Well I bit the bullet (no pun intended) and bought it. Had to clear my cache though on my browser cause I was stuck on the Eldar-mode GW. Also PayPal appears to be having some issues today.
Yeeah Im a bit split on this ..I love the Eversor and Culexus amazing modells ..the Callidus is fine ..but I dont like the boatrop for hair ..but that a easy fix
the Vindicare ..he look ok but Im disappointed, its so close to the original modell ..and he looks well old sculpt, I experted more from a master sniper then just ..standing
the old model with the ork skull is way better
And the price ..a bit much for 4 new modell a game (maybe its fun how knows..) but maby I will play it one time to ..
I feel the price is a bit steep on this one.
Im really interested in seeing how they balance the dynamic in this though. Fluff and 40k rules wise 4 assassines Vs a chaos lord, 3 marines and some cultists should be an utter slaughter. Im assuming the board and "events" play a big part in twarting the assassins / making it harder for them.

Not really. As seen in various books, not least the Night Lords, 2-3 Chaos Marines (no Terminator, no Cultists) are a fair match for 1-2 Assassins. If anything, it puts CSM back up a bit to where they should be, but arent in regular 40K due to game-play reasons.
And by the same benchmark, there're plenty of fluff examples of just a combat squad (or less) of Space Marines (in Power Armour, even Scout Armour) slaughtering dozens or even hundreds of genestealers. 20 Genestealers vs. 10 Blood Angels 1st Company veterans + Mephiston is far more laughable than this set up.
Also it's likely the gameplay recycles the enemies, I'd expect a rule that limits movement with enemies present, so no Space Hulk style conga lines of enemies chasing the assassins through rooms.
Eversor, Vindicare, Callidus, Culexus. Fear these names, for they are death made manifest. Assassins all, they have been deployed to halt the work of the Sorcerer known as Severin Drask. They are the Assassinorum: Execution Force. Their mission, Operation Deathblow.
Assassinorum: Execution Force is a self-contained boxed game, complete with everything you need to play, including four beautiful new Assassin miniatures, available for the first time in plastic. Designed for up to four players, you are the Execution Force sent to hunt down and kill the Sorcerer Lord Drask. Along the way you’ll have to silence heretics, avoid patrols, battle your way past fanatical zealots and, should the need arise, take on the dreaded Chaos Space Marines. Nail biting, exciting, brilliant fun and, dare I say it, hilarious when things go wrong, this is one boxed game you cannot miss out on. Click on the link below to order your copy. While you’re there, pick up a copy of the accompanying novella and audio drama by Joe Parrino, both of which are excellent stories and great inspiration for your own games.
I also still only see Eldar, so I guess it hasn't. Kind of a bummer, as I'll be at a wedding all day and won't be able to order till later tonight. Hope this doesn't sell out like space hulk.

2014 Space Hulk is still available in stores, so there's probably no fear of missing this out.
I'm really into board games (currently XCOM the board game and Pandemic: On the Brink are the two I'm frequenting).
I've not managed to find out much about this game. It looks pretty with the models and tiles to play on - does anyone know about the rules of play?
I'm ignoring the cost (which is typically high for GW) as I'm likely able to get it elsewhere for less - I'm more interested in if it's an actual challenge and a tactical game that requires skill!

I don't think there is much gameplay information, outside of what White Dwarf has shown.

The White Dwarf scans hint at some of the way it's played but there's nothing concrete.
I was kind of hoping the video GW released would be a bit more informative.

I wish vindicare were in a more active pose too, but I would have bought the 4 individual models at some point anyways, and the Chaos lord is a nice model, so I'll take one from my store's allocation

Clear your browser's cache, it should appear with the assassin stuff.
Automatically Appended Next Post: The Paint Splatter hint for next week is "Large armour plates"
If anyone was feeling put out that the Assassin's dataslate had been replaced by free WD rules, I've just recieved an e-mail from GW stating that you can reload an updated dataslate.
Hmmmm, both of the independent retailers that I use have this up for pre-order but with no discount. Would such a matter be under direct advice from GW?
I was ready to buy it at 20% off, but £75 may be a bit rich for me (again apologies to those in the ROTW to whom this may seem like a humble price brag).
Also are both the assassins and CSM appear to be on 32mm.

The two FLGS's that I usually frequent have them at their usual discounts, and AFAIK, they are regular trade prices -- though might be limited allocations for the first week.
The just released halo battle fleet game is up for £64. Packed full of minitures, 49 in all!
But that's not why I'm not buying this, we know GW are expensive. This game was not what I was after from GW I was looking more for an inquisitor or necrumunda type with multiple missions and and settings. This is a one trick pony with a single setting and mission. I would be bored of it in a month.
Big pass for me as it seems like there is only one scenario [even if it is split into multiple missions], plus the price for what you get in the box makes me far more inclined to spend my money elsewhere. A Necromunda/Blood Bowl repack? Would be all over that like a tramp on chips.

