Warhammer Community wrote:It’s going to be another full week here on the Warhammer Community website as we continue to look ahead to the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. We’ll be taking a closer look at Vehicles, monstrous creatures, blast weapons and terrain, as well as previewing rules from War of the Spider.
On Saturday, you’ll be able to catch the next Warhammer Preview Online! Last month, we revealed the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. This time, we have something else amazing for you – the upcoming boxed set. We’ll be lifting the lid and showing off the awesome models and more that the launch box contains – so make sure that you join us from 2pm (BST). We think this is the best Warhammer 40,00 boxed set that we’ve ever made, so don’t miss it!
I for one am looking forward to this. There are a few things in the pics we think are the box contents which Necron players have no ID for.
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
Looking forward to seeing these amazing new Necron kits, but I'm not going to bother with the livestream. They've all shown too little IMO but the last one, which was built up as the biggest ever and ended up showing two and a half models, was the straw that broke the camel's back. Especially as shortly afterwards we saw leaked photos of loads of stuff. If they'd shown half of that in the actual event it would have been much more exciting.
at Vehicles, monstrous creatures, blast weapons and terrain, as well as previewing rules from War of the Spider.
This Part probably.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.
Love the Combat Intercessors and even the chunky bikes.
Not too keen in the Veterans. My army theme is Vanguard and Reseve Companies, so I could have 8th Co bikes and Combat Intercessors, and 9th company Melta guys. But the Vets are out of place.
Might just hold off till the Intercessors are sold separately.

I'll try to watch the rules previews and check out the previews for War of the Spider but have no interest in the box set as I don't play Necrons and am only interested in how primaris look in my opponent's dead pile.

So it seems that the leaked images were indeed what we would see inside of the box. Hopefully we get some in depth stuff about them instead of just them saying "Look, here they are"
I'm looking forward to the assault intercessors, hellfury, & bikes. The veterans shields are looking like great starting points for drakescale sculpting.
All of the other units in the box have basically zero interest to me(they're horrid, I'm looking @ you Judicator & Ancient). Will prob sell them to get more units my Salamanders can actually use.
I wouldn't be surprised if we only get the unit name, pics and a little bit of information tomorrow with a more in-depth look via Warhammer Community in the following week or so.

I'm looking forward to all the cool models. My oldest is collecting Necrons, and I'm building up a Primaris stockpile for an eventual return of my very first 40K army in biggerized form.
All this rules drama...I dunno. I don't understand how anyone takes 40K that seriously. At least not anyone who's been around for a few editions or more.
The question is do we get 2 scarab swarms, or 4? If you look at the bottom right picture of the space marine one, you can see barely see more than 2 scarab swarms. Though, that could just be to give the marines something to be facing and not indicative of the models in the box.
But, since the current warriors came with 2 scarab swarms per 10 models, so it's not impossible to think we could get 4 for the 20 in the boxset

Looks like its as the rumoured pics then. Some nice models but for me its easy to pass since I'm not keen on necrons and only like a few of those Primaris there.
A shame since I usually get some kits for me on my upcoming Bday so its a missed chance really.
I hope the SM dex is sold not long after this boxset though.

We know the two model halves already. What I'm most curious about is if the rumour that the box has two Kill Team boards inside is true (allowing buyers to start playing right away).
Second question is whether terrain is included, and how much.
Third is whether they also preview supplemental purchases like a Secondary Mission deck, new objective markers and that sort of thing.

GW makes us pay for rules at a high price. If the rules are bad the complaints make sense. Stop settling for mediocrity.

I hope the vanilla SM book doesn't get an update off the bat and they update one of the older ones first. If they updated SM again so soon...
It's not that hard to have an extra PDF or booklet, considering how much we already have!

Actually for simplicity sake they should have bigger and less books... PDFS errata, dex, etc etc... Its such a PITA to even try to find what you need that its best to have less split data.

At some point, you have to look at what something is and has been for over 30 YEARS and accept that it's not changing. They have you on a treadmill and you're complaining because YOU can't figure out you're not getting anywhere and/or refuse to get off.
Meanwhile, GW is pouring even MORE narrative focus into 9th and the TOs will soon be hammering harder than ever to pound that square peg into the round hole of "pro Warhammer" and pretend that the game is really aimed at them. Look, they can do whatever they want and so can you. I just don't get it. It's like buying a '70s Jaguar and complaining that it's not the ultra-reliable, safe, high MPG family sedan that you need. This isn't even a bash at GW. They make much better rulesets than 40K...better suited to more competitive play. For light-hearted, casual fun with my kid, 40K works just fine.
Dentry wrote: Oh boy! I can't wait to be surprised by the never-before-seen contents of the new starter box!
Will they be revealing the price of the starter or is that going to be revealed when pre-orders go live?
The price will get released when preorders go up, as they tell us it's in limited stock because of corona. Then everyone will buy it regardless of price because of fomo.
A GW profit win and a sell out to brag about.
I love my Necrons, but I have a feeling most of my army will be redundant soon.
Currently most played: Silent Death, Mars Code Aurora, Battletech, Warcrow and Infinity.

I picked up Dark Imperium recently since it's going OOP. I had only purchased the rulebook before. And wow, there was a lot of plastic in that box. I might have poo-pooed the idea of boards or some terrain before -- I found it hard to believe that the pics we saw could represent starter box forces -- but I'm willing to believe now.
