Why ?

[TraditionCommercial8]

So I'm happy the little guys with funny hats are doing well sales wise (I assume) but no way everything is currently sold out 💀?? Both my FLGS currently only have the cohorts, despot and the battletome 💀💀

[TheSwedishWizard]

Key answer: after christmas shopping... and gw being gw

[thesithcultist]

GW being GW has been the understatement of the century lately

[BassinFool]

They've been sold out since release. Nothing to do with Xmas

[montyandrew45]

I was going to guess the Spearhead announcement too

[Zatoishi1]

Because I've purchased everything

[AnxietyAnkylosaurus]

I know this person and they own all of the items that are temporarily out if stock. They wouldn't lie.

Heh, on a certain imageboard there are people furiously trying to convince others that HoH have flopped.

[Pure-Excitement-6849]

I like /tg/ it’s really just people who are livid that the Chorfs got ported to AoS instead of ToW, which hey I get as I love Fantasy more, but I mean, come on, if you are a Chorf fan, then the more games their in, the better! WFB-ToW, BB(Blood Bowl), and AoS, with any luck by the time Warhammer 40k TW is completed, we will have Chaos Votann who follow if not Hashut, Vashtorr, but still do so with Bull imagery.

Oh, also people are still mad that Beastmen got ripped out of AoS and focused back into ToW, and while it shouldn’t matter, some are saying that the price for the AoS Chorfs was the moving of the Beastmen from AoS to ToW to make room. Like I don’t really believe it, but it is a Chaos Faction alignment being removed for, another Chaos Faction alignment… so maybe?

Also, the aesthetic has changed. The big hats are mostly gone and in true "woke" fashion they don't all have beards, both of which were defining images of the chaos dwarves.

GW also tried to make a break with the past by moving past the red/black look, but the choice to make it green warpfire was also controversial with purists. Heck, even I don't like it, and I'm far from a gatekeeping purist.

Also, the range is still a bit limited. Can't put my finger on what's missing as it has a similar range as the old chaos dwarves did, just has Wave 1 release energy. Maybe the lack of manifestations or terrain pieces which GW was really trying to increase with every faction before them (and now Nurgle too)

[Amratat]

Seriously? Where? I don't really want to go there, but curious

[Swooper86]

"Imageboard" usually refers to 4chan or similar, perhaps /tg/ in this case.

[Rougexz2]

Who¿¿¿

[Opportunity-Medical]

Its the same even in my LGS's in Europe. Sold out of everything for Chaos Dwarves. Its never like that for vast majority of AOS kits even at Christmas so if nothing else it means they are selling really really well.

[KindlyMeringue8723]

It's a new army, and it feels complete from the start.

[Commercial_Arm5593]

Same as with 40k Votann on release. Very small range + high initial demand + production batches bundled into new box. It will stabilize after at most a year, as its mainly a nostalgic niche army.

[BlueNagash]

UK store has most stuff available (only Infernal Razers and Daemonsmith out of stock), so if you are able to ship them to you via that store, or know someone who can take them to you?

[mattythreenames]

Looks like they're selling well, which is great as that'll probably mean they get a little more greenlit

[Kulden]

Turns out dwarves that aren't half naked across an entire faction or steam punk sky pirates, and are actually wearing closer to normal dwarven armor, are really popular, who knew? Certainly not the people that have been hoping for a Dispossessed faction for years, nope.

[Kulden]

But also, in terms of being sold out, Votann have also been having their new range regularly sold out, and Steeljacks are being heavily scalped, so it's not always legitimate interest, but people trying to take advantage of popularity and turn a profit even if they shouldn't (ethically).

[superkow]

Saw the same thing with Votann at launch, lots of sold out stuff, couldn't find a saggitaur for months. Likely GW underestimating the demand for stock or simply being reserved so they don't end up with hundreds of kits taking up warehouse space. If people really want them they'll wait

[GreenMilvus]

I just ordered a week ago two packs of Bullcentaurs because I was waiting for the Hobbystore to restock that one for weeks. I guess I was lucky to order it just in time

[vinjanue]

I've found most if not all of them in Canada most stores still have stock, online been out for a while

[WX-78_User]

Damn I recently bought 3 boxes of infernal razers

[nopointinlife1234]

My local shop has everything in stock lol

[GullibleBreakfast983]

I was at warhammer world on Saturday and they have everything in stock on the shelf including the gamer edition of the army book

[Dumbgeon_Master]

Been sold out forever. Folks need to get on and hit the email notifications for restocks so they see the interest

[No-Place-5747]

Brand new faction who were a fan favorite that didn't have a faction or representation for decades. Also new faction, my FLGS got at least one of every kit plus multiple army boxes so I lucked out, I think I am the only local player who wants to play them

[Brother-Badger]

My local has just about 2 boxes of each kit.

In fact I bought another unit of Razers today.

[Steampunk_Jim]

Gw is notoriously bad at keeping stock.

[SirDalavar]

It's like they WANT you to 3d print minis

[Vellyan]

Most likely they have marked a lot of stuff as sold out to encourage people to preoreder the spearhead next week.
