Except they directly mention Alpha Primes within the WD
Yeah, which is an Alpha selected as your Warlord. I'm not seeing the issue.
To each their own. We both have our views. I see it as a missed opportunity and a general let down of an otherwise stellar release.
I still think of things via a 2nd ed mindset so it could be that.

Actually it's pretty clear what you mean because of the comma before the "and".

Not really, as it could just be an Oxford Comma.
'my wife, Laura; and Jason' is a clearer way of writing it, as afaik it can only be interpreted one way, the person's wife is Laura and the work it dedicated to her and some guy called Jason.

I ordered a box of Murderbots, the Codex, and the Datacards.
It was still cheaper than the limited edition.

It's actually the ambiguity of the English language.
Walk into a Tim Horton's and say: "I'd like a dozen of the honey dip and chocolate coated donuts" -- is that 12 or 24 donuts? Most likely, the person at the register will believe you want 12 total, ask you, "just a mix, or how many of each?"
You can mean, "ten sets of (carbines and power swords)" or, "ten sets of (carbines) and [ten sets of] (power swords)"
I dedicate this thread to my wife, Laura, and Jason. Is my wife Laura, or, am I dedicating this thread to my unnamed wife as well as Laura (and Jason)?
Gotta love English.
Um... Unless there's actually 10 of the carbines and 10 of the swords, it's still wrong. Of the two examples you've given, the first means 10 of each weapon. The second means 10x of each, where 'x' is however many a 'set' is. So if a 'set' of Carbines is 2, that would be 20 carbines.
Yeah, I think they meant either 10 weapons, or 5 sets.

Doesn't seem logical to me. What's next, double negation?  You guys need some serious Grammatik-Richtlinien.

Logic belongs on Vulcan. This is Earth, and as such, is an illogical, if mostly harmless, place.

Nah, I sold off my knights after people didnt have fun against them(and this was before the ad lance came out lol). Might be fun to run with my dreadnaught/vehicles list. even though that is not my tournament army.
Also thinking of running them with my wolves, depending on what the donkey walkers can do

No... it's coming at Christmas as a Web Bundle. To save you from clicking on two kits.
There will also be a plastic triple Thunderhawk battleforce to go with a new six-rhino drop formation. It will be a great deal, because it also comes with sprues that will build 30 tactical terminators, and basically you get all those terminators for free.

Yeah, I'm one of those sad saps who dropped the cash on it. Feeling a little miffed now that I know that the regular dex is $33 for what i'm getting in the limited ed but I do admit the limited ed is gorgeous. Considering they've been throwing painting guides in like crazy with the last few dex's I'm a bit disappointed I'm not auto getting one with the limited release. The poster ought to be nice..but being double sided is a bit of a bummer.
The metal coin objective markers have always been super sweet though. I have the ork ones.
