I am guessing heavy intercessors might show up alongside the Dark Angels supplement. Perhaps the assault intercessors will arrive with blood angels?

I am going to be sorely tempted to go out and buy like 4 boxes of heavy intercessors when they release.

Little bit strange they put these Plague Marine Heroes out now when there's a Codex release for them one month away.
But I'm not complaining, good to see them finally and it's also great not to have to bother with blind buys, would have meant to pay horrendous ebay prices to get all of them.

Eh, they are tough. And might be good for holding back field objectives. But they don't want to get into melee so going forward with them isn't great.

Still gotta get the new Blood Bowl Edition as well.

I think they've confirmed that as November, world events permitting.

GW's still ahving production issues I guess

is it just me or at $65 is Ghaz priced sanely?

Like, that's what the primarchs and greater demons should be costing.

That's 5$ more than expected, but still Abaddon/Gulliman tier.

This is ghaz next to a knight, then a greater daemon next to a knight.



Weirdly I can't Google a greater daemon next to a knight but a lord of change/thirster is easily the same size as the knight. So I'd say ghaz is reasonable, greater daemons too expensive but should not be the same.

that extra 5's for Makari

Mildly annoyed the only SHM Death Guard model they're not bringing over here is the Malignant Plaguecaster, given that the previous one (from Dark Imperium) a) sucks and b) isn't even available any more.

At least you can now have two different flail marines in a unit.

Well that's something I suppose.

Mentioned this elsewhere but the Plaguecaster was the paint set not a blind box model.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Terminator Ancient from Series 2 the paint set model in Japan, but part of the regular blind boxes when S2 made it to the UK?

True, but they only show 6 miniatures of the 7 and the Plaguecaster is not one of them. Pretty annoying. The Ancient was shown as a blackout on the retail box, I hope it is an oversight but I am not hopeful.

maybe it'll be released in the upcoming DG CP box?

Not a bad point, given that it is a single frame that they can easily throw into the box.

But I'd hope that the new DG box actually contains the OOP DG characters.

I mean my hope is it's just the DG side of dark Imperium. that'd be a pretty solid box all considered

That box would be well over the 25PL they seem to want for these boxes though, and you can't really leave any of the sprues out.

Currently the only DG HQ on sale is Typhus, which is a pretty bad situation. Let's hope that modern CAD technology prevents DG characters from joining deff koptas and cultists in their fate.

hmm lemme see

Lord of contagion 6
Malaginangt plaguecaster 5
7 plague marines 8
10 pox walkers 6
Tallyman 3
Feotid bloatdrone 7

yeah that'd be about 35 PL.

although if they did sort of a hybrid halfway pack of 5 plague marines, 10 poxwalkers, the bloatdrone, tallyman and a LoC that'd be 25 even. and would preserve MOST of the "lost kits" (let's face it, if DG had to lose one kit from DI forever, the malagnant plague caster would proably be best as you could just nurglefy the new sorcrerer mini)

It's 20 Poxwalkers and a Noxious Blightbringer, not a tallyman.

If you look at the sprues, you'll find that most of the models are spread across multiple of them, the plague caster is on the same sprue as the blightbringer, the plague marine champion and at least one plague marine,

true they'd have to recut em I guess. ugh, sucks for death guard players, let's hope GW figures out a solution,

Mostly sucks for *new* DG players. I've got triples of DI and Lord Felthius Cohort plus I think six or seven of the ETB plague marines.

Through ebay and conquest, DG has probably been the cheapest army to start in a long time.

maybe but we need to think about those new players. especially as if it's bad for new players then sales dip and future model support disappers and before you know it your newest model is old eneugh to drink in the USA

Maybe DG gets new models with the codex to replace the dark imperium ones? One can hope.

Didn't happen with Marines(no way to get the Gravis Captain or Primaris Ancient), so I wouldn't expect it to happen for DG.

There is also no way to get a Judicar or a Bladeguard Ancient from the Idomitus boxset (or for the Necrons the Plasmancer, Reanimator, Skorpekh Lord and Cryptothralls) so they have to eventually do something about that or there won't be any way to get those models and I don't think they will put them into a Combat Patrol

Why people put everything under covid? Gw has long history of stretching releases and as sisters showed it still exists.

Gw bases sales on impulse purchases and knows mini sells most of it's lifetime sales right away. Put too many necrons and players literally might not afford all at once and then with hype cooling down(can't keep hype for same models going all the time) costs.

That’s funny, but completely baseless given the substantial portion of their catalog they keep in inventory. Production capacity is finite, and warehouse and shelf space cost money, so the evidence points to kits being profitable over a long lifespan.

Yeah, given how notoriously expensive this hobby is even among people that don't partake (a bit overblown imo but the trope definitely has some merit), the idea that 70-90% of the people who want a thing also have the spare money to buy a thing (and let's face it, most of us want loads of the stuff and stretch our never ending wishlists over literally years) in the first month or three after release is demonstrably not the case. You don't even have to delve into the logistics to see this fact clearly.
