It's just the standard chimera that's gone. All Leman Russ variants are still there and it's just the Stormsword SHT that's gone.

Daaaamn.

For those who want FW stuff, their ususal stock procedures will leave them with some models remaining after an item is withdrawn, so a quick order on the telephone will possibly net you the last remaining models.

And then there's this oddity!  (Thanks for pointing this out, Ben!)

EPIC BUNKER
Ref: SG-EPC-S-005

Price: £97,871.35
Pack of 2.

I'll take ten!



I asked FW only a few weeks ago whether there were any plans to reduce the Epic range and was told 'no', so this is either a recent change, or a mistake.


It's odd that some of the more popular models like Basilisks, Chimeras and Warhounds have been removed.

Well these all look like the most popular selling models.

I have a 1 in 1,000,000 chance hope that this could be an attempt at combining components into one pack, such as the Medusa and Basilisk as well as the Stormsword and Stormblade sharing components.

That sounds like a very plausible explanation. I too am interested in what MoK finds out.

I don't think "streamlining" and ForgeWorld go together at all... look at all the variants!  *laugh*

ChaosOrc appear to have a small stock of some forgeworld bits (in particular some of the tau stuff) but alas, no warhounds *sob*

This changes my plans quite considerably. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and see if I can find out anything and if they really are gone for good, order the rest of the stuff I need before other things start disappearing. Hopefully it's just they are out of stock and the site automatically removed them until stock comes back.

That's a game killer action by FW. I don't play Epic but I hope MoK brings some good news for you lads.

Hmm ... Based on my experience with G/W in the past ... is buy what you want Now !  I've see this happen with Epic before.  So I'm guessing this could be a few things. 1) Replacing old molds ? 2) Sell out stocks for replacments to be released for F/W AT ? 3) F/W is getting out of the Epic business ? I think this is the least likely. However with the current economy, I could see this happening. My best guess is 1 or 2 ... So well see what you blokes in the UK can do with a call ?

Oh f**k! This would happen weeks before I was going to put in a very large FW order for basically all the epic I’d be ever likely to need wouldn’t it (bar a tau army I'd eventually buy another time - and I'd have got that now if they said they were getting rid of them) My planned Grey Knights army is looking very tenuous now and my Krieg/Guard are mourning their as yet unpurchased Trojans

One thing I did notice that gives me a glimmer of hope it might just be a temporary mistake is the red writing on the righthand side of the front page:
Due to a Server upgrade there may currently be some disruption to the online store.

If you experience any problems with ordering, please try again later.

Oh dear, I have half an order missing - 4 Warhounds, 9 chimeras - have been charged for it but they delivered everything but those items?! What's going on I wonder...