Should save some from having to buy the WD?
What changed?
No idea, I never bought the Dataslate. It was just mentioned in the Digital Editions e-mail I received.
Reading the White Dwarf just now, this game sounds like a lot of fun! I like how the Eversor can screw gak up by alerting everyone when he goes nuts lol.
Eight quid for delivery though. Unless it's close enough for you to collect, that is. I went with GW because when I ordered Space Hulk from them I got a sweet print with it, so vaguely hoping for some freebies. Plus I wanted to mail order the white dwarf anyway so that would've been like £6... add that to the £65ish with delivery from third parties and it basically stopped being worth it

I love the idea of "Achievements" there. It adds another element of replay if you just keep pulling new people into playing it.

I got one of those prints too!
It was a nice freebie.
It helped ease the wallet pain a bit of buying straight from GW, And while no discount, you got the print and free shipping. With just a tiny bit of trimming, I got the print framed nicely, and it hangs by my hobby work table now.

Judging from the lmited gameplay and rules from the White Drawf. I would say this game relies more on luck (dice rolling, ramdon event cards, random room cards) than skills placement of models, taking calcualted risk.
The game rules seem to be in paralle with Wizards of the Coasts's D&D boardgames, Castle of ravenloft etc.
I might jump into this game as well for the 40K setting and models, and I like to support GW for making standalone games as I can't afford its warhammer gaming anymore.

I added WD65 to my Dark Sphere order for £1.80 with no increase in postage...
I sure that there will some defence of the price, people comparing it to FFG games and their high cost. The thing is though, they aren't stand alone systems. Ok you pay a high price for a starter set, but that's the key word "starter". You're not paying for a a one off, that's it system, they are expandable and if it's you're thing, there are tournies as well.
Slightly OT, but in the same vein, I saw a copy of Dreadfleet being played at the weekend. First time I'd ever seen it. What an amazing play mat. Can't understand why GW didn't sell these on their own.

Wasn't aware you could get WD from third parties. That's interesting. Still, £64, rather than £75, and rather than £56. Always good to be clear with the numbers, don't want to mislead people.
£75 seems excessive for a game this size. agree if it was £40-£50 it would be a little easier to swallow. Again though -WHY LIMITED EDITION???? Remember when you could go into GW and browse boardgames?
The boardgame industry works largely on word of mouth; you go to a gameing club or friends house, you play a game you really enjoy and then you go out and buy it for yourself. Again another limited edition box aimed at making a quick buck; will never be supported with new modules or add-ons. Such a shame they don't just let Fantasy Flight handle this stuff now...
Well for once this seems a bit rich for my taste, im a fan of those miniatures but I dont want to buy a game i will never play just to get them, pretty sure they will be out again at some point anyway.
Price is high, but that is like saying water is wet where GW is concerned, I just feel the whole thing is underwhelming.
Old chaos models that you can get for peanuts on ebay from the dark vengeance boxes, and some assassins that are just, to me, not that good at all.
Certainly not models that are 'have to have' anyway.
It may be a good game, but the problem here is that their track record means I won't give the benefit of the doubt, and by the time reviews appear and tell me if it is any good or not, I probably wont be able to get the thing anyway.
GW marketing, it seems to exist only to shoot itself in its own foot.

The joke is GW has no marketing as far as people will buy what we make.
Just pre-ordered off Dark Sphere for 56.25 for the game and 3.80 for delivery; which is very reasonable for DS.
Looking forward to getting my hands on the new Assassins, I also need more Cultist to get my Chaos army up and running so happy days. Oh and a new game to play with my Nephews, can't forget that.
I ll pass... Honnestly the assassin minis are not THAT tempting... And, quote: "On top of these, you get fifteen Chaos Cultists, three Chaos Space Marines, a Chaos Familiar and a Chaos Space Marine Terminator Sorcerer"... It is not that good a bargain for 75 pounds... Though the game should be fun it is not worth it IMO. I will save it for the next WHR40K add-on box...
Looking at this closer, it honestly sounds like a Chainsaw Warrior board game with assassins. The game is timed, random rooms, events, enemies and even the cards look similar
Still, it's one review, and not based on actual play. Worst comes to the worst I can always keep the rooms to add to my array of Zone Mortalis indoor terrain...
Got my copy of the Assassins game yesterday.
Bought it mostly for the assassins minis - however they were nowhere near as good as I had thought (hoped).
Basically GW see s to have shifted from heroic scale to true scale, meaning minis that look really good on pics/internet but fail to deliver on the gaming table and with tiny limbs that makes conversions and simple reposing almost impossible (i.e. Malifaux, Infinity, etc.)
Extremely fiddly (>10 pieces each) to put together and with a lot of very fine details that will not survive regular game play.
Will try to post pics of the new assassins next to the classic ones soon. IMHO they (GW) have managed to make some of their most detailed minis ever - but still the old ones are simply better :(
Nope- got all my models Yay. The assassins are really nice! Chaos Terminator Lord is always a welcome sight kit wise.. To be honest the only models where they dropped the ball are the snap fit Chaos Marines from yonks ago.
I can use all of those models- brother gets more Cultists(as if he needed any more!)and ANOTHER Lord to play around with. I get some badass assassins. WIN all around IMO. The board is quite nice, though not quite in the same league as Space Hulk stuff. I got some wound counters out of it too as well as the unique ability counters for Assassins.
Disappointed. It sounds like it has all the polish and none of the substance of something like Space Hulk.
I have no doubt the tiles, artwork, simple ruleset and minitures are decent quality, it was the same with SH, DF et al but the whole randomness thing turns me off quite a bit as does the mono starting setup.
I can picture a team of assassin players working really well together, coordinating their plans, nearing the kill shot, all for it to end on a roll of a D6 as they fall out an airlock or something

