Games Workshop would not dare go so far.

I'm just so hesitant to pre-order stuff before seeing the rules.

I agree. I also try to fit in a playtest or two before buying anything, let alone preorder.

**Nocturnus**

True, I don't buy stuff all willy-nilly. But, I will pick up the things I know I will use, such as the Codex, Spirit Seer and the sniper. The last two are simply for "looks cool factor". I will hold off on getting a plane or Wraithknight.

**deathmagiks**

about the only thing I plan on getting on the day is spirit seer, far seer POSSIBLY, sniper, and codex w/ cards

Unless rangers have changed a lot - given the 1st turn charge restriction - why, oh why, oh WHY would you ever want to get that close?!

Agreed! Infiltrate & scout are next to useless on a unit that is best positioned at the back of the board as far away from the enemy as possible. Maybe in an apoc game - with a massive board - it would be good though???

Infiltrate can be very suseful. Infiltating Rangers could prevent the enemy infiltrators to come close to your front ranks.
Scout is also useful as it allows to reposition the Rangers slightly after deployment to get into better position.

Or getting them into that 4+ cover that is outside of your deployment zone, or getting them onto an objective, or getting clear line of sight to the enemy commander... infiltrate is GREAT on Rangers/Pathfinders. I think it's just the "getting 12" away" part that I think folks are confused about... if it were applicable towards Striking Scorpions, though...

Good points! Thanks.

Codex and Spiritseer if he is limited edition.

I haven't preordered anything since DE 5th ed in 2010.

**Vaktathi**

So, after having seen the BoLS rumors on the WK's stats and weaponry, I think it's safe to say that the WK will be *very* popular indeed, and given its power and size, I'll be very surprised if the IG codex does not include the Baneblade whenever it gets redone.

**zedmeister**

Looks like the Dire Avengers are no longer available from GW UK. The old codex still is though...

**Medium of Death**

Howling Banshee's aren't available either. Not sure the rumours gave any indication as to why that would be? (unless I missed it)

**Melcavuk**

Banshees are still up to order for me, the only thing unavailable is the dire avengers.

I got caught out last week, I'd bet you've ended up on the metal entry, which is still there, rather than the Finecast one.

**Quark**

When I mentioned Infiltrate restrictions lifted to a friend, and commented on the uselessness of that, he came up with a viable use.

Place a Bastion in undeployable territory and Infiltrate on top of it. Naturally it depends on what you are facing. I still think there will be many games where it's not worth it, but some games it might just make a difference.

**Puscifer**

From what I've read and been told about Guardians and Avengers, Guardians are going to be much better than Avengers.

Rumoured at 6pts for a Guardian with Shuriken Catapult that can run and shoot per shooting phase. Apparently this extends to the weapons platform too.

Avengers are rumoured to still be 12 points each and get the longer ranged Shuriken Catapult and better stats.

If this is true, the Guardians will be a much better investment.

That's the ticket.

Dire Avengers sold out everywhere but eBay.

Not available on UK GW.

ITS HAPPENING.

**Vivster**

I was just lingering around eBay today looking for a copy of the Tau White Dwarf 2013 that I could buy to paint my army is a similar style to the batrep. However I found that someone was selling the Eldar codex which has not been released of yet - it was for £9.29 or about $ 14 . I don't know if I can post the link but here it is the picture in high quality.

Just type up the 'White Dwarf' on ebay and scroll down to find it.

Enjoy!

**Morachi**

iPad edition is already available, been downloading it for the last two hours :(

**Matt.Kingsley**

Where is the country of origin? If it's NZ it's because they already have theirs, if not then someone has made a mistake along the line

**Vivster**

It is Memphis, United States
