I've seen that style by a few people. It's just a different take on the weapon - not surprising to see it on a beginner focused product as its much easier to paint the whole tube as a glowing rod than pick out the little inlay details

It also looks the most like the ‘classic’ Necrons, especially as Tesseract Glow fluoresces like the old plastic rods did.

You did. They are.
So here's the article where they announced them as pushfits.

I was a bit pressed for time as I had to go check on an animal. Forgive the initial brusqueness.

Is it just me, or do those Assault Intercessor's in the paint set look like they might have sculpted icons on there shoulder pads? The current/old three man Intercessor paint set didn't show any shoulder badges on the Marines, and I cant see what else the new set would need Corax white for.

The terrain set looks pretty good. Roughly equivalent to a Ravaged Land or Kill Zone, so I expect it'll be around $100, which is maybe a little too much for something being sold as a starter expansion that they want you to buy 4 of. It also makes me worried about what they will charge for the Command edition, seeing as it is the Elite + terrain set + rulebook.

Edit: Is the board the same one that was recently released separately?

It’s one of the two boards that was in the double board set.

You did. They are.

From Warhammer Community for reference:

Who do you think is winning the battle of the big guns? All of these kits will be available as push fit models – which is good because you’re going to want a lot of them.

Ahhh. Now I see the picture. Now I feel the pinch!

Good that they're bringing them out. Hopefully the ETB kits (Doomstalker etc) follow next week

Wait, those are going to be easy to build?

It was confirmed from the beginning:

Who do you think is winning the battle of the big guns? All of these kits will be available as push fit models – which is good because you’re going to want a lot of them. We can safely say these are hardly the last new kits you’ll see for both Primaris Space Marines and Necrons, including multipart kits, big centrepiece models, and more vehicles. Stay tuned for more information as soon as we have it!

The Invader ATV, Firestrike turret, Lokhust Destroyer & Canoptek Doomstalker are all push-fit

edit: was already posted above, my b

They do, which is annoying. I did what I could to limit duplication in the Assault squad in the box, but three fresh poses would have gone a long way (especially with the irritating way they did the sergeant, stupid belt helmets)
But there is a noticeable edge to the iconography, especially on the model in the back.

So, since both of the Models + Paint sets contain three minis, does that basically confirm that a box of 10 new Warriors (and 3 Scarabs) will cost as much as a box of 10 Primaris troops?

Seven Plague Marines don't cost the same as ten Intercessors, so I don't see why it would.

Nice, hopefully that means they are going to be cheaper than i expected.
But that might also explain the ATVs....oddness

What oddness? The overall design?

Nah. That's not because it's an ETB. That's because someone likely saw some of the armed quads that got used in recent conflicts and thought it would be cool.

Seven Plague Marines are cheaper then ten Intercessors because you get three less in a box?

Ooooh... new terrain. Love it.

especially new wall panels that block line of sight fully.

That Necron paint set looks like it actually contains only paints I want and need more of. Well, maybe not the base texture, but aside from that it's a good selection. May have to get one.

It's generally good to see that GW doesn't take long to release the starter sets.

Love the new terrain set- very nice!

I'm a little disappointed that it is packaged with a set of boards, but hopefully that doesn't spike the price too much - Saturday's pre-orders should be... interesting when it comes to proces, methinks.

Prices from Valrak on B&C

At least the Battlefield expansion held the Ravaged Land price point at £55 I was expecting £60 like Souldrain Forest or £65 just cause new edition price rise reasons.

So we're looking at AUD$260-ish for the big starter, given that it's £10 more than Soul Wars and Soul Wars is AUD$220.

Is it a set of boards, or just one board?

GW on the Command Edition Starter wrote:... the Command set also features a fold-out, double-sided gaming board as well as a selection of brand-new, push-fit battlefield terrain to fight over.

GW on the Command Edition Battlefield Expansion Set wrote:The Warhammer 40,000 Command Edition Battlefield Expansion Set includes a fold-out, double-sided gaming board and a selection of 12 pieces of plastic push-fit terrain – both of which also feature in the Command Edition starter set.

I know the picture has two, but it sure sounds like it only has one.

Elite Edition is a whole 15 Pounds more expensive than Know No Fear. Why do ya gotta be like this GW?

They're an awkward price for me, too much to absent mindedly buy to add to indomitus, but cheap enough you might want them independently.

It is one double sided board, the picture only shows both sides of the same single one in the box

Profit. Why wouldn't they be?

Have you seen the bikes or Destroyers in person?

They're not small.

Prices are decent. That said, the Elite edition could have been £70 with a softback version of the slim-rule book and the Command edition could have had the full 40K rule book. As they are I'd have them at £60 and £95 respectively.

Personally, I'm going for the Recruit edition and, hoping that they do, get the Command edition's rule book if its sold separately. Would have preferred an excuse to purchase the Elite edition but hey-ho, it is what it is. Still good value no matter how we look at them.

Almost certainly going to grab the Command Edition and sling my fat rulebook from Indomitus on ebay. Have been saying ever since I got it I wished it was jsut the back half to cart around. This stripped-down version's basically my ideal rulebook.

Know No Fear had 31 miniatures in it, Elite Edition has 26 and is 15 pounds more expensive. No matter how giant the bikes are, they don't justify this.
