The limits codex looks really nice.

With the dice there appears to be a new genestealer with ymargl head is that new?

What time do preorders go up for us Americans on the east coast?

Honestly. I'd be surprised if we get another kit after the truck. Unless GW modus operandi has changed, they don't release new stuff more than a week after the codex is release.

Guess we won't get any new characters, theyll probably rebox the three characters of overkill (Weren't they all on the same sprue ?). It's a shame for the aberrants though, but well, still is a great release.

The Deathwatch Codex dropped week one, and there were two more weeks of releases after that. My guess would be we may be in for something similar here. Week one we get the Codex, cards, dice and two boxes. Week two we get the truck and maybe the characters in one box and the rest of Overkill as a rebox in another. Week three would see the release of GSC branded IG - vehicles and maybe infantry, hopefully with some kind of upgrade sprue. (That last week is maybe a bit of wishlisting, but I can see it being possible.)

I think it is usually late morning - maybe 10:00 or 11:00 EST? I know it is never up when I first get up, but always is after lunch.

1pm EST but it could be anywhere from 12:00pm to after 1:00PM. When I tried to get the Dark Angel Collector's Edition I think it updated a 12:45pm so get ready on that F5 refresh. I missed out on it. Wasn't fast enough.

No.

I wouldn't worry about the le book. The last dozwn limited books took days to sell out. Only the limited dark angels sold out in minutes, but they were the posterboys of 6th and 7th, and have been a mainstay for 40k for almost two decades..

I would, however, worry about those ballin' purple translucent genestealer dice. They're already "Temporarily out of stock" on both the AU and NZ games workshop pages that have opened up the preorders. They're gonna go faster than the codices.

Yeah... you guys should all just relax and order it on Sunday....

*sets alarm*

The Genestealer Cult has a...well... 'cult' following. And seeing as how they've never really had an official codex of their own, I'm guessing there are quite a few out there wiling to part with some serious coin for this release...heck, I'm coming out of retirement for it.

But then again, I'll be happy if I'm wrong. Then there's less of a chance that I'll miss out by not hitting F5 fast enough tomorrow morning.

Are any Bolt Action players able to give a size comparison between Warlord's plastics and the Overkill Cultists?

It would be interesting to see if the better proportioned Neophytes bits could potentially be used with, say, Warlord's new US Paratroopers.

Hope this shows. Anyway glad to join the forums.

OMG. Those mining vehicles are jaw dropping!

Third picture in the top left, vehicle has a very large weapon on that support arm thing.

Nice catch! It's like a giant seismic cannon.

Also, those are normal older style genestealers in the third picture.

I can see those turning up in IG and Ork armies.

Loving the drill shield.

So... some sort of multi-purpose truck and cadian conversion kits?

So looks like the trucks can have autocannons, heavy Flamers, the giant laser drill or giant seismic cannon?

If you have plenty of spare Guardsman bits, the Neophyte sprues look like they come with close to 20 heads.

Not to mention some sort of prow that can probably do a lot of damage in tank shock and ram attacks.

OK, at least one mining truck fro my orks. And that drill plow will make for a great reinforced ram/deff rolla, whichever I feel like running.

Thanks auro. Great first post. These trucks are really big. Price will be an issue

Okay GW. This will make me hold off for a bit on unleashing the next rant about where the heck the 10 kits EACH that Eldar, Orks, and Chaos Space Marines are in need of. So many folks will enjoy this release that you get a pass...for a while.

I like those bald heads those Cadians have in that photo. If that's a separate conversion sprue like the chapter iconography ones, making Savlar Chem-Dogs just got a lot easier.

Preorders are up, confirmation of Web Pistol and Boneswords

Metamorphs look like full-on Cronenberg body-horror and are thought to be what happens when a hive fleet approaches a prey planet, looks like they're expanding the background quite a bit

There are 17 total heads in the Neophyte Hybrids box. A headswap on the guardsmen would be easy enough. I suspect that's all it is and there isn't a full upgrade sprue.

I count 19 (15 on the main sprue, 4 on the special weapons sprue)

Hmmmmm do I jump straight in and get a vehicle to go alongside my Overkill set or a vehicle for my House Escher gang to ride the underhive in style?

Best get two! ;-)

Ugh, damn my self-imposed austerity measures. GW at it again making me spend money I don't want to. They really have been knocking it out of the park this year. I think I'll probably pick up one of each of the boxes and add them to my Overkill stuff to form an immense pile of models that I will never play any games with. And to make cool Inq28 kitbashes while I pretend that Inquisitor has decent rules. Because they are that cool.

Someday I might even get in a game of Kill Team with them.

Why are the Australian pre orders links for the digital editions not working? Is that normally the case?

I thought I wasn't interested in this release, but the models,are pretty sweet. I love the Metamorphs, the mutations are really cool. And I love all the heads with the mining gear and sunglasses and stuff. The vehicle looks awesome from the pics we have of it so far too. Really impressed.

Yup, that vehicle will be a great conversion base for a battlewagon.

And those figure kits will be great bit sources for Chaos and Necromunda modellers.

Even if the GSC codex itself sucks (fingers crossed that it doesn't though), GW will get plenty of well-deserved sales from these kits.
