Seriously though, how do you play on something 10 metres wide?

It's composed of quite a few sections that can unhook and be spread out to allow you to move through the table. Like a huge model town HO train set.

Okay, I rescind the cock jokes - making a table like that is a manly feat!

.....thats what SHE said


i dont really think the terrains that great looking to be honest, looks to fantasy like and not up to the high standards of the COD terrain

GW added links for a bunch of stuff to the 40K Advance Order page today, so you can actually order these items now, well most of them:

Ironclad Dreadnought (they forgot to post a price on this, so you'll have to wait till they fix it to order it)
Landspeeder Strom (same problem as Ironclad)
Imperial Strongpoint ($90, saves you $28.75 over buying what's in it separately; hooray!)
Imperial Outpost (scenery bundle with Realm Of Battle Board)
Defence Network (scenery bundle with Realm Of Battle Board)
K. Khan (GW Direct Only!)
Forgefather Vulkan H.
Shrine of the Aquila
Blastscape (splash release, get it while it lasts)

Vulkan is also Direct Only.

And just to re-iterate BrassScorpion's comment, get the Blastscape early if you want it as it is a limited run Splash Release and only available while stocks last. Also, if you're thinking about buying the Imperial Strongpoint from indie stores, grab it sooner rather than later as it will shift to Direct Only in September.

Whilst I was a fan of the Cities of Death stuff, the planetstrike stuff really doesn't turn me on. In fact it turns me off so much it's like thinking about Pauline Hanson.
I bet i could knock up a respectable 'Aegis Defense Network' in a day with some cardboard and foamcore.

I've written a tutorial on how to make your own "Realm of Battle" board in the Tutorial section (go vote for me!). I made mine for $90 Australian (so 20% of the price of GW's board) and it has 8 tiles (so 33% more gaming space). But, you're allowed to spend your money where you want. .

I noticed the Mines, bombs, and booby traps set, and said to myself "why use those when I can use the real thing?"

Props to anyone that can correctly identify this land mine.

vs 2.2?

at a geuss

and yeah-thatd be one hell of a base for a diorama?!

Good guess but a bit off. It's actually the vs 1.6.

Wow Titan mine. W00t!

No, two hubcaps glued together and sprayed in a sandy colour. Moving on.

o come on-that deserves something! im not any kind of EOD person either!

EOD, you stealing souvenirs from the Iraqi army again? I'm hoping that thing has the comp B pulled and isn't just defused...

I like the Blastscape. Must pick that up.

Best part is, if you lose the painting contest, you can leave it under the judges car....

No worries- it's fully safe.

You are right, have a cookie

You know, the last time an EOD said that to me, I then got to spend hours trying to wash the guy out of my hair when he was proved wrong...

Remember, kids, explosives are bad. If you see an anti-tank mine, don't bring it home.

Also... depends on what the guy drives... An '09 Toyota trips that and it's probably done. A '46 Roadmaster and you're just not gonna see the same level of damage.

holy crap, I just saw the marketing brief at my local GW. £612 for the Spearhead box set. Its effectively the 2nd company of Ultramarines. Its HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

yeah, all that was already posted on the previous page.

By the way, the Chaos Icons Bitz Packs and Pack of Skulls Bitz Pack were addeed to the GW Online store just the other day. Didn't seem like they needed their own topic thread, so I've added the info here. This includes the following.

Five different Chaos Icons Bitz Packs, 10 icons for $8.25 US:
- Chaos Icons
- Khorne Chaos Icons
- Nurgle Chaos Icons
- Slaanesh Chaos Icons
- Tzeentch Chaos Icons

Plus the Pack of Skulls for $11.50, containing 32 individual skulls, 2 small skull piles and 1 large skull pile.

I've been wishing for these items to be available for years given the large number of Chaos conversions I do every year. These packs should also be helpful to modelers in turning their Planetstrike and other GW scenery into Chaos themed scenery.

Yay! Box of skulls!
When are they going to do the "Bag of Boobs" for Slaaneshi players?

Edit: or more seriously, when are they going to do a plastic "special weapons" bits pack? I needs me some more meltaguns...

I'm going to have to second that request, The thought of finally making my chapter Mammary Marines is too good to be true.

Hrm, the Dutch Euro prices aren't that bad. The Strongpoint boxed set would get my a Bastion for free. And it's €15 less than battalion boxed sets.

So.... I just noticed that the Aegis defense line has a hydra autocannon on it. Hmm. I'll be picking those up immediately.

No! No it does not! It has a quad cannon! Anyone using them as hydras is guilty of techno-heresy!

In fact you're best off sending them to me so you're not tempted.

Those look pretty easy to stick on a chimera too... Sweet, sweet heresy

Those quads are too small to be used as a Hydra ack-ack turret.

Size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it...

Unfortuneately, that's NOT what she said....

2xdreads= $41.25*2=$82.50
9xdrop pods=$35x9=$315

for a grand total of: $1117.25 so a savings of about $122

Spear of Sicarius
This one of the BIG releases coming the pipe July 9th with Planetstrike. It is the full assault force used by Ultramarines Captain Sicarius as described in a famous battle in the planetstrike book. You get:

Sicarius
Command Squad
Vanguard Squad
2x Standard Dreadnoughts
4x Ten-Man Assault Squads
4x Five-Man Terminator Squads (Normal not Assault)
6x Tactical Squads
9x Drop Pods

Price: $1066 USD

which just knocked the savings down to only a measly $55 now! that is rediculus!

edit: actually it appears there is a command squad in there, which werent in the actual calculations, and I did the drop pods wrong, so it apears that there is $0 savings on this one!
