New White Dwarf also Online?

I'm hoping to pick up a good deal on the main rulebook and Liber Astartes books once it drops - hopefully the Bay of E will be awash with them...

Rulebooks will be cheap, I suspect, but the Liber books are only sold separately, so not sure you'll get such a good deal there...

I must be blessed by the Omnissiah today - got in early and just ordered!

GW is sending the limited tokens ahead of the actual products, kind of strange.. but all I care is that I got them. Stoked!

I've waited almost 30 years for this day.. Feels good man

Just the Traitor book for me.

Well, the queue was actually fine for me, got in at 09.55am and managed to order the boxed set, 2 x liber books and the bookmark. Hopefully others don't have any issues.

Yeah, weirdly I got redirected from the queue back into the main site at like 09:55 - I wasn't planning on ordering from GW just wanted to see. Now I've refreshed and been put back in the queue...

What was cool, but could frustrate? Got in, order my bewk. Clicked “return to shopping” and wound up back in queue.

Great for stopping people putting through multiple orders. Not so great if you’ve been daft and forgot to order something!

So now its pretty standard that most box sets are above the psychological barrier of the £100 as such GW is going for the £200 goal.

£180 yeah right.

QueIt seems to be still around 5mins..

Not much of a barrier when you figure out the box with a 2000 pts army and a 300 page book is cheaper than just 4 tactical squads and a 22 year old Land Raider sculpt.

While it's a big sticker price you get so much stuff in this one I don't think it's too bad. It's not a Warcry Catacombs situation

Individual box sets are ridiculous overpriced so this artificially looks a good deal.

Like ash wastes. £180 box set and individual terrain goes for a fortune.

You can get the box for 140 quid on any discount shop.

140 quid for a whole army and the rules is pretty good no?

The box set is a fantastic price, despite the somewhat limited MKVI sprue. Haters gonna hate I guess?

Yeah considering the superheavy vehicle that'd go for over 80 bucks on it's own, it's a surprisingly cheap set, I was expecting more like £300.

Still not really interested in going for it though, I mostly just want the contemptor. Will prolly pick up a handful of the marines for my deathwatch conversion box eventually, when they're individually sold.

So, looks like the Kratos is popular. I’ve seen a few online shops blowing through their first allocation

I ordered my stuff for Wayland. I wanted to use Alchemist but their site is unusable right now. In my efforts though I noticed the Astartes book dropped from 50+ in stock to just 13, and they're down to 87 AoD boxes (didn't notice the initial number). Not a great sign tbh, people are going to miss this initial wave and even just a month of delay will be very disappointing for many.

I went for

1x boxset
1x Kratos
1x Deimos
1x Special Weapons box
1x heavy weapons box

from an online store, sub £280 and no regrets. Roll on the 18th

1x box, 1x deimos, 1x special weapons from my FLGS

Two boxes and two Rhinos for me!

Dark. imperium was a good deal and varied content at good price... Indomitus was ok but £25 too much and varied.... This is limited sprue spam, for £80 too much.

Sure its a good deal in a reality of silly priced individual kits that most of the times are way above the £30 mark these days. Heck even just weapons sprues are at £26.... great.

The similar priced sets we have to Dark imperium are things like Eldritch Omens which only shows what you get.

Hater? No, just sensible about value and price. So I vote with wallet and dont buy.

New shiny for both existing 30k players, newbies and those getting it for 40k I guess.

After time in the queue, I still can't find the HH rulebook.
The two tomes seem to be codex type books and state "In order to use the contents of this book, you will require a copy of the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Rulebook."
Is the rulebook not available except in the pricey box set?

If you think that GW should sell what is effectively a small army of new products plus a rulebook for £100 then your opinion is simply not based on reality.

If that makes me a "lover", than come here, big boy! XXX

Not yet, no.

You should be able to find them on Ebay cheap pretty soon if Indomitus/Dominion were any indication.

Ah, I stupidly forgot to put in the Liber Astartes will be from my usual discounter, the main rule book ebay.

Anyone got any feeling on what will the most picked up of the included models once the boxed set is split on the 'bay?

Gw artificially generated reality, sure. Not my reality.

Thanks but Its not you, its me so I will pass XXX

I give it a couple years or less before we get to the £200 mark. In the meanwhile enjoy it if you can I guess.
