Only 12 player kits for sale ?

I was looking at the GW online store looking to add a few tems to my collection and it seems there are only 12-man teams for sale , no extra packages which allow you to expand your team to 16 players.

Also, some teams like Norse or DE are not updated to LRB5.

Are there any moves being made to rearrange the figures in the teams to be in alignment with LRB5 ?
Are these extra blisters ( 4-figures) no longer available ?

Any other place where I can find what I'm looking for ;)

GW is working to return the expansion blister packs to the store. We don't yet have an official ETA on when those will appear in the store ... but they are planned.

At this time if you'd like to look for expansion packs for your team to fill it out. Check out www.BBFigs.com

Just double checked the link and it worked fine. Sorry if it did not work when you tried it.

It does work fine now indeed.
Looks like the place to be to round out your teams.

also the nurgle team needs a complete makeover (to fit in with lrb5), will there be a new team box coming out for nurgle?

Not currently planned.

We took care of that at BBFigs.com so if you order the 12 player boxed set you actually get the LRB 5.0 team.

Just had a look at bbfigs, and it looks like a brilliant idea - I have been so annoyed a having to either convert WH figures or buy two boxed sets in order to field all positionals.

However I do have a question - are the figures sold at bbfigs supplied painted? It looks like it, yet it states that "pewter" models are supplied unpainted. Being a non-native english speaker I am unsure as to whether the "white metal" used by GW is considered to be pewter?

OK I checked with them - they aren't painted.

It is still hugely attractive deals, though.
