Which means about 7am for those of us in east coast Australia.

I'm going to just because the model value inside far outstrips the cost of the box. The BA models alone cover the full cost. And...I can't pass up a BA exclusive mini.

Combined with DV and Stormclaw, I can do a nice little combined army that has BA, DA, SW and my standard Ultras. It'd look interesting.

Plus, y'know, more 'Nids. What's an 11th Carnifex to someone who already has 10?

The preorders would go up 2 to 2:30pm EST here in the East Coast of the US; which I think is more like 5am for the East Coast of Australia.

Looking at the Void Shield generator thread, and my posts in that thread, they went up at about 7am.

Of course that was before daylight savings... hmm...

All I can do is mention the 2-2:30pm EST thing for the US. That's the timeframe when I see the preorders go up, with most of them hitting around 2:15.

Khaine was 2:20 and sold out by 2:23 or 2:24.

Melbourne is currently GMT+11, if that helps any?

According to conversions, it's 6am East Coast Oz for 2pm East Coast US.

Looks like another all-nighter for me. It's ok. Got plenty of Borderlands to play.

Perfect.

Just logged on to see if I could find out when this went on sale for East Coast of Australia and bang there it is.

Plus I usually wake up around 6:00am, so no biggy.

I never claimed to be great at math!

You know what's better than 11? 12. Better buy two boxes.

No need. Just bitz order another body. There's enough other stuff in the box to make three Carnifexes.

But then you'd have 13, that's no good. Need another one at least to make 14, because 14's a lucky number.

I like the yellow stripes they painted on the carapace of some of the models, too, I just noticed that earlier. Reminds me of the kaiju from Pacific Rim.

I wouldn't mind having 12 fragiosos as well from a BA player perspective.

Not quite.

I currently have 5 (I think) unbuilt Carnifexes, and 5 built, and another one build, but I did the ol' Carnifex torso flip so he's huge and tall and standing upright (I've used him as a big Hive Tyrant). I'm probably going to do that again.

I have 6 Dakka Fexes, 2 Stone Crusher, 1 old 3rd edition and a Stone Crusher Plastic Old one eye conversion. I feel my 11th will come in like a wrecking ball.

Is this boxset likely to be that limited? Did the SW vs Orks one sell out very quickly?

The online ones did in some regions,

but the shop stock hung around a bit longer

It took two days for the Stormclaw set to go out of stock online here in the US.

When it comes to models, they seem to last a bit longer than books.

Okay. Cheers.

My own local store has 8 Stomclaw boxes still, and even more Space Hulk so 'limited' isn't a real thing in some places.

My local GW (Coventry, so a city of 300,000+ people) had Stormclaw boxes available 2 weeks after release. I think it is just pot luck really Souleater. If you want a box or 2 direct from GW I would recommending pre-ordering from your local store, if you have one. Maybe the fact that it would be an ideal Christmas present may see it sell out quicker?

So I live in Sweden, how fast do you figure they will sell out? I'm pretty sure the Storm Claw or what ever it was named hanged around for several weeks.

I am going to try to get the Blood Angels half of the box at my FLGS, but if that doesn't work I will probably be able to get the whole thing at one of my other stores I frequent. I added a ton of stuff to my Amazon wishlist for my birthday coming up.

Just for the sake of completeness:

The box is $125 for effectively $322 worth of product.
The only things I did not factor into this price were the Captain and Broodlord, as neither model can reliably be priced out IMO.

If one had to price them? You'd be looking at another $24.75(current price on the existing Broodlord figure--more likely $30) for the Broodlord and $37-$40 on the Captain figure(closest pricing estimate is the Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun box)--bringing the contents of the box up to a price tag of $383.75 just going off list prices.

The rulebook price I used was the $58 for the hardback mini rulebook since it's "just" the rules and the nearest analogue.

From Nafta:

This is really fun, as the latest has us seeing a new Blood Angel Codex, Tacticals, Sanguinary Priest, and wait for it.......... Smaug. Yes, no one really thought a Smaug would be built, but its happening. Also a new Blood Angel codex going up for pre-orders, its going to be a great week.


Please remember that these are rumors, but are very reliable. These are next week's pre-orders.

via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
Lots of releases next week including some surprises. There are lots of hobbit releases, including Smaug. Smaug is extremely huge will be listed for expert modelers only. Of course he is going to cost you almost 500 dollars US, but this is a huge model standing over lots of gold and two columns with Bilbo hiding beneath.

Blood angels get their codex next week. The cover is an assault marine wielding a plasma pistol and and chainsword, overall a nice looking cover.

Blood Angels also get new datacards and dice, but more importantly blood angels get a new tactical squad with lots of options. Shoulder pads, helmets and blood angel symbols are everywhere. It looks like a full box of bits. Heavy Flamer is also in the box.

Last but least there is a new Sanguinary Priest with with a extra machinery on the backpack, a blood chalice, and a nice looking chainsword.

Indeed. We shall see, but it'd make sense to put the codex out shortly (Which unfortunately makes the rumor more believable whether or not there's any truth to it, as does the inclusion of the often rumored Sanguinary Priest in plastic finally).

Gotta say I'll be surprised if the BA specific tactical squad kit is true. I might have expected a special jump kit box that makes regular assault marines, vanguard vets, and a command squad but definitely wasn't expecting tacticals.

I'm calling bull on the new Tactical Squad, we just got one of those. Might be a new Assault Squad, though.

Interesting to hear about Smaug, but he looks to be about 3x as much as I would be comfortable paying...

Yeah, I am calling BS on a Blood Angels Tactical box. Their tactical squads are essentially the same as C:SM. This isn't like Space Wolves. It would be different if it was an Assault Squad box since they do use a lot of different, exclusive weapons.
