It's on the GW main site. A bunch of pretty pictures you've probably seen before, some shots of the codex in GW's trademark blurred beyond recognition style, and confirmation that the Valk seats twelve. Oh, and the Commissar Lord is an HQ choice.

im happy about the sentinel kit. £15 for a fully plastic kit with loads of options and new posable legs. Im a bit miffed at the price of the valk. to be the same price as a Leman Russ, id rather take armour than a £35 transport. Enought about prices tho. thats GW all over. i'll be happy when i get to rebuild my sent squadrons with the plastics. Of course i'll have a valk. But the codex better make it live up to that price tag,

Have you seen how big the Valkyrie is? It's bigger than a Baneblade in it's outside dimensions, but obviously has less plastic in it, about half. So £35 is about right considering how many sprues it ended up being.

im just saying it needs to have some bang for its bucks

Mental amount of sprues as well.

This is a solid kit people, and one I would not attempt without the instructions.

Ah, misread ya. Thought you said you were expecting the kit to be the same price as a Leman Russ. But you were talking about points cost. My mistake.

I think it is safe to say that the Valk kit is going to be flying off the shelf

Just like no IG player is complete till they have a LRBT/LRD/Basi/Hellhound, I think the Valk will be added to that mandatory list of "cool stuff every IG player needs" !

no worries Buxom. and totally agree with you Boxant. it will be a must have to get at least one to play with

But will we hear Wagner whilst it does?

I'll be a bit overused in the next month...

Is that a plasma cannon I see on that sentinel?

Also note that while the IG army list store page lists the valk as $50, the actual Valk page here says $58.

Unless it's just me; no it doesn't.

So I guess I'll just go be confused now. At least I'd never order from GW direct anyway, so they can do whatever they want over there ;-)

Ok, Cupid.

$58 on the Advance Orders front page too:

Yup, but nothing there shameful enough to make me crop that screencap.

Because I use a widescreen and a simple screencap would've stretched the page. That's what your pic did.

So what we've learned here today is that using firefox gives you an 8 dollar discount on the GW online store.

Nope, I use firefox as well.

I didn't see a firefox icon in your screenshot.

I feel I have to lie about my preferred internet browser because I'd be laughed off the internet for using IE. :(

Its $50 USD for me too ,

i use Firefox if that means anything.

Well now I feel bad, so have a newly cropped image that doesn't stretch the page anymore, and yes I could be doing something more productive so I should probably go work on that...

well, 50 USD convert to £34.50, which is almost bag on the uk price of £34.25

now that's just weird, I just looked at this about an hour ago at home and read $50. I get to work and reads $58. Both computers are using IE7 the only real difference is the work computer has XP and my home pc Vista

Th US GW shop had the same problem when the SM had their price raise just before they came out. It kept flip-flopping with no real rhyme or reason between the old and new prices. The Cadian Command Squad keeps losing the ability to be purchased also.

yes that is a plasma cannon on a sentinel, omg its a good day to be a guard player
Cant wait to get my hand on some new guard goodies

That's odd. On my browser it's an assault cannon.
