December 5th Release?

By Arbitrator, in Only War

I went on Amazon.co.uk just now They've updated their preview icon (from a generic Guardsmen picture to the actual rulebook) and set a release/publication date of December 5th.

Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Could be true, could be amazon making up release dates.
Not sure what else to say.

Amazon have a very poor track record at predicting FFG release dates.

I got an E-mail reminder this time last year telling me that Only War was due in two weeks. Given we were still writing it at the time, I found this reminder to be somewhat odd. partido_risa.gif

Can’t believe it’s been a year… man I want this book!

December makes sense if FFG ever want to actually ship this and make money from it, but early December be a bit hopeful on Amazon's part.

Has anyone heard about it in fact being released on the 5th? I checked Amazon again and it said the 8th of January .

Here is the link to the Amazon page I saw it on

It's Amazon making up dates again, pretty much. The latest preview says it'll be out "later this quarter", so it depends on when their financial year ends. It could mean December, or it could be January. I'd have thought they'd have said if they planned to release it in December by now though.

Well I know one person who received confirmation of their copy shipping (he's in Europe), so who knows what's going on.

Copy shipping from Amazon?

Not from Amazon, no. Amazon is hopeless. They don't even know if the book's coming out this year.

Which company/website is that from then? I wouldn't mind ordering from someone else who actually knows what the hell is going on with the release.

I'll see if I can find out. It's in Europe. That much I can tell you.

Ok not in Europe as I thought, but Miniature Market . It still says pre-order on there… yet they have a stock value, and the guy I know did get a notice that it had shipped. I'm not sure what to think TBH.

Welp, not delivered yet. I got a message telling me that due to supply issues the GM Kit probably won't arrive until after Christmas.No news on the Core Rulebook but the new preview says it will be out this month.

What I want to have is just a release date. So I can be there to get a hold of it before the store is cleaned out. Is that so much to ask?

Fantasy Flight has received the core rule book and GM screen and are shipping them out. They have also received the Tome of Blood book from Black Crusade. I pre ordered both of the from FRP and they are shippin out Tome of Blood and I would guess next week they will be shipping only war core book to me.

Hello,

We regret to inform you that the following items have been delayed as we are still awaiting stock from our suppliers :

Fantasy Flight Games "Only War Core Rulebook (Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay)"
Estimated arrival date: December 15 2012 - December 14 2012

If I'm reading that right, your book may arrive sometime between December 15 and December 14, meaning that in order to get your book the supplier may have to go back in time.

The Warp works in mysterious ways.

Decided to stuff it and order through FFG, and it's looking like I might hopefully manage to get my copy by the end of the week, if the Warp is calm and the Emperor blesses the atmospheric freight transport that carries it!

Sorry, just realised I mistyped - I meant to say next week! Hope I didn't get anyone's hopes up for early copies from FFG's store!

According to a guy at my FLGS, Only War ships from his distriutor tomorrow, so he should see it by Monday.

God I hope that is true.

How much longer after the physical release do you think the Drive Thru Rpg release will be?

No mention of it as of yet, but the PDF has never come out at the same time as the physical book, when it comes to the core rulebooks.

I'd guess at January/February.

Hey look at that! They put up my designer diary! reir


And the thing says next week! Finally! I've been waiting over a year for this book!
