Strike Squad of 10 models to match the Tactical and CSM squads and SW Pack? I'll take that assuming they keep the 5 man squad.
Codex...meh. The rumour up their about Draigo making Paladin squads of 4+ Troop still calms my nerves. Just checked my gaming group's Facebook page and we've agreed giving the new way Codexes are going with the "big cheese" character getting LoW that they are allowed. So Draigo, Logan, Ghaz are ok Assuming this rumour about squads of 4+ is true, I'll be content. Assassin minidex annoys me still, don't want any digital things clogging up my phone to get lost when I replace it in a year's time, especially if ePubs are as bad as they say.

Won't read the Omnibus or Sanctus Reach or buy the Cards though. Might get WD.

I can confirm this rumour,my FLGS let me know that this is available starting August 23 (preorders starting this saturday)

The 10 man strike squad is just a 'value box' containing what was previously in 2 boxes at a 10% discount.

more info on the SW squads:
SPACE WOLVES SKY CLAWS (€29): A new great value box containing 5 sky claws. Sky Claws are the Space Wolves Assault Squad. Previously you had to buy a Space Wolves Pack box and a Space Marine Assault Squad to create these miniatures. This box does not contain new content, but it a combination of box contents.

SPACE WOLVES LONG FANGS (€29): A new great value box containing 5 Long Fangs. Sky Claws are the Space Wolves Devastator Squad. Previously you had to buy a Space Wolves Pack box and a Space Marine Devastator Squad to create these miniatures. This box does not contain new content, but it a combination of box contents.

I hope it is false. I like my GK codex just fine and don't feel like being taxed another $50 to play the game a few times a year. And predators and whirlwinds are the last thing that fits the GK theme.

This is exactly how I felt as an IG player.

A 10 man repack is cool for convenience sake but being the same price of buying 2 5 man boxes it seems incredibly salty. Thats approaching SoB range of troop choice prices.

Edit, spelling derp.

Are we sure they don't just mean that new segment by Phil Kelly called Codex Apocrypha? Isn't that just a focus on one random unit or some such? And this one is daring us to read all about the Dreadknight? Seems more likely than back-to-back weekly codex releases tbh...

SW boxed set doesn't look too bad, plenty of GH sprues to mix around and get some decent setups.

There are a lot of pages to go through...any news of what models in the GK vs Daemon box? Daddy needs a ton of bloodletters and daemonettes for his KoW abyssal army. And I'd be able to sell off special characters.

So, not even a Sanctus Reach box set with a cool new GK model like a Librarian, it seems? At least, not this week.

How do these boxes work?

The Skyclaw one might work 'cause GW would undoubtedly still have the moulds for the single Jump Packs, so they could throw five of them into the box. However, the Long Fangs would be a little harder. I can't remember the layout of the Devastator sprue, but aren't the heavy weapons all jumbled up with the Marines? Unless, that is, they plan on selling a Devastator box and throwing this thing into it, which would be really lame.

Gonna laugh when the "it was just an accident!" Leaks turn out to be true. And the condescending tone of the GW fan squad, whom we don't hear a peep from in threads containing the facts of the matter regarding the health of GW as a company (poor) all rally on what little ground it left.


Having more books ripped apart helps no one and turns more people off. And Leth, your signature is hilarious; as if someone has to be buying something to have an educated opinion on it. That sounds woefully pretentious and illogical. And for the record, I play far more than Warmachine.

Yeah, the Heavy Weapons are jumbled up with the Marines. I could see these being a kind of "splash release" box and going away in a few months time.

Devastator box has three sprues, two for weapons/arms, one for bodies, so it can work just fine.

So you've got to make a full 3-frame set of Dev sprues, then break off the weapon one to slot into along side a complete Wolf sprue?

They can then sell the bodies separately and undoubtably it WILL sell. Think of how many weapons and bits you have in your box but no chests or legs to put them on?

Sell the bodies separately... where?

It's entirely possible that the Marine body part can be left off in the casting process.

Or they could go the terrain route and have underpaid interns sit there and cut sprue for you (at extra cost)

Joking aside, id be prettttty miffed if assassins got split, unless they got extremely cool buffs and updates.

Online? ~£0.50 for box materials for the tiny amount of sprue. £0.00 for the unpaid intern to take the picture of 5 Space Marine models on a mirrored surface and black blackground and copy and paste onto the back of the box with the disclaimer "Arms and weapons shown not included" in size 0.01 print. 1 Day to make, cost next to nothing extra and then sell the bodies for £12 and the Long Fangs for £30.

You're giving GW way too much credit. Not only do they not think like that, they couldn't care less if people have extra parts laying around that their useless waste sprues would help.

thats odd.... when assasins were rolled INTO the GK codex in the first place, people were upset about that as well.

 Kanluwen wrote:

I doubt it. Frames are cast and then broken up to fit into the box. Only in larger boxes do you get the complete un-broken sprues (like the Mek Mob box, which has the new Meganob sprues all as a single piece... along with everything else in that box).

 easysauce wrote:

If only that were true. The Assassins were never "rolled into" a Grey Knight Codex. There was the Daemon Hunter Codex, and then there was the Grey Knight Codex. Both had Assassins, and both had Grey Knights. The two unit types have been joined at the hip for a decade now, and prior to that there never was a Grey Knight Codex.

you obviously were not around for codex assasins....

it was a thing,

it got rolled into the DH/GK codex, this is a fact, making what used to be takable in any imperial army, only takable with GK allies.

go back far enough, and players complain about both sides of the coin to everything GW does, too slow releases? peopel complain, too fast? people complain. Include special characers in "vanilla 50k" people complain... take any SC's out of the game... people complain.

No, but they do care about money. If GW sold separate bodies, people would 100% buy to use their spare bits. Guarenteed cash for no additional cost.

I for one welcome the change back to 3rd edition days when you could field an assassin in an IG or Space Marine army.

Whilst it will be annoying to pay for Codex:Assassins, this is definitely an improvement. I always hated when Imperial Assassains and Inquisitors were married to Grey Knights, making it impossible to use them without the GK. It made no bloody sense whatsoever.

Codices for single or few units are annoying though, and Inq codex was a sad copy-paste-job (and they did not fix the Inquisitors not having access to any sorts of force fields, yes, I'm still bitter about that.) I am afraid that Assassin codex will be similarly uninspired, and Vindicare will remain only usable assassin type. They should make Codex: Agents of the Imperium, that would contain, Inquisitors, Assassins, Arbites and all those other fluffy and interesting individuals and organisation that have too little stuff for full army on their own, but would make good allies to other Imperial factions.
