So it's hard enough to keep anything decent in stock to begin with, but it certainly helps to know what some of the best boxes and blisters to ask for are.

So... When it comes to Hordes, what are some of the boxes and blisters I NEED to have in stock?

I'm looking for the best (or most popular) 3 or 4 things from each faction.

Thanks guys.

For Troll ole standbys, I'd say:
Fell caller hero
Earthborn Dire Troll
Champions
Krielstone bearers
Janissa Stonetide

I also know for Skorne, many lists include Bronzeback Titans.

Oh! For Minions, the Gator models are very popular: Gatorman posse to be exact.

Basically, Ed is right. The two distributors we use to get PIP stuff get restocked every 10ish weeks. They are expecting their next restock in 4-6 weeks. The Hordes Battleboxes were not restocked the last time around (about 15 weeks ago) and ACD and Alliance have both been out of them for longer than that.

Based on this, I am basically sure that they are being re-done, similar to the WMmkII boxes.

I promise, with the rapidly increasing popularity of the game (in Plainville anyways) it REALLY pains me to not have the ability to get starter boxes, RULE BOOKS, and the vast majority of popular models when I (you) want them.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING hurts a games ability to grow in a local setting more than telling prospective players that they can't buy the starter kits, rulebooks, and models they want for weeks to come.

It drives me crazy.

It also hurts that I'm not selling it anymore.

Legion of Everblight

Carniviean
Angelius
Striders
Shepards/Forsaken
Nephilim of any sort

For warlocks, I'd go epic Llyth, epic or prime Thagrosh, Vayl, and the twins, Rhyas and Seras.

Forgive me if the spelling is off, I don't have the cards in front of me.

   While beasts and casters are important to a minion player, all other factions can take minion units/solos in their army and are therefore of more importance.

   Units: Cylena Raefyll and Nyss Hunters, Bog Trog Ambushers, Gatorman Posse, swamp gobber bellows crew, Farrow Slaughterhousers.
   Unit Attachements/Solos: Viktor Pendrake, Saxon Orrik, Lanyssa Ryssyll, Thrullg

Just some basic stuff i thought would be helpful.
