Didn't see this announced anywhere yet...

I'm getting the backpack and Vortex Grenade template.  You?

I never knew the vortex grenade was made of tin, unless it is another infamous GW typo.

About time. I've been waiting to see what would be cheaper - US Online Store or Maelstrom Games.

I preordered the backpack at my GW store, and just put an order in for a few grenade templates. Don't know how many we may see in battle.. at $10 each, it's worth it for a few.


Also FYI. The Chaos large boxed set came with the Apocalypse vehicle upgrade sprue, which has the zainy defiler head.

Stores have been accepting orders for weeks now. Their webmaster is just one hamster... they need a gerbil.

Buying the Apocalypse Rulebook from my local GW store - AUD$95.
Buying the Apocalypse Rulebook from the US Online Store - AUD$59.

One wonders why you would buy anything from this country. I mean, I can get the book and the templates + shipping for less than just buying the book here.

I wish they'd hurry up and put the Phalanx up for pre-order. I need to know how much it'll be.

Buy the back pack from the US store. Better stuff inside.

And order the backpack early. They did a large amount for the US, but it's a great item, and quite likely to sell out.

The main difference for me is the tin of dice and the backpack. I don't really want either of those two items, just the template and book. I can get that for less money, so why bother?

I got me a backpack, but depending on how popular they are, it may end up on eBay.  I found a messenger bag at Target last year with a two-headed eagle on it, so I've been using that.

Hello:

Acutally I'm hairy enough to be a badger. We can only post Advanced Orders 4 weeks ahead of the release of the product due to various technical reasons with our systems. Trust me, we would offer them earlier if we could.

Thanks,

Thanks, Rich! Can't wait for that Mycetic Swarm set to go up on pre-order.
