FYI - The Deimos Pattern Damocles Command Rhino Upgrade Kit is now £18 (rather than £35!).

Is that a stealth reduction? They didn't announce it anywhere?

$28 is still a bitter pill.

Right.

I'm glad the radar dish/hatch on my Salamander one was in a different box from the gak that got jacked.


Was considering grabbing another one for my EC but not for $28 bucks considering it doesn't have the cool commander and console. I'm just gonna repaint it in a neutral scheme that works for either.

I’m guessing that they accidentally put it on for either the old price or a combined kit price, rather than upgrade only?

That would be the logical assumption. However this is GW we're dealing with, so I wouldn't be shocked if they tried that on just to see what'd happen.

Thanks for the heads up! Wanted to get a Damocles upgrade anyways, glad I waited a bit and got it at the new price

So now I finally know what to do with those Chapter specific Deimos Rhino doors I bought earlier..

Hanlons razor is getting mightly blunt with the ammount GW requires it.

I’m guessing the fuel line is on another sprue with the shoulder armor. All three Imperial Cerastus Knights not only have different weapons and heads but different shoulders as well. The Mechanicum Cerastus Knight will probably be redesigned as a resin upgrade since it has different shins and back carapace.

I can't imagine there'd be a second extra sprue for the other patterns, I would think either we will lose the variation in shoulder pads or possibly the main kit will include multiple shoulder pads, depending on space. I suspect the fuel line may just be gone unfortunately.

Yeah, FW is Friday, and then GW is Saturday for pre orders

Yep - sorry everyone. Brain fart...

Anyone know why plastic Jetbikes remain so difficult to order - even from GW directly?

Because the automated systems in the new warehouse are still riddled with bugs. From what I've heard, it's a problem that doesn't seem to have light at the end of the tunnel as yet.

£27.50 for the Imperial Fists Decurion
Nearly thirty quid for half a model. The guy doesnt even have legs.
One day i wont experience sticker shock with FW prices anymore, but today is not that day.

I do love his helmeted option tho... must. not. buy...

Nearly £30 for half a model is a bit too rich for my blood. This is my biggest shock from them in a while in terms of how they price things. I really like the mini and think it's class but not that much.

When you consider the Libby is the same price... What a whiff.

Still better than AL headhunters. Those are half marine infantry...
Not that this is any better though.

Yikers, good thing all the tank kits come with commander minis.

I've turned to FW bits sellers, which are by no means cheap, but save you from having to buy the full model. Mainly because there are certain bits on FW models that I really, really like, but either the price or the rest of the model turns me away. Egg head miniatures is my go-to, though there may be cheaper alternatives.

The issue is that most people usually are gunning for the same bits, ie, heads, so unless you're waiting for their restocks to go live, you'll probably miss out.
I did get the esoterist consul helmet though, so its def worth a shot

I'll be waiting for the cheaper alternatives that we can't talk about here. That's completely ridiculous pricing.

Holy Hell... the Terminator Captain guy is AUD$92?

Sheesh 54.30 CHF. The 92 AUD$

Rest of the world category 62$ or 56.06 CHF.

Remind me, what is median income in australia?

Edit 6650 aud$ so 3’921.45 CHF. So you earn about 2600 CHF less in median...

Seems fair

there are a number of remarkably skilled individuals who create alternatives (and entirely legal, free of any IP issues with original works), I can't imagine it will take long

Sooooo.....is the Siege of Chtonia book direct only? Because, I want the Zone Mortalis rules and my Inductii, but $60? Owwww.....

Yes, direct only.

It's worth it. The quality is absolutely on par with the Black Books from HH 1 and it was an absolute joy to read through.

Promise me Gert, old buddy. Are the 8th Legion Inductii and Zone Mortalis rules that good?

ZM certainly seems fun but I've not had a chance (or a board) to use them yet.

The NL Inductii are Despoilers that lose a Ld on the Sarge, swap their Chainswords for Breaching (6+) knives and you can get two extra models to fight at Initiative 10 in a Challenge (3 total). These extra models do have a chance of knifing the Sarge instead but it's only if you roll a 1 for their test.

The story itself is really good IMO and definitely worth a proper read. Also, it has pretty pictures.

It's much better for SoH or Fists players but as someone who loved the OG campaign books, this is definitely up to par with the previous installations without having that requirement of them being vital rulebooks.

I also feel it important to point out that Inductees are both Support and Line.

Oh yeah forgot about the basic Inductii rules.
Inductii become Support Squads, can't be joined by Characters or assigned Characters, and can't take Artificer.
As additional troops I like them and NL have one that has cool rules and fits their background perfectly.

We're having a lot of fun playing ZM at 1500 points. As an IH player it's taking some adjusting to only having a single dreadnought and not having tanks - but that's a good thing!

Wait, wait, wait. You mean if you roll a for the test they knife their own sergeant? That's........ hilarious.

Best, Night Lords rules, ever! These guys really get the 8th Legion.

Meanwhile, in 40K land.........
