Sometimes different pages on your browser might not update at the same time; or there's a glitch on the site. In general the page for the model is normally the most accurate. We see the same thing sometimes when products sell out very fast and the overview page shows them in stock, but clicking on the product page shows them as out of stock.

If you want them and they are in stock - grab em!

On the one hand, I really would like to build my "dirty dozen HVCs" troll list in catgut's coconut crab color scheme, but on the other hand I am not sure if I want to give GW money for their BS 9E rules and blatant Primaris favouritism. Well, probably not going to play any games for the next 12-18 months anyways, so not really an urgent matter I guess.

Buy second hand carnifex? You could get them cheaper that way and not hand GW money.

As an owner of far too many Carnifexes, I fully support the acquisition of more Carnifex. Carnifex is love, Carnifex is life.

And yeah their site is often quite screwey so it's hard to tell, best chance is if on the product page it's in stock then you should be able to check it out.

How Many Carnifexes tho? I am quite new, I didnt even play a single game yet (week after i bought models 9th edition was announced and im waiting to not assemble bugs with bad gear)
My army in current point ratings is about 1200 points, how many Carnifexes is good for that? I was thinking of 2 hybrid Carnifexes cose of the new Shoot while fighting thing in 9th ed.

For your models I'd recommend building them up except for head/arm options so you've got most of the model out of the way and can make choices when 9th finally drops, alternatively you could always magnetize the bigger bugs you get with all their arms so you can switch out what you want to run them as. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than just buying more models each time there is a new build you want to use (because that's what I did).

As for how many, it's hard to tell because of the new rules aren't out yet and the changes to cover and how models work in ruins and outflanking could mean a lot. Carnifex loadout is a bit tricky though, it's built as a combat creature but has access to some decent guns so you can't exactly go wrong with Hybrid or pure shooting. Plus being able to shoot into combat really just makes the full shooting ones a bit better cause they aren't made useless when charged. As for how many carnifex, to be honest offering advice on Tyranids isn't the easiest because it depends so much on your play-style and rest of the army. Broad advice I can give, if you're taking Monsters take multiples to counteract any anti-tank your opponent may have. Bigger bugs take at least 2, Carnifex take 3+. Lean on more Carnifex depending if you want them to be your armies main focus or just a support unit. At 1200-ish points 2 or 3 is a good number of Carnifex to have.

I take mine in sets of 2's. Two Screamer Killers, two Dakkafex, two Venomfex, etc. but I use them as support for my bigger bugs and typically work them in the center of the board to be big scary targets my opponent has to shoot or they'll cause lots of damage.

I just noticed that Carnifex Brood is available on the GW webstore (at least in Europe).
