Since the codex is out that week, does it mean that SM didn't get any new toys, just repackaged AM/Devs?

Kinda baffles me to be honest...

Not repackaged- these are new sculpts. Or did you not notice the Grav cannon wielding Dev marine/Giant chainsword wielding assault marine?

Well, it looks like I shall be getting the codex and a box of devs. That ML dev is pretty rad. Those rumors of free Flank Missiles better be true, I want a squad of 4 ML marines and another with 4 LC! Crimson Fists Super Devs to the rescue!

36 bucks for a 5 man dev squad.. nuts

Space Marines are hilariously cheap on ebay. I don't even see pricing as a factor when you can buy marines for around a dollar per man if you're willing to toss them into the simple green for a while.

Devs look awesome! Love the legs!!!!!!!!

Looks like another rumor ( older marks of armor in Devs release) down the drain.

Grav cannon......hmmm....

Now if only Marines could be given Immolators......

They do. They call them Razorbacks unless you use a Multi-melta.

That SW upgrade head looks alot like "the guy" on the Prospero Burns cover.
I remember that guys hair ruining the whole cover for me, so...

Isn't that supposed to be Russ?

The sword indeed looks like its supposed to be Russ, but it really dont fit with how I see Russ, therefore its just "the guy" until proven othrwise.

New sculptings as said before. And freaking awesome ones if you ask me. I for one think we got mor then enough shiny new toys like cents and tfc and don't need one bit more of it. I'm quite relieved GW seem to see it that way too finally. Besides maybe the coming Command Tanks.

Anyway. Aren't you guys tired of calculating price increases and complain about it every single release??

Wow, I fold. Devastator grav cannons. Didn't belive it until I saw it.
No I only hope there will be more than one of some weapons in this box.

I know the transfer sheets were posted a while back but, having just read the new WD, I'm quite amused that the new UM sheet includes transfers for the auspex screens.

Being gifted with 10 thumbs I don't know which I'd find more frustrating, trying to paint the screen or get a transfer 'just so'.

I do like the 2nd Ed flashback with the Devastator legs though.

2 of each confirmed besides Grav Cannon and Heavy Bolter (not confirmed).

They've all got them- Plus- that's kinda nice. Painting Auspex is a ballache Not that I bother...

Shame I see no other chapter specific box sets
Maybe on the third week. If not forgeworld will be having my money

Cherubim with melta bomb for the win!

That is a must have bit.

I actually like the whole Dev kit.

Reread the Dev leaks. It confirms two of each weapon type included.

Amazing catch! I want like 12 of them lol.

I'm actually fairly impressed with that Devastator kit. Much more so than the AM one.

Just to point out, the grav cannons look to have grav-amps mounted underneath them, which is nice...

Definately grav amps! Hopefully they have a good devastator formation to make taking them worth it. I'll probably be getting quite a few of these kits to fill out all my heavy weapons needs.

That devastator kit is awesome!

The Grav amp is making me seriously rethink how many dev kits and squads I want to buy. And screw Dev Cents, I want to run a squad of devs in a drop pod to ruin someone's day.

Not to put words in Hybrid's mouth, but its just one more unique aspect of the codex that they lost to another group. If GW is ver expects Sisters to sell or ever want them to sell well maybe they can leave them their unique identity.

The first rule of interacting with H.B.M.C. is: do not interact with H.B.M.C.
The second rule is: refer to the first rule.
The third rule is: in case of emergency, remember the yellow button of friendship.

Because only Sisters would ever use a whomping huge chainsword, right?

Told you, the problem is that there is already a huge imbalance and this is furthering it.

Why can't we interact with HBMC? He has one of the highest rate of exalts of all users, so I'm pretty sure people agree with him more often than not.

All those exalts don't come from Sisters players

What, all ten of ya?

Wait, you get ratings for exalting??? where is this?

WOW. Those are gorgeous models! The missile launcher looks awesome, heavy grav cannon looks totally sweet.

I love the guy with the bolter, across from the "DEVASTATOR SQUAD" text. Man, that's why I got into 40k. Look at all those cool details around all the ankles and such, makes them look very cool. Backpacks are a huge improvement too. The Heavy Bolter is no big deal, but the old one was a solid model; likewise for the Lascannon, though the left-leg finish to the model is pretty neat. That's a first! Heads are a bazillion times improved!!

There is a Blood Angels Battleforce too... Looks like you get a Commander, Furioso, and 10 tacticals for 75 euro. I might have to get it :X The backpack on the commander looks awesome. Even though I don't really want another BA Tactical Squad...

DA Battleforce looks pretty solid too. Dunno about the Ultramarines one. I've never been a fan of that style of helmet, with the horizontal plume.

Man, I'm going to be blowing some serious coin... :X

@Angelofvengenace, Paradigm -- THANKS!

Lovely grav, wonderful grav,

Grav grav grav grav gravity grav!

The old Devastator kit featured shoulder pads molded together with the arm and the weapon. I think they went with the design philosophy used in the Sternguard kit when creating the new heavy weapons this time. As seen in the Assault Marine promo video we have a Blood Angle carrying a Plasma Cannon featured with an Upgrade Pack Shoulder Pad. So that is the major new design on the assembly of the miniature it seems.
