Maybe the assume everyone already has 27 million Ultramarine transfers that are the correct size for power armor?

I only have 25 million. :(

I'll be starting one of the "forgotten" legions, the Iron Hands. I'm already building some fortifications for them.

They're not forgotten, merely shattered.

Alpha Legion (!) and Raven Guard for me!

need to get me some different ones.

You should contact Apologist, who might be willing to trade those helmets...

I've already doomed myself with 3 Horus Heresy armies:

White Scars:


Alpha Legion:


And Mechanicum! My wallet lies in ruins...

Alpha Legion for me too, just have to decide if I want them more turqoise, purple or blue...

Really liking the characters in this set too.

Time to do Pre-heresy Imperial Heralds/Word Bearers-

Crud. Wrong mark of armor, I am SOL. I would laugh but this pains me currently... by the time MK4 existed the WB had their primarch...

I'll be doing Death Guard. Already got Morti, Grave Warden, Darkshroud & Typhon as well as some troops.
Will be mixing & matching the armour patterns to represent them scavenging spares.

Not sure if I'm going to add to my Iron Hands (who are mainly MK III) or start another legion - although I'm edging towards Iron Warriors...

What's up with the tiny hex board? You think the game rules will actually be any good? Anyone try the Assassin game they did recently? was that any good?

Meh, the set is ok I guess, but nothing that spectacular.

Dark Angels, of course.

Getting back on topic: they're Tigrus pattern Bolters, yeah?

I dunno, I would probably do Alpha Legion. That way I can reliably use them in 40k as both Loyalists and Chaos while still being Fluff-accurate!

Deathguard for me.

Its kind of a great deal if you are into the HH...or just MK4 Maximus armored marines (and plastic Contemptor!)...since everyone has the same wargear (or at least very similar). you don't have to split the box with anyone...combine everything into one force and it's decent sized. Certainly a good deal for those who were intrigued by the FW resin stuff, but put off buying because of the price. I assume we are now up to $150 for one of these box games?

Yes. Check out the sprue pics on page 1.

Never played the assassins game, but here's how I look at it -- it's a good deal on a bunch of 30K minis, with a free game also in the box. *shrug* I'll probably give the game a try at some point with my kids.

Some folks on FB are suggesting £115... although I think I am now getting in on this regardless.

Word Bearer (Aura's fave Traitor Chapter, those new transfers are a right bonus) and Probably Dark Angels.

I agree. If the price is low, sure, I'll grab it up as is, but I only really want the Contemptor and they will pop up all over ebay now. There's nothing here that really helps 100% what I wanted to do with my 30k army besides the basics, which I'm not in a rush to buy. I'm a bit underwhelmed. I think there was too much hype leading up to this and seeing it in full color, I want more. A lot more.

I can't decide between III and XVI ... leaning to SoH right now. But I love EC purple, too. May have to do both. This is thin ice.

@MDS The guy who did the unboxing has confirmed that the box costs 95 GBP in England

The price in Germany is 125 EUR according to people who have seen the demo boxes and had a chat with shop managers.

Its £95 I think.

I hope they use the Euro conversion rate when coming up with the price in USD.

Hehe The US price was posted earlier. It is said to be 150$

Anybody find it interesting that the rule book looks almost exactly like a FW HH book? Same font, layout, colours, formatting...

Damn it, GW is chasing me after I escaped with all the cool people to the Horus Heresy.

Ah good news, might get two then.

So which legion are you all going for?

I am looking at with death guard or alpha legion myself

Already have Sons, must decide on a dirty loyalist force I suppose....

Dang it. I already have far too many TSons to paint already without needing to buy this set. Even at Canadian prices the thing should be a steal. Maybe I'll go off and paint some models right now to justify buying this...

Hopefully the almost guaranteed success of the game will convince GW to make more marks of armour in plastic.Thus far I have resisted buying any FW kits and I will be super happy if my patience pays off and I can get everything in glorious plastic instead.
