Stormclaw is the second instalment in the Sanctus Reach Campaign, and continues the narrative begun in Sanctus Reach: The Red Waaagh! It tells the tale of the blood-soaked battle between Wolf Lord Krom Dragongaze and Warlord Grukk Face-rippa.

This multi-part plastic boxed set contains two forces - Orks and Space Wolves and two never before seen plastic character models: Krom Dragongaze and Grukk Face-rippa.

The Space Wolves Force includes: Krom Dragongaze, 1 Space Wolf Pack of 10 miniatures and 5 Wolf Guard Terminators.

The Ork Force includes: Grukk Face-rippa, 5 Ork Nobz, 3 Killa Kans and 10 Gretchin with a Runtherd.

The 32 page Stormclaw Campaign Supplement contains three missions that use the miniatures in the box and details the bloody confrontation between Grukk and Krom as they clash on the Blistered Isle. There are also Datasheets for every unit in the box including Grukk and Krom, plus two new Formations.

The boxed set also includes a handy small-format paperback edition of Warhammer 40,000: The Rules.

This is a limited quantity product - ensure you don’t miss out by ordering your copy today.


Its of great value, isn't it? And a rule book is included which was denied by the rumors.

What I'm complaining is that its a limited edition.

My complaint is that I'd have to buy the box set to get the mini rulebook, or wait until they show up on eBay.

I just want a small rulebook. No strings attached, just sell me the small rulebook.

The is good value though. If there were more of these sets for all the factions, I'd be a lot happier.

Then wait. It's not a big deal. Who knows, when the small rule book is on sale 8th edition will be just right around the corner.

As for people complaining it's limited, that is a sales tactic. It increases more impulse buys. I wasn't going to get one, but then thought, OMG, it's limited time, I need to get it. Then I realized it's not really that important and if I don't get it, I don't get it. There will be so many more to come.

Problem I think now is, if, GW keeps releasing these limited runs, we will get so use to them, will we really care afterwards? Right now it's new and exciting, I am sure we will get use to it and not care afterwards. Just look at Gork and Mork. When it was released we the community didn't really get excited for it did we? Mind you price and rules played a big factor into it, but then again, Imperial Knights had crappy rules and price and the community was so excited for that.

So will we care for these releases with more price increases in the future?

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Great if you want SW or Orcs

if you don't hit up the second hand market for the book and/or campaign (which will show up there)

and because there is not (a lot) new in terms of models I'm sure we'll see more campaign sets with different factions represented once this one sells out

I want it but the cost is not something that I'm willing to pay to have to try and sell the Space Wolves. Especially after buying a metric ton of Ork stuff.

I just would really want it for the new Facerippa model and the missions.

For me the 10 Grots and KKs let the Ork side down a lot.
I mean why not just bundle in 20 or 25 Grots to make it worthwhile? I think KKs got a big nerfbat too so cant see the appeal there.
The SW stuff is nice, love the Termy models and Lord.
Wouldnt be worth investing in for me though =/

Mini rulebook is cool but Ipad version handier.

*bursts though room with axe* HEEEAAARRRS JHONNY!!!

I would go in for it.. If it was not limited edition

Seriously this is what peeved me off about it, I wanted the Ork models and wanted to go half's with a friend, just for the Plastic Grukk model, however A) At this moment in time I do not have the cash and B ) I don't like this "Impulse buy, Impulse buy, Impulse buy" GW is trying to push with this set..

Also the fact that GW does not have a plastic Warboss model yet however this model would have been great for that purpose, yet its only limited edition... Are GW trying to remove finecast as I heard quite a few times?



Apart from that I'm just waiting out and see how much the Warboss mini will sell on Ebay..

I like it.

I think creating a bundle of units which ties in to recent or upcoming codexs is a good strategy.

Hope they do a Tau one and do a plastic version of shadowsun.

for the love of the god emperor, really? that's the lamest thing GW have ever done. I hope they extend the release of it. Maybe they've just sold out of the copies they have but the "we're selling this" window isn't closed?

I can still pre-order it on the GW site. Is it maybe sold out in the US?

Could be like the Militarum Tempestus or whatever it was called book, didn't that go "no longer available" for a while before coming back?

But yes. Now they'll think that limited releases are the best way to sell things, since they sell out almost instantly.

Yes, it's a limited edition.

No, no one has EVER brought out a limited edition item and then put it back on sale again sometime after the fact.

Clearly, this is just more absolute hard proof of the conspiracy.

These limited prints are pretty dumb. But I figure GW is just extremely cautious about their "hurry and buy now!" limited 7E fall-out that took months to actually sell through.

Just hurry out and grab this limited edition product, guys:

Making it limited edition is a bad idea, but that's the only complaint I really have. Well I guess I'd include Fenrisian Wolves, but that's just because I think Fenrisian Wolves are supercool.

If this is the next wave of GW marketing. I'm impressed. That was fast for a company. They saw rapid release alone doesn't do it. They started putting there money where their mouth is. Forge a Narrative. They talked it. Now they are doing it. Bravo gents.

Total side note. My FLGS asked me if I wanted to preorder. I considered then passed. Then 4 hours later regretted it called back.... They were done taking orders. They reached their limit. I'm a a-hole. SOB.... I want one.

If 7th and other GW shenanigans hadn't stopped me playing, I would have bought this despite not liking SWs and not having much interest in Orks. I like the idea of a stream of small good value campaign boxes and would happily build a number of small armies for multiple factions that I wouldn't otherwise consider especially if they gave the option of playing some narrative campaigns. As is however, with the rules as bad as they are I'd only consider these for modeling - and what's in the box is not of interest to me in that regard.

Related, it seems to have already sold out - another thing I dislike about GW is the constant limited quantities for whatever reasons - impulse buying, poor ability to estimate demand and so on.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, their financials are forging a completely different narrative. More in 11 days...

I find it weird they put a dude in power armor on a terminator sized base. Maybe he's compensating for a small frost weapon? Or his wolfy BO is just that potent?

Base size isn't always based on the size of the model, it's their ego and self-confidence.

Hrm. Is this limited edition stuff really that smart, I wonder? I mean, did people buy it because it was 'limited edition' or because it was a good value- I think its the latter. And if that's the case, they could have sold more (and made more profits) if it wasn't limited edition.

Seems like they put a lot of bad models in to the box. Foot HQs, WolfGuard Terminators , Killar Kans are all useless models. But the small rule book is something people will want to have. I guess the set will destroy the resell value of SW a lot.

I'm assuming they made it limited edition as a stopgap while the DV sets got updated with the small 7th rulebook. Either that or they wanted to reduce the risk from producing something new. I'm sure the profits took a bashing from Dreadfleet and The Hobbit.

Having said that it's damn good value, and when bought from a discounter is even better. Total Wargamer are doing it for £53.50 not including shipping [okay you'll probably have to wait for a month for it to arrive, but still]
