Hmm... feels dubious.

Thank you mod for updating for me. Not feeling good so can't update as fast.

Thank you.

$150 Cnd? Is it me, or is the price like $30-$50, maybe more than DV with less models?

The trade-off being you get kits with full options, which is always a plus. It's only £10 more than DV over here, so assuming I can get the cash together before it sells out, I may be in on this, even if it breaks my 'no GW' rule.

Whether or not the Bits are worth the price rise is really down to preference.

I would never take terms without storm shields so the termies are pretty useless for me.

Wow there is some nice detail on Krom. I'm sure I missed it, but in case someone didn't link these.

The SW Termy box comes with 'tactical' and 'assault' parts, so SS are included.

Do you think that krom is a single pose figure?

Is there some new terrain in this box?

The pictures show a couple items that I don't recall.

2+ from Artificer/4++ from Belt of Russ, BP and Frost Axe, Wolf Tail Talisman. Interesting.

Yes.

Most likely yes. Not many multipose characters in GW's range (that I'm aware of at least)

Haven't seen anything yet indicating it.

Been a long while since GW threw in some terrain with their Campaign kits.

In the Space Wolves picture it says on the bottom that the box indeed contains a small rulebook as well as a campaign supplement.

Top left of the Ork pic and bottom right of the SW pic - is that terrain from an exhausting kit?

Now I know that is the price I am interested, slightly tempted to do a SW detachment although really I want the rule book then flog the other contents off on eBay, could probably break even.

Bottom right is a crashed Aquila from the UM vs Nids box set as is the top left.

You're right. The angle must have confused me (that or I am over eager to see new things).

Can't wait for this. Looking forward to seeing the new Space Wolf models.

I am much more tempted just based on the price, I hope the discounters pick it up quick and I can get one for lowest price possible, I want a paper rule book (my iPad version is good but I like the tactile paper) and I reckon I can make a chunk of the investment back selling the orks, and maybe most of the wolves if I decide I cant be bothered having a wolf detachment, that will depend on a new codex being forthcoming.

I don't really like the guys at the front. Hair is too long. How would that lot fit inside a helmet?

I've said this before, you also get a campaign book too. At the risk of sounding too much like a GW Rep with my "forge the narrative"-like spiel, a campaign book with various different missions is a great thing for new and veteran players alike. As a new player, it takes me back to the days of Battle for Macragge, which, despite only coming with a handful of models had different missions that provided different ways to play the game. That allowed you to get to grips with the rules more easily, as well as getting more use out of a limited selection of models. As for veteran players, they've all played hundreds of pitched battles, so new types of missions, especially ones set with some sort of backstory, are a welcome refresher. Plus, GW would normally charge at least £20 for such a book, most likely £30, so that's even more value off.

lol Are you critiquing those heads that have been out for like 5 years? And two answers:
1) The same way that anything fits in a helmet...
2) Helmets are for the weak.

So ,historically speaking, does this box set suggest that Space Wolves are next in line for a release?

True. Space Wolves are too manly for helmets.

'Ask again later'

Precedent doesn't mean a lot for GW. My guess is yes, but...

Oh if these pictures haven't been seen yet, here is a close up of the Ork warboss too, along with pages from the actual rules included in it.

I don't know dakkas etiquette for relinking pictures, so I'll just link to this site(it's not mine).

Great looking model, definitely be keeping that.

Any similar pics of the Ork Warboss?

Nevermind!

Yes, the Warboss is amazing as well.

I am absolutely going for one of these sets.

Not quite precedent, but here's the timeline for the armies from the current fantasy starter:

November 2007: High Elves (7th edition) (AT)
November 2009: Skaven (7th edition) (JV)
September 2010: Island of Blood
May 2013: High Elves (8th edition)

So skaven had been a fairly recent release when the starter came out, but High elves were already old, then didn't get a new book for several years after the starter set.

As long as you don't host them on dakka, you're fine.

Laughs, Grukk seems to be very much a digitally recycled AOBR Warboss. The arms, legs and torso are almost straight out of AOBR model, the gun and klaw have seen only small changes.

Obviously this is something that can happen when doing digital sculpting - it's very easy to grab an existing model and modify it a bit - but still feels cheap, somehow!
