Seems GW wants turn "last chance to buy" into "any chance to buy" by allowing people to order OOP models.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/704546.page
More details on October 15th.
[EDIT]:
Oh ye of little faith!
(from GW Salisbury on Facebook)
I went and checked your sources, and yep, you're right!

I'm really interested to see where this goes.
-
This would only be interesting if they sold old metal miniatures at the old prices (from 2008 for example, before they discontinued all of the 90's miniatures). But what are the chances that this will be the case.
-
Indeed, I would like to be able to buy some olders models, but if it means paying 30€ or more for a single human size character or similar abusive prices, i'm not sure I would buy even one.

I'll sell you them at 29e :engel:
..... and you could save on postage if you nipped across the border into Belgium and came to the Eurobash next spring.
-
If that is true, then I'm in heaven. I've been hunting for the 90's Storm Trooper Sergeant with a Plasma pistol for some time now... :dry:
-
I'd be surprised if they went that far back but I'm first in line for Khalida ;)

The old style with the beret, or the last one with the helmet, before they started calling them Kasrkin :icon_question:

As en Empire player, you know what I would like ? The old 6th edition plastic state troops sprues, they had their flaws but where better overall than the new ones, while still combining well with them (and they also combine well with the militia sprue).
Sure, I can also buy plastics from the Perries for cheaper, but to buff some of my state troop units I wouldn't be against buying a few more boxes of those older plastics, provided of course that the price is not too extreme ...
-
Surely there is a jest there! GW not have extreme prices? That'll be the day. :icon_wink: :icon_lol:
-
I've heard rumours of everything they've ever made included. I find that very hard to believe. I suspect this will be limited to the Brets and TK stuff, with a "This Week we are doing a limited run of these X products" and they'll cycle them occasionally. Or they'll have a register for interest on a kit, and once it hits a certain number they do a production run.
I approve of making OOP stuff available again, especially if it includes much older stuff, including the specialist games ranges, but I can't see in my head how they can make it viable without a lot of restrictions, or a long waiting time.
If it covers they entire back catalogue, I can only guess that's what will go on sale first: A catalogue.
I'm speculating, but do they have all the old moulds, or will it be limited to CAD designed stuff that can be 3D printed, or just stuff that was in Finecast or metal, though hopefully they make it from FW Resin rather than finecast.
I'm intrigued, but it depends on what will be available, in what material, and what price before I get excited about it.
-
The only thing I've seen from an actual GW source (above) specifically mentions the recent "Last Chance" section of online store. That seems to indicate a fairly recent and limited range of figures. I think everything else is wild and hopeful speculation at this point. As with any GW rumors, I'll believe it when I see it.
-
I hope this is a start to get back at catalogues and mail order that existed during 6th edition where you could order even single metal bits like sixty Karl Franz heads . :biggriin:
And I hope the WHFB miniatures will have the square bases , i don't want to see old glories adapted for age of leeches.

Agreed on all counts. :-)

That's what I meant about the beret - I don't have him though I have added to the ones I have with greenstuff berets.
(http://kofler.dot.at/40k/units/Imperial_Guard_Storm_Trooper_Sergeant.gif)
I have some of these - but I think they were plentiful anyway.
-
On topic - this 'offer' will purely be their way of getting rid of excess stock, and/or getting some value back on still healthy moulds where they can.
I bet some of us will have more old "bits" in our boxes than they will offer.
We do have the regional bits swap section still in the CT of course.

