The prices are wrong for the betrayal at calth above - it is 180$ CAD.

So having prices wrong isn't a huge shocker...

With all the gak GWs has pulled over the years, and considering the insane pricing of the character minis displays, I'm pretty sure this isn't a misprint.

I'd love to be wrong, though.

They haven't ever done anything like this before, so I would guess it's indeed a misprint, since they HAVE done those before.

Oh wow, an engineseer that no one ever used and a possible tank commander (?) which, if not clampack, simply means more extra bits as theres simply no point in actual static/clampack model, since there are sooo many ways to kitbash yo own, unique commander

Also, wth with 45 gbp? I guess it comes with a whole Leman Russ tank?

I'm pretty sure it's just the current Leman Russ kit, the Tank Squadron Upgrade Frame they released with Spearhead 3-4 years ago (was it June 2011 or June 2012, can't remember) and a new Techpriest. There isn't even a special tank commander, just the stock one from the box. (at least, from what I can tell from the pictures)

Imo, its without the upgrade kit. 31 for Russ + 8 or 9 for upgrade kit, which leaves 5-6 gbp for the techpriest. Which isnt likely to happen. Unless its a saving type box, like the chimera+guardsmen box they used to sell.

The Squadron Upgrade kit is older than that. It came out initially with Apocalypse.


I've been meaning to get one of the new Leman Russes to build a Vanquisher, and I love Tech-Priests.

Damn you to hell, GW!

The upgrade kit is only 5 gbp, which means the Techpriest is only 9 gpb.
I doubt GW would use the upgrade sprue on the Leman Russ they're using to sell the box if it wasn't going to be included as well. Then again, this is GW...

Anything like what? Raise a price immediately after release? They most certainly have done that before.

They've never announced a price raise three months in advance in printed publications, have they?

Serious question here. I don't know.

Other than the Chapter badge on the knee I would have had the model pegged as Angels Sanginue on account of the split red/black armour.

It's a Chaplain, so the colour's more to do with that than anything else.

Before this miniature GW had not habituallt painted Blood Angels Chaplains in a split vertical scheme

I don't think he has a split vertical scheme.

Backpack is completely black. Armour on both arms and legs is black.

He just has more red than usual on the Astorath-style sinewy bits, which no miniature pre-dating Astroath had, as well as the odd death company cross, red seal, red cord, red weapon handle and the red wings.

I missed this initially, but the "split vertical scheme" aligns with two different material looks.

His right side is the sinewy look ala Astorath/Mephiston while his left is standard power armor.

That's kind of a cool touch. Just wish they had made a generic plastic Jump Pack Chaplain instead of two more Blood Angels specific characters.

Blood Angels now have the most plastic characters(Terminator Librarian, Sanguinary Priest, Terminator Captain, and Jump Pack Chaplain) of any GW range, on par with the Khorne Bloodbound(Slaughterpriest, Skullgrinder, Exalted Deathbringer, Skarr Bloodwrath) and less than the Stormcast Eternals(Celestant-Prime, Lord-Castellant, Knight Azyros/Knight Venator, Lord-Celestant, Knight-Vexillor/Knight-Heraldor).

Also, man. When are we going to get the Strike Force Ultra Terminator Captain?!

It would be so cool if BA got a new codex. I can dream...

It could be them getting a new Detachment in the next supplement book, or it could just be a random Blood Angels release with no ties to the next supplement.

As a Blood Angel and Astra Millitarum player who adores both armies and is waiting for some formations to bring my armies up to the real 7th edition standards... The hype train has left the station!

Formations alone won't bring Guard up to 7th edition status. They really need their whole book revised.

I am betting it is the latter. Though considering the Damocles Crusade happens in 742M41 to 745M41, and the Shield of Baal is 998M41, they don't conflict with each other. The timeline in the Blood Angels Codex doesn't have any dates that conflict with that, so it is possible that the Blood Angels were mobilized to hunt down Farsight.

If they get new stuff, great. If not, at least I will be getting that awesome new Chaplain. I already have Karlaen, so no need for that model for me.

This isn't the Damocles Gulf Crusade.
Prefectia(what Kauyon covers) takes place in 999.M41.

The Tau are really limited as to where they can be used, since they're not Warp-capable.

Oh durr. That makes a lot more sense then. Still, the last thing in the Blood Angels timeline is the Shield of Baal, which takes place in 998.M41, so there is a small possibility of there being Blood Angels in the next book. I am not counting on it, though. They would probably do something stupid like kill Dante or Mephiston in it anyway.

Dante and Mephiston have models. They're safe.

Captain Aphael will likely be the one to die then. We know where Tycho dies, so it won't be him. A number of bad things could befall the Blood Angels when fighting the Weeaboos.

It looks like he trod in something.

Is the terminator captain the model from Deathstorm?

The price of the assassins is insane. £19 for a single mono pose plastic model. For the price of all four you can buy a starter box for any game I can name, all of which will contain a couple of small armies.

And the price hike continues...

Out of curiosity, I just checked on GW - the existing Vindicare costs £9.50.

Yep, that's Karlean from Deathstorm.

I am amazed when people pay these prices for clampack characters. I mean, for the same or less than a plastic Space Marine HQ from GW you could pick up a Forge World character model (40k rather than 30k, as you don't then have to pay extra for a huge chunk of resin on the base), for a few quid more you could get a full squad in plastic and convert several Captains/Chaplains/Librarians/Whatever, or even get one of the Forge World Command Sets that are all awesome (£27 for a Captain and Standard Bearer vs £20 just for the Captain? It's a no-brainer!)

When Forge World is the affordable alternative, something has gone badly wrong... although FW have had a few sneaky prince increases of their own, I don't recall Huron being £21 or Loth and retinue coming it at £41...

Or just not buy either

But i agree, £20 is a lot for one model. But if you live for 40k i get it.

That Chaplain does look cool though. Shame it's not a named character.

Not that I think $32 or whatever is a reasonable price for the assassins >.< ... but... I would pay more for a plastic GW version of a character than a resin Forge World version of the same character, all things being equal. I hate the amount of work that goes into preparing a resin character, plus the resin characters are made out of much fewer pieces, making them less suitable for conversions.

I think Karlaen can be had pretty cheap on eBay, fortunately (because of all the copies of Deathstorm). I'll buy the chaplain for sure; and I already got the assassins from the game box. I suppose some time in the future when I go back to IG, I might get the command tank upgrade, but who knows when that will be.

Incidentally, the FW models still come out a lot more expensive for me, either way. They cost around 20 GBP plus shipping -- Or you have to order 250GBP, and then they double-tax it, even though there's free shipping, and there's the UPS brokerage fee. And, no discount from independent store. Ick :(

Obviously the bean counters at GW realized it was "too good of a deal" and sought to fix that. I completely believe the price increase is coming. And just when I had hoped they would start to be reasonable.... /sigh

Well, yeah! There's a reason all my Captains, Chaplains and Librarians are stater set models or kitbashes!
