Do the models in AoBR (Specifically the termies and the dread) come with anything but the normal setup, or will I have to buy the bitz seperately?

**cgmckenzie**

They are push together, monopose models.

A great deal if you need/want those particular models, not so much otherwise.

-cgmckenzie

**TheAngrySquig**

So they dont come with anything besides what is pictured?

**AustonT**

no

**Brother SRM**

You can swap regular bits out easily enough, however. If you buy a Cyclone missile launcer (or rather, a Sentinel missile launcher as a suitable stand-in) then you can give them that weapon easily enough, or you can get different weapon arms with shoulder pads if you want an assault cannon or something. I've also seen people cut the hands of regular Space Marine arms to glue them onto an AoBR Marine to hold a plasma or melta gun.

Also, the whole June 23rd thing on the GW website, is that the official release day for 6th, and thus a new box set? If so are there any inclinations as to what this set will contain?

**cgmckenzie**

A new box set will probably come out a couple months after the drop of 6th. It gives us all an opportunity to buy the BGB, the BGB collectors edition(with templates/dice/neat carrying bag), and then buy the box set.

**Grey Templar**

Dark Angels and CSM supposedly.

**TheAngrySquig**

So would the SM available change anything but color?

**SagesStone**

No one knows, but the DA are sort of known for their love of plasma weaponry so it is possible they may have some instead.

**Grey Templar**

DA and Chaos should be getting new codices with the release of 6th.

Maybe Deathwing terminators will have some sort of Plasma weapon they can lug around(Plasma Blasters perhaps)

**TheAngrySquig**

Not gonna lie, that'd be sick as hell

**BlapBlapBlap**

I love my Deathwing...

Please, Ward, if you're listening, write DA, make Belial Draigo with better fluff, and give him a top hat and a twirly moustache...

5th edition 40k and 8th edition Fantasy both had rulebooks in July followed by starter sets in September. I could possibly see the set coming out in August, but I doubt it. Even so, if Chaos were updated in August or July and Dark Angels were updated in October, it would do well for the contents of the box. Don't forget that Assault on Black Reach came out a month before the Space Marine codex!

i doubt they'd put two space marine armies in the same box.

They aren't the same marines... Also, Chaos is rumoured to have cultists...

If only they could be bothered to make dynamic models for the starter sets...

**AustonT**

I was under the impression the rumor was no SMs at all in the 6th ed starter

Is this a troll? I don't think any recent starter sets have been lacking marines...

I think he's referring to the "no sons of Guilliman" rumour.

Not sons of Guilliman, but of the Lion.

Precisely. Still marines, but not Blue Marines.

So nothings really gonna change except the paint?

**Brother SRM**

We don't know. They'll ostensibly be new sculpts, whether or not they'll have DA iconography is up in the air. The current AoBR sprues have a mix of Marines and Orks on each, so they'll probably be different models as a result of being on new sprues. Also, rumor is that the box will have Belial, Terminators, and more for the loyalists, not the same group as AoBR.

**TheAngrySquig**

If that comes out September I'm gonna be pissed, because I'm building that very army for a campaign this summer

You're a troll. I just stated what I thought was the rumor you could have just said no.

**Mannahnin**

What? He was just incredulous at the idea of a starter set with no marines in it.

**TheAngrySquig**

It is a bit of a silly concept to not have a top seller in the starter box
