Mine came in today and I was curious if people are going to have the same issues as last year (IE ork players only getting like 1700 pts)

For myself I asked for a cadian mech guard army and while the GW guy couldnt assure me I would get it.. infact I did

I got

1 command squad
3 cadian battle forces
3 leman russ
2 new demolisher boxsets
3 new hellhound boxes
2 valkyries

Comes in at around 800$ retail and with competative upgrades its about 2500 even.. Usually they give you a bit more in points due to upgrades but I was fairly conservative with mine. All in all Im pretty happy as guard is so farking expensive money wise

Only issue I got is how few points a cadian battle force actually gives you.. Also no chimeras for a mech force is odd but Im assuming you can use the hellhounds as chimeras

It might be that you got a generic IG army instead of Mech.

That does look a bit generic, but leaning a lot towards the new kits.

I have a feeling that every IG army will get that very same loadout.

Not to mech though. You only got 2 transports. 5 if you make all the hellhounds into Chimera's. I think you got less vehicles than I run at 2k But it's still a nice haul.

Got my orks yesterday. Tons of models. I think they had a standard "template" for each codex that they shipped.

I dont know 5 tanks, 3 hell hounds and 2 valks is a lot of tanks.. Not sure how youd run more than that in 2k honestly.

Unless you consider a leman russ that costs 150 min the same as 1 chimera that costs 55 heh..

I picked guard because it is the most money for your points really.. Can buy Sms and orks by the boatload on ebay due to the started boxset

In my 2k List i run 1 Valk, 6 Chimera's, 1 Colossus, and 4 Leman Russ. That's close and only 2k Guard is an excellent choice for bang for your buck though, can't say I would have chosen any differently

I received guard as well. The layout you got is exactly what I got. I would say its the standard template. Guard is my favorite army and wanted to use the prize to fill in the holes in my army. I am very pleased with what I got.

Very nice Bill. That's 1061.75 retail from GW.

80 Boyz
5 Trucks
2 Battlewagons
3 Kans
24 Bikers (ouch)
30 lootas/burnas
10 Kommandos
10 Stormboyz
2 big HQ's

I nice haul overall. Isn't it amazing. They send you so much stuff, but there is still a few hundred dollars you need to spend to flesh out the army to fit just what you want. Nice haul.

Yeah the bikers sorta hurt.. Battleforces arent that bad when you get 4 of them since you actually get enough models to do something

When I got my SoB army I had to spend a few hundred $$$ to make it playable.

It helped that I sold some of the stuff that I did not want.

I just got my Tyranids for winning the Semi-finals. I had originally asked for Dark Eldar, but then was told they didn't have enough models to make a 2500pt DE army. I then asked for Tyranids, warrior heavy if possible, and this is what they sent.

2 Hive Tyrants
9 boxes of Warriors
4 boxes of Gaunts
18 blisters of Raveners
2 carnifex's

Pretty simple really. I'm speculating the Warriors will be good come next March/April.

EIGHTEEN RAVENERS. I think they might be unloading all the excess (and by that I mean unbought) ravener stock onto people.

Riddle me this: what has four sides, moves twelve inches, and moved fourteen?

Any word on when scenarios for Chicago will get posted?

I got 4 boxes of lootas with my 2nd place $. I feel like the last warboss on the block to get on the loota bandwagon.

I doubt they'll post scenarios for Chicago. With only one venue, and hosted by GW itself, there's no worries about early release.

Deal with it.

Two years ago I asked for Guard and received 16 Ogryn's. I was happy with them and I'm happy with a bunch of Raveners.

I'd love 18 free Raveners. I love how well mine perform.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

I would have asked for nids myself, I already have almost 30 warriors though ha... I'd play 18 raveners if I had them =). Should have asked for a gargoyle heavy army =).
