I love the Land raider one becuase they used the wrong land raider. They said Crusader, but they put a Godhammer in the picture.

It's based upon sales.

For something like two to three weeks straight after their release, Devastators were out of stock on the webstore.

I get than impression when I look at the photography in the Space Marine book. If you look at the Techmarine dataslate (where his point cost is an everything) you'll notice that, in the picture above, someone forgot to photoshop the translucent blocks that the servitors were standing on. Bright green and yellow doesn't exactly mix with the urban background

and a rare chance to see if the 'new shiney' really does overwhelm the 'useful in the game' factor for the minis too

do we see any AoS stuff (except the starter) ?

do we see any legacy fantasy stuff ?

are any of the older 40K kits still selling well (or is it only ebay re-sellers that make money from them)?


getting a glimpse of this info helps us to speculate over what GW should do next (and the might even do it too with their brand new attitude)

This is what I'm going to find interesting. Of course, since we don't actually have access to GW's definition of "most popular" or their raw numbers, it could all be easily massaged. But surely, they can't not throw a bunch of AoS in the top ten, right? What would it say about their new game if little of it makes their own internal poll?

I bought the Glottkin. And the Blight Knights in the big Nurgle box set. But that's it. Couple crusaders years ago, before the price went pants-on-head.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Nice ranking if based on sales.
I'm eager to see what items become top three.
Tactical squad, Imperial Knight, and whatnot.

It's pretty much one of the best kits still out there. It's Chaos but without being on pants on head slowed mutation.

Good to see the Harlequins have an entry,

hopefully this will help more nostalgia focused releases in the future

No adeptus mech yet. There were what about 10 kits between the two 'codexes'? I wonder if they'll all place. Or any?

I wonder if any Age of Sigmar or fantasy (barring End Times) will place?

I'm guessing Tac Squad, Knight and Skitarii for top 3. Eldar Jetbikes in top 5, maybe Wraithknight too. Harlequin Troupe top 10. Rhino/Razorback/Drop Pod too. A couple of the Tau kits.

I think it's unlikely but as they have some of the big End Time models on the list we might still see something like Skarbrand.

Somewhere in south-central England.

I should think the AoS starter set will do pretty well in the rankings. I reckon it must have sold well due to the shiney newness and the value proposition of the figures.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.