Well at least the Bloodreavers are 5 for $15, which is certainly better than the Stormcast crud at 3 for $15.
-
One thing to bear in mind re prices - GW aren't going to be competing with their own old prices with this, they're going to be competing against the ebay scalpers who do nothing except drive up the cost of OOP models without adding value. Even if all we get are plastic kits and a few Finecast characters that were on LCTB over the past year and GW charge a premium over the original price, that's still better than the alternative which is paying some greedy git multiple times the original sticker price.
If they go further and actually set up a proper back catalogue with a predictable way of ordering from it, this could be very cool. Again, not an ideal option, for instance I'd rather see them give us a proper range of SoB in plastic and bring back the WHF setting than let us buy the whole old SoB range in metal/FC and pick up a few plastic Brets, but I'll take what I can get.
My own personal wildly-optimistic longshot hope is that this includes the WHFB scenery kits, it'd be nice to pick up Witchfate Tor and Skullvane Manse for less than £100-150+ each.
-
I always thought that GW should have created a small subsidiary company that focuses on casting and selling old (OOP) metal miniatures on demand. As long as the molds are still okay, why not make money from them. If small companies like Foundry can somehow survive by (amongst other things) casting and selling old (pre-slotta) GW models and old Perry sculpted miniatures from 25 years ago, then a GW subsidiary selling old Warhammer miniatures should do fine for some years.
But then again, this is GW and even if they decided to offer some of the old metal miniatures again, they would probably do so following their current price strategy and no one in his right mind would buy any. :roll:
-
Teutogen guard. I wish I had bought a bunch of these dudes when they came out. I would like these to be recast.

Yeah and other SoC minis. I'd love to see Makaisson's Hewer and Doomseekers, returning to the market.

Just a guess, but maybe fear of cutting into sales of newer models?
-
I forgot about them being so wrapped up in empire.

Funny how many of us on Empire Forums love the old metal models but most people in the hobby would rather throw metal models in the garbage.
-

I think by now the target customer for AOS plastic models is very different from the people who are interested in (old) metal miniatures. But that has probably not really occured to GW yet. Or they simply don't see enough profit potential in this.
-
For quite some time, they seem to be working on a vision for the company and its products that is entirely independent of the actual market that has been supporting them. So who knows...

Not as awesome as I thought...

Haha, that's a good rib-tickler. If only Nagash realized that Sigmar was badder to the bone than him.
Funfact: In AoS Nagash is actually the last of Sigmar's allies to abandon him but still attacks him anyway, I suppose his loyalty was always bare-bones. :icon_lol:

Are these going to be metal, do you think?
-
No word on that yet, only additional info is from oldhammer that they'll be available to order on Saturday.

Excellent! Need the Valhallen coms dude. To bad no regular troops. Probably 1 or 2. Mor squads would be perfect.

Omg! Autocorrect does wonderous stuff and not previewing doesn't help either!!

So - only 40K - what a surprise :closed-eyes:
So - got all those already :engel:
The problem as I recall ( I haven't looked at 40K seriously for years ) was that each of those IG variants did not have the Plasma gun.
Tallarns had the sergeant with a plasma pistol, and I think a Plasma gun figure surfaced years later but may have been a 'rogue'.
I also recall that the Mordian Mortar became OOP early as the mould 'died' - and I notice they are not on this list.
What price my Pretorians now.
-
I think 40k models was pretty obvious, more popular and appealing to a large fanbase.
It's only the first ones though, we'll have to see if fantasy models pop up down the road.
That said, pretty tempted by Mordian troops. They're one of my three favorite guardsmen along with Cadians and Vostroyans.
-
Wait I get it !
In a video they have mentionned plastic sister of battle, and many are thinking that it was just a big troll and not a true information.
Big troll + Made to order = They're brigging back the Troll King model at 50€ in glorious FineCast(tm) :D

Always pressing, always searching the minimum slit to take even the last pence to the gamers... :icon_mad: I was thinking on buying some Valhalla troops but I need more than 48 to think about it. I don't like pressure
-
I can understand why they would do it that way; they need to start fulfilling orders quickly so they can be delivered. But if there is a long period of ordering, it might be hard to know how many of each to make.
-
Agreed.
They also said that the more that is ordered the longer they'll keep the orders available.
-
If it's only for 48 hours to pre-order, does that imply there will be another set of stuff next week?
Sent from my thingamajig via wadyamacallit
-
I imagine " the first wave" implies that as well. :smile2:
Not sure the next orders will come up so quick as next week, though.
-
Cash. Grab.
-
Maybe not an ideal way to do it, but generally speaking, it seems like everyone wins (except maybe recasters and people listing insane prices on eBay.) Customers looking for oop figures get a second chance, and GW gets to make a profit on otherwise "dead" products. I doubt it's feasible for them to keep their entire back catalog as always available, do this seems like a "safe" way for them to make old minis available.
-
Feels like falsifying demand with a manufactured timeframe to boost sales. Their bits store online used to be one of their best features.

