Ordered too.

Interestingly both characters are advertised as "only currently available in this set". A big hint to a future individual release?

Now I can go get some dinner!

I also notice that the codex and Sanguinary Priest is no-longer available.

Also Sanguinary Guard and Death Company boxes. Repackaging with 32mm bases?!

Oh and "Ordered" ;-)

GW basically came out and said they wouldn't do Smaug because of the fact that the scale required would make it huge.

Link?

I think you confuse "GW basically came out and said.." with "Random rumour-monger came out and claimed that GW said..."

Do you really think there's going to be a link to it?

But anyways, it's a stipulation of the contract with New Line Cinema that things be done in a "more realistic scale".

Do the math on Smaug's wingspan from the film. He would be almost as large as a ROB tile.

One would hope, but I cannot find the same language that was used for Stormclaw.

Ordered! Looking forward to next week!

Hope the codex rumours are true!

I think they said the same about Captain Agemann from Strike Force Ultra. He has yet to materialise, so I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.

Ordered two

I checked for the codex this morning and it was there. After the store update it is now gone from the US site as well.

Did anyone save pics of the Sanguinary Priest and codex that they can post?

They're referring to the current/soon to be outdated ones.

BTW,has anyone noticed that the carnifex is also on an oval base now?

Yeah, I am calling BS on a Blood Angels Tactical box. Their tactical squads are essentially the same as C:SM. This isn't like Space Wolves. It would be different if it was an Assault Squad box since they do use a lot of different, exclusive weapons.

Isn't that pretty much what the Death Company box already is?

No, Death Company is Death Company. It is covered in Death Company symbols. Unless they releases a New, dual purpose kit.

Death Company are missing from the US GW site

Ah, thanks. My bad.

How do you know there is such a stipulation in the contract?

That contract is surely one of GW's most closely guarded secret. I call BS.

I never knew that, and Agemann goes for silly money, cheers Para.

GW are being very careful with phrasing on these limited run products. If they stated something like "limited edition" they wouldn't legally be allowed to sell the same products once the initial batch was sold. However by using phrases like "currently only available in this set" and "while stocks last" it creates the impression of a limited edition, but leaves them the option of re-releasing it in future (like they did with Space Hulk).

Yeah, not a fan of that.

I hate myself, but I had to buy it. That Broodlord was just too cool.

Take foamcore, or something similar. Trace new base on it and cut it out. Take Old base, trace and cut out of middle of new base. instant conversion ring !!

Somebody at GW must think that ovals are bloody brilliant.

On the plus side, ovals are porbably better than 120mm circles

They're really not. They cause all sorts of headaches with GW's poorly defined movement rules.

And the UK site.

Ok ... I pre-ordered at my Local Shop ... he is getting 4 and one is mine. Not sure what to do with the 'Nids though ... have no use for them right now. Paint them or sell them? Sell them for how much?

Oz sites missing almost everything in the BA section.

Ordered mine from Darksphere for an awesome £56.25

Ebay em for 70% retail and still make most of the cost of the box back

Nearly £10 delivery charge though...that said still a great price. I think you could sell the mini rulebook and 2 characters and re-coup that costs, so the rest is free toys! Also worth noting that if transfers are not your thing the Stormclaw transfer sheet sold quite well on the secondary market and this set has an exclusive transfer sheet too.

Got mine from the Outpost. £60 inc delivery.

Preordered mine from my FLGS. I may or may not end up with the Tyranid portion of the boxed set. Can't wait to start Blood Angels.
