Anyone know how often "temporarily out of stock" webstore stuff gets restocked?

I've got some Skaven dudes I want to buy.

About a fortnight or so. What did you have your mind on?

An Arch Warlock and Jezzails, though I don't expect Jezzails to show back up. TBH I hate the way Jezzails look and think they cost too much so I may try baby's first kitbash to get those.

With FW it's a bit weird, as they'll slap the No Longer Available sticker onto products that are just getting a mould fixed or some new gating. They generally announce when they're discontinuing something nowerdays.

drat the Arch Warlock is a character they've apparently properly discontinued (Ikit Claw) and I can only find it on one website for $60. :negative:

Only Jezzail listing I see on ebay is really old models, which are ugly and have their novelty, but look like good value even with shipping from Europe. Still think I want to try my hand and making better looking ones.

Hilarious and silly in a good way. There's always been a spot for kooky and over the topness in both Warhammer and 40K. The Night Goblins were always quite silly with their catapult launchers and squigs and whatnot. Plus they're nicely detailed models with a lot of love. It's up there with the Ironjaws in terms of being a great model range. So much better than the Fyreslayers.

It can be both. Sure they're overly designed with a bunch of bits and bobs that are going to make them a massive pain in the rear end to paint in numbers, but they do also have a bit of charm to them that other AoS models lack. Even though they're all wearing masks, the masks are individualized rather than just being the same bland expression again and again.

I'm going to say that if these were models for a brand new game from a brand new company people would be saying, "Wow these are pretty cool (for a company with no past experience)!" But given that they carry a ton of baggage from GW and Warhammer Fantasy and AoS, it's easy to not be impressed by them.

For myself, I'm going to say they're just OK but hardly the worst things GW has done. I'd never spend money on them though.

AoS is an awful piece of poo poo both on gameplay and lore levels

I'd rather watch paint dry than try to play it again, nobody should play this rear end piece of crap game

I would maybe buy one of those dorks off ebay for another game or something though

My issue with the balloons is that they convey very pastoral and slow movement. They are as threatening as Baron Harkonnen when be floats and bounces around, not very.
