I don't want the best army, just one that isn't an exercise in picking up my models by turn 3.

I don't understand what the point of the thread is. Look at title? I look at title and still don't get it. What is the original poster trying to ask? Where the hype went? How come nobody uses it? Was it popular? Did people only buy it for Deathwatch? Did people only buy it for Harlequins?
I don't get it.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Yet the first three comments and myself immediately recognized what was being asked. Automatically Appended Next Post: It's out in the US, went off the store sometime around Christmas. Some stores still have a copy or two, but no more from GW.

So I'm not crazy, it is gone..... Do they do this with box sets often?

Yes, these starters are limited releases. Once the boxes sell out, they do a different one later on.

The only one to really stick around is Dark Vengeance, as it's a "true" starter set, being snap-fit stuff. Dark Vengeance will probably be replaced at some point with a different permanent starter, but otherwise they're usually limited runs.

And your point is? Doesn't matter if a few people got it, I didn't. Are you trying to get around rule number one by not saying anything but still implying something? Yeah thanks for that.
