hmmmmm..... I can't think of anything bar bad words.

I hope I don't decide I need anything to round out my Tau army when I get around to painting it.

The disapearance of the Tyranid Tyragon before I ordered one was upsetting enough.

So many things that I would like but I am definitely not spending anything on them at this point in time.  In particular this has the potential to stuff up a lot of the ideas for my Eldar army.

This sucks as I don't really have the money to buy a second half of my planned Tau army. I really hate that the FW (or GW for that matter) can't say in advance if they are planning phase out something. Would give time to people to buy while they still can.

But that would require effective customer support! GW can't afford that!

Don't suppose anyone has a spare pair of warhounds...

Just as I get into the game GW decide I'm not allowed to play it :(

E&C, Otterman, does this mean a start to project 'fix this fuckup'.

Wonder if the rationalisation of ranges has anything to do with FW picking up responsibility for Warhammer Historical.

I've nothing to base this on but it may point to a new direction they are taking and they need the space for new ranges that they believe would be more profitable.

I have one dice left to roll with Forgeworld first.

Wish us luck, and if you're religious, pray to the Dice Gods that our roll comes up a six.

Thanks for the heads up, just placed over £500 worth of epic bits just in case, as I have 2/3 of a tau army would have hated to ahve a few missing bits

I don't know what the remaining epic players would do without guys like you and otter, best of luck, godspeed.  :agree:

also, didn't realise this board has no swearfilter. I apologise to anyone that was offended by the word fuckup.

I believe said word covers the situation quite adequately, no offense taken!   :agree:

This is ridiculous, guess what I was about to put a £300 order in for next month  :sad:  .  Since I can't get the Basilisks no point in getting the Manticores or Hydras from them either, and I needed another set of Warhounds.

It seems incredibly irresponsible to pull a line without any warning.  At least GW gave fair warning when they dropped Kislev for Warmaster.  In future I think I will save up all my money for an army and buy it in one go rather than piecemeal.  Losing the Tau is going to be a real shame.

I can see many more alternatives coming onto the market ;-)

I'd have liked some trojans but I'll live.

I suppose one silver lining is I could buy up all remaining stock and make a killing on fleabay  :devil:
Though I am seriously annoyed about the greynight termies gone, I just hope I dont need any replacements for what I have already.  Once again an example of very poor customer services from these guys

If they are gone for good, I for one will not attempt to buy anything off ebay for the Tau. I will make do with other 6mm manufacturer alternatives.

In a way, GW (and therby FW) are promoting other businesses or freelancers by not supporting their own games.

GW's pricing policies already drove me to internet discounters and then, after I completed my one relatively modest fantasy army, out of spending on the core games entirely. I'm too casual a player with too many bills and too paltry a salary to continue on.

This move with epic, done with no advanced notice (or even with some deception, since people said they were reassured that the range was safe a few weeks ago), is a slap in the face to players and now just makes it that much harder to sustain a community. I built my eldar army entirely on ebay and now, before my first game, I'm hesitant to sink anymore money into a game that may well be being killed off.

I don't know if it's GW, or me, or whatever, but it's getting harder and harder to remain active in these games when the immense cost and seemingly declining playerbase is constantly in the back of my mind.
