Extra biomorph sprue? what do you mean ? the previous gaunts have them as well

On the GW site:

Thats a rather misleading battle force cover -_-
( makes me wonder if taking the carnifex out was a last minute decision )
customer: "aww they took out the carnifex? from the battle force? "
red shirt: " what are you talking about? there is a giant one right on the box! "

@Luna: How many biomorph sprues did they give before? Isn't this a net increase in sprues?

Not sure , but right now i have close to 20 sprue worth of unused biomorphs. ( thus it boggles my mind for *extra* biomorphs needed )
And im 100% sure it came with enough biomorph + weapons to fit them to any variant.

The necron Battleforce shows a Monolith, no?

saving a little bit in a battleforce increase is hardly a bargain compared ot ordering everything indiviudally at 30% off retail and svaing a lot more ....

Except you can order the Battleforce FROM the people who give you8 the 20% off discounts. Plus it's nice for the freaks like me who buy locally.

YAY local products save the planet...and make planetary invasion cost $20 more.

*Sir, we have run into technical difficulties. We are of funds...Yes, local products only. Yes, 20% off. Umm...no carnifex..*

Battle Forces are NOT direct / online only items.

They are available like everything else , with the same discount ontop of their already bundled prices.

Well, getting a Carnifex in the old was quite good, but it's very nice that now you can get almost full groups of Terma and horma from a box instead of needing to buy 2 boxes to get 16 termas :S
Since battleforces are actualy suppose to be fillers and starters of an army.

Ditto, might fall asleep midway through assembly too

Yay drunk assembly! My horms have glands and carnifex head! My tyrant guard have legs for arms! RAWR!

*Dear Incompetent Norn Queen, you have disgraced yourself under the influence of alcohol by disassembling precious vital DNA codes*

The battel force is actually good value if you read whats in it. No carnifex though.

If you look of the website they have all the new nids up for pre-order with a picture of each and price. And stats on some of the current models, I wonder if they will change that on the 16th?

The cover of the battleforce box is the codex cover, so they probably just slapped it on there because they didn't have anything else. Or perhaps the rumors of a Carnifex nerf is true, and they knew people would want the Genestealers more.

No Carni in battleforce == FAIL for GW

What do you get, more Genestealers. gay.

I wonder if The Red Terror will be in the book.

They better have pretty sweet rules if the Carni has been taken out of the Battleforce. Of course with all the new Heavy maybe people don't care about Carnis anymore.
