Deathwatch: Overkill? Sounds like something out of Demolition Man.

Really unbelievable that GS Cult is out before Sisters...

He knows about these, trust me. I've been talking his ear off.

I do believe that congratulations are in order for Mr. Hucklebery. Cheers Tim! (Where is the hoisted mug of fungus juice emoticon when we need one?)

So how many other different game board tile sets will HBMC be able to play this game on?
Which ones do you think will work well? I'm looking at Shadows of Brimstone, including the Jongaro swamp boards. Sedition Wars?

Have been waiting a LONG time, but now I have an excuse to start working on these again. Dug them out his morning and it seems I have more of them than I though I did. Quite surprised that I have all of the Magi

Some people have criticized the Deathwatch models for being too blingy, but researching images I've always found them to carry a lot of their chapter's iconography. Truth is most images come from Fantasy Flight Games but I imagine GW gives the ok to all of them or perhaps even supplies the art itself.

Example is the Tigers Ardent below.

His inner ear tube was shot out by Tau and replaced by soup tins.

He lost his kidneys to an Eldar ranger on Craftworld X or something

His eye, stolen by a Chaos Titan, was replaced by a marble.

And so it goes on

Lost his brain to PTSD, as did every Tyrannic War vet.

grrr, where are my 40k rules leaks?!

Non existent, my friend, it's likely they will get rules, but just not now.

It's already confirmed they're getting rules for 40K in the next 2 WD.

What happen if I buy the game in 6 weeks? No 40K rules, tough you missed them lightweight?

Eliminate the right.
Eliminate the wrong.
Eliminate the weak.
Eliminate the strong.
Eliminate your feelings.
Eliminate too late.
Eliminate the hope.
Eliminate! Eliminate!

That's why I think they should just put them in the board game to let existing players use them in 40k, and serve as a gateway to 40k for new players.

For now I guess, unless you have a tablet. They're rumoured to be getting a proper release at some point though.

Like myself, and others have said, they're getting official 40K rules in the next 2 WD magazines. If you buy the game in 6 weeks, and can't find the WD issues with rules, I don't think it will be difficult to find them online.

I would love to see Necromunda rules for these guys moreso than 40k. Perhaps we will get lucky, and an Inquisimunda could be in our futures with GW's updated Specialist Games department.

Really nice looking models, all i want are those genestealer chaps. They are beautiful, well as beautiful as half mutated aliens can be !

You buy the ebook versions?

Never let facts get in the way of a good moan !

I can't imagine that the 40k rules won't be available anywhere else, ever, but in the absolute worst case scenario, buy the 2 issues of White Dwarf electronically and print the relevant pages. So $10 in the worst-case scenario.

Not to mention that nearly a week before you can get the White Dwarf, every 40k Internet site will have the rules leaked

Especially because you can buy individual issues of White Dwarf via their webstore or as digital copies.

I actually like that part of ultramarine fluff but I'm not sure how I'd convert them.

Um, convert them how?

For example. Bone knives, maybe pieces of carapace on armour, The symbols. But I really lothe the bright blue. Might do it more metallic ? But this is more a p&m topic

Must be fate, I just got a $40 gift card for my FLGS and a 5 brush set of Kolinsky Sables for my bday.

My body, wallet, and hobby desk are ready for this.

So, now the price for people playing 40K is $173. Interesting.

Yes i agree that the price is pushing it but not every boardgamer is a 40k player and vice versa. I am like you on the anti GW pricing squad.
But just the idea of a re-release of a Genestealer cult is weakening my resolve. Must resist the evil temptation! Willpower fading

I've really enjoyed playing Execution Force.

My Betrayal at Calth is next up on the painting table.

I don't even play 40k any more, and I'll still be picking up a copy of Overkill for the game.

Glad to see GW regain some of their gaming mojo.

There are genestealer cult rules in Outlanders, although just for Magus, 2 Hybrid types and purestrain gensetealers. I would love to see them included in the updated Necromunda rules whenever they come out. In the mean time, I'm sure someone will make rules to cover the newer models before then.

My goodness that old round-tube plasma cannon takes me back. Pretty sure I have one on an ork somewhere.

$174? I thought it was rumored to be $164 usd? I was hoping to pick it up at discount for around $125... I don't think I have ever spent more than $160 on a single board game without expansions.... ouch.

But the models look amazing. I hope the gameplay is great too. Here's hoping it is cooperative like zombicide and execution force (but with more depth than execution force, and more missions than space hulk)

I think the $174 was including the two white dwarfs with the 40k rules for the models.

Yeah, the old Ork plastic weapons work well for renegades, chaos cults and other non-imperial forces. They are not as distinctly Ork as the currrent stuff. There are a few hybrids with ork bolters and one plasma pistol.
