Nah, I imagine things will pick up nicely in 2031 when the Wonder Twins leave home.

But slow back down in 2035 when they come crawling back after seeing the outside world.

Way too blinged out for me. I mean, the models were obviously going to have a fair bit of detail but I feel like it's way too much chapter specific stuff, which is not at all what Deathwatch marines should be about.

Hopefully the cult can save this release.

Marines in general are suffering from an over-blingification across the spectrum. Part of the reason the BaC set is so nice is that the models aren't caked in 10-20 pieces of flair.

I get the feeling that GW is overdoing the marine bling in 40K on purpose to differentiate 30K and 40K more - clean and sleek, simply practical v gothic overkill and millenia of added ritual

I'll probably go thru the warstore. 5% more off isn't worth getting it 2 weeks after its out from Frontline since I've had issues getting things in a reasonable amount t of time from them.

The Card Ogre has these going for $116 and should have plenty.

Link?

TheCardOgre usually posts his newsletters over at Bartertown but has not made a post about Deathwatch so ill copy paste the body of the email.

Deathwatch Overkill will indeed be released on 27-feb 2016 & it will have a retail price of $165

The product is a "standard item"

..however - right now it is only assumed to be available for 90 days, that is IN STOCK to OUT OF STOCK, but for sure coming back IN STOCK in the first 90 days.

Its my guess that it will go in and out of stock for a while due to the fact that its a very good product in my opinion, and the high demand that will follow with it - but I dont think it will just go away and be considered NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

So the GAME is really the big thing here, well unless you think its the MODELS, or it might be the STORY.....

The Game is too awesome to explain in this email - but I can bet you play the game more than you played some others that GW made.

The Models are amazing & The Story is really cool. As you can guess, its a Deathwatch kill team, but did you know that it is lead by Chaplin Cassius? And a Veteran Terminator that has a heavy flamer, and a power fist that has a meltagun built into it! And there is a guy with a custom heavy bolter - a guy with a sweet sword - an imperial fist veteran with a frag cannon! Yeah the same one that blood angel dreadnoughts have! Why all the cool gear?
This Kill Team is hunting down a Xenos Threat, and what they encounter is the very first appearance known to the Adeptes Astartes of a Tyranid Genestealer cult & a new form of how tyranids threaten the Emperor.

The 11 Marines face off against a slew of 39 Tyranids, with many different models and types of foes not seen before - Lead by a powerful psycher!

So this is indeed a set that I will have interrupt my other projects - gladly! And in an effort for you to get to enjoy it too we will leave it as a standard discount even if GW sells out - so what? We got 65 coming next week!

so first come first serve (dont get crazy!) - you pay $115!

We are doing phase 1 of our move tomorrow - so please be patient and I will return to all emails Wednesday

Thank you.

Wish I'd thought of something that simple.

Don't ask the question and you don't get the answer

To be fair, GW have spent a fairly long period of time conditioning their customers for something more along the lines of "ask the question and you don't get the answer", and occasionally also "don't ask the question, or else *fist shake*"

**Paradigm**

Good to know this is going to stick around. I'm splitting a box, so I'm sorted for the Marine half on release but if this is still around in the summer, I'll be after the Stealer half (either second hand if Ebay isn't being extortionate or buying it new and splitting the box the other way).

sweet - good to know. Defintely wanting to get a copy of this but on a buying freeze tll I get through a considerable paintign backlog!

Yeah I should wait till I get through my backlog too.

This will still be in production come 2068 right?

It should be, but the new CSM Codex ($175 USD) will drop then.

**wuestenfux**

Looks like Deathwatch is also playable in regular 40k games.

I hope the same holds for the Genestealer cult.

**Wolf**

Hey is anyone looking for going 50/50 split ? I'm wanting the Genestealer half, Bits and kits have put up pre orders but it's going to be more expensive than going halfs !

Wow, no kidding, £5 per individual Cult model is mental. £3 profit on a £2 figure, eh, naw.

**H.B.M.C.**

Yeah I thought Bits & Kits would be offering them in sets (ie. the Hybrid set, the Deathwatch set, etc.). But at £5 each for a Hybrid, no thanks...

**Wolf**

That was my thinking to H.B.M.C I got quite the shock when i checked them out.

**Bottle**

Hmmm, I'm looking into getting more game tiles (and cards etc) - but I don't want to pay through the teeth for them. Hopefully there will be some eBay bargains! £10 seems reasonable in my eyes...

Genestealer Cult rules for 40k have been confirmed, and so far are looking good. (we have seen 2 units so far)

**SJM**

Sorry if its a bit off topic but any news if a new Tyranid Codex is due? And so will Genestealer cult be part of it?

Thinking of starting a Tyranid force.

We are super sure on if they will be their own force (maybe like a Skitarii type book?) or what. They have their own symbols on the top of the pages, but we might know more when we see the full leak.

I think some of those prices are a bit low. £12 for the White Scars guy? I expect him to easily double that.

I would be happy to sell mine out of a set, but I think the overseas shipping would make that unfeasible.

I'm honestly thinking buying the full set and parting out the non-genestealer stuff will be my best option, as I'm afraid the ebay prices will be too high. I absolutely need to have them ASAP for Necromunda though!

**casvalremdeikun**

Am I the only one that is disappointed that there is no way to give the Deathwatch a transport? They have to foot slog everywhere they go. Squad Donatus and one of the commanders could pick up a Razorback from their allies though, but that is still kinda lame.

Their world consist of four boards they don't need a transport, The cult also don't have a cruiser (or did you mean the 40k rules?)

And yet one of them is on a bike and two have jump packs.

I am talking about their rules for 40k.

And £10 for the two Familiars, the pricing just seems all over the place.

Bits & Kits does not believe in giving discounts for small children, even if they are gribbly little crimes against nature.

can't you wait for their proper release to pop up first to actually know for sure?

Let me tell you about this forum section

**wuestenfux**

Well, I'm looking very much forward to the miniatures of this game, notably the Deathwatch minis. I think the Deathwatch force should be playable as an allied army, especially the formation.

Since it's a formation you can just add it to whichever army you want.

Indeed, but ally restrictions apply as usual.

**AndrewGPaul**

I'd put good money on them being "Armies of the Imperium", so feel free to stick them (apart from the White Scar) in anyone else's Land Raider, Storm Raven, etc.
