The Lizardmen box says 34 minis, they must be counting the blot toad and the saurus character on foot if you opt to make the ripperdactyls and troglodon.
If these are $180 like battleforces have been it's a damn good deal. GW really likes to give away that carnosaur kit.

I don't imagine it'll be different to any of the other Primaris upgrade sprues. 5 shoulder pads, 3 bigger shoulder pads, a few heads and a weapon or two plus some other random gubbinz.
They must be putting a few in there with the price disparity of the two boxes separately.
Fists box looks like:
Captain
5 hellblasters
3 aggressors
Repdemptor dread
10 either intercessors or reivers. Looks like intercessors to my eyes.
X upgrade sprues

The slaves to darkness box seems like a pretty good deal because of the chaos warshrine which alone costs £35 and has been a webstore exclusive for awhile now.
Ill probably pick a discounted box up for 75£ and sell the other minis which i already have.
I cant quite see the other contents im assuming its:
16 warriors
10 knights
1 chariot
1 lord on manticore
+ the warshrine = 29 minis
Is the mini on the far right something else besides a knight? it is very blurry

Damn! Count me in for the Ad Mech box. Good units (that incidentally I need to round out my force) and no Dominus! Extra Rangers/vanguard but who doesn’t need another Arquebus? Am I right?

As always they put low selling models for a discount (they are good from an economy view ) not the most competitive ones in tournament meta.
Also i must be paranoid but some of the guardian poses strick me as odd like they shouldn't be doable with current guardians box or it's just the lust for brand new plastic Eldar blinding me.

Oh I'd expect them to put enough in for everyone (and maybe a few spares!).
I hope so, my Crimson Fists will be most pleased.
The Primaris upgrade sprues released thus far have 6 shoulder pads for Intercessors, Hellblasters and Reivers (5 for troops one character/ Sgt) and 3 pads for Aggressors and Inceptors. That would suggest probably three, or maybe even four, such sprues in the set.

No confirmation, but the fact it’s just a box of Primaris Marines when there’s already another one of Primaris means it’s incredibly likely. There’s also about a £25 retail price difference on the models combined between the two Primaris boxes, and upgrade sprues have been going for around £8, and this box would need 3....
casvalremdeikun wrote: Do we have confirmation that they are making IF Upgrade Sprues or is that just speculation?
I mean, until we get better pictures it's speculation...
But I'd say it is fairly good confirmation that the box is called Imperial Fists rather than just Primaris like the other one.
That is a very good point. In which case, I can't frickin' wait. I will buy ALL of the Upgrade Sprues. I have Shapeways pauldron icons for all of my Dark Imperium stuff, but I would love to put real IF/CF icons on my other stuff.
What that has me hoping for is an expansion book for Fists. Gimme a better Chapter Tactic!

Also the upgrade sprue rumour comes from the same place that said there’d be 2 Primaris boxes, one of which was Imperial Fists, and that turned out to be correct.

Fair enough. I am sold. The issue is that I already have all the Crimson Fists I need. This box is too little too late for me. I still hope it translates to more rules material for Imperial/Crimson Fists.

well since Marines can make anything up to something like 50% of GW totals sales it kinda makes sense for there to be a heavier focus on them in the Christmas Sales.

Yes and no - the Daughters of Khaine has all good stuff (then again they don't really have bad choices). I think its more that GW doesn't even look at the meta what so ever when they make these. They more likely look at what sells, what doesn't sell and also what looks "cool". Considering that experienced players are likely not the prime target for these bundles; a market yes, but their clear focus is people who are new to an army/game or those who have got a bit but not a huge amount yet.

The vanilla primaris Deal is much better than the fists one if your looking into doing other chapters rather than Fists. I just would prefer having the redemptor instead of the repulsor.

Thank you, that is what I was missing. It must of defaulted when I cleared my cookies and cache the other day. It is a little bit better but still better at Wayland. I think Warstore and MM only go to 20% as well which still runs $20-40+ more than UK (but if I recall that has always been the case). I don't normally buy GW stuff but some of their terrain is multi-functional and kits have been looking good.

Miniature market like all US based online sales are only allowed to do 15% off GW's USA prices. UK prices are approximately 30% savings (depending on how crappy or good the pound is doing) over USA and they get 20% off on top of that at most of their online providers.
So yes if you can have someone in the UK buy them and ship them shipping on larger items like this will be heavy expect to pay $20-35 but you will still save probably around 30% or better.
As far as better savings, no USA online sales that preview the items and put it in a cart and check out are over 15% by GW gestapo laws. You can get 15% on ebay stores and if they are buy it now they usually will do a coupon for an extra 10-15% off which is what I have been doing. Still not as good as getting them at UK deals, but the savings stack. Just pray for a ebay coupon, if it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't have ordered much of anything from GW this year.
UK have some agreement not to ship stuff to US, and most UK online venders won't ship bulky stuff (so all these sets and any boxed set is out aside from start collecting). The wait time is beyond horrible and the savings are rarely worth the frustration. Unless i get substantial savings, just wait for a coupon and do the ebay thing.
