i have nothing to say
sorry to the mods if this is not allowed

So the spear is just a box set for the planetstrike release? I wonder if it will be full of the same ridiculous savings seen in the AOBR set.

I imagine from the model count we are looking at a $200-300 range set at the very least. As for the dark eldar no big breaking news.

There is an even more extensive upcoming release list at this link: http://bluetablepainting.blogspot.com/2009/05/summer-release-schedule.html

On that list it appears that certain classic Chaos models are due for re-release and it appears there some scenery bundle deals on there too. In fact, our Battle Bunker has Planet Strike posters up now and there's a box bundle set that appears to contain 2 Bastions and at least 1 set of the new barricades.

Here's the list from the link I provided in the first paragraph:

THE SPEAR OF SICARIUS 142 Model Box July 04

142 Models, hmm. There were 40 in the AoBR boxed set, and it was $65. So = $200+?

And since it's a "seige" army, I'm assuming 2 Force Ogranization charts? Never seen a SM army contain 142 models for one.

The Red Chinese are blocking a ton of sites this week, can anyone report the information?

Thanks!

I edited my post above to include the list from the link I provided. Hope that helps. Have a great weekend.

Yet more "THE DE ARE COMING U GAIS!"

Pics or it didn't happen, I'm fed up with rumors and want to see some god-damned plastic already.

The Empire stuff is really depressing, IMHO......stopped me from resurrecting my army.

I'm lookin' forward to the scenery and LOTR stuff.

Now, what's The Chase?

"Pack of Skulls" sounds awesome, I wonder why they never released something like that before. Of course it's GW so it'll probably be overpriced, but better than buying them at bits stores at least?

I don't understand "blastscape" though...what's wrong with the craters that they just put out last year?

Also noticed the brushes are getting rereleased...how much do you want to bet they're going up in price, too?

Always nice to hear about DE progress. Certainly better than no news at all, but I have to agree that it's long overdue that we actually be shown SOMETHING, though GW has their cheeks clenched on everything these days. Do we even have pics of new SW models? Didn't see any new IG until immediately before their release.
I'm just hoping "shortly after Space Wolves" means exactly that, but with the extraordinary rate at which GW gets things done, I'm not holding my breath.

I want the empire archers just for the bodies.

Pack of Skulls is a "bitz pack" of metal skulls. Rumors I've heard on price for that sounded fairly reasonable, although with this June 1 price hike coming who knows.

I've been told that the new Craters set for Planetstrike will be different than the vacuum formed Moonscape product and that it will be one of two "splash" limited releases for Planetstrike.

Thanks for reposting!

Metal? Plastic? Resin? Brass?

Anyone?

The skull pack could be that resin pack they did a while ago where you can decorate your bases with piles of skulls. I do hope that the icons are etched brass.

Anyone seen sneaky picks of Dechala?

Really hoping for an elven Kali Ma type model, not the utterly ugly thing they released last time...

Yea Im thinking from $8 to $10 for the brushes but if you go to an art suply store you can get the same quality brushes for about $2-$5 but they don't say GW on the side so you'll have ta live with that sacrifice As per Warseer the skulls are metal

Whats the "Chaos Bastion" ?

The Imperial Bastion, but with skulls on them.

lol, I'm pretty sure this is about to get locked.

Is Jes the only one with a clue? Could someone call him and verify what he's actually been working on . . .

Well, maybe that bike picture has to circulate a certain number of times before they actually put it into production. Maybe we are almost there? But then again, maybe we aren't. We'd better keep posting that thing.

What's the point? he said a couple of months ago, yet certain people still don't believe!

Locking something is NOT a laughing matter boy.

And we are talking about Jes here, who said so in that podcast done by Jervis.

Heretic.

Metal. Expect "bitz packs" like those coming this summer are all going to be metal unless the price of making molds for plastic sprues suddenly gets a lot cheaper at some point.

Regarding plastic, wouldn't it be nice if more of the existing sprues were suddenly available again in the new bitz pack system? Personally, I bought metal Chaos icons and other bitz like that under the old bitz system for years. Now that Chaos has great icons on the Chaos Marine Upgrade sprue, I'd much rather be able to buy that than the old metal icons even though the sprue has icons for all the Chaos powers rather than a bundle of icons for a single power. GW has mostly moved along to plastic in the past year or two and with all the great new plastics so have I.

Regarding the new Planetstrike scenery, based on the picture on the box cover the IMPERIAL STRONGPOINT appears to contain two IMPERIAL BASTIONS and perhaps two IMPERIAL DEFENCE LINE sets.

Yes, MOAR Skulls!

I hope the Dechala and Scyla are resculpts from the old versions. Otherwise, ew.

There's no telling if they're even new sculpts. They might just dig out a few skull-y bits from various models and lump them together with no rhyme nor reason.
