Can't find anywhere that actually tells you about this, so it was a nice surprise!

You spend over £100 or local equivalent today and you get the limited edition Imperial Space Marine 2016 free if he's still in stock. Same deal applies across all the web stores and all physical GW shops.

Where do you see that? Under the order list? I got my just got my copy but, no Marine sadly.

Heh, the people who want 40K to be less about giant robots aren't going to like the future. The existence of this box means that you're going to be seeing a lot more knights on the table.

I preordered the box set and the 30th Anniversary Marine added to my order automatically.

Future? Between the Wraithknight, Stormsurges, Stompa, and Knights, the giant robot thing is now.

Holy Stompy Robots Batman! I think I may have to do this with my tax return. My Gorepack will just have to wait a little longer.

More than half of my regular gaming group are getting the box. It could make fore some interesting match-ups in the future, but most of us aren't jackwagons, so I don't expect the dynamic to change much. YMMV

So the Renegade Knights are CSM faction?

Yay, looted Knights as Allies of Convenience for my Orks!

Indeed, they count as units from the CSM faction.

This is the Ork fix we've all been waiting for.

Clearly the Gorkanaut is a counts as IK with a Gatling gun and thunder strike.

gaming figures have it at £96 too:

Good addition would be the Tamara dinosaur line. These robots really look great.

Be pretty cool to play Adeptus Mechanicus in 32 MM. Like to see my Stompas and Gargants go up against these guys, Void Shields and all...

Amazing!!!

I'm not a big fan of GW as of late, but this one is a really great step in the right direction.

Just getting back into the game. Thought I'd start small and build up....

So I bought 6 bikers...

And 2 knights!

Damn you GW!

Is this a one time release or not? I have been reading conflicting stories now. Anyone know or we don't know yet?

Naftka is the only place saying it's a one time release.
Naftka is about as reliable as a chicken picking lotto numbers.

So can this game scale beyond two knights having at each other?

The GW site seems to think it works just as well with 6 knights, given some of the deals they have for sale

Haha.

Yes, I'd seen that but I know better than to trust GW.

Although I do think this set is a very good deal.

Please tell me this box isn't a likited print run? I want to buy bad but have, have to, must absolutely save money between now and august

It seems you plan actions before hand, then they all resolve at certain steps, so I don't see why it can't work with 3+ Knights. It doesn't look to be IGOUGO like 40K. May be wrong.

I presume this board game is a limited run just like every other board game. So just like execution force once sales start to decline they will simple discontinue print runs and sell out the remaining stock. This does not mean it is limited quantities.

However I can only foresee GW doing more board game deals like this in the future since most of thier board games recently have been pretty huge sales.

For multiplayer? Use a deck of cards and run the player activations in card draw order. Done.

Next week's white dwarf will contains rules and formations for Chaos Knights. The formation contains 3 Knights, and has rules for how specific marks of chaos affect them.

Overkill is not limited.
Execution Force is not limited.
Betrayal at Calth is not limited.
Lost Patrol does not state it is limited.
Nor does this.

Welcome to the future friend. GW have learned from the mistakes of Kirby.

My buddy is a manager for hobby town, his supplier told him directly that this was a limited release.

He's not even sure they will get one in store :/

I am sincerely hoping his supplier got it wrong...

It could potential be a limited release for independents maybe? I doubt that though.

It could also be that the first wave is limited and will get reprinted in a couple of months like with Calth's initial release.

Well with Calth and Deathwatch they were unique kits to that box. Assassins was a release of new plastic assassins. Lost patrol isn't out yet. I think this will be limited as its just 2 knights and a buidling on a discount, and GW knows that and will try to use this to maximise sales with a "while stocks last" thing.

Does the kit come with enough guns to kit out the Renegade Knight however you like? Like double battle cannons, double thermal, double gattling? I think it mentioned it has 1 Knight Paladin, and 1 Knight Warden.

It comes with one full knight paladin and one full knight warden. 4 shoulder mounts only, but 2 battle cannons or melta cannons, 1 gattler, 2 chainswords, and one thunderstrike gauntlet. Just magnetize at the elbow.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's limited because it is essentially devaluing Imperial Knights.

To be fair, that's about as reliable as a person picking lotto numbers.
