warmaster blisters no longer available?

[adamwest]

Hi all
over on taccoms they are talking about some of the epic blisters saying they are no longer available on gw website. I noticed that a lot off the Warmaster blisters are saying the same however a couple are saying they are available to dispatch in 1-4 weeks? Does anybody know what's going on?
Thanks in advance!

On what site (GB, US, Germany...?) and which blisters? I couldnt find any missing (checked like 10 random ones). The only missing are black orcs and the bone giant, but for some reason they were missing for like 1 year already.

EDIT: Actually, some stuff, like clan rats is no longer available....

GB website. There is at least a couple missing from every army apart from the brettonians I think!

Epic, BFG, WM, and probably rest of SG ranges are not being replaced as they run out. Get in quick if you want something.

That sucks I just bought loads of of eBay! Looks like ill be selling them unless I can find alternative sculpts......! I emailed games workshop but they never replied!
Thanks for the answers anyhow

I've just looked at the UK GW website and you're right. Several blisters from different ranges have vanished.
Looks like this is finally the end for warmaster (as far as GW is involved anyway).

Let the run begin - grab those units while you can! I've just stocked up on bits and bobs for my skaven and on skeleton spearmen!

Just realised... I've just placed what is likely to be my last ever order off GW now, after 30 years of being a customer. It's a shame really.....

Looks like I missed my chance to get a Skaven army for less than ££££££.  I am crushed. =-<

Everyone ready for the toy soldiers they want to be £30 a unit?

Based on the telephone conversation Steve had with GW customer services, it's all over for GW's specialist games range (see this thread for the discussion), so if you want anything, not just Warmaster products, now is the time to grab it.

It is a shame, and I'm disappointed, but there is nothing surprising about this move.

Only 100% available army is High Elves it seems.  Araby looks to get a beating too.  I've never had the spare cash to *justify* buying direct, really.  I did hazard money on a small Epic Space Marine army 2 years ago but the castings were so poor I said I wouldn't buy full price if I could help it.

It might be all right for you golden oldies who have 10 armies laid down but it's a kick in the teeth to newbies who don't want to pay top dollar on ebay.

All of the Specialist Games have items missing on the UK site now.  Time to start praying Forgeworld can be persuaded to pick them up.

[David Wasilewski]

According to all the chatter I've been reading - it isn't going to happen. When this stuff is gone, it is going to be gone forever (except for e bay).

Of course there are alternative manufacturors that you can use for proxies for most systems, so the hobby is by no means dead.

After several years that's a good reason to finally buy some warmaster vampire counts. I just ordered 2k.

[lordgoober]

forgeworld has apparently confirmed that they've killed their SG lines as well.

So guys, how many K did you recently spend in GW's online store?

[David Wasilewski]

I've spent a couple of hundred pounds finishing off the large skaven and the tomb kings armies I've been gradually collecting. I already have enough Orcs, Chaos, Empire and Araby!

I did toy with the idea of getting a large Vampire Counts army (4K) but then realised what it would cost to buy all in one go and also the fact that they'd probably run out of certain blisters half way through the order, leaving me with an unbalanced army and no real means to complete it!
