For those who can't be buggered.




Lots of Hobbit stuff. No surprise there.

Ultra limited marine codex $250.00US , milk that cow GW milk it

Ah, so there will be a hobbit month.

So much for the other thread saying there won't be.

That list looks about as credible as Boris Johnson in a suit.

Say what? $250 for a codex? I don't care how limited it is, are they taking people's money and using it to buy crack?

*Raises Hand* Where IS the Smaug Miniature

...So they'd really publish the "the desolation of Smaug" book - without Smaug? Wow if that really is due to New Line shenanigans; that's going to hurt them where they feel it.

Maybe they invested in an enlarging ray and thy are waiting for delivery

"Barrels out of bond"

Wut.

We'll see if a more credible source also produces this list.

Any details on this Space Marines codex? A box set like the Chaos one that just came out? Codex, supplements and artwork?

It's the part of the Hobbit where they escape the Elvish dungeons by hiding in barrels and riding down the river to Laketown. So presumably something like some Elf guards or some Lakemen, and some Dwarves half-in/half-out of barrels.

Well, there were lots of people who bought all of the separate limited edition cover variants for the hardback space marine codex (seemed to sell out pretty quickly), so all of them will buy the new $250 Ultima edition too.

If there's a demand for it, why not sell it?

What is the saying about a fool and his money. dont blame GW, blame the fools

I was actually expecting some superheavies to be released alongside Escalation. I guess that won't even be happening.

As a Tyranids/Eldar player, I won't be buying a Forge World titan or Harridan in order to pay $50 for this optional expansion.

Well, if true, that's a pretty lame batch of releases.

*sigh* And here I was hoping that Xmas might bring me those shiny new plastic Greater Daemons Harry & Hastings have long hinted about... Looks like the earliest release slot for them will now be summer.

Hmm. This codex money is really burning a hole in my pocket too...

Also, is Blood of Sigmar a fantasy supplement or the like?

Isnt december/ normally a dry period for models for their Flagship lines anyway? Y'know, allow the releases early so the customers put them on their wishlist

I thought the Hobbit line was supposed to be one of their poorer performing ones? Why do an entire month for it then and have absolutely nothing for their better selling lines? Then again, they couldn't be bothered to update any of the Aspect Warrior sculpts when they did the new Eldar releases, so I suppose there's precedent for making silly decisions.

Widely suspected, but we don't actually know.

According to 40K Radio, February is a Hobbit month...

It sounds like a parody, but it could be correct. Also the limited plastic bisters and boxes for the Hobbit.

I predicted that there will be no Hobbit starter set in December, seems I was right.
And the other thread didn't say there won't be Hobbit releases, and you know it damn well. And you still say it with a straight face. Amazing. I will remember that.

Hmmm. Not much to get excited about here. I was fairly certain that a new 40k codex would be announced. I wonder if GW will stop making LOTR stuff after the series concludes. Anyway Looks like December is going to make 20 people very happy indeed.

So much venom, Kroot. You need to get your humours aligned.

When did they predicted this. IIRC they said they ddn't rebember what was in February

Back in August. They said they didn't remember exactly, but thought it was Hobbit related.

So December is "Deadzone" month then!
I like how GW is helping out the competion
