@elessar2590 I think the reasoning is that GW has announced it isn’t going to reprint the Warcry starter box.

Once it has sold out, it’s gone – building on FOMO.

This is a smaller set that allows the customer to buy the warbands that they want, or an AoS player to use the figures they already have, and buy the upcoming book that replaces the unit cards.

At this point, along with what they are trying with Necromunda: Dark Uprising, I think GW are just experimenting with various sales strategies with the Forge World games, to see if they can find an optimal model to use for the FW/Boxed Game range going forward.

This could be why they have yet to redo Battlefleet Gothic…

Lots of people are asking for it but I think GW are looking for this optimal release strategy before they go for what could very well be their biggest Boxed Game.
