It's The Plague Brethren which were always NZ$83. The only difference now is the kit doesn't come with the extra content.

I know what the Plague Brethren are.

Why do they cost the same without any of the other stuff?

Because a lot of people were whining about 'devaluation of their investment' all over the place last week?

Needs more Russian. .

Since this thread is effectively doubling as the Space Wolf codex thread, has anyone seen/heard about whether the Space Wolves get any special snowflake additions to their primaris entries beyond an axe? I'm curious if intercessors get chainswords. I doubt it as I haven't heard any mention of it on YouTube but most reviewers seem to be glossing over the primaris parts.

Anyone have any idea how heavy this box will be? Thinking of postage...

they get chainswords yes, an easy way to check is by looking at the upgrade sprue

The sergeant does from the pics but I'm asking if every one of the intercessors can get them (whether for points or free as is traditional with SW). Regardless, the accessory sprue hasn't been posted here so it's good that you brought it up.



I have to say that I prefer the old one a little bit. The lack of a wolfshead backpack and wolf belt back torso is a bit disappointing. Hopefully the old one won't go OOP.

A right hand chainsword from GW? What is this madness?

no space wolf intercessors won't be able to take chainswords. they'd have mentioned it if they got addtional wargear. intercessors however have 2 attacks base anyway so we don't lose anything by upgrading from grey hunters

So I was flicking through the pictures of the contents on the GW webstore and I said to myself "Yep, full sprues of all the units." Then I saw the Genestealer sprue and I said to myself, "Oh, those desperately need to be redone." The Tyranids need new kits for almost all their units.

Not all. Genestealers do, gants of both forms do, and they still need lictors, biovores, and pyrovores in plastic. The rest of the nid kits are fine. CSM, Orks, Eldar are all in the same boat or worse.

Do 'Stealers need a re-do? I mean, does their kit have any gaps as far as options/weapons are concerned?

Anyone else pale a little at Tooth and Claw going for 190? I was thinking I'd be happy at 150, and satisfied at 165 - but 190 for seven unique models and some upgrade sprues feels...like a lot.

It is 150 USD. You might be looking at the tooth and claw collection, which is box + codex SW

No, but it’s vile to assemble due to awful mould lines and the sprues are sparse in comparison to modern ones. I finally, finally assembled the last few of the pile I acquired years ago and hope to never assemble another! The retro ones from DW:Overkill were far crisper and more pleasant to put together.

But is it worth say having new stealer box rather than plastic pyrovore/biovore?

I don't think any post-2000 pladtic kit is so bad that the army would be better off replacing it than updating a metal/finecast unit to plastic. The stealers are fine anyway, they were on the high end of quality for their time.

Spending the weekend periodically refreshing Bits & Kits has paid off. Got to their Tooth and Claw stock before they even sent out a newsletter about it.

I agree with you that the overkill stealers were way better than the current kit’s stealers. Yet, I can’t really rate a re-do of that kit too highly compared to some other things I wish they’d do for Nids, such as lictors and shrikes.

Oh! Thank you, that's probably what I was doing. I'm back to being happy!

I did the same thing and was going halfsies with a buddy.
We had planned on $160 since that was Forgebane's price.
I kept double checking to make sure I hadn't clicked on Australia's link.
Pleasantly surprised it was $150 in the end.

Hey, I did the same thing. I was disappointed and then happy. Part of me thinks they did it on purpose....

Oh gods no, but that wasn’t the question I was answering. And nuGW prefers not to redo anyway.

Nothing about rules?

Cult genestealer

I imagine the genestealer cult portion I am surprised that the rules for Abominat/new Abberants haven't even be hinted at frankly, since the SW codex got dumped late friday night/saturday morning. I guess that all the guys who get to preview the codex dont get to preview the actual product, so we'll be waiting until Wednesday/thursday when stores get their copies in.

Are we even sure that the rules for the "new" Aberrants and the Abominant will appear in the box?
