π‘οΈ **HOW GAME CITADEL HANDLES GAMES WORKSHOP PREORDERS β A QUICK GUIDE**
With Warhammer 40K **11th Edition** dropping in the coming weeks, here's the playbook for how preorders work at Game Citadel β and how to make sure you don't miss yours.
**The system:** GW preorders are managed through our **Discord server**, where our intake bot (Friend Computer) posts each wave's items with a want-number deadline. Customers reply in the thread with what they'd like, we lock the orders in, and submit to our Games Workshop rep on a tight cycle.
**To get on the list:**
1οΈβ£ **Join our Discord:** https://discord.gg/9YDM47fP9h
2οΈβ£ **Say hello** in the welcome channel so we can grant you the role to post in the preorder channel.
3οΈβ£ **Watch for the wave announcement** β Friend Computer posts every Sunday after GW reveals new releases.
4οΈβ£ **Reply in the thread** with items + quantities you want, before the want-number deadline (usually Tuesday at 5:30 PM CST).
5οΈβ£ **Pick up on release day** β your order will be ready.
**Live example right now:** *Space Marine Armoured Might* wave β Spartan Prometheus Assault Tank + Falchion Super-Heavy Tank Destroyer, both first time in plastic. Want-number deadline: **Tuesday May 19, 5:30 PM CST.**
**Why this way:** GW requires want-numbers submitted on a tight cycle. Discord intake lets us track every order accurately, reserves stock against your name as soon as you reply, and protects against double-orders or items getting missed.
**11th Edition will be the biggest GW wave in years.** Get into Discord now so you're set up when it drops.
