If indy stores can carry these, I might pick up the DE Megaforce on the off chance I like 6th edition.

So has the USA price been confirmed?

I believe you're seeing two blocks of Stormvermin and two blocks of Clanrats, not "old/new ratmen".

Assuming that is the case, the Skaven Megaforce contains:

Clanrats x2: $70.00
Plague Monks: $35.00
Rat Ogres/Giant Rats: $40.00
Screaming Bell: $57.75
Stormvermin x2: $99.00

Given that you can still find Rats half of the IoB on eBay for about $35-40, I'd say the Skaven Megaforce definately NOT worth getting whatsoever.

BrookM wrote:High Elves: Twenty archers, thirty spearmen, lion chariot, dragon prince, heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, looks like white lions. 84 models total.

I'm seeing:

Archers: $35.00
Chariot: $26.50
Lord on Dragon: $49.50
Princes of Caledor x2: $59.50
Spearmen x2: $70.00
White Lions x2: $82.50

This is different enough from the IoB stuff that it may actually be worth buying.

Bought as separate kits, the Megaforces work out to the following prices USD:

High Elves: $323.00
Skaven: $334.75
Dark Eldar: $328.75
Space Marines: $331.50

It took me more than a couple of posts to understand Luna. But with that Canadian flag there, I'm assuming their first language may be French, and not English..

Funny... I bought the Chaos Terminator Spearhead/Apocalypse box several years ago... $120 for 15 Termies and 2 Termie Characters. I've got a total of 23 terminators now... all word bearers

one lord (coryphaeus) with dual LC and a sorceror/dark apostle with cursed crozius and combi melta

Best deal GW has EVER had

Wow, that is a hell of a deal. Something like that would make me start a Chaos army!

That's what I was thinking too. Sorry if I offended anyone, didn't mean to! Just was having a hard time understanding.

There are other places you can order from that still ship overseas. They mightn't have the megaforce, but it's still cheaper to order it all separately than it is to get the Megaforce locally.

Wow! A 100 quid markup is pretty bad. Makes me glad I quit GW earlier this year.

With Novembers issue of White Dwarf, come's a little leafelet that shows the same picture as on page 2, but instead of prices, it shows a release date of December 3rd.

**hogzofwar**

I'll be gettn 1 of those space marine

megaforces no hesitation

**LunaHound**

I cant wait to see the actual USD and CDN for these things.

**Thaanos**

LunaHound wrote:I cant wait to see the actual USD and CDN for these things.

Same, I'll probably get it, while I don't need any more Tactical marine's, I could always use them for conversions. Or perhaps start a Blood Angels army as well.

**SickSix**

$215 USD
$328 USD if purchased separately.
It works out to be 35% off retail prices.

If you get 20% off at FLGS this is a freaking steal.

How do I get this without getting killed by the wife.......

**Thamor**

Space marine one bought separately comes to £204, The Megaforce is £130, thats a bargain.

I've just bought my High Elves and the Megaforce they released wouldn't of helped me one bit as it only includes one unit I'm using

**Nagashek**

And the way I figured it, if you are starting a "competitive" build for DE, the army box is still a savings. Many lists i see use wyches (about 20) and raiders as well as venoms. So even if you don't use the scourges or bikes, the venom, ravager, and extra box of wyches STILL makes this a value box. (with a savings of about $10 versus just getting another battleforce) Plus, the Scourge Sprue includes a DL and a Blaster, which allows you to add more Darklights to your army. Between bits and items to trade, this is a good buy, IMO.

It's up.

**Zygrot24**

Just got home from GW store. Single operator showed me the megaforces. $215, and worth the money without a doubt. These things are nice and big. Same box size as the terrain bundles. He said they will be stocked in the hobby centers as far as he knows, but wasn't sure about indy stores.

I really like the High Elf one since it comes with that dragon! Space Marine one is also awesome with a ven dread and Land Raider.

**Sidstyler**

I don't get to say this often, but I actually don't have any complaints about this, lol. The DE megaforce is full of units I still need, and it's actually priced at about what I said would be reasonable earlier, as opposed to the $250+ I was expecting. So at the moment I'm just deciding whether or not to buy it directly from GW right now or wait and see if my local store can get one for me.

**Harriticus**

GW being reasonable and offering real deals. What reality is this.

Though I suppose it's just how de-sensitized we are to prices as none of them should be this expensive in the first place.

**SickSix**

Just wanted to let everyone know for certain that there is no devastator sprue, or single lascannon in the SM Mega Force despite what the box shows. Still an awesome deal. Got mine for $188 tax, tag and title from my FLGS!

**MasterSlowPoke**

There isn't a Lascannon on the box? Aside from the one on the Venerable, of course.

**SickSix**

MasterSlowPoke wrote:There isn't a Lascannon on the box? Aside from the one on the Venerable, of course.

Yes, there is. The furthest right tactical marine has a Lascannon.

**MasterSlowPoke**

That's a missile launcher.

**SickSix**

Ok dude, when I get home I will take a picture of the box and post it for you.

**kronk**

OK...Dude. The ONLY lascannon on this picture is being sported by the Dreadnought.

**Lt. Coldfire**

The box clearly shows a missile launcher.

e-ninja'd.

**SickSix**

Here you go. Obviously an error on their part.

The folks over at B&C also noticed it and began speculating wether or not it was a misprint.

**DarkTraveler777**

Very interesting. Looks like the photo team screwed up!
