Rasp Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Sisters-of-Battle-Immolator Immolator out of stock in the UK web store. Begin your rituals of speculation now. Final nail in the coffin? Glimmer of hope for new things? Random inventory spike? Our only plastic kit... Doom?

WarriorFish Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 We've been here countless times before, the chances are it means nothing at all. It'll be back ;) One day something will go and it will mean something, true, but that will almost certainly be accompanied with other signs. Such as the rumour mill cranking and perhaps most telling would be all the other SoB kits that are to be replaced going at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The last time we had this thread I bought an Immolator from the US web store just in case. I knew it was probably nothing then, and I know it is probably nothing now, but I can always use another Immolater, so I guess I'll do it again.

Toxichobbit Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 It's not out of stock, it's no longer available. That's a big difference. Out of stock means just that, which in the grand scheme of things means absolutely nothing other than their warehouse is currently empty of said product. No longer available means they aren't producing it anymore, which might signify something more important going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naminé Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Weird to think they'd just drop the only plastic model in their range though. Is the exorcist still available? That comes with the immolator sprue after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsmith Aznable Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Went ahead and got three more girls and a Superior along with an Immolator. After an inventory of the ladies I realized I needed just a couple more to make another full squad. So everything is good. On a side note, they dumped all the old accounts from before a year ago, so I had to sign back up to order from the webstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I had been hoping to buy two more of the things this summer, but ran out of currency. Anway, even if I they did really discontinue it this time, I suppose it's just likely that they have something planned to replace it. Sad part being is that it's unlikely to be as cheap!

Aqui Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was going to get at least one soon too! *cries* Weird to think they'd just drop the only plastic model in their range though. Is the exorcist still available? That comes with the immolator sprue after all... Is that right? I might have to get one of them instead. Two for the price of one as they say... Edit: Have sent a polite email asking what the situation is. Will post when/if I get an answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sororita Katya Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The immolator is still up in Australia for $55AUD so if anyone wants one I'm happy to pick it up and send it to you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusaderRaven Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 If this is a sign of a new kit coming it should indicate new plastic variations alongside the Immolator necessitating a new set of sprues. GW is all about the combo kits now a days. On the flip side the current kit is newer than a lot of other kits, so it seems unlikely the Immolator alone would be getting an upgrade.. which also makes it a bit scary. The new rapid fire release model does lend itself well to SoB though, so I choose to be optimistic. Perhaps another double feature along the lines of Admech with a smaller, more focused SoB codex and an Ecclesiarchy codex to complement and freshen things up? ...I'll stop now.

Slips Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So, uh, this just popped up: http://natfka.blogspot.ca/2015/08/sisters-of-battle.html *shrug* The Answer........... Hi,Thanks for the Email - Unfortunately the Immolator is classed as no longer available - this usually means at the moment we have no plans to reproduce it - however as we are not part of the decision making process here in customer service ( it's kept top secret!!)Please keep an eye on the Website and or in White Dwarf for news on releases, we usually get to know at the last minute too.As regards the backpacks I can ask around but I can't promise any - as you say the bits service is no longer done - we would need to find an opened box in the warehouse.

Aqui Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I got a similar answer when I sent an email to GW: "Hi there! Thank you for your email. I'm afraid that at the moment we do not have any information about the Immolator - all I can recommend doing at this time is keeping an eye on the webstore and White Dwarf as all re-releases and new products are advertised on there first. I'm sorry I cannot be of more help this time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If it's indeed being replaced, it'll be interesting to see what new options will be added and such. The Natfka link mentions the backpacks.. boy do I wish they sold 'em separately, I'm missing some regular backpacks and 2-3 seraphim backpacks from my second-hand purchases!

Warsmith Aznable Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Checking the UK store this morning, says it is available to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Next time maybe you whipper snapper novitiates might listen It's surely going to be almost the entire range (or all!) that is replaced so chances are good we'd be hearing some decent tremors beforehand. Something other than meaningless wish listing or the recycled junk we've heard before that is. As ever: stay vigilant and keep the faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 But overreacting each time it happens is so much fun! :D Know what though? The price did hike by 1 euro from what it was before! THE OUTRAGE! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 That's to cover the expense of answering the emails about where it went, so you know who to blame :P Right, that's that sorted then. See you next month for the same topic ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sororita Katya Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 At least when this happens by making a scene GW remembers we exist. And then they get a nice little boost in sales in return as well as I have just bought two as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yeh we saw it go back up last night on the sisters face book group. think I will buy another 2 shortly to make into rhinos just to be safe. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 As I mentioned further up, I could probably use about two more. Well, assuming I ever get around to actually playing again, that is. Even if Sisters finally do get a new combo vehicle kit later on, it seems unlikely there would be a majorly better transport option available. Problem is I can't afford them at least for the next two months. Bah. Hopefully they'll still be around then ;) Bigger question is the Exorcist, whether or not to get a second one. Rules-wise it seems a good idea, but a fully plastic kit would be nicer now that I at least have one of the original for collecting purposes.