Sure, but the logistics & labor are probably a liability that a public corp. doesn't care about sustaining. This seems like a compromise.
Besides, there will be plenty of speculators "investing" in these figures and pumping them into the secondary market well after the initial sale. :wink:
-

I hope that the second wave will be much more interesting. Most of these figurines are available in Poland for a very low price and in great numbers. Nothing cool for me here.
-
Here's hoping, friend. :::cheers:::
New Zealand site just got it's orders. I believe they're metal as well.

The positives: Metal miniatures (!) and rather moderate prices for GW standards.
The negatives: Only 40.000 miniatures so far and a very short time frame to order - this reminds me of tele-shopping: "LIMITED OFFER ... CALL NOW BEFORE IT'S ALL GONE!! THE CLOCK IS TICKING!!" Except you don't get anything "FOR FREE!!" from GW if you "ORDER NOW!!".
I hope they will offer Empire/Bretonnian/DoW/Mordheim models at some point.
-
It's finally up and available in my area, and I have to say, I'm not horrified by the prices. I was expecting far higher. 10 metal Kasrins for $50? I thought it would end up being closer to 100.
-
Wait, they really are metal and not finecast or something similar ?
I remember that GW was supposed to have sold all their metal casting stuff after swtiching to finecast, so if this is true, then it means that they eitheir changed opinion and are again able to produce metal models, or they use a subcontractor

Latest WikiLeak : Xathrodox86 has three souls.
Everything I have seen suggests the models are metal - including the webpages wherein they are ordered, which states metal (at least for the models I checked). I suspect this is because it is pretty easy to spin the molds (pun intended) back up.
-
Hoping we'll see some SM and Fantasy stuff. And hopefully not the stuff I already have(highly likely sadly :(((). I'm thinking about getting Lord Solar Macharius in this one even though I dont collect IG though.
-
That 48 hours thing. Meh, turns me off even trying to buy.
What will happen is that I'll save my money for an old OOP model that I hope they post up. But then they end up never posting it or I happen to be busy those 2 days miss the window.
Such a bad marketing scheme. They seriously can't leave it up for a week?
And you know what. If I miss the 2 day window I can just check ebay and chances are there is a model for sale at 2/3rd GW's listed price because the seller panicked and listed it cheap because it was no longer an OOP model. lol.
I can't wait for Teutogen Guard to go up for sale on GW website. ....watch the ebay prices plunge!!! lol.

Not too fussed about 48h, keeps the models rare still but if you really want them you can get them. Which is fine imo. I'm a bit scared some of my rarer models will go on there since I kinda price them high and that would make me throw them out of the window in fury lol. Mainly because the only reason I use them is rarity. The positive thing is I will get some fun and nice work converting up cool Captains and leaders with varius bitz from different sets etc instead.

Also, to those wanting fantasy models, put on your knee-pads and start begging lads.
Got this reply when I asked about specialist games and old Fantasy stuff.
Thanks for the email.
At the moment the made to order service is being tested, so I am afraid I don't have any information on what (if anything) would be next up. I will pass your email along though to make sure interest in more miniatures like this is registered with the people making the decisions.
I am sorry that I cannot be of more help in this instance but if you have any other questions, please let me know.
Kind regards

Too bad they threw their old metal moulds on the heap. I might have been interested otherwise.

Should this be moved to the 40k section until they begin releasing fantasy models?
Due to the massive popularity of 40k it's probably going to be a long time before they take a look through their metal molds for the fantasy stuff.

