Just got some info from a usually fairly reliable source, and to be honest I’m not sure if it supports this rumour or not, but here goes.
As of November, Forgeworld in stores.
Sadly, no info beyond that, so could mean a number of things…
1 Available to order into stores – so free shipping
2 Actual stock in stores
3 The plastic set isn’t plastic
4 actual stock in stores to support the plastic set
Wish I could offer more info, but sadly can only work with the info I’ve got.
There was a lot to do about this very topic way back in March when we started hearing rumors of this, but an exact time-frame was never nailed down. The Image below seemed to indicate that a Forge World option was being tested on Games Workshop’s site, perhaps for fulfillment from local hubs in market countries outside of England.
