If it can happen to the likes of Microsoft, Sony and Amazon then I'm not really surprised that the website is struggling at the moment.

They can't help it either that the server got stressed out from so many people visiting at the same time.

It hapens a lot in games and on other sites to. So havee some patience.

Well... after that if people still complain about the "silence policy" of GW. It just prove that leaked pictures and good rumors in advance is enought to shutdown the entire website due to high demand. I hope GW won't associate his short trailer and vague informations to have cause such high hype on the website... I can't wait to see the face of the marketing director of GW on Monday morning

Grrr.... Cheese make me fart...

Well even if I did get a concussion and want to pay double price for a Salamanders dust jacket, they will surely all be gone by the time the site loads for me.

So I am actually glad I can't get through right now lol.

But the pictures coming through on B&C are awesome.

I think the Stern box is worth the money if you compare it to the terminator box.

The silence policy has nothing to do with the shutdown.

The popularity of the Space Marines does. This is their #1 army in their #1 system. Concretely demonstrating that the SM releases are obviously their big bank.

Ad yes, the SG pictures are completely outstanding. That kit is pretty amazing. Crazy expensive, but they really went to town on it.

I'm actually excited about all this. It's been a while and I'm glad GW can still do that to me.

WOW, so you are paying $57 USD for:
-Cover Art
-Clear Dust jacket
-Gold Edged Pages
-Colored ribbon

over the normal codex....

The page count is exactly the same.

For shame.

Sigh......I wish I had more money to spend right now....I would buy so many more things than I have.

O well 250 was already pushing it anyway.....

Now if only those damn sprues would load.......

God I wish I could justify one of those limited editions......Seriously that succesors one makes me sooooo happy. As do almost all of them.

Up close, and the 360s really make the centurions look better....Plus all those weapon bits designed to be mounted.....HRRRGGGHHH

Sternguard: I am seeing, two combi-flamer, two combi-plasma, two combi grav, two storm bolters, one combi-melta, one each of melta, plasma, grav, one heavy flamer, and one heavy bolter.

The tactical squad is the one with the modular combi-weapons and comes with all of them....so could theoretically make one of each from every tactical kit. AWESOME..

I will trade everyone for the drum fed bolter in the sternguard kit. that looks so cool.
Also for the combi-flamer parts from the tactical sprue.

I see a lot of bit trades/buys in my future from these kits....God damn

Site seems to be "slowly" accessible at the moment. Limited Edition Codex is tempting, but don't think it's for me. Best of luck to those who get them!

Not having a separate Chaplain from the start is quite annoying. Betting on that "which is currently only available" piece. If the box included one of the new squads, I'd consider it, but a Command Squad and Razorback? Gotta tempt me more than that GW!

Also surprised at the lack of One-Click collections.

Why would there be more pages? If there were, people would be complaining that their non-special edition one was "incomplete" or what have you.

Okay, I take no credit for these. These all come from Shaun Carlin on B&C> He might well have stolen them too, but hey, I'll cite my source, lol.

Marneus Calgar is referred to as "one of the Imperium's greatest tacticians" and he treats the Codex like it's the War Bible. If the Codex is garbage, then how bad is everyone else?

I've got to hand it to GW to be smart enough not to release Space Marines at the same time as the new edition. This will be a nice cash injection mid-edition.

And I'm sure we'll be seeing more "leaked" pictures in the future, based on the success of this release. It seems clear to me that this "leaks" are just GW's new marketing strategy. (If someone really had the White Dwarf a month ago, there was plenty of other stuff to leak).

Same here by far the most attractive cover, imo, and the chapter I have been wanting to run, anyway!

I use alternate models and so pretty much only buy rules from GW these days... but they got me with that cover
