Interesting! I approve, though Necrons and marines are not that interesting to me - but I'd play it.

If it includes the necrons I'll give it a go, but if it is 5 marines vs tokens it's a bit of a bust.

it's the quiet ones you have to look out for. Their the ones that change the world, the loud ones just take the credit for it.

Who is the source of the information there won't be Necron models in it? Manchu? Did he talk to GW at the toy fair? Space Crusade and Space Hulk features radar blip tokens and also uses models when SM get LoS to them. Why would this be different? Seeing the Necron models on the side of the box set and following the conversations on Twitter where two of these photos came from there is nothing indicating the contents shown at the Toy Fair are not the actual content of the game. If there is information saying otherwise someone please provide a link.

It is interesting (and seems to me to indicate no necron models) that the necron cards feature art while the Marine cards have photos of the figs. The necron cards I see also have some warrior cards and only on immortal card

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity lasts forever.

Considering also your duty as a warrior you should not waver. Because there is nothing more auspicious for a warrior than a righteous war.

Yeah we can see the slot where the sprues go. We can see the Necron tokens on that sheet. We can see that the entire board seemingly consists of that one tile.

Box look too small to hold any more sprue beside the marine, after you put the cardboard on top of it.

Except you can see other tiles with the same edge design as the board underneath the token sheet at the bottom-right of the picture.

I would have though a tile-ophile like yourself would have better tile pattern recognition than that HBMC.

Underneath the token card and poking out the top I see at least two more tiles with similar "wall" illustrations.

edit: well I got ninja'd by quite a while...

The "Open Now" side of the box has the same space as the space marines, which could fit the necrons in.

How big are the necron sprues?

Have these games, and similar ones from GW, been any good?

Despite it not having Necron models, I am kind of interested in it.

I'm back!

Well, it does look like the Necrons are just tiles. Of course, chances are they'll stick a box of Necrons near the game as an 'expansion'.

Baffling that this is 'Regular Marine' and not Deathwatch...

It reminds me of assassionorium lookwise, and that one's plenty good for a few off games now and then.

Not that baffling when it's really a way to use the pre existing space marine heroes line.

Looks like a great introduction for kids.

Well, hopefully I can swap some shoulderpads out, at least.

If it's priced low enough it's a nice easy way to get people into 40k like Space Crusade was for me.

From the look of a quick Google, I don't think so. Easy enough to use other similarly armed DW models if it suits the game better for you though.

Oh, no I was going to use them to add into my other Space Marines. Having no insignia at all would be great.

I was going to bring in other Deathwatch Marines to this game, if it was worth playing.

Obviously there is nothing official, but anybody know how much this is likely to be? Have GW done anything similar before?

I'm trying to start up a lunch time games thing at work, this and the mini blood bowl might be ideal.

It is sad that it looks like just tiles, but if the price is decent...

Heh. "if the price is decent".

It'll probably be about $50.00, just a guess. That one gladiator game for AoS (I forget the name) was about the same price and came with 4 models and a bit less cardboard.

Yeah gorechosen, which was fun but kind of a dead end. 50$ is my guess as well.

Constantly being negative doesn't make you seem erudite, it just makes you look like a curmudgeon.

This game has very low content like Lost Patrol and therefore it is miles away from the likes of Space Hulk or Deathwatch. I won´t be buying this one.

Looks like the community site has confirmed that the Necrons will just be markers. Well, there goes my enthusiasm.

It's clearly a preview of what necrons will be like in 8th ed. On the bright side, getting cover saves denying LoS will be much easier

Nope, just speculation from earlier in the thread. I just said it'd be too bad if there were no Necron models in the box but I still might buy it.

Uh...yeah? Did you read the Community article? It's explicitly designed as a gateway product for kids. That's why they're previewing it at a toy fair.
