If it counts as an HQ then it can perform super heroic acts, whatever those are. They can change the balance of the game, does that mean they are really broken? Something we might ban from our club.

I doubt they brought back the FOC for apocalypse, the bane blade product page describes it as available to all armies in apocalypse.

If your club is banning Apoc units, they have clearly missed the point!

Banning mysterious objectives, yes.

No one is banning app units, we all have some.

But we might ban apocalyptic events if they start removing table tiles and changing the tide of battle with a meteor storm or any other cinematic events.

The advertisement claims heroic events can change the battle, i'm a little worried because we have players who always look to abuse the rules, that's why we have a 3 page-long document for our apocalyptic games.

So that one click apoc bundle costing more than buying the seperate items was addressed by GW.

Do they amend the price of the bundle? Oh come on as if thats GW's style.

They just got rid of the multi squad eldar box sets which is the vypers, walkers and platforms so the price of the bundle is now accurate.

off GW now.

That really is the shadiest thing they've done in a long time. It takes a really low blow to stand out amongst GWs usual antics. Those 3 model sets even had packaging made right?

I just shake my head in awe. Could these guys get any damn less scrupulous? I really don't think my opinion of them as a business could get any lower right now.

I believe the war walkers were all packaged together?

Yep, such a scummy move.

Am I wrong or didn't they just release those three pack sets with the new Eldar book?

Yup, they didn't even last a month before being taken of the shelf again.

Hopefully, it was just to get rid of the stock built up so they can release some new sculpts

Shouldn't we be talking about the big August reveal now anyway?


I'm going BloodBowl re-release, finecast teams retailing at £75 quid a pop, additional books to field a star player and a special codex for cheerleaders detailing the history and attire throughout the ages, 60 pages of fluff detailing the diferent dance moves, and a 2 page spread of actual rules.

Thank god im settled with the armies I have now. I am staying away from GW for a good while until greed bites them back in the ass and they are slapped in the face by justice.

And what would you call "justice"?

They posted a close-up of the Khorne thing's face. I still can't believe someone at GW looked at that and said "Yeah, that's good."

Those datasheets look sweet. I can't wait to see more of them. All my armies are APOC sized...so it will be cool to see how the points changes to stuff alters the size of my armies. I really hope they kept the titanhammer formation. That was one of my favorite formations to run with by Black Templars. I'm also hoping that they actually put in some useful formations for DE for once...

Anyone know if Imperators, Leviathans and other assorted odd Mechanicum things are still in?

Which is actually bizarre. One would imagine they plan these things way longer than month ahead, and they had to do make those new boxes. It is a really strange move.

Maybe they'll be back after the Apoc release is over and it's not making them look bad anymore.

I hope so. Id imagine that you could probably use the old datasheets for them if they arnt in the current rulebook, unless they are prohibited.

Not really, considering this is a thread about apoc.

Are any of those things sold by GW and/or Forge World?

So take a guess.

I'm not giving up hope yet!

Worse case scenario - this is Apocalypse!

I'll just use the old Datasheets!

My warlord titan will be happy to be fielded with any sort of datasheet.

I'll do the same for my Baneblade, so its cost isn't astronomical...

Anyone know how many gamers and collectors editions were supposed to be available?

Would like to judge sales based on the email saying 'only 800 left!' for the gamers edition.

one of them was 1500 world wide

(can't remember which sorry & I deleted the email that told me)

I think the (completely-hidden-and-non-searchable-because-advertising-is-the-devil) YouTube video said 1500 collector's. Of course, by the time that video came out the collector's was sold out in Oz, and today I got the newsletter saying "Buy the collector's/gamer's edition today!" despite the former having sold out by midday Saturday.

Gamer's is already sold out, too. (In Australia)
This was before the Email, IIRC

1500 Collectors, 3000 Gamers.

Not in the U.S. Store.

Friend of mine did manage to order that (he wanted the massive case). I just went for the book/templates/cards in the end (and a Khornemower, and the Eagle Cannon, two sets of turrets and two new bunkers...).
