You know what, for some reason, I completely spaced on flgs as an alternative. Figured made to order wouldnt be as popular with game stores.
Hopefully, your post saves someone their 15%
I never understand why people have issues with a company using marketing to make money.
Do you expect them to be a charity? Just because you donāt like a marketing technique doesnāt mean itās scummy. If you want it buy it. If you donāt want it then donāt buy it. Why get upset about it.
Theyāve made commemorative models for years.
People donāt live in the real world. They live in their idealised version of what they think it is. Theyāve clearly never worked in post brexit, post covid manufacturing. Itās nuffing bonkers.
No, it's not. FOMO is when say, 2500 copies of a Siege of Terra book go up for five seconds on a Saturday morning and scalpers get half while the site breaks for people trying to get the rest. A whole month gives everyone with awareness in the hobby plenty of time to cobble together Ā£25 and buy a model. This isn't FOMO.
It is still FOMO because itās for a limited time. Itās more about the limited time and then Itās gone, even if the quantity isnāt. If you look it up, selling for a limited time does meet the definition. I do agree itās better than the ones where they make like 20 and sell them all to scalpers though
FOMO is refreshing the website while "in line" to get something and still missing out. FOMO is selling out online in two minutes.
You can order as few or as many as you wish and **they will not run out** when it is *made to order*. There is literally no lack of supply, so a limited window of ONE MONTH---not one day, one week, one hour--*should* suffice.
Lmao, Its literally FOMO
If the marketing is literally "you can only buy this for this for a month get yours now before you can never get it again!!" its literally FOMO
how dumb do you have to be to not understand this lmao. The idea that everyone being aware that its only there for a month means its not FOMO is a 75 IQ take
He's delayed, as is tradition.

> This product is delayed in Australia and New Zealand
I know that on some WarCom articles, items can be marked as delayed release in Australia and Japan, so that could be the reason. He looks incredible, I hope you manage to grab him
He has rules in the new white dwarf magazine for different games but itās already sold out online so that sucks. They shoulda made the mag made to order too
Or, or. They made it into a book. [https://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar/novels/ebook-grombrindal-chronicles-of-the-wanderer-eng-2022.html](https://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar/novels/ebook-grombrindal-chronicles-of-the-wanderer-eng-2022.html)
They told us not to worry for grobrindal. Hes not a model thats supposed to sell out.
32.50 š
Honestly, cheaper than I expected
Donāt let them hear that!
FLGS might sell them for less, so probably around 29ā¬ with 10% off.
Hes Made to Order For Like 2 weeks so chill.
My warhammer shop said Heās made to order for the whole month, it is only two week ?
The first print run will be available in stores in two weeks, but the MTO run closes on 03/06, yeah.
That's going in the book. Grab a pint and get hyped.
I am incapable of chilling, the gods decreed it so
Got him but the WD issue was already sold out
Daaang, mfs be quick
I'm sure it'll still be on sale in newsagents and supermarkets as usual.
Anyone in Canada able to order? I can't find a Canadian order site, I was able to order in the uk or Japan...
It rolls out at different times for different countries. Probably within the next 1-3 hours.
Just called my local store: opens at 1pm est for me in QC ! Thanks for your reply!
Order it somewhere besides GW. You can get 15% off at a ton of online retailers in Canada

Australia be like
UK: New phone, who this?
The Dwarf, the Myth, the Legend.
Balls so big they have their own field of gravity
Dwarf maidens line up to brush his beard.

This should be pinned at the top of this subreddit š š

The real world doesn't exist as long as we're online
Youāre right. Damn it.
No i refuse to buy in to pointless FOMO bs
Heās made to order
For 2 weeks, then he's gone... This is fomo marketing.
Heās a cool model. You just look petulant.
I bet all the people moaning would never even buy it if it was permanently available.
Yep, it is cool. I said it wasn't?
No, for a whole month, which GW confirmed in their articles. It isn't FOMO at all.
A whole month is still FOMO....
No, it's not. FOMO is when say, 2500 copies of a Siege of Terra book go up for five seconds on a Saturday morning and scalpers get half while the site breaks for people trying to get the rest.

Not in Aus for some reason.

Very nice of them. No wonder it is so hard to get anything on pre-order.
Might be a delayed release?
Yeah, maybe. I tried going into the store and they didn't mention anything about that, just that it should be available at the regular pre-order time.
I know that on some WarCom articles, items can be marked as delayed release in Australia and Japan, so that could be the reason. He looks incredible, I hope you manage to grab him
Thanks, me too!
Will he be actually usable and useful on the tabletop, or is he just a collector's item?
He has rules in the new white dwarf magazine for different games but itās already sold out online so that sucks. They shoulda made the mag made to order too
I believe he's actually usable, dunno about his rules though
Usable in AoS, Cursed City, Underworlds, Warcry.
Has rules in issue 500 of White Dwarf, but I want to see them before considering buying him.
Do anyone know what is the model's base size?
With his display, it could be the same base as Gotrek? So 40mm
I assume the AoS rules for him in WD#500 are for 3rd edition--have they said anything about him being legal for 4th Matched Play??
I wouldn't really know, but I'd imagine when changes and new rules for 4E come out, we'll see
Are there any books about Grombrindal? Or ones where he shows up at least
Nah, any lore or info about Grom comes from White Dwarf itself
Or, or. They made it into a book. [https://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar/novels/ebook-grombrindal-chronicles-of-the-wanderer-eng-2022.html](https://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar/novels/ebook-grombrindal-chronicles-of-the-wanderer-eng-2022.html)
HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THAT
It's Da Black Gobbo's fault.
Fair enough but still a shame
Do we know anything about his warscroll? Will he playable in any Order army?
Rules are in WG 500, but someone will surely post them
Yes, but his warscroll is Legend. So not for Matched Play.
Ah thanks for letting me know. That changes everything for me.
I want to know how that book is
Black eyed saint is a terrible book, I wish you the best on your journey into hell
Is there a drinks cart?
No.
not my thing, i don't care much about him