Due to the massive popularity of 40k it's probably going to be a long time before they take a look through their metal molds for the fantasy stuff.
Its the end of the year sales so they will be sticking mostly to 40k to get some sales for the financial report and stock price.
Honestly I'm trying to think of what else in 40k is old an could be good for made to order. Alot of that chaos marine and space marine stuff used to be metal but then they redid them in plastic, typically with the same or similar aesthetic.
And another note - they didn't have the old Cadian Troops in this made to order round. I would have bought a squad of those.
-
Old 40k stuff at least fits within the 40k universe as the fame currently stands (or can at least be rationalized.) Old fantasy stuff doesn't. I don't really expect to see you too much to grt excited about from fantasy. Besides, even when they had some old-ish like the DOW stuff, it was overpriced. Also, I don't really expext them to go back far enough for me to get really excited.

GW's financial year runs from July to June, so I wouldn't in any way assume this is some kind of end of year sales.
From what I've been by told by my local store manager, it's an experiment to see if it would be popular, and if so they'd possibly expand it. We'll never truly know how popular it is, unless they completely change what they report in their financial statements at the end of July.
The post on their 40k Facebook page asking what Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines old stuff people wanted got 1500 replies within a week, so there is plenty of interest. They id previously boast in a financial report that they didn't do market research. Thankfully it appears they've ditched that stupid ideology.
The stuff re-released so far hasn't been at crazy prices, and if the range expands to include some really old OOP stuff, as opposed to jut recent OOP stuff, then that could be good.
If or when they get around to fantasy, who knows what might happen. I think it's unfair to dismiss something this early, and wait and see where it goes.
-
It makes sense that the first run they do is going to be popular stuff, from their more popular range.
They do seem to be trying some new things. I picked up the white dwarf for September for the free model and was pleasantly surprised to find it was actually a decent magazine to. Fairly thick, actually had articles and wasn't just 100 pages of ads and prices. Almost back to how it was when I first started.
-
I too was impressed by the new WD. I actually subscribed for the year.
I think the "world that was" is something they are going to return to. I don't know if they will do a return to the old Warhammer Rules (or something like them) but they are talking about the "world that was" in the mag and elsewhere.
-
We can only hope then. I also hope to see more WFB and Mordheim OOP minis. :smile2:
-
It's called the World of Warhammer! :x
I imagine they talk about it because it's a great entry for royalties and alas it's also the prequel to ' S... that is now'' :dry:
-
Indeed, it's usual in mention to the TW game or the black library's novels.
Never know though, after several years or so they might pull fantasy 30k.
@Oxycuter & Gankom, pretty much in full agreement with both your statements. :-D
I too was impressed by the new WD. I actually subscribed for the year.
Wish my money wasn't so tight at the moment or I'd do the same. :unsure:
The TW discount with the next issue might force my hand so I can save some money down the road when I purchase the game.
Also things like the AoP pics like this one are a BIG persuader to buy it as well:
From FB (I don't have the WD yet). What a corker in the Army on Parade section. Stunning.

Wow, that's an impressive looking army. :ph34r:

I just posted my code in the Total War thread.... run quick and you can be the one to grab it.
I think you can also get the voucher and download code free from a GW store by asking?
-
Whoops, I think Zak got it first. :-P
That was too kind of you anyway. I don't like getting stuff without paying for it, I'm weird like that. :-D
Thanks anyway!
-

I was actually offered one without asking yesterday, but declined because I don't play the game. I should have accepted and sent it to Baron v. K.!

Little late with this news but just wanted to let you lads know what's next:
- Emperor's Children Lord
- Sorcerer with plasma-pistol and staff
- Lord of Khorne with axe
- Juan Diaz Daemonettes (10)
- Juan Diaz Daemonettes on Steeds of Slaanesh (5)
https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1356
-
Those are great demonettes and steeds. Always liked them.
-
Have a friend with the full slannesh army of that era. Agreed - those steeds are the best.
-
Juan Diaz made the best Daemonettes ever IMO.
-
Wow, the Juan Diaz Daemonettes ?! That's some really nice models that I didn't expect to ever see again sold outside expensive e-bay deals.
If they are not tto expensive I might even buy somes to use in Kings of War, nice new thanks !
-
Next lot of "made to order" is out on GW site.

