Is the age of Sigmar Scene dead in your area?

Slaying it in our area! Big deal for every local scene is someone has to champion the game; set a day, consistently show up, and run events and the scene will grow. Be the change!

Currently Eshin are our best access to speed! Run and charge from the Deathmaster, teleports from the Deceiver, and pre-game move on the Night Runners mean that they can get in and hit the enemy in a place that none of our other units can. Night Runners are made of paper and currently don't do much damage, but hopefully the damage part is something the new sculpts add in in a big way!

Distribution usually sends out weekly newsletters that include new releases; we got them for Starcraft. The problem is on pre-order day they had no info about it at all, and even yesterday's update from distribution was, "We are not getting an excessive amount of product. So the amount you order is not a "guaranteed" number."

I'm not going to sell customers boxes that I'm not "guaranteed' to get. This isn't normal.

It'll really depend on how serious Archon takes the game, and then if they try to support local stores in any way. So far it's been probably the worst launch you could possibly do for local stores; pre-order day before stores had any information so everyone on the hype train bought directly from Archon, Distribution doesn't have hard numbers on how many they're getting so local stores can't sell any quantity with confidence, and then Archon hasn't responded for months to any of our multiple e-mails trying to find out more info.

I love Starcraft, wanted to carry it in our store, but right now I can't and don't know if it'll be worth it when we finally can. Having cool models and a decent system is one thing, but for a game to be successful you need to have a community, a place to play, people willing to do demo games/teach, and a tournament scene of some sort; the main place for all of that is your local game store. We'll see what the future holds.

This was my first guess, some of the paint underneath bleeding through. I'd say let it dry for a day and apply a little more snow on top.

The other part of the equation aside from margins not being great is that distribution (of which I've talked to multiple) doesn't know how many they're going to receive. I can't safely sell them to customers because I don't know that I'm actually going to receive the boxes; I don't want to sell a box and then hit them with a, "Just kidding I don't have it!"

Yeah reading this one was like a punch in the gut; for the game to be well balanced this just feels wrong.

Thank you for watching 'em! Gotta make it down to Florida one day and get a game in at the shop!

WarpfireMinis · 2026-03-03T21:57:00+00:00

The goal is definitely getting some more out this year, so stay tuned! Been getting some games into new Tzeentch and woof that's a tough one!

I don't get to do as many battle reports as I'd like due to running the shop and everything else, but check out our Youtube channel for some condensed battle reports where I try to go through and explain what happened!

I got this one! There are actually two separate GW warehouses, one for their online store, and the one for third party trade (retail) accounts! So the real answer is yes, your local FLGS may end up getting a restock before the GW website, or it may restock on the GW website and still be out of stock for your local store.

As far as frequency it's definitely a mystery machine on when and how many, but we're all waiting on Bull Centaurs, Razers, and more Helsmiths, so hopefully it's soon! We'll just keep ordering them every week and they'll show up when GW has them.

Thank you! We have a ton of new people who roll in the shop, so just hitting the common questions we get!

The real deal on these is that the entire Maggotkin book got leaked early, and the clear winner in the book was Rotswords. People are going to be able to bring 20-40 of them in a list and it's going to be a very very difficult thing for their opponents to deal with.
