Good to know that GW reprints limited edition Codices when they feel like it.

It's a common misconception. The key is realizing that it's only limited by their corporate greed.

Completely agree.

Just incase we're missing something, this offers no new content? Correct?

Deja vu, all over again.

Technically it includes the Black Legion supplement, but given past "all-new" offerings that probably only consists of previously published text and previously unpublished artwork...

I am sure the price tag has never been seen before.

Perhaps the new SoB dex will eventually be included in a Special Edition SM dex ...

:(

If it were to be like this bundle, it would be part of an "Imperium" special edition--with Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, Space Marines, (maybe) Sisters of Battle and supplements.

A Sisters of SM Codex would certainly sell

What's that phrase again... "A fool and his money...".

I believe you meant: "There's a sucker born every minute.."

GW are betting on that.

GW said:
"What!? They actually buy our ridiccolus limited edition books?
Well, lets make an even more absurd offer and se how it goes."

I just hope this is not the rumored "chaos supplemntes" that were to focus on the specific gods and mix marines and daemons.

yeah,

Panic...

Still waiting for this aforementioned "cool stuff".

I love the hate this is getting. I never got any of the aforementioned books, and I am planning on a BL army with demon allies, so this set is actually great for me. Even for the added cost.

I love it when people excuse any and all criticism by calling it "hate". It must be the gamer equivalent of screaming "racist".

Half of these will be brought solely to resell on eBay for a profit, which makes it even worse for me.

For the price I'd expect everything to be signed. Would be nice if they started including a limited mini with the big sets as well.

In your case it would simply be the equivalent of "Grumpy Old Man Syndrome"

That's a good point. GW used to offer limited edition minis with army deals and the like not long ago, but they stopped, and I can't remember what the reason given for that was. Considering that damn near everything they release, even essential gaming items like templates, is a limited edition now, I wonder why they haven't gone back to doing limited edition minis. Surely it would make sense if what everyone says is true and these limited editions really are selling so well (which personally I doubt, they sell out because of opportunists thinking they can make fortunes on eBay and because they're printed in such extremely small numbers).

Of course after I typed this I remember the interrogator chaplain from Dark Vengeance but still, that was the first limited mini for quite a while.

Well, he qualified why he doesn't hate it, but by only quoting that line out of context, yeah, he does appear really dismissive of dissent. Good point.

Also it is nice seeing things going back to normal here .

Got the Nov WD


Honestly, there isn't much mentioned about the Chaos Collection. Inside the big tome, the 4 books (C:CSM, Black Legion, C:CD and an unamed art folio) are rebound with an aspect of the Daemonic Mandala, it was on the front cover of all the LE C:CD books.

Released along side this is 5 Chaos Dice Cubes, containing 25 normal dice, a scatter die and an artillery die.

1 contains green dice (Nurgle)
1 contains red dice (Khorne)
1 contains blue dice (Tzeentch)
1 contains grey dice (Slaanesh)

the final one contains a mixture of all 4 colours.


Also, the hardback version of Black Legion is released, as well as the Pandorax supplement for Apocalypse, finally!

Heh. You going to paste that picture into every thread? I think we're cool with just 'Got the new WD' unless it is a picture appropriate to the conversation.

That being said, interesting to hear!

Are those just ordinary coloured dice ? Or do they have something more ?

Dice with the symbols of each god would be nice.

Heh, just posting it so someone who hasn't seen the other threads doesn't go "Where's your proof?"

but I'll spoiler it.


From what I can tell from the picture, the dice themselves are just recoloured. However, the contains are the usual dice cube ones. They are black and have the chaos star on each side.

The Chaos Dice got a separate thread:

I was planning on making a comment about how the only person this could possibly be for is the person in your exact situation and no one else.

The lmited edition Chaos Marine book just came with a cheap letter telling you that you how much of fool you were for purchasing this book. As did daemons. It was the same book, except it was pasted in cheap blood, and the daemon one had some of Blanche's poorer artwork as a cover.

Oh and hate?

Great defensive strategy there. 10/10 would concede in debate. Truly targeting the crictisims made by people

My wallet feels emptier already.... It's an expensive time to play Chaos/Sons of Horus

That's my negative ned theory anyway

I would still by a dreadfleet set given the chance
