If it has what people are saying it has, I will definitely be getting a box just for myself. Will probably make it up as a Crimson Fists army instead of Imperial Fists and mix the tactial squads in with my existing army for more variation. If true, this set basically took care of my Gladius Strike Force problem (not enough tactical squads).

Trying to say this with out stepping on toes.... But I THINK what he is refering to is that the recasts of the basic HH marines are some of the 1st things that come up during casual searches on some websites. But I think this has more to do with search terms, and that the larger items you need to contact the recasters directly to get ahold of.
But you are correct that they bassicly do a blanket approach, and even recast larger more expensive GW plastic kits for the undercut.

Seriously? Someone rescast a Warlord Titan? LOL.
I would not have thought so, just because how many people actually want to buy one (even cheap...er) >.<

Of course they did. Shouldn't be too surprising and as usual it's around a third of the price.

I'm somewhat torn, I kind of want Horus Heresy to do badly because I want GW to focus on something that isn't Space Marines/Sigmarines for once.
If the Sigmarines sell well and HH sells well it feels like only a matter of time GW can rebrand their stores once again, from "Warhammer" to "Space Marines 'R' Us".

To be honest, I like the idea of purely playing with Marines for once. I don't know how to describe it. It feels like if all that effort is going to go towards marines, at least it should be marine vs marine combat.

If I had a 15,000 sq ft house, I guess I would want one But if I had a 15,000 sq ft house, I probably wouldn't care about the price all that much and would get FW to strap one onto a carrier pigeon and fly it over ASAP.

This happens to me regularly - this is why they should hype things properly (see: how WotC or Privateer Press does things). I end up wanting multiple things at first, but then 1 or none later due to no real information until BAM! - it's out.

On the other hand, FFG does stuff so far ahead that it is easy to forget about the new stuff when it finally comes out. I am still waiting for the Imperial Raider I preordered like 8 months ago, and we already know what is in Wave 7 AND 8, and the next Epic ship coming out.
Hope here is more to this first HH wave. Too bad noone has leaked the Contemptor or Cataphractii Terminators.

Which is why I'm approaching the notion of plastic Contemptors and Cataphractii (beyond the character) with caution and a shaker full of salt. I WANT those to be true, but...

I cannot wait for these - two of these box sets takes my existing marine allies to 'full army' status!
Even if the set is £100 i think it would be totally worth it considering the minatures you're rumoured to get.
I'll be throwing away whatever rules come with it; unless it's the Legion Little Red Book in softback - then i'll have lots of GW branded humble-pie to eat.

Another few reasons had occurred to me, on why those two legions.
They have a well known grudge
Both are pretty popular subsets of their particular codices for 40k
And, neither really changed their colors or heraldry from the time of the heresy, which will make them easier to relate to for those who aren't familiar with the heresy era, whereas a lot of the other legions did.

If they really do have a Contemptor, along with all the stuff pictured...and even moreso if the rumors of a Cataphractii squad are also true, I'll be buying at least three boxes. The damage to my bank account will be at a ridiculous level.
