Chapter House Stuidos.
Lawsuit.
Copyright overreaction.

Only question now is.. are the Custodes and Sisters single-pose models like with the heroes, or are the full blown multi-pose plastics?

Holy crap! All those special snowflakes and we still get 30 MKIII! WOW

Must buy!

That was my thought as well. With the SoS and Custodians, I was only expecting 20 basic guys. Made it a bit more of an iffy buy for me. Getting a better feel for this now.

that is a very good question. Unless they plan on releasing full ranges of them, my guess is that they will be monopose.

Wonderful!

I seriously hope the Custodes come with a better sprue.. No one seems concerned they only show 2 guardian spears, IE the entire reason we even recognize them AS Custodes? Personally I have no interest in random marines with swords as there are tons of those already.

It may have been pointed out, and may also be due to the images low resolution, but not all of the dice look like d6s.

Good point, now that you mention it there does look to be some D8s or D10s in the mix of light blue-grey dice.

AUD$265? Two hundred and sixty five dollerydoos?

God Damn you GW. That's over AUD$100 more than what £95 is converted into AUD. "Shipping costs" and "fluctuating currency rates" do not account for an AUD$100 price hike per box, you thieves. You have literally priced this at 175% what the UK pays for it.

And it's worse for NZ, where the price is 193% the UK's price. What the fething feth GW?

To hell with you...

Does this mean you will not get it?

How much was Betrayal at Calth was for you guys?

Stormwall wrote:Thanks gents for the swift reply. I'll probably wait for the MK3 to be sold separate anyways like when GW did that with the Calth mk4.

Then again, I may not as there appear to be 30 marines per box set.

So pay more for less? Makes no sense to me.

UK prices only but the MKIV boxes are £30 each. Assume a Mk III box would go for the same.

£95 gets you 30 Marines so everything else, effectively, only costs you £5.00. Stormwall can then trade the extra £5.00 worth of miniatures for more Mk III Marines.

Win!

I am going to own so many MkIIIs and Tartaros TDAs. Cannot wait for better pics and the next WD!

Just so happy for Sisters, one step closer to a full Imperium army.

Black Templars, Sisters, Inquisitors and all sorts of mad fanatical . Gonna be GLLLOOOORRRRIIAAAASSSSSSS!

GW using d8s and d10s?!?!?!?!?!?

There's a d16 in the new bloodbowl.

Fortunately for my bank account, I can skip this one. I'm playing a Traitor legion and have no use for the Custodes or Sisters, and I prefer Mk.4.

Looks great though, and I'm happy for those wanting plastic Mk.3.

I see you're ignoring that the Magnus the Red box art clearly shows the faction as "Thousand Sons" .

So full of win! Gonna have to get this box. Use it to plus up my deathwatch styled codex marines and my actual Deathwatch. SOS and eagle bling pimps being icing on this box

Hmmm, I wonder if I will be able to sell the Custodes and Sisters of Silence off easily. Get something more useful for the Legion.

Sweet mary mother of god. 30 suits of armor for my Iron Warriors....So good.

Though to be honest at this point I don't know how many more marines my IW's can have.

I'm in for one box at least. I might then finally paint up my Calth and this boxset and split it just as two legions I can play both board games with. Especially since the cataphractii will look great w/mkiii and vice versa

Sweet Christmas...

single pose models for 2 characters, multicomponent for custodes & sisters.

If true, many sads. :(

You know, I would have a much easier time deciding what Legion I want to make if FW would go ahead and get the Space Wolves Legion rules out. Otherwise I think I will go with Imperial Fists. Get one Burning of Prospero and one Betrayal at Calth. Would give me what I need for a basic Legion army. I would need to get some upgrades to make Breachers and Phalanx Warders.

Now is a very good time to be a new or returning fan. Only just picked up the bac set. Will be getting this one for sure, plenty of space wolf building going on over the winter.

So now my question is how many people are going to buy a bunch of SoS to make a sisters army?

Depends on several things:

The look and pricing of the new Sisters of Battle plastics

If the Sisters of Silence are also becoming a "current" 40k faction - they are def around post Heresy as shown in the Beast novel series.

Do the SOS get expanded on and/or released separately.

Sisters of Battle main dex with a SoS mini dex that runs along side it ala scions? This would amuse me and at the same time fix how they could be shoehorned into the current time line.

All they have to do is have SoS be a super secret unit within SoB, that finally start getting used more overtly in the current crises as the Imperium falls apart, etc, etc, etc.

History could go like: SoS found still existing in M32, get picked up by the Inquisition because they're useful. After Vandire, they get folded into the SoB, OR they're still affiliated with the =I=, and part of their job is to keep an eye on the SoB as well.

All kinds of ways to have them still around but only showing up now.

That Ahriman model is amazing. I'm guessing that's the new "official" one, or do you think they'll do a new 40k version? Wouldn't make sense for him to have both, though.

If you're willing to ship to the UK, i'll reserve the sisters from you

This is just fantastic. Also, it seems that people are quite excited for the sisters and custodes, which will make them easier to get rid of...

No Mk3 heavy weapons? I was hoping for autocannons.

Where are you getting this? There will almost assuredly be a ML or HB on the sprue.

There are none in the pictures. I was hoping for some confirmation of which heavy weapons are on the sprue. Since we already have Mk4 ML and HB I was hoping they'd switch it up. Autocannons would be great, but that might be a long shot given that 40k SM can't take them.

Up until now, there were no flavors of 40k terminators that could take Volkite chargers. Heck, no volkite weapons in any 40k SM army. Yet there one is, on the Tartaros Sergeant.

"Geigor"? Really?

Sounds like a baby trying to pronounce "Gregor" or something. Why can't they use proper Norse names instead of this sillyness?

The name's Geigor. Geigor Counter. My speciality is finding rad stuff.

At least that how I imagine English speakers to pronounce Geiger