(Something tells me they learned their lesson from previous experiences with the insane-cost LE books just sat there with hundreds remaining)
With 5 of the things being dumped on my FLGS and none of them moving as they sit there beginning to gather dust next to Space Hulk and a copy of Dreadfleet of all things I dare say GW haven't learned anything.
I picked a copy of the game up. It looks OK (haven't played yet -- still assembling the minis). I suspect it'll make a nice intro to the setting for potential new players, especially younger ones.
Minis are fine. The new assassin sculpts are lovely obviously, the cultists are great minis as you all know (as is the Terminator Lord), and the three basic CSM look all right with backpack / bolter swaps with some of my spare DV Chosen. Seems like a reasonable deal all told. I'm looking forward to trying out the assassin formation in the next tournament.

This is what makes GW so frustrating. Nice idea, terrible execution (pun intended). Make a nice intro game for potential new players, but include models that are made up of 10 fiddly parts, and slap a £75 price tag on it.
OK so I picked up my copy of this on Monday but have only recently just had a chance to have a proper look and play around with it.
So I got the game from my local independent (Dark Sphere) so didn't pay full price for it - got 25% off so £57.
For that price I don't think it's too bad - the 4 assassin models will probably be about £15-18 each when released so I reckon I get the game for free.
The assassin models are lovely and the fact you don't have to use the scenic base parts is a nice touch.
The other models - I was very disappointed that these were not new models, and I already have way more cultist models than I would ever want but in all fairness to GW you do get a fair amount of models in this game - it's just a shame they are a bit dull (IMHO).
The game - the production quality of the components is high. When I saw the photos in WD I was disappointed that there are only 3 card board sections. However the way the random rooms fit on the board is quite clever, not seen this mechanic elsewhere and it works well.
The card etc are nice and the rulebook is pretty clear and concise.
However the game itself so far just seems a bit "meh".
I am already bored of counting the number of squares between models, not including walls and diagonals that are actually quite hard to see (this game would work so much better in 3D).
And there are all the status activations - this guy is alert if this but not this blah blah blah.
In all honesty it feels very clunky, and not the board game of Metal Gear Solid that they were trying to create.
Maybe once the rules become more ingrained in my head it will be fun - but for new gamers I don't think this will be a fun game, unless you like counting squares....
So not terrible - but I reckon the main reason for buying this would be the assassin models, the game is OK but not great, but if like me you think of it as a freebie that comes with the assassins it's not so bad.
For that price I don't think it's too bad - the 4 assassin models will probably be about £15-18 each when released so I reckon I get the game for free.
When its stated like that, its crystal clear just how obscene GW prices are for pieces of small plastic. £15-18 EACH!
I have similar feelings StraightSilverMade. The game itself isn't bad at all. It's pretty good. Some clunky stuff, but the production quality is high and the experience of playing co-op is good... but it's not tight enough and the balance seems slightly off.
It goes without saying the minis are excellent - incredibly detailed and IMHO worth it.
I used to play with the Assassins in my 40k games way back when, so it's great to field them with minis that look like they belong in 2015.

