I remember when codices used to be four months apart.

It would have been good to get this massive blockage of Marine dexes, models etc out of the way but we seem stuck with them for some months until the new marine stuff with the Pyschic campaign - it also means a much longer wait for the inevitable FAQs to fix the issues.

I am looking forward to the Salamanders dex but sadly the character models still remain too much money for me to bother.

Did we get a timeframe for the release of the new Impulsor. I can't seem to find it if we did.

It will drop almost certainly drop alongside the last two supplements in October.

I wouldn't call that 'certain'.

Each supplement has come with 1 kit and a few character models. We're still waiting on Suppressors, Infiltrators, and the Impulsor. It'd be great if we got all three of those with Salamanders and Imperial Fists, but I have this sneaking suspicion that we're going to be waiting another month for the rest of that release.

Suppressors don't have a kit. They're Shadowspear only and look to be staying that way.

I'd expect the remaining Marine kits that are getting a release (two characters, Infiltrators and Impulsor) to hit with the final two books.

I wonder if the Iron Hands and Raven Guard dice will drop then too? We know SLamanders are getting some, no idea why there weren't any for this wave.

Ow that you mention it there weren’t, were there? I’d not noticed we missed those. I am awaiting the Salamanders dice so I do hope those come out looking good and on time.

Would really be keen to see a black Templar release, got a apocalypse marine battalion box set to build and paint and would quite like to do some templars.

They'll probably get release once the box goes out of print, like the buggies from speed freeks.

Isn't the box already out of print? Hence why the Lieutenant, Librarian and Captain are all released as clampacks?

Except that the buggies from Speed Freaks, as much as all the Ork buggies were monopose, were their own kits. Suppressors are part of a larger sprue that has other things on it.

Yep. It is really bizarre situation. It was available for a very short time (luckily I got one.) And now the Suppressors are completely unavailable. It seems really weird to design all those sprues and then just not continue selling the box.

It's even more bizarre when you realize that the Phobos Lieutenant that was released isn't the same as the one from Shadowspear.

Shadowspear's Lieutenant is on what I dubbed the 'Command Sprue'. It had the Sergeants for all the squads, the Phobos Lieutenant, and the mini-Apothecary, plus a few Infiltrator poses.

I’ve got a feeling a lot of these monopose model sprues are going to end up in Start Collecting boxes.

Suppressors? They will come as own kit. Marine players just have no patience. Non marines are often waiting half a year for theirs.

I'll agree with you there, as a Marine and also non-marine player. But particularly, I can think of just 1 single unit locked into a box set and that would be the Gravis Captain from Dark Imperium. Sure, unique models such as Haldor Icepelt or the Dark Vengeance sculpts or AoBR for example, but actual UNITS in the codex, only the Gravis Captain as a way to incentivise sales of the starter kit.

Primaris Ancient and bolt carbine Lt?

Then there are cultists from DV with several options that were never released at all, ditto for all 3 DA characters in DV...

Deffkoptas... still waiting.

Its... been half a year. Shadowspear came out in march. So far suppressors aren't even on the calendar. At least there is some idea the Infiltrators are actually happening.

This isn't a 'marine player' thing. Sometimes units just fall through a hole in GW's release schedule and never happen. Cultists have functionally been replaced by the <of the Abyss> models from Blackstone, most of the ork fast attack just never got updated in favor of the stupid six.

regarding the gravis captain, once we get a new starter box, I expect the contents of Know no fear to be packaged seperately as start collecting primaris marines and start collecting death guard.

Technically both they and plastic warboss are in Vedros series. But yeah, for most of the ork players the ork refresh from 5th edition might not even exist at all...

Death Watch players were told that we would get access to the new marine units once they figured out how to put DW shoulder pads on the phobos guys (or at least that was/is the rampant speculation as to why DW is the only marine chapter outside of GK that doesn't get access to the new guys).
I really need them to at least address if DW is ever going to get access to the new guys or if we are just getting squatted for 8th along side GK...

The Battle for Vedros kits went the way of the squats. They even killed the Battle for Vedros Facebook page.

Really? It's still on their main page, so I assumed it's still going on: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Vedros

I also see it listed on Revell carrying pages, though that might be leftover stock or something.

Fair call on the Primaris Ancient forgot him, just him and the Gravis Cap. The lieutenant doesn't come under what I'm describing as he is just a Primaris Lieutenant - I shouldn't have to list the number of Primaris Lt. models out there. You can still legally field a Primaris Lieutenant using an existing model without any alterations whatsoever. Ancient and Captain however, only available through DI or conversions.

Cultists were made available. Options, no. Unit available without alteration? Yes.

Same with the DV characters. They are just a Captain, Librarian and Chaplain. Special models, yes but functionally no different than any other chaplain, captain or librarian model available. Same with the Battle for Macragge Tactical Squad, Genestealers and Termagaunts, the AoBR Captain, Dreadnought, Tacts, Termies, Boyz, Nobs, Boss and Deffkoptas.

On the Deffkoptas, they were available as metal models. Again, not ideal but still available without using the starterbox or conversion work.

 Deadshot wrote:

Some of them were. They're missing unit leaders and weapon upgrades though. Plus, if you want cultists you have to get the same 5 poses, over and over.

Not with all of their 2 weapon options.

Really? I wouldn't expect that- Those are mono-pause models in colored plastic, with no weapon options. Not the sort of thing that usually shows up in start collecting boxes.

Yeah, no. Over half the unit is missing. You might as well argue that these

and these
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Easy-To-Build-Ork-Boyz-2018
are good enough on their own to make full guard squads and ork mobs.

They did split the AoS starter into two Start Collecting sets
