Seeing that Destroyer up close is a game changer. Absolutely gorgeous. I also am a fan of the Marine turret.

ATV looks like some Deffskulls made off with the front armour.

As for the boxset release, I am excited to pick it up. Contents look fantastic! I already reserved a boxset a couple weeks back at my FLGS.

Keep in mind that this is a "Launch Set" and will be limited edition.

I can tell you from past experience, these good ones sell out VERY quick. You would be served by putting in preorders the moment they come out, or with your FLGS if you want to guarantee a copy.

When did they announce a video game crossover Primaris Kart? Wow that is an ugly and stupid model.

Easiest guess is when the Codex comes out.

For those thinking a new SM codex was not coming, look to be wrong. No way they are not going to release a dex now.

They showed off some Necron stuff too.

And I remain unconvinced. "Reinforcements Incoming" doesn't really give us any sort of timeline on when to expect things. GW has shown they can be all over the map when it comes to releases, ranging from right after making an announcement, to months later.

I never said at release, but I think it's pretty clear that both ranges are going to come shortly after 9th with a codex and new range options.

You can remain unconvinced, but both these are going to be released before the end of the year.

I don't think we'll see them before the last quarter of this year at the soonest to be honest. I'm more willing to bet on them being early 2021 if anything.

I think it's a Primaris version of the old Attack Bike. Only chunkier to support the extra mass of the Primaris, and a bigger gun.

I completely agree. Doesn't make it any less ugly or stupid looking.

I don't think they have ever previewed stuff to this extent, to have it release more than 6 months later. I just don't see anyway that it will be in 2021.

Are there any SM light vehicles with actual front armor? Land speeders had windowless roll cages, land speeder storms were worse, attack bikes just had bike windshields and an incredibly vulnerable sidecar, dreadknight, centurion, etc.

2 months on the short end, 5 months on the long end to get to the end of the year.

Then again, who knows? Maybe they're accelerating the release schedule for 40k to make up for the shutdown earlier this year.

They're push fit models that will no doubt come out alongside their Codex release.

I swear i see mariokart conversions in the future, because that is what these things are, glorified mariokarts.

For the first time we get good looking primaris and then this abomination shows up-

Actually, I can’t wait to see what GSC players do with this kit.

I'd expect something like two weeks after Indomitus drops for the "Beyond the Box" items. That seems to have been how long it took for the Easy to Build heroes+alternate Celestar Ballista to show up for Soul Wars

Haha GW. You gotta hand it to them, their ability to manipulate people with false scarcity is remarkable.

I can already guess at what the ork players are gonna do with this.

Your just being stubborn. They held up the booklet with data slates for both sides in the set and it wasn't the necron cover art we has previously seen leaked with the Scorpehk destoryer on the front.

There will definitely be a new marine and necron codex within the month of the new edition.

Haha GW. You gotta hand it to them, their ability to manipulate people with false scarcity is remarkable.

They specifically state in the stream that there are plenty of these kits to go around. It's only limited in the sense that they won't sell it forever.

Why would I when the Ridge runner already exists and blows thing thing out of the water aesthetically?

Well of course. Even GW isn't silly enough to actually limit availability of a release set for its new edition. It's a testament to their past marketing that they can make people panic-buy a new edition set even while specifically telling them there's plenty, just by calling it "limited."

So the giveaway makes me think it'll be 120 gbp But it being a "launch" set with a full art cover rather than a starter almost makes me think they'll try to recoup all of their lost revenue from their factory shutdown with this one product. Even with the "half retail" talk and common msrp of 20 pound characters and 25-35 pound units, things add up fast. It could still easily be over 240 gbp and be "half retail" of the later released full kits + rulebook.

captain with shield 10
LT 10
chaplain 10
judiciar 10
bladeguard 15
ancient 10
eradicators 15
assault intercessors 15
outriders 15

overlord 10
royal warden 10
plasmancer 10
skorpek lord 10
destroyers 15
plasmacyte 10
reanimator 15
warriors 15
warriors 15

rulebook 15

= 235 GBP

By limited it means that it sounds like they've produced X and won't make any more sets. So once X is done for there won't be any more for sale. As opposed to regular starter sets which are produced continually until the end of the edition as stocks demand.

So yes there is a limited number and heck considering you also get a limited edition rulebook and could likely sell both halves of the models to recoup the cost of the box; then if you're willing to put the legwork in you can get a free rule book.
All you have to do it sell off the necron and marine halves which will likely be pretty easy to do.

GW about 9th: we want to block Line of Sight and force people to move around with their armies

also GW: Marines get stationary gun toweres

Yeah that did seem pretty silly, but every edition has some of that kind of junk. I mean look at that model, it looks like they mocked it up in an hour using parts they had lying around from other stuff.

I thought the exact same same thing How did GW get the cult stuff so right... then this?

so if the 120 value of the mystery box giveaway is indeed this set, what if that value is based on the cost at standard wholesale discount? the fine print didn't say 120 MSRP, just value and since it was fine print legaleze, then wouldn't the value be what they expense for accounting reasons as part of the marketing promotion rather than the retail cost?
