all from the website, helps stop the dribs-and-drabs ordering from dragging it out...

shame really, I was going to order a few final bits on payday.....

I might just be making this up, but full the product list page often seems to be more accurate than the individual army areas with regards to offering you stuff you can actually buy.

For what it's worth my experience of just having made a large order of Warmaster Vampire Counts was a positive one. It all arrived, even though I wanted 8 or even 12 blister packs of certain unit types. I was reassured by the GW employee that whatever I ordered, as long as it was marked still available on the website, I would get the number I ordered as they would cast up more to fulfill the order? I was sceptical and said that was not my understanding of the state of things. They were true to their word and no units were missing due to no stock. 

Could be worth a try, as long as you're after an army that has enough units left to choose from to make it worthwhile. E bay and other country's GW web sites are also an option to fill in gaps. Then again, you can get what you want from other manufacturors for many of the Warmaster armies. I got my ethereals from Kalistra!

I've had roughly the same experience-- I'm not happy that they cancelled the line, but they do seem to be fulfilling all their orders and things are winding down quite smoothly in my experience.