-
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeh...
Cool that they're doing this, but still nothing of interest to me so far. Patience... :unsure:
Edit: Also, that Emperor's Children lord is one of the worst figures I've seen from GW. Can't understand why they would bring that back. Or cast it in the first place. :ph34r:
-
Who is deciding what they are going to "make to order"? that title makes me think that they will make something that people want, so I again ask, who asking for most of the stuff they have made so far? there are so many other figures, figures that are much more usable, of more interest, and better sculpted. Could it be that they are just selling off old stocks of figures that did not sell when they were first made? steveb
-
They are, apparently, doing what people ask them to ... plus additional figures of a similar theme. There was demand for the Juan Diaz Daemonettes and so they did those and some things they thought were appropriately connected.
-
A lot of the imperial guard stuff from the first wave was stuff that was fairly popular or that I've seen asked about a lot. I don't know where their listening, but it looks like its more or less what people want. Then like darknight says, they'll probably add a few associated things. Lots of people like the daemonettes, so they added the three chaos space marine heroes to bulk it out.
-
I want 5th ed metal empire units.
-
I want 5th ed metal empire units.
Yup.
-
White Knight...
-
Would not think that we would ever get mounted figure's are GW would not be able to do a small amount of the plastic horses.
-
I want 5th ed metal empire units.
At the current rate we would have to wait until 2025 for that to happen ... :dry:
-
Write to GW - seriously. They say they have been choosing what to make based on input. Write to them and ask.
-
After the metal imperial guard release, there was a poll for what to print next, juan diaz demonetts were on that list.
...i bought 2 sets of each.
-
Head's up leaders of the Empire and Free Poeples
GW are taking requests for Grand Alliance Order stuff from the archives to be put in the Made to Order range. For those of you still in the Old World, that means Empire, Lizardmen, Dark Elves, Wood Elves, Dwarfs, High Elves, Bretonnians, Kislev, Dogs of War (Possibly if it's a "good" guy unit)
You are wasting time asking for the return of WFB, but if there are old miniatures you want to get that are going for crazy prices on eBay, then

Best plan is to Like an existing post that has what you want.
TEUTOGEN GUARD anyone?
-
Damn. I dont want stuff that i might buy right away. I got money but i just cant spend hundreds of dollars on toys each month!
There is a ton of stuff i want from order. But not until like february.
Teutogen guard.
Waywatchers ...maybe any wardancers i didnt get.
Probably like half the dogs of war range.
Kislev riders
Bret questing knights
Bret lord on hippogryph
Green knight
Fey enchantress
I doubt they will print much from the dwarves. It took them forever to try and dump their old slayers - probably melted them down just before fires layers were released. I could see them doing bugman and dwarf lord on shieldbearers.
Oh well, if they dont space out their made to order then they will just lose money, at least from me. I will hesitate to buy stuff i sorta want for fear that in a few weeks it will be something i really want. So need to save the money.
-
I've asked for Steam Tank variants
-
I want so many OoP models...
This is a great business initiative. I'm glad, even only to make some speculators angry... :icon_mad:
-
Hurray! :biggriin:
Really thought it'd be only 40k products. (Not surprising of course, popularity wins out)
Awesome they're doing this. Hope to see some Brets! :smile2:
-
I now just hope they don't make all the things I want in one go....
-
I don't have facebook anymore, so no way to post this list.
I want:
Marksmen of miragliano
Plastic bretonnian knights (most recent)
Rieksguard foot
-

