Also thanks for your encouraging words about KO a while back JBP, I now have a flourishing force that's nearing completion. Were an absolute treat to build and paint and play with!

Awesome! They're super weird in the context of AOS but annihilating someone's favourite beat stick unit or monster in a hail of gunfire just never gets old.

Logged on around 7am and placed a pre order for dominion, no queue. :v: it did say delivery before 7/3 so we’ll see if that happens.

Just pre-ordered through my FLGS with an extra discount... and so, the waiting begins.

In the end I just couldnt resist the Kruleboyz, plus I like Ironjawz already so an eventual Big Waaagh army is very tantalizing

US doesn't appear to have access to the queue or Dominion yet. Supposed to go up at 10 PST, so around 1 PM EST.

Discount Games Inc has their preorders up, though the date is listed as 12/00/21 so who knows when it will actually ship. But it's $170 and free shipping so hard to beat, and they are reliable and trustworthy.

I emailed Jay last night. They actually have a couple tiers. You can pay full msrp and get it a couple weeks, but if you want to get the standard 15% discount, you’re probably getting it in fall/winter. There was another 5% tier in August as well.

Btw, whoever mentioned them in the last thread, thanks! They’re super great to deal with. I got both cursed city and be’lakor through them.

The GW site has a message up saying the store will reopen soon and mentions the queue system.

Wonder if it will redirect automatically, or I have to keep mashing F5

still able to get everything at 12pm pst here. looks like they werent lying about having lots of stock. this aint no cursed city lol

edit: lmao naturally everyone with ten piles of unpainted models and nobody to play with are declaring this as proof that games workshop is dead dead dead because it didn't get insta-gobbled up by scalpers and flipped on ebay for six times the price. it's either fake fomo scarcity bullshit and also GW is incompetent and also its all a hoax for the shareholders and they HATE their fans and gw is going woke and broke or its nobody wants the game because it didn't instantly sell out in twelve hours and GW has been lying to their investors these last few years and GW is going woke and broke.

Watching people read the entrails is half the fun of being a part of the hobby's online presence (the other half is looking at all the wonderfully painted models). Just massive, completely normal brains deriving byzantine conspiracy theories from almost zero actual facts lol. The culture war poo poo just adds an another crazy layer to it.

In any case I'm glad people are getting their Dominion boxes if only because scrolling past the outcry everywhere would have been tiresome.

I'm excited to get mine and have been thinking hard about how I want to paint my Kruleboyz.

It's just a function of AoS not being as popular as 40k probably, a friend who handles some orders said they got fewer pre-orders than they thought, but it was still pretty decent. This is one of those no-win arguments where either GW is dead because they can't meet demand, or they're dead because they are able to meet demand and there's surplus boxes floating around.

Oh, I don't care. I'll be painting the boxed set with my girlfriend come July 3, she drew a KB and a SCE, photocopied them and has been sending me pictures of various color schemes. She's so excited to paint Yndrasta, End of the day 90% of discussion on neckbeard sites means literally nothing, the four AoS players I know IRL are more interested in the narrative play stuff than the actual competitive stuff. I'm 100% sure all the people going "I'M REBASING ALL OF MY MINIS AND MOVING TO KINGS OF WAR GW WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME" are most mocking the attitude from the one guy refreshing this thread and spamming 4chan.

And I mean, Gorkamorka was a great game (that flopped) and who cares? If AoS dies tomorrow I've still discovered how enjoyable and good the miniatures wargaming hobby can be, and there's a lot of options outside of GW for me. I ain't married to one company! :)

You look tired. Maybe you should stop posting.
drat if there's plenty of stock for dominion that actually makes it really tempting to get. But as much as I love the models I have no idea what I would do with them, I'm not planning to run a Stormcast or Orrruks army.

btw I don't know exactly when I'm getting the box from the lgs but I would be down to trade my stormcast half for another kruleboyz half, feel free to message me if interested and we can work it out

Oh I completely missed that there were 3 versions on the site, their site design does kinda suck. Not that it matters, I have 8 trillion unpainted models already this is just adding to the list, I'll be ok having it show up in several months.

For anyone else on discountgamesinc, the full retail fast shipping one is sold out but the 3% discount for august and the 15% discount for winter are still available.

I got my first game of third in with some of the units from Dominion proxied in and good lord those new crossbow orcs are not okay lol. There's basically no reason to ever use their single shot profile because all you're doing is fishing for mortals on 5+ to hit (with the shaman). Orcs are an elite shooting army now, easily lol. Nothing I had could withstand it.

I'm just imagining sitting on an objective with those and a shaman who summoned shackles in front of them and is feeding them poisons to help with mortal fishing

I thought the Single shot profile did more damage which in turn means more mortal wounds.

edit checked same damage though aimed shot can be useful if farther away due to the extra range.
