Someone needs to do a plastic Greatcoat and Peaked Cap set, it would sell like cakes that are hot.

Alas this release is missing the one 2nd edition Commissar I need, the tall chap walking calmly with a sword and gun. They later added a gasmask to make him the Steel Legion Commissar.

Hate to add to your buying queue but Bulldog cap heads and Les Grognards bodies from WA could scratch that itch.

Of course, they wouldn't be ostentatious 40K Commissar caps but beggars, choosers and all that.

They could make nice Commissar Cadets or Terrax Guard though.

Finally I shall have a pointing gun hand behind back commissar.

Me too! Will stop trying to get one on ebay now

Looks like we're multiple waves for the drop, gents.

Rogal Dorn, repacked Leman Russ, Sentinels, Cadian Shock Troops, Cadian Heavy Weapon Squads, and Cadian Command Squad, Ursula, Lord Boring,

Also:

Have to wonder what the price increase will be on the Russ' with the additional turret sprue in each box, but is in line with GW trying to reduce the amount of SKU's.

So we are still waiting for Kasrkin and what else?

So I was right about the Russ.

If memory serves, it should be a doddle to make the guns interchangeable, barely needing magnets, if it at all?

Rough Riders, Commissar, Castellan & Infantry Upgrade kit?

Kasrkin, Castellan, Rough Riders, Upgrade sprue at least. Was there also a new Commissar miniature?

EDIT: And Combat Patrol, naturally.

Ah yes, was forgetting how much new stuff there was. No idea how I forgot about the Rough Riders

Weird the combat patrol is not available, unless it's due to fairly poor direct sales of cadia stands so they want to shift them first - only just about sold out at third parties in the last few weeks in the UK.

Changing schedule like that in this order varies from impossible to bloody expensive for gw

Kreig as a non-Kill Team kit?

Why would you ever want that?

It's the same kit as what would be released, with an additional sprue.

I could see them just keeping the kill team boxes for now, until they finally run out of that print. No reason to double up SKUs for now.

Just because you see no reason to, doesn't mean that other people wouldn't want it.

Its pretty amusing the Sanctioned Psyker gets an unexpected re-release outside its original box set, yet the Chaos Master of Possession is still to see a single release despite the fact it would sell tons.

Annoying that the upgrade set is not released alongside with the infantry.

Will need to see the price list in a day or two to decide if I'm going to bite the bullet and pick up a copy of Cadia Stands from my LGS - I'm not keen on the new Sentinel, and don't really need 20 more Cadians that aren't going to blend in all that well with the ones I've already got, but we'll see.

On the other hand, it would be amazing if they threw it in the combat patrol box as well.

Euro and GBP prices

Somewhat surprised at the Rogal Dorn price.

It does seem kind of…restrained? Leman Russ price is also OK, I guess.

Character prices can get right in the bin though.

I mean. Come on.

How much has the Baneblade gone up by this time?

And that pegs the Ordnance Battery at AUD$84, which would make the ones I own worth AUD$504. Yeah, sure, I'll live with the 58% discount I got...

I think it was £90 last time I looked, so a nice 11% increase

It started at 90 USD, same as battleforces back in the day. The Shadowsword was $99 when it came out a year later. I can't remember what it was when they combined all the sprues into one box. $120 or $140?

2019. Euro price it was 120e, now 130e.

Kind of happy with Rogal price, I expected $100 or so. 70 Euros is less than that even in GW magic conversion rate land.

UK prices for anyone wanting to convert on GW store.

So Cadia Stands! works out at ~1/3 of retail?

Hard to say if it actually sold poorly. Cadia Stands was released on Black Friday. One would think if GW deviates from their normal release day to get those Black Friday sales, they would also have made a suitably large number so they don't sell through in five minutes.

Stands to reason they'd consider the possibility that a Combat Patrol won't sell so well after flooding the market with the army box, and give it some more time before dropping it.
