Goddamnit I have stayed up while on holiday for preorder goodness and GW don't have the decency to ensure a robust system is in place! Who didn't think people would flock to the site in droves?!
Grrr :#

Lots of people built up by lots of rumours for lots of awesome new models in the biggest release of the year.

I just hope that people that placed their orders before the crash managed to get their stuff. I'm going to try again in the morning.

I imagine the various people willing to shell out for an LE Codex are refreshing like mad.

All I want to do is look at the sprue pics :(

I can't even get the page to open once.

I really can't blame GW for their website having Issues with quasi-DDoS like this, when the same thing happens to college networks consistently during registration.

They could have made bigger print runs FFS.

I can't believe the Sternguard squad is £5 more expensive than the Vanguard.

That's pretty much put me out of buying any of the new releases, except maybe the Stalker, if it turns out to be awesome gamewise.

Its offically up on gw's site

Quite surprised Tacs only went up £2. Bit annoying that the plastic characters are £18 though.

Games workshop.com is down atm, probably adding the preorders.

White scars with a hq on a bike with command squad all wielding grav rifles. Merry christmas!

That is pretty good considering it's all brand new and shiny. But £18 for those decidedly average mono-pose characters! They're 'avin' a giraffe.

I agree with you completely, I thought they had gone up to £30. So it was a nice surprise, can't wait to see the spruce pics now.

Nah, I would have expected £28 though, the same price as termies.

Although, I'm assuming Termies will now go up to £30?

Apparently the Whirlwind has vanished from existence. Anyone heard any rumours about that?

From what I've seen, they will be cheaper and keep the same rules, which makes them a fantastic bargain if you have spare HS slots.

I'm going to be upset if my codex of choice sells out before I can even load the damn page.

Where would you go to check if "Is It Down Right Now?" is down?

On topic though, I'm liking the new releases. I can see possible conversions to make the Centurions better-looking, might even convince me to get a small force myself.

I have no idea why they limited it to 500 worldwide. They could have done 5000 and sold them out

Saving myself a load of cash by not buying any of this. Prices are a joke

Congrats on being the first person to ever say that. You must feel special.

Stayed up late to see if I could grab one of the limited covers.. but its getting too late now.. think I'll turn in and see if there are any left in the morn.

If not, I'll just get a normal one.

Looks like GW's facebook team dropped the ball. Already announcing the digital pre-orders.

And its up.

Otherwise they wouldn't be a limited edition now would it?
I tought the LE only had the dustcover... But from people at my local GW said the insides are themed per chapter to.

Is it a knock knock or a topical?

But seriously, I applaud you on your obvious level headedness and restraint. Let me know how that unit of bane knights is treating you.

This is like roulette - how impulsive will I be when the site finally lets me start shopping?!

It would still be plenty limited.

Lol, I can't wait to see that 10 000$ deal. THIS is pure joke to me!

GW's site has crashed from too much traffic. I guess people are excited about Space Marines, or their servers are just terrible. Given GW it's probably a mixture of both.

Chaplain - only available in that squad set? Apart from the left pad and both heads I like him.

Sternguard - there is so much awesome I can barely contain myself. Seriously, looking at the sprue pics I actually gasped. Given the amount of previously sought after bits on the sprue with multiple options this kit actually appears to justify the lofty price tag. Interesting combi-flamer design, I really like it. The only negative remains the loin-cloths, why of why did they have to be moulded on? Fave bit is the hand holding a combat knife.

Vanguard - there isn't much on this sprue I don't like except for the Mk. 4 legs. The pose looks a bit off. Fave bit might be the bionic corvus helm or the double-headed axe.

Tactical squad - this is a big kit! So much good stuff, increased posing options with bolter hands coming separately from their arms, more armour marks represented some interesting new backpack designs, MODULAR COMBI-WEAPON, more upright leg poses. Favourite bit is probably the skull and laurels chest.

Very much a fan of the frag/krak grenade bits in all kits rather than the old frag/frag or krak/krak we used to get. I'm going to have more shoulder pads than I know what to do with after buying all three kits

Congrats GW the three main kits of the release work. Let's just pretend the Centurions don't exist.
