How much will Armigers be going for on eBay I wonder in the weeks following the release.

I'm guessing about $40 to $60 a piece as the "reasonable" ebay price.

Haha, that was great.

Monolithius Sepulchrum Maxima: Naturally occurring “activated” deposits. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not attempt excavation without heavy mining equipment, e.g. Rockgrinders, lascannons, Adeptus Astartes support units.

Um, does this mean that Monoliths will be dampening psykers come the new Necrons codex?

I hope so. That would be awesome and might make monoliths worth taking.

Box set listed at the same price as dark imperium. Expect stock shortages!

**changemod**

I just hope we hear confirmation either way on other Armiger variants existing outside the box set, because that'll strongly influence whether I get 1 or 2 sets of forgebane.

**MightyAnarchist**

Is this a sign that the new Necron Codex might be on its way

We knew from the Las Vegas Open at the end of January that Codex Necrons (along with T'au Empire and Drukhari) were the next three codices.

**Stormonu**

I'd like to get the Armigers and the Cryptek, but I feel I already have enough of the other units.

Anyone want to take bets after this set has been out we'll see the AdMech Start Collecting box be reissued with an Armiger to replace the Onager?

**ZergSmasher**

I love the look of those new Knights, but the box is going to be a hard pass for me as I don't play Necrons or AdMech. It is cool though, and I'm hoping that the Armiger is not too insanely priced (points or $$$) so I can eventually grab a couple.

Doubtful. Knights will sell well enough without being bundled in a getting started. I'd expect Forgebane to be a limited run print as well, once the models in question are ready for individual release it will be dropped for a new battle box.

I'm really interested to see what the come up with next.

No bets. I had hoped back with AdMech they'd change the box out to include an Ironstrider and Enginseer instead or Tau with a Fireblade or Commander instead of the Ethereal--no dice on either.

**Arachnofiend**

Natfka claims Forgebane will go on pre-order on the 31st.

This would likely mean the Necron codex goes on pre-order either same day or the week before, I wouldn't expect Forgebane to come out before the codex. Though it's certainly possible.

Blight War came out before the Maggotkin of Nurgle book(quite a bit before in fact) and Death Masque came out before the Deathwatch book.

And, as always, Naftka is proven not a reliable source^^

Also, Necron's Codes confirmed!

**GoatboyBeta**

So Forgebane release in a couple of weeks with Codex Necrons probably the week after. I wonder how far out Codex Imperial Knights is then? IIRC the Deathwatch Codex came soon after the Deathmasque box, but on the other hand the Nurgle battle tome was a long time after the Blightwar box.

Warhammer Community wrote:And, as if Forgbane itself weren’t already exciting enough news for Necrons fans, we can confirm that hot on its heels will be a brand new codex for the everliving legions arriving before the end of March. So you won’t have to wait long before your Necrons can benefit from a whole swathe of new rules, Stratagems and – for the first time ever – unique dynasty rules for the most powerful of the ancient empire’s armies. We’ll be previewing this new codex in-depth soon, but in the meantime, here’s a peek at the Dynastic Codes – powerful rules for customising your collection – to whet your appetite.

The 24th for Necrons going up for preorder, releasing on the 31st.

It just squeaks in there as "before the end of March" since it ends that day.

**Anpu-adom**

Pretty shocked by how fast Forgebane is coming out... I honestly thought that it would be a June/July release.
Big Question, though... will there be a shortage of product or will it linger on the shelves?
I've already made arrangements to buy one and trade the contents, but who knows?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Depends how the Necron Codex is received. And how useful the Armigers prove. After all, Mechanicus armies essentially have Onagers for anti-tank. If these are reasonably pointed, could become a go-to unit.

**Oguhmek**

Whoa, that was earlier than expected. Nice, I just need to finish my Flayed Ones, then I'll be ready for this.

I'm expecting these boxes to sell out quite quickly - at least for the first week or two. I know a lot of players in my area are wanting the new Armigers so boxes will move quickly. I'm only interested in the new Cryptek which a friend is going to sell to me for a fiver so I'm all good from this release

Depends if this is limited release like the rest of their two player box sets. If it is i would lean higher toward at least the $60 mark

@Mad Doc, this is a no brainer it will be a sell out don't expect this to be sitting on shelves anywhere.

Well, that's just encouraged me to buy the Start Collecting box for the start of my Dark Mechanicus then.

**ph34r**

Just remember that Dark Mechanicus don't really have a ton of rules. They have literally 1 unit.

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

I'm looking forward to cheap Necrons flooding the market. Got a Harli army out of the last big box they did.

Indeed. Immortals and Wraiths will be flooding ebay within the next few weeks

I'd be all over this box if I didn't already have all the Necrons I could use (like a true Tomb World, my Necrons have been slumbering since 5th Ed and will soon awaken!)
