Interesting that it's the older MK3 kit and not the redesigned version

May depend on the lead time for designing the toy

What do these joytoy fellas normally retail for?

It varies massively - have a look at Cool Toys Club. The basic, mass-produced ones can be cheap but it's inconsistent.

And IF pricing direct from GW - Warhammer Merch.

Alpha Legion Saboteur Consul – Pre-order from 23rd of December
Thousand Sons Librarian Consul – Pre-order from 16th of December

Sunday Preview – Kill Team: Salvation Stalks Into View

Raven Guard don’t actually have a legion specific consul to get a model of though,

Ah well...
I didn't know they didn't have one. But then other then a slightly more the cursory glance, can't say ive paid much attention to their rules. Sort of renders the whole point moot I guess.

Kind of like the Iron Warriors. They don't have a Praetor either. Though they do have the Terminators with cyclone missiles and then the guardians for Perterabo. The Raven Guard have the jump pack marines and sniper marines. The tie breaker is that there was a special character that was a special edition model about 8-9 years ago.

Have many people got their Assault Marines today? Element were shorted on their order and are awaiting more stock and saw none in the Coventry Warhammer shop or local FLGS this morning.

My FLGS doesn't have any of today's releases. It has become the norm for them to arrive middle of the following week at the earliest, despite the FLGS submitting their order day 1. Owner says the fethup is with either the GW rep in charge of the zone or the outgoing UPS hub. UPS losing entire pallets has also become a regular occurrence.

Been pretty normal here for half a year more. Bit improved since 2 week preorder started but still not quaranteed.

My flgs still waiting most of li stuff...some arrived thursday but starters still MIA. (other branches of same store got right away and other stores in same city got so for all intents and purposes random)

None of the local gaming stores in the Helsinki area received MKVI Assault squads yet. I have a reservation going on two of them, Warhammer Helsinki said "we dont stock Heresy items unless ordered separately".. I hope they will still arrive before new years to other stores

Seems like the best chance for scoring a product on official release day over here is by preordering from GW website and having it delivered to the local Warhamer store. Not ideal (no way to buy in installments or getting discounts)

It has been an odd release, have not seen anything from the usual influencers either. We got the Warcom article with GW staffer versions and that was about it.

I suppose the healthiest "solution" is to simply relinquish the expectation of having new releases on release day. It's a sad state of affairs, GW deliveries used to be absolutely impeccable here outside the few months immediately following Brexit.

Update for Australia/Kiwiland:

Mk.VI Jumpy Marines will be on pre-order this weekend.

FLGS had the 2 sets I asked for available on release day, no problems. VA, US for the location. Nice easy kit to put together.

Its kind of funny that I have already bought MKVI Assault bitz, yet am unable to buy the whole kit.. Xmas flocking up the whole package delivery industry this time around

Apothecaries

Hitting it out of the park again.

Looks like the old Mk 2 and 4 apothecary kit is gone though.

Will we see a Mk V and/or VI Techmarine next?

Ooh, pretty!

Like both except the helmet on the MKV guy.

He will survive in his MkV , in his MkV he will survive.

I wish one still had MkIV armour but they do look great.

Did either the SoH or IF get an official 'old school' Apothecary colour scheme?

Todays articles don't seem to be showing up on Warcom, so thanks for the link.

Nice models as usual although surprised they'll be in resin as they're not legion-specific.

I did really think they would be in plastic tbh.

But anyway, they are pretty nice.

No Heresy Thursday today?

Apothecaries

Not bad, but I assumed we’d get a plastic mk6 apothecary in the future plastic command squad. A different armor mk may have made this more enticing

Wow, these look so bland compared to the MK2/3 and MK4 ones.

Also, appears MKV Assault marines are also gone. Damn, I really liked them :(

Fabulous! MkV helmet looks a bit weird though, hope they change that should this mark ever get a plastic squad.

Wonder if this means that the Command Squad won't have Apothecary bitz?

Even if the command squad has apothecary parts, they will likely be a lot more generic to use on various poses, jump packers, jetbikes, ect.The Mk VI with apron will still stand out.

Seems likely that MkV plastics are coming sooner than anticipated based on this (and the removal of some of the resin mkv kits), no?

A bit disappointed by this release being in resin though. Was hoping we'd get plastic command squad kits or "detachment" kits for things like Apothecaries, tech marines, etc.

Apothecary wouldn't have been in a Command Squad box because HH Command Squads don't have them.
