Those blips are nice, but I went in for the big $200 numbered limited edition last time and I probably don't need to do that again. I might stick with the collector's edition.

that edition is too good to pass though :p
The last one was valid for about a year. I could be a little bitter about that inside.

Wow those blips look incredible. Sealed the deal for me, gonna try and grab the special edition. Any more pics? Do you know what the cards in the box are also? Are they the tactical objectives?

Man, as much as I would love that second special edition, probably going to have to settle for the middle one. Those acrylic blips look nice.
It's also nice to see a few small customization options for characters.

I mean, fifty bucks is on the line.
There's no rule that says I can't.
Please can someone clarify this for me: cAn cult ally in baneblade variants ie shadowsword via brood brothers. There’s a lot of conflicting mess in this

Far as we know - yes. You'd lose half a CP though*...?
* Which effectively rounds up to 1, as you can't spend half CP.

Yup so just take a supreme command detachment since it is only 1cp anyways. Plus if you take 3 company commanders they should have the correct keywords to be able to order the brood brothers around.

Going to be honest with you, that book and those counters look cheap, though the counters are slightly better than the book just based on the rader effect being visible from the side. Though the obvious marks from the die cutter and the chipping on the top counter in the rear stack take away from that a fair bit.
But the book? Ugh. As someone who spent too many years working in bookstores and libraries, I can tell what they were going for, but they cut a lot of corners to do it. The textured cover is going to lose the writing and symbols over time, and those gold corners are cheap, fragile and visibly loose, even in the photo. And you can clearly see the warp in the binding compared to the pages in multiple places. It's just a shoddy piece of work.

Tell me that is a mistake. Really? Genestealers in the Genestealer cult codex don't have a faction trait...really?
In other news Meganobs not orks, Tac Marines not astartes and Eldar shuriken weapons nerfed by increasing their range by 12".
Seriously though is that just someone making a mistake or is that true?
Purestrains dont really show up to meetings or work well with the infiltrations or cult chain of command. They are mechanically auxillaries to the cult force, while in the nid codex the hive mind brings them in line. Meganobz are a bad example, but see flash gitz who dont get klan traits unless in a freeboota detachment, or kroot or ratlings, who dont get sept or regiment bonuses respectively.
What you cannot order all the modells at once?! I need them all at the same time in the corner of my living room to not paint them. When will Games Workshop understand?!

Wow, only 800 copies for the Collector's edition? So over half the people stopped buying collector's editions then? My god $300 Canadian for it? No wonder they are not selling.
How long is this going to last, 8 months or so like the last one?

Yup, IMO you have to be a little crazy or rich to order those editions. They rarely have an active life of 2 years (or even less as Davor noted with the GSC 7th edition codex) and do not retain anything like their initial value. But more power to those that have the expendable income to buy them if they want.
Pre order wise I went for the vanilla codex, Jackals, Locus and a box of neophytes. I can see, at least, a couple of Ridgerunners in my future.
I was thinking it might be possible to spread the female heads from the outrider kit around, but there are definite female and male torsos among the minis. Might be odd to put those heads on male bodies...
I really want the Jackal Alpha but at for £22.50 (not a surprising price) I just can't bring myself to bite because
all this lot is £32.50 (a pretty darn good price for what you get), so an extra £10 gives me an extra 3 bikers and a Quad so I guess I'll need to do some converting

My budget is only $150, so I am going to stick with the codex, Jackal Alphus and something else, as yet undecided what it will be. Guess I’ll just go the shop and probably impulse buy something!

All the models at once? Just need to requisition those ridge runners for the Imperial Guard. Maybe the bikers as rough riders too, in which case may get them parted out as I wouldn't need the quad. What self respecting hobbyist limits piles of unfinished models to just the living room. Amateurs! Amateurs I tell you.
Hmmmm. Return to Taros could use a drill too.....being all about the mining.
