those dices


Edit 1:
that morty cover letter

Irmagoodness those double injection dice are getting better and better.

I don't understand why Mortarion is more expensive than Magnus being much smaller and having just 2 sprues and not 3 but... great model nonetheless.

For the very first time I am tempted by the super-duper limited collectors bundle-o-rama.

Nurgle has my soul, GW may have my bonus cheque...

Has anyone ever seen the video Andy Chambers posted that made the rounds about a university study of dice?

Ever since I just can't justify gimmick dice, knowing they're literally inaccurate, by virtue of "rounded edges", "carved pips" or both.

So... Dice are not available separately?

...got my morty and just a plain non-fancy codex pre-ordered

phew...that was tough, but I did it, I actually utilised willpower...I really didn't think I'd be able to avoid getting the big fancy collectors edition codex this time, but I managed - no fancy codex, no cool dice, no cards, no plague brethren bundle bollocks, only what I actually "needed" - I'm almost proud of myself

There is some nice art in the Codex, I'm looking forward to it

I am really not a fan of those dice :( Which sucks because I wanted to get some new dice.

Above all else, I feel like dice should be readable. Not just to me but to my opponent... rolling weird dice just seems unsportsmanlike...

Um, is it just me, or is there no way to order the dice by themselves? You have to get a special bundle?

yup, just looks to be in the bundle, at least for now...might come up separately later sometime?...or might just be an "collectors bundle exclusive" thing...which would suck, but, would be very "GW"...

Same as the cards, i suspect that its either an error which will be quickly resolved or they'll be available separately next week.

just managed to pre-order mine on the GW website despite being in the UK!

huh, yeah, that's early!...just checked UK and US GW store pages, and yup, looks like it's live all-round?...go get 'em!

Thanks for the heads up, that is a surprise. I just bought the LE deluxe bundle and the 3-man with art card bundle. Everything else I will buy at discount at local stores.

Huge waste of money ($300 with tax), and now I have to get all the minis including Morty, but hey, I waited 6 years for this moment...

yeah - i went all-in too.

Saw them up on the US site but it goes to an error when you try to buy. Someone realized the oopsie

Think I'm just gonna go Gamer's edition. I can't justify the collector's prices to myself, but I want those dice!

Same here! Though I didn't go for the 3-man bundle, just can't do it... With the rest of the DG releases, I'll probably wait till most of the sets are out, and do one big order for everything.

I've been a huge plague marine fan from when they updated them for 2nd ed. in the mid-ninties. (not that I don't love those Rogue Trader RoC ones of course) And I really enjoyed playing them up through 5th ed.
Then there were the bad times/editions.
Now with 8th, we FINALLY get our own codex!

This AND Genestealer Cults all in one year! (They came out in 7th last Sept, and 'hopefully' the 8th ed. codex will be out within a year) I think GW REALLY want's me back as a fan!

Let's see, what else is on my list...?
Zoats.
Eldar Exodites.
Vulkan*






*LIVES!!!!1!!!!!!

Looking at the Limited Edition version they have the stack of psychic power cards, the top one says 'Curse of the Leper', really interested to see what that does

Oh man, that Sucks!

I hope they don't cancel my order (it's still in there at the moment).

Wow, those dice are cool!

...starting to feel like I was the only one here with any willpower to resist the mighty new shinies

Because he came out after Magnus, and this is the way GW does price rises these day.

I'm avoiding the dice because they look like a pain to read myself.

Also, no reviews yet? Anyone heard anything from the normal sites about when one might come?

Typhus went 'No longer available' on the NZ store

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Chaos-Space-Marines-Typhus

He is probably in next week's preorders




The finecast Plague Marines are not yet OOP

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Chaos-Space-Marines-Plague-Marines

The plastic kit seems to be part of a later week

For those complaining about the dice...order some custom dice of your own. Chessex (despite having a website from the 1980's) is excellent to deal with. I have customized dice for my Nurgle-influenced Chaos Space Marines. Thirty dice w/ custom 6's cost me around $34 shipped. They're 16mm, and I ordered two opposing colours (for special weapons/etc.).

It's exceptionally easy to do. I have similar dice for my Eldar craftworld.

I believe one of the requirements for those who get a review copy of the codex is that they can't post their review until preorders are up. We should be seeing the reviews soon.

oh, looks like GW's web department is having quite the time frantically pressing assorted buttons ...so, going by the re-updated NZ store, yeah, the dice, cards, and normal collectors ed. codex are available separately

...and all the death guard stuff isn't on the Aus webstore now (I assume very temporarily)...but I already preordered...hopefully that'll still be fine? :/ ...meh, should be, right?

Atia posted today on Disqus that her preview will be up on thursday.

Is it possible to get less rounded corners than what is normal for cheesed?
