MK X armour is Pre-Heresy? That's new to me.

The Primaris were designed 10,000 years ago along with their equipment and armor and kept in stasis, right? That would technically make them pre heresy.

With all due respect, I believe you are not truly understanding the meaning of the term "Pre-Heresy". It means, obviously, before the Heresy. You know, when Mk VI was the most advanced Power armour variant available... and was in testing phase.

Considering that Girlyman made the Primaris pre-order AFTER the Heresy was over and done with....

Now if you're talking about a hypothetical Girlyman Heresy...

Woke up to see the Marines have a new Gravraider.

I think that vehicle epitomises the concept of "Less is more". As others have so quickly shown, the more nonsense you remove from that vehicle's turret, the better it starts to look.

But who gives a gak about some hippy dippy Gravraider when this is the greatest 8th release so far. I can't decide if I want two boxes, or four!!!

And won't be 'til midday. Same as always.

And I've ordered my Nurgle Marines already. Full set of the Nurgle guys from this box + 2 extra Blight Drones, then the Primaris Ancient and LT with the Sword (only Primaris models I like enough to own).

I'm just glad I have custom bases already ready to go for my box

Can anyone tell if the dice, cards, and objectives are limited quantity? Shows 1 per customer, but nothing else about it.

Someone else has probably noticed this already amongst other errors, but under the entry for Obliterators on the leaked chaos book the rules for strength, armour piercing and damage are listed as 6+D3, D3 & D3 respectively.

However the explanation for this system and the example given are wrong. It states in demonstration that "For example if the rolls were a 1, followed by a 3, followed by a 2, then that unit's attacks would have a Strength of 7, an AP of - 3, and a damage of 2 for that shooting phase or overwatch attack"

Spot the obvious mistake?

And with my pointless and extremely specific pedantry quota filled, I'm of to recharge.

Apologies if the pic doesn't work.

And here I thought you would have sat this one out H.B.C.M., considering all of your posts. Way to stick it to the man, you softy you.

I'm waiting with baited breath to hear how many boxes your fellow "I hate this" compatriots are buying. im not buying any, though I like the rules.

Good meme H.B.M.C
Also I wasn't aware of the midday thing, I dont normally care about pre-orders

It wouldn't take much to convert his axe to a scythe, cut and smooth away the buzzsaws, add a bit of plasticard or some green stuff. I may have to get a second boxed-set at some point, just to mess around with.

Edit: Looks as if the bottom of his axe blade could be used as the tip of a scythe.

You're demonstrating a classic example of black and white thinking, the idea that one either can only 100% love or 100% hate something. Either that or you have a total lack of reading comprehension.

Where have I said I hated the miniatures? I've said since the start that I thought the new minis looked great, so I'm buying the minis. I said from the moment they were revealed that the objective markers were the coolest things about this release.

I mean, gak, in this thread alone:

I've liked pretty much all of GW's recent miniature releases. 1KSons and AoS Tzeentch stuff? Mind-bendingly awesome. Skydorfs? Fantastic! Plastic BB stuff? Great. Shadow War Armageddon Terrain? Fething amazing! My fav thing GW have made in years. I'm very much awaiting the full Death Guard release, as what we've seen so far looks great.

I'm very happy with their miniature releases. The NuMarines just don't do anything for me (other than the Ancient and the LT with the Sword, hence the reason I bought them and only them).

The objective markers are absolute gold! I preordered three, seriously considering three more.
The one man escape pod is the best bit, but the servitor-surgeon and operating table are pretty damn cool too. Massive kudos to Gw i recon.

I'm still sitting here wondering what the symbols on the Command Dice mean in game terms.

"The 6 status effects listed in the rulebook"... those must be detailed on a page that wasn't leaked.

Anyone know when the preorders stuff will be available in the UK? Midday I think I read further up?

That limited edition rulebook is lovely but the price is absolutely bonkers. You can buy 2 starter sets, all the index books, the novel, the dice and the objective markers for less.

Seriously? Wow, Geedubs...just...wow...

Can't wait to see what prices the scalpers come up with for this one.

Fething brilliant meme.

This came to mind when I first saw that tank

wait, what? How much is the limited edition?

Its 826 NZ dollars.. that works out to 590.16 in US currency.

ETA 34 minutes until pre-order is up for Aussies

Wow, that might be the single most outrageous price point I've ever seen for a GW product.

It's only outrageous if people aren't willing to pay it....

That is absolute insanity, holy crap.

Supposedly it will go for 250 pounds in the UK. So figure 300-350 US. That is a lot for some metal objectives and a fancy covered book. The artbook (from what little I saw) was all recycled stuff, but I did not see every page.

Oh it'll sell out for sure, won't be long before its on ebay for 700-800+ USD.

Thankfully i'm content with the starter contents. Hardback books aren't good for gaming anyways IMO. Nice for display and looking at but not practical for lugging around.

Pretty sure all of the rulebooks are hard back, Thargrim

I'm having trouble deciding what I want to buy. I don't know if I want to buy one starter set, two starter sets, or just the rules card and two sets of the sprues for one army. I really like all of the miniatures, but I'm just not sure if I'll ever get around to painting and using them all.

I wonder if the Repulsor can still carry regular Marines. If so, how many? Or Termies, Cents, or Jump Packs.

Nah bruv, it's pretty insane.

AUD$700, BTW.

Crikey!
