Don't care what the box costs, I'm getting it. These are fantastic.

I think the Sword-choppy guy with the Magus is the Patriarch...?

Hmm don't fink so..think that Primus guy is a sergeant type...

Also- that's 24 stealer cult guys by my count..

did not see the blurb my bad. Looks like deathwatch is now more like suicidewatch. That's a lot of stealers.

Nice! I'm impressed.

No patriarch that I can see yet...

Just cancelled a kickstarter for this, it looks AWESOME.

These look awesome. Really surprised at how good they look. No goofy stances either!

Wow!!!!!! Freaking amazing sculpts - and looks like a good set of models! 12x 1st and 2nd gen, 4x 3rd gen, 8x 4th gen, 4x mutants things and a Magus and a Primus!? Oh and 2x genestealers too,

So 32-ish models?

I love the grenade launcher and heavy. A Necromunda gang in the box ;-)

overkill contains (text on pics)

12 x 1st/2nd gen hybrids
4 x 3rd gen hybrids with autoguns
2 x 3rd gen hybrids with gren launchers
8 x 4th gen with autoguns
2 x purestrain
2 x mining lasers
4 x Aberrants (2 pick/2 hammer)

1 magus, 1 primus 2 familiars???? just a guess

so 38? gene cult models

Judging by the desert bases, this won't be on a space hulk either.

I like the genestealers. Far more than the DW.

Alright, definitely getting this.

At first it was the DW marines that had me excited, but those stealers just pushed me onto the hype train.

To be fair, GW comes out with some cracking box sets.

Those are excellent, nice to see GW recognising how great their old designs are and improving upon them, rather than releasing bland garbage for AoS.
Please let this be a step in the right direction.

The mining lasers and picks/hammers kinda sound like a subterranean setting, ala BaC.

Just realised the primus is armed with a needler pistol. This is going to be a 2nd edition delight!

Well, as the sneak peeks continue, what you get in the box isn't looking worse.


Plus, on a purely personal bias, as an Ultramarine collector, the Cassius is a no brainer. I may even try a head swap with a spare 2nd Ed Chaplain so he can still have a bionic face.

Wondrous. Glorious. Ruinously expensive. I'll take two

Seriously though, I'm extremely impressed, the details are fantastic, and I love that they've come up with a fluff justification(mining gear) for the Cult attire having a unique look. Hell I thought the "I'll take two" bit was a joke, but I already have half a dozen ideas for INQ28 conversions, so I'll just have to hope there will be some left to pick up an extra the month after release.

I don't know what's up with GW these days, just when you think they're back to screwing folk on price they put out Calth and the Start Collecting boxes; just when you think they've forgotten the value of their own IP they bring out Mechanicus and Cult models; just when you think all their talented sculptors have either left or been instructed to work the CAD software using only their left earlobe, we get these stunners. All of those things are good, of course, it's just confusing that the same studio is shifting so radically in attitude or quality from one release to the next.

EDIT: Ohhhh myyyy, the bitz, the glorious glorious bitz. New servo-skulls, the heads, finally a good quality Deathwatch shoulderpad for artscale Marines, and by god I think that's a plastic MKII/III backpack on the Iron Hand(and, shock-horror, I actually prefer it to the FW design). Oooh, and a cyber-bird. I'm actually more excited for this than I was for BaC - kudos GW, kudos.

Well, there goes my plan not to buy more than I paint this year

Mindblown by the cultists!

Brilliant GC models! 135 EUR is totally fine for this game. Looking forward to more pics.

I'm real happy to genestealer cults, if only so it one wishlist item from those members that say "they're releasing xyz again? I want cults dammit!"

That Scars biker though! Beautiful sculpt! Here's hoping for more of them!

Bloody lovely. Shed tonne of gorgeous figs - really nice sculpts all 'round. 100 quid or so......cheap as chips. Nice one!! Defnitely on the buy list

Thank the emperor I just took on a $200 commission job.

So the chaplain is apparently this guy before his face got turned into a potato.

Well, even better than I hoped. Incredible

Blood Raven librarian eh ?

Nice.


.... guess we've also just seen what everyone will be using as Khan in their White Scars armies for the next X years too.

Any news on the rules? No interest in 40k light, but if it has a standalone ruleset similar to Space Hulk then I could be in.

I am loving these pictures, better Than I expected, but why not just take a picture of the whole set including the board?
