Yes Please omnomnom xD

OR you could get a Decimator with 2 butcher cannons

**Bloodfrenzy187**

I really want the Chaos side of the box so most likely will be looking to trade my DA stuff for more chaos stuff. The chosen armor really looks great I can't wait to put some paint to them.

I'm thinking its going around the £70 region as that's what's been pitched in this thread. However if its going to cost £90 or so due to its limited edition nature I'd be buying the normal version then (any news if its just the limited edition being released, or will both version at the same time?). That's a lot of cash just for one more model (seriously....I mean your making a huge saving if you were to buy the stuff separately, but an extra £10/£20 for exclusiveness is silly). =/

I'd hope it's no more than £70, though they'd have to not be snap fit models if you ask me. £61.50 is already a lot of cash for AoBR. Sadly I can see them jacking the price up an extra 10 or 20 quid to cash in on the impulse buyers (sadly I'm one of them, I do want that Chaplain though...) siting that particular model as the exclusive.

Hey ho, whatever, bring it on

In either case Demon pilots are always BS3 so even with two butcher canons your looking at 4 hits, what a GK psyfledread averages anyway.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
It will depend on cost but I am guessing the two TL-Reaper Autos on one arm is best purchase.

**lord_blackfang**

Oh, are we back to guessing stuff we already know?

The set is £65, €85, preorders on the 25th.

EDIT: And Hellbrutes are BS4.

Well, that's it for the nonsense in the last few posts, at least.

**kitch102**

Awesome, where's it say that?

**mikhaila**

Confirmed the Sep. 1st date with my rep just now.

I'll be putting it out for sale at my shop at 1 second after midnight. (We game late fridays with about 30 guys at the shop, so sort of a no brainer. )

Cost in the US is 99.99 for the basic set available after Sept 7th.

The first run will be 108.00 and contain a limited edition Dark Angels interegator chaplain.

**Deadshot**

UK people we're talking about 70 for the Limited edition (which is about £9 over AOBR for the adition of 3 characters) and about 65 for the standard, which is about £4 for AOBR equivilents+ Libby and Sorceror.

**Vitruvian XVII**

If its only £4 more the ltd ed ill be shocked! Will definitely get it at that price.

**KhornateCake**

Sorry, don't know if this is a repost and a little off topic, but..: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog.jsp?pid=3600024

I hate these things.

But atleast it confirms Chaos being released too!, the guys looking like Word Bearers to me.

**Grey Templar**

Silly GW, always behind itself in releasing Information

It's just showing the lord and chosen from the starter set, it doesn't confirm anything beyond that.

And they're the Crimson Slaughter, not the Word Bearers.

Ahh thankyou very much!

So am I right in expecting the Starter set AND Chaos codex coming out in the same month?

That is what everyone is hoping and some of the rumors are pointing to.

**KhornateCake**

Oh god lord, might aswell just give GW my credit card on the 25th...

We all hope for that, but at the same time the lack of a hint in the newest White Dwarf is not good thing. Doesn't mean it won't happen though!

**Grey Templar**

GWs become even more paranoid lately. I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped putting teaser pages in WD at all.

I wish whoever does the leaks at GW would send them a letter saying how "it is useless to resist"

September WD has a picture of a Dark Angel and "The War rages on!".

**Grey Templar**

Yeah, but that was probably decided and all qued up before the major leak was done.

**Rivet**

$99.99 that is cheaper than Assault on Black Reach. That is nifty at least, right?

**CuddlySquig**

A strange looking piece of work, that hellbrute. Looks like the CSM are becoming more cartoony than ever. That picture of the announcement message made me smile. Someone's going to get into a lot of trouble for this

Of course, the lettering would have to be done in letters cut out of a magazine and the envelope would have to be delivered personally.

**Brometheus**

New video with CSMs in it. It looks like the fellows from the starter. I bet tomorrow will have DA.

**SpitfireArsonist**

Is this the appropriate thread to set up future trades of the new starter's contents, or is that better reserved for the swap shop?

Swap shop I would think

**The Shadow**

Frankly rather chuffed that the Limited Edition is only a fiver more than the normal one which, in itself, is actually reasonably well priced!

*Gives GW a hug*

Yeah, I figured as much, but I was hoping I could expedite the whole process by doing an in person trade with someone in the Los Angeles area.

This makes me very excited! I cannot wait to dig into this box and begin preparations (hopefully) for the new codex (if it comes out in September, for Chaos). My noise marines are aching to get back on the table and convert new followers to Slaanesh.

Or you could convert the loyalists into traitors.
CSM are traitor marines after all.

**drbored**

The video is promising, but like others have said, they'll probably have another video featuring Dark Angels.

Yet.. they might not.
