Heaven forbid someone uses these for anything other than 40k.

agreed, I planned on usingthem in a game against the trenchers from troll forge, untill a few more mutants come out. Then post apocolyptic

Wow. It looks surprisingly good painted. I don't have a need for these right now but I'm FAR more inclined to just buy some anyway.

Around these parts, almost everything is judged near-exclusively based on its applicability for 40k use, nothing else seems to matter.

At the stated price, I'll go for a box of these, giving me 10 stormtroopers or veterans plus extras for heavy weapons and variations.

For those that like me don't have access to video from work:



I'm definatelly going to buy at least 40 of these guys, slap some Pig Iron heads on them and use them as a platoon to my IG. Now I just need to get some ideas on how to do the HWTs...

Yeah, how dare people look at things through the prism of 40K usage on what is a 40Kcentric forum. That way lies madness.

It's not so much a prism as a filter. or a set of blinders, if you like.

At this point, only a fool would start a DoW army.

Or start Chaos Dwarves, Squats, or Dark Eldar, for that matter.

All of these armies dead & buried until further notice from GW, and I wouldn't advise anybody to start any of them. At least, not in good conscience.

Yeah, my 1/2 finished chaos stunty army is just sitting around collecting dust.

Wow, the combat shotgun had me really interested, these underslung weapons do not. Put the handle on the right way and I like it.

Other wise I say please keep the standard 5 bodies per sprue and sell a special weapon spure in addition.

That's odd, because of those three, you can still buy one of them as a freely available and supported army. Not supported very well mind you, but supported none-the-less. Hell, in GW's upcoming Battle Missions book they even get their own section.

So are they dead and buried, or is your moon-landing-denial bias coming back in full force - or did someone just touch a nerve with the Dogs of War comment?

so does anyone have a full price set for these guys (as in):

blister
sprue
box set
possible multi box deal?

That was talked about, the deal is each sprue is several thousand dollars to craft so squeezing everything onto one sprue cuts costs and risk in half.

If they are a hit there is no shortage of ideas for expansions but for their first foray into science fiction they wanted something that could be done on one sprue.

I don't really have anything to say. I just wanted to quote that picture.

-They won't be blister packed
-3 figs on a sprue for $5
-18 in a box for $19.95 MSRP
-No word on a box deal, WF says there might be a special sprue deal before the box set comes out.

As a reminder, GW's 10 year old Catachans are 10 for $22.

Update-they're now giving thought to a command/heavy weapon sprue and taking suggestions.

and your just one opinon, look they normally have pre-orders for only 1000 sprues now that sounds like a lot to some people but that isn't...these great coats have gone up to 3000, and are still looking at rising and thats just pre-orders. No matter what some of you nah sayers may have to say obviously a TON of people want these(myself included for 15 sprues).

Okay, if the deal is 18 for 19.95 I am in. Just please give those guns normal grips!
