Then again, anyone insane enough to have bought all the other FW books won't want to have a gap in their collection. But it's unlikely that this volume will become a "must have".
Yeah, Forgeworld is really taking a gamble on a book that is Space Marine vs. Space Marine. Full of color art and designs for 9 Chapters that aren't the big 4/5. That relate back to the nostalgia some older gamers feel about the two page Badab War spread from ~1990. With rules for boarding actions. Which is why they made two books. And tons of transfer sheets and etches.

erm... they are taking a gamble by publishing a book featuring space marines fighting space marines, based on a fantastically unexplored bit of pretty cool background? are you sure? because, you know... apparently gw sells quite a few space marines.

He was kidding.

Has it been announced how much the Ork RuntBot will cost?

**Breotan**

I thought the runtbot was £20 and was a Games Day special.

**Gargskull**

Yeah the runtbot's moment of glory has been and gone, though they'll undoubtedly have more stock still. They still had stock of the ork fighter pilot and other limited models at bothe the forgeworld open day and salute when I went.

**Goliath**

The runtbot isn't games day only, but for all Forge world events, so the open day, games days, etc..

It says on the GW website that there'll be some for sale, but nowhere else :/

So here's hoping that we don't end up with a book full of fluff, scenarios, huron, servin loth and nothing else. I'm praying for new landraider/predator/dreadnought/terminator squad variants. Not expecting models for any of this but maybe we'll get rules that we can run with and mock up gak on our own.
