Does anyone plan on picking this up?
Me on the other hand is deciding, it does come with some pretty cool models but I don't know if I should get the limited edition on or just regular seems like too much of a price difference for just one model. Your thoughts?

What does the limited edition include?
|
Thus, After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd

I am definitely picking up the rulebook on ebay if I don't get the boxed set. I'm not a big fan of the Dark Angels but it might be a good set to walk friends and family through the game. I do like the Chaos stuff however it just a bitter reminder that I gave all my CSM to my brother-in-law who i walked through a half a game and he hasn't touched them since.

Sinister Chaos Marine

I'm loving all of it.
I got some demons at the end of 5th, then came allies, now comes marine battle brother allies for me.
Luck of the chaos devils if you ask me.
Limited edition is a bit of a bust for me since no chaos love but at least I can get a bunch of loyal marines to convert to traitor guard.
On top of the new chaos models that I'm still drooling over days after seeing the pictures.
Plus I hear its about £60 so its a good deal in the GW world.

I'm thinking about picking up the regular for the sake of expanding my CSM army a bit. They need some loving every now and then

Pre-orders start on the 25th, we can assume that it will be released one week later. I myself will be picking one up ASAP! Just look at my picture, rank, and signature if you want a reason. Chaos shall either be Fallen or the start of a Night Lords army.

Ultramarine Master with Gauntlets of Macragge

Most obvious question of the year right here  I think this is gonna fly off the shelves; people will want their mini rulebooks for transportation's sake, and those models are way too cool to pass up.

Mutating Changebringer

I'll pick one up but I'm torn over its use.
I could buy it for my nephews to learn the game... but then I'd have to let them put it all together without me basecoating and painting (which would leave me grinding my teeth while they played).
I could buy it for them for Christmas but open and paint it first so they can start playing right when they get it.
I could also buy the special edition one and:
Keep the Cultists for Necromunda (as they are clearly Necromunda gangs).
Sell the Hellbrute (I like it but have no use for it).
Paint the Chosen and Lord (they look incredible) and let my roommate use them as allies for his daemons.
Maybe keep the DA for myself but more than likely just sell them.
Hold onto the Chaplain for about 10 years and sell it on ebay for a hefty chunk of change.
