Where can I preorder the new Necron battleforce?

[shredder387]

I am new to the game and I decided Necrons was the way to go for me. I saw they are making a new battleforce and some said it is available for preorder. I have yet to find it anywhere online.
Where is it available and if I can preorder it here in the US?

When it gets officially set up for preorder, it will be up all over the GW site. Other retailers will of course offer it...but keep in mind those are not the only retailers where it is available...they don't have some sort of special connection or power

[shredder387]

I just figured with the 18th coming up and that being the supposed release date they would have already made it available for preorder. Is it normal for GW to wait just a mere week to the release to make a product available for preorder?

Has it been normal? No. Will it be normal? Yes. For some unknown reason, GW have decided to change their business model and not tell the customers what they're releasing until it's been released.

That kind of hurts bussiness in a way, atleast in preorder sales. I can't wait to get my hands on this set. I already have The Ark and a Barge.
I looked at total wargamer. Is that the best place to look for the preorder?

[Architech]

it's one place...there are plenty of other online retailers with equal or higher community regard. It also depends on where you live

I know GW some times has free shipping on purchases over 15$ so you might want to check that out.

[shredder387]

I live in the US and can't wait to play necrons at my LGS tournies they hold every sunday. So I would definitely like to get my order quickly.

[Architech]

your best option will be to preorder through a store...that way they'll get it faster than you just waiting for it in the mail from a retailer. This will be the fastest way other than GW direct...most of the time

GW only does it with orders over 30 USD

[shredder387]

I guess I could try going through my local GW retailer and try preordering from them. This set just seems like a great deal especially to someone who is starting 40k with Necrons.

[Architech]

that will be the fastest way to get it, but not the cheapest...you'll save a bit of hassle at the cost of about 10-20%

[shredder387]

Alright thanks for the help guys! I will definitely try my shop this weekend.

Does the Battleforce even exist? Its the 17th of February and its supposed to release on the 18th(supposedly)but it is nowhere to be found even on GW site.

[Leonartes]

UK release date for the battleforce is the 25th Feb, making advance orders from the 18th Feb in GW stores and on the website. Im guessing the American Side of the Company does it the same way, meaning you will be able to advance order the new Necron Battleforce as off tommorow.
All new releases are available to advance order a week before general release.

Battleforce just went up for advanced order on the main GW site. £65, 20 warriors, 5 immortals/deathmarks, 5 scarab swarms, ghost ark/doomsday ark. Total saving, ~£30

[StainlessSteel47]

I'm definitely getting it. $105 US is a STEAL for what you get. Can't have too many warriors, immortals and scarabs, and I'll be building the Ghost Ark.

I have been waiting on this to jumpstart my necron army! Now that it does actually exist I am ready to do so.
I am going to preorder the battleforce tomorrow and buy a pack of lcychgaurd/praetorians. Which one of the 2 choice do most prefer?

Lychguard personally, but CJB has had good success with Praetorians. It all depends on what you're after.