There are all sorts of thing in this world that are only small pieces of plastics that are well over £15

But the prices sure are getting big.
I just think it's crazy how quickly people became so casual about it.
"Oh it's only $30 for a guy, that's not so bad." That's insane!! Ten-man squads used to cost that much! The metal characters used to be HALF that price!!
Got my copy last night and assembled all the minis. I have played 40k for over 15 years and have to say that their plastic minis are looking fantastic! All four assassins look great, and the "large feet" problem isn't so bad in real life when you have the minis in hand. The terminator sorcerer is as great as always (I cut mine up further as I love customs and conversions). I have no issues with the cultists (always good to have more), however the three chaos marines are a bit bland. I have already made plans to use DV chaos marines who are more decorated and in action poses.
I played my first game today. As for gameplay, I LOVE the cooperative style (like zombicide, it's great for a group of friends or if you have kids). I had read the poor reviews of this and thought it was going to be too simple or boring, but the game was a blast! If you are not careful the cultists can make your day bad in a jiffy, and the sorcerer... well his multimelta cut down two of my assassins, with his staff killing poor torq :( I ended up winning but not by much!
The game is great for a quick game in the 40k universe with set up time of less than two minutes. The room mechanics is actually cool. I did have an issue with the cost of the game (got it at a discount, under $120), however I looked at the prices of all minis involved just like GW's other boxed starter or campaign sets ($25 each plastic assassin clam pack, $30 terminator lord, $15-20 of cultists, and some cheap chaos marines from the paint set = approx. $150 of minis. The boards are far better than my space hulk 3rd and 4th edition tiles, and the cards tokens, and rooms are all done in great quality (tokens have a plastic feel to them... far better than any cardboard tokens).
I for one am very satisfied with my purchase and hope GW makes more mini games like this as 40k itself is getting too diluted and hyper inflated (esp when they remake codex books every year or so - eldar, imperial knights, etc).

Yes, you have some with CCWs and Autopistols and some with Autoguns.
The sprues they give you in the box are the same as the $15 box, which contains both Autopistol/CCW and Autoguns.
It gives you one card for each type of enemy though.
My FLGS has one in stock. Picked it up. Drooled over the models. Then remembered all of the fething games in my house I don't get to play now, plus 200+ miniatures sitting unpainted from Reaper Bones I and Bones II.
Put it back on the shelf. I'll have to let this one go.

Nice to see a positive review of it to be fair.
Do you find the randomness of it adds or detracts? Is it wildly random or just a few events?
So this is kind of cool, I'd like to get the cultists, Terminator Sorceror and obviously the Assassins, but more than that I want the game. I like co-op board games and I think this could be fun. So I went on eBay to see if I could get a fairly cheap set (so far no real luck, lowest buy it now set was $110) but I found someone selling just the game for $1 if I get it that would actually be great as I have plenty of Spec Ops and evilness miniatures from Infinity, Dark Age and now Maelstrom's Edge and Human Interface Nakamura Tower Kickstarters that'll be ending soonish. Sure it won't be the same as the much touted fancy plastic 40k Assassins, but I'm mostly in it for the game, and having another game to play with miniatures I already have for only a couple dollars would be great. I won't bid anymore on it if someone bids against me, but if I get the board game without the miniatures it would still be great. If I do lose it, I'll just buy the full game for myself and take the hit to the wallet lol.
I'm pretty sure a call to GW would end satisfactorily for you (try the retailer first if not GW).
Bad luck though chap, is it just the game in a box or was there more protection than that?
Back on topic, more opinions of he rules would be great for those that have given it a spin. Single player on this interests me so if anyone has had a play through of that I'd love to know how you rate it.
Well I'd say someone fethed up bad here.. and it's not GW.
Looking at that kind of damage, it was handled very, very rough.
Putting a cardboardbox around it is sufficient for the type of contents - nothing prone to breaking in it.
This looked like someone shoved it with full force into a mailbox. Really trying hard to damage it. The box itself is quite heavy and firm, so to get this kind of damage you actually HAVE to try.

Just buy the 4 metal assassins from GW for $15 (maybe, they are £9.50) each and the cultists from eBay. It'll give you essentially the same game for half the price, and your assassins won't look so derpy.
I mean on top of the "game only" set he's found in eBay for $1. Lots of people will be buying this for the assassins and trying to get rid of the rest.
Got an email back from GW. They're sending a replacement via Fedex at no cost. Don't have to send back the beat up game. Say what you will about their rules, their customer service is still top notch!

Result! Now you can field 2 Execution Force detachments lol.

fethed up. They sent me my missing Callidus - hooray - I put it all together today and minor gripe, they didn't give me enough bases either, although I've got plenty lying around.
I've had a go at the game now and I like it - nice design, isn't going to set the world on fire but definitely enjoyable. I don't think I'd recommend it to boardgame fans but for people who also want the models for 40k it's a nice bonus.

Sounds like you won out there as the Chaos marines included are rubbish. finding someone who can trade you 3 more appropriate models should be easy enough. I'm going to use some DV Chosen myself.
Vindicare, Eversor, Culexus, and... another Culexus!?
