So excited for this. Love that the Cult has made it back into the model range.
Marneus Calgar is referred to as "one of the Imperium's greatest tacticians" and he treats the Codex like it's the War Bible. If the Codex is garbage, then how bad is everyone else?
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal
I was keeping an eye out on how they treated the fluff in this and I think it is spot on.
They honestly think the 'nids are the big awesome saviours to free them from unjust oppression, and that line at the end "None shall survive our ascension" is some top quality capital I Irony.

That truck looks similar enough to my converted ones that I can get away with running them (or at least if slightly modified).
What time do preorders usually go up?
1pm Eastern on Saturday.
You can sometimes find the preorders up by 12:40pm, but the main page will not be updated yet with them so you just have to keep refreshing the "Preorders" section.

Best of luck to you on that.
I have never been able to justify a LE codex to myself. Not once.
I think many of us have that one army that we would.
I tried for Harlequins and it got messed up between my store and GW so I lost out.
I would do it again for Thousand Sons.
I originally did that project for the Baltimore GT partly because I figured it'd make a splash, but mostly because it was this fantasically cool part of the background that had disappeared completely from the fluff.
It was shocking to me that probably 75% of the people I talked to at the GT had NO idea what a GCult was. And although I won best painted, I don't think I got a single players choice vote. A generation of players - raised on a sterilized, streamlined version of the background - were completely perplexed when presented with a GCult.
So we have come a very, very long way in the past 8 years, and I'm going to celebrate by dropping stupid money on a (very nice) book.

Well at least one person responsible for that is someone you never have to worry about standing in the way again.
This is likely to be the first Codex I'll purchase since 3rd edition. No interest in playing the main game, but I'll use the fluff and lists to play other games.
What do LE versions usually have that standard versions don't? Haven't paid a terrible lot of attention to them.

I never thought I'd see it happen.
