He means they're always fielded.

Not a fan of spending a half hour setting up only to bring this guy out and have to pick up everything again. Good looking statue, though.

Said everybody ever when Imp Knights first came out. Now look at them.

I'm out of the game so don't understand what your point it. Do you mean no one ever uses them now, or do you mean they're easily defeated?

They are pretty balanced actually; they put out a decent amount of fire power but a smart opponant can deal with them.

So December 3rd release date! Nice!

Which is, as always, anecdotal. They're shelfwarmers for a lot of the folk I know.

Those prices... sheesh.

So where's that person who was saying GW's was decreasing the prices with each release?


On the bright side 10 Rubrics for $84AUD is a better deal than the 5 for $70AUD I initially thought they'd be when we first heard whisperings of this release.

EDIT: Just realised the text says you can take a squad entirely armed with the funky flamers. That's interesting, and will mean the kit will probably have more components than the Tactical Squad kit. I doubt it has enough to justify the additional $20AUD cost, but it's something at least.

exactly. This.





We know Magnus won't actually get to accomplish anything in this new event. Big monsters never win....

I know I guy who is determined to buy every IK that GW/FW have to offer AND he fields all of them! The only guy I know who brings IK formations to games.

At this point you can pretty much guarantee that there will be some kind of bundle in six months or so, so if you are on a budget you could wait. What's another six months when you have already been waiting years.

It's a really great Thousand Sons release overall, and I can't wait for some rules leaks.

Daemon rules!

Don't know if this has been shared. Those close combat weapons sound pretty AOS friendly.

24 page Daemons of Tzeentch rules book?

Sounds like Tzeentch Daemons are getting more goodies in the release alongside the update from Part 1... interesting. Maybe my prediction of a multi-faction Decurion is correct?

I'm guessing the 'several Psychic Disciplines' are the 4 Heretic Disciplines from Traitor's Hate and an updated Tzeentch Discipline.

I'd say a formation containing TS as well as Daemons might be the only actual new thing for Daemons here, since they are only referred to in the special edition. Still cool though, it could mean we get the second "Daemonkin" book, even if the connection to daemons seems to be not as strong as in the Khorne-book.

Interesting that the 136 page book people have been refering to is a fluff book, with the actual rules being a 74 page book. The LE seems to break it down as 40 pages of TS, 24 of Tzeench Daemons and a missing 10 pages.

I'm getting the impression that WoM is all you'll need to field a Thousand Sons army, given that this is the first time I've ever had interest in a Chaos force of any kind, thats definitely good.

Does anyone have the new zealand price for Magnus?

According to google conversion rates, it is 140 new zealand dollars.

$264NZD.

Yeah he's one pricey bit of plastic. A better deal than Skarbrand, but that isn't saying much.

Lol even the book is 75$ now. That's so crazy but they know there are enough fans that will pay any price to get a few rules.

Why do only the TSons get new units.

As I said above: No model, no rules. This is the reality we live in. We wanted a world where GW released models for all the rules they wrote. We got the opposite. A GW that removes rules where there were no models. Combine that with their unwillingness to show any products ahead of time (something that is slowly changing) and it unlikely that this book will contain a single solitary new model for anything outside of the 1KSons.

While this sounds about right, they of course could have released it as 'Supplement: Thousand Sons'. But yeah, it's probably a simple rule / formation refresh for the remaining legions. TS would be a sensible way to test the waters if other cult releases should be done.

There's a couple of ways here they could include 'new' units: either recycling existing SM/IG kits with chaos upgrade sprues, or by later releasing new kits with WD rules. There's also a bunch of older chaos models waiting for new models, and if Thousand Sons get theirs, I'm optimistic for at least new marine / terminator squads for other cult marines as well.

Why is it so pricey in NZ? That is almost twice the price of the British Magnus.

It's the price for a rule supplementioned AND a fluff tome. The fluff tome is significant and is advancing the fluff. They've also been solid to excellent quality. Additionally it's the same it's always been pricewise for such a dual book set. But yes, rules only it'd be expensive.

Because GW.

They, like other companies (mainly tech companies) artificially inflate their prices down in here in Australia and New Zealand.

The prices here are way higher than they should be, even if you factor in taxes and shipping costs into the equation.

I feel sorry for you mate, I didn't realise the inflation was so bad down there.

It's not inflation.

Sorry, should have said artificially inflate to make it more clear.

I mean inflation for prices on imports rather than full economic inflation.

Thanks, was expecting something over 300.

So get a British person to buy it for you.

Prices aren't too bad for Aussies honestly. I'd rather 10 Rubrics for $84 than 5 Acolytes or 10 Neophytes for $70! The only unit that really strikes me as being too costly is the Scarab Occult box but that opinion may change if they come with lots of options ala the Rubricae.