I'd love, love, love to see old Gotrek and Felix models. :ph34r:
-
Hum, with the rebowing of Island of Blood, what if they also made the same for Battle for Skull Pass ?
(http://www.solicitor.de/bilder/warham10.jpg)
-
Is island of blood available again?
-
Yes, it's in preorder, they repackaged it for AoS with a new name and to my big surprise a lower price (well, you don't get the mini 8th edition rulebook) at only 65 euros, it's a really really nice deal, the first one that I really find good value from them since many years (the battle boxes are only in the "expensive but acceptable" range for me, compared to "crazy expensive" of the base kits)
Also another surprise : the box will include both round and square bases. ^_^
Of course this means that the product is already sold out in most regions while still in pre order, but GW announced on Facebook that they would make some more.
-
Nice to see GW give WFB/AoS some love, after an almost never ending stream of releases for 40K/30K. I do wish that they'd bring the old school, 6th edition minis, like Malakai's Goblin Hewer. :blush:
-
I am almost tempted to think they might bring back actual Warhammer - why else package it with square bases?

Wouldn't count on it. The bases are cheap, they're cheap and it's a nice nod towards the old fans. ;)
-
I just took delivery of Index Chaotica: Apocrypha. It is an interesting read - a bunch of old (very old) articles from White Dwarf and elsewhere. But these articles are presented without any editorial - they even have (for example) the old Epic "Space Marine" cards to be cut out and glued to thin card! So, I don't know . . .
The switch to A:OS happened at the height of the "dark times". It might be that GW realizes, now, they can make some money by returning Warhammer itself.
-
As Xathrodox said, a nod to the older fans and appeal to rank and file buyers.
Also, those squares have slots and holes in them made for the models so it was either rebox or throw them all away.
Only hope I can see for the Old World is from Forge World. GW already states they have the next 5 years of AoS releases planned and the TW:W hype will have dissipated by then so not much reason to return. (Sorry about saying that in the 8th section, don't mean to be a buzzkill. :P )

Haha, well the first part of the year was nothing but AoS so the 40k focus balances it out. The way they appearing to be gearing up the AoS releases for the next year with new model and novel leaks makes me think it'll be like that again.
First half of the year with AoS releases with some 40k filler and the second half with 40k releases and AoS filler. Hopefully they'll balance it out better but I'm not complaining. Long periods of quiet give my wallet a breather before the next storm. :)

Bloodbowl!

No one's certain why the Fantasy made to order hasn't been done yet. Most speculate a problem with the old molds and GW wanting to meet the demand this time.

Someone asked on the Facebook page, they are still planning that, but don't know when it's going to happen. I am glad to hear the Made to Order is still going though. I think I might get the Chaos team and the cups. I have 3 of them, but I seem to have lost the 4th.
-
Yeah the long absence was a little concerning though I chalked it up to GW having a truckload of stuff they're already busy with like 40k 8th edition.
Not a chaos fan but I do like the cups. Wouldn't be too hard to make them into AoS artifacts..
-
I was never a fan of Bloodbowl, but these minis have that old, cartoony charm to them. :smile2:
-
I was concerned about the pause in made to order as well. Although I did not want back to back to back orders of me buying old made to order stuff. ....running out of money.
I'll be getting a few models from the bloodbowl. ...hard to remember what looked good. I liked the halfling team.
When the do mordehiem, that will set me back quite a bit.
-
Just about any Mordheim models they do will ruin me financially. That and old dwarves.
-
It'd be nice if they threw in some of the plastic kits that were phased out with the arrival of Age of Sigmar in future MtO releases; the Free Company Militia, Tomb Kings and Bretonnians would be fantastic.
-
Chaos Blood Bowl available now for ONE WEEK only.
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Home?_requestid=9319945
-
Mordheim and Necromunda minis would be very welcome, but I'd love to see the Free Company box, once again.
-
I'm dismayed at the blood bowl team choices. No Halflings with the treeman dude!
-
Wait, that's actually a thing? I thought it was halflings and ogres only?
-
Ogre and Halfling has only been a thing since the new Star Player pair released in January
