Yeah... I need to figure out whether to order from GW for 200 CDN+tax or if 165- 25% X 35% exchange + possible customes and shipping... probably best to just order from GW :(

I'll probably go thru the warstore. 5% more off isn't worth getting it 2 weeks after its out from Frontline since I've had issues getting things in a reasonable amount t of time from them.

Not a pre-order but I'll probably be picking up from one of the better ebay dealers like I did with BaC. If Miniature Market were still carrying GW I'd go with them.
And when I say I'll be picking up, I mean the missus will be buying it for my birthday like she bought BaC for Christmas. I'm hosed if GW come out with anything cool between March and Christmas 2016

I'll be buying it from my FLGS. Only 15% but he has been good to me over the years, getting me things like the limited plasma obliterator when it came out. He's the only reason I'm still buying the new Waaagh Ghaz. I told him to order me one before I heard about how trash it is, so too late now.
I wonder how snapfit they are- plug an play like DV, or monopose on sprues and requiring glue like clampack characters?

If they are not snapfit, it is incredibly likely that the miniatures will be halfways customizable. I am expecting them to be essentially all designed like the clam pack miniatures, which is actually pretty good compared to snapfit.
If they are like clam pack, the marines are likely to have their shoulder pauldrons as separate pieces, which would allow people to convert these to regular marines for use in other armies fairly easily. I am torn as to what I would do if that was the case. On one hand, I actually do want to make a Deathwatch force, but on the other hand, I would probably only use the Librarian and the small squad. This would leave me Cassius, the WS Biker, the BA Assault Marine, RG Vanguard Veteran, and the Salamander Terminator to customize.
But to be honest, one of the major perks of this whole boxed set, at least for me, is the ability to make all sorts of characters from Chapters I don't play. Unfortunately, the Deathwatch color scheme doesn't do a whole lot for me. I may move the black to just the left arm, the silver to the left shoulder pauldron, and make all of the rest the normal chapter colors.

Ultramarines contribute more marines to the Deathwatch than any other chapter. 'Cause y'know, Ultramarines are the best! Lol. Actually I'd say it's because they hate Tyranids so much (see; Tyrannic war). Though this doesn't make any sense for this game since it's set before the invasion of Ultramar.

Can the Warstore even ship to Canada any more since the changes to the trade agreements?
Also the Warstore's Shipping rates to canada can be prety killer TBH.

I would be surprised if they weren't interchangeable. It seems like GW has made a bit of an effort to make their clam pack miniatures not completely mono-pose.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal |

If you are in it for the marines, no real reason to pick up more than one imo.
The only model I might use is Cassius as a baseline Chaplain in my SM Battle Company. Maybe a few of the others, but since I haven't even cracked open my Space Hulk... >.>

Actually dark angels and crimson fists contribute the most, at least according to old articles and ffg.
The price tag for this game has put me right off, id rather buy another boc set than this, much better value.

That's....very interesting. Their strange not quite snap fit nature looks like it'll be conversion heaven for those wanting to do multiple units - just a SM bits box needed to go nuts.
I want to see the Stealer Cult stuff though. Might be in luck with a sale so may have money- was going to put a huge chunk to 30k shinies but part of me SO wants to do a Stealer Cult....

And that DW Termy pad is about to become another very sought after bit.
