Knights Panther and Blazing Sun available?
« on: August 18, 2010, 03:27:37 PM »
I've just spotted that if you click on the Empire Knights picture on the GWUK website the 'related products' brings up pictures of the Knights Panther and the Knights of the Blazing Sun. One shows as unavailable, the other as in stock. I've ordered a couple of packs to see what happens.

Hmm ....could be the same as for the Goblins.

The Pic shows the Goblin Archers but actually you get the Standard ones when ordering them (what I got told)

Sorry, my english is not good enough to determine if you bought those gobelins on the gw site and they where archers indeed or if they were not ? Do you council us to try to buy those empire knights ?

Could someone please give a link to those gobelin archers ? :)

Here are the goblin archers from the GWUK webstore:
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat490080a&prodId=prod1130190

From what others are saying I think that if you order them you end up with the 'normal' non-archer models. If the Knights I've ordered turn out to be wrong I'll be sending them back but I'm hoping they'll be what I want! They've got their own picture and product code and show as available but I won't be hugely surprised if there's a problem with the order.

I'm not sure, all I know is that I hadn't seen them on the store until yesterday. Perhaps because they only appear as a 'related product' when you select the 'normal' knights. Either way I'm happy, I haven't got them and I like variety in my toys!

I ordered them off the US site. The order page looked a little weird but sure enough a blister shipped marked Knights of the Blazing Sun. I'm pretty sure these are the correct minis.

If anyone can see any other units that are on the site but not in the menus please post it!

Both Knights Panther and Knights of the Blazing Sun claimd to be available on the Oz website. I ordered them and also some dwarfs at the same time. Dwarfs arrived, nothing else... invoice claims I haven't been charged for the knights and I recieved free postage when I otherwise shouldn't have... Still, it's a disappointment.

My order for Knights Panther shows as shipped, I won't know exactly what's been shipped until I return from holiday...

Finally I've picked these up and the good news is that they are what I ordered. Knights Panther seem to be available but very very well hidden on the UK GW online store.

The site has been redesigned again, and now I can't find them...
It's amusing that GW clearly doesn't WANT to sell models... I don't suppose you happened to pick up enough to want to sell some, pw?

The product code for them is: 99061202023, oddly they don't show up now even if you search by that number. Perhaps a call to GW might unearth some?

As for selling, sorry no. I only picked up two packs. I'd trade one for some White wolves or Blazing Suns though!
