The answer to me sounds more like they are definitely going in pre order next week Saturday.

Read it again. They did not imply which Sunday to expect the preview.

Usually they will do one or two MTO weeks at some point during the holiday period, as it allows them maintain cash flows through the holidays despite reduced staffing and throughput capacity, I would expect it after American thanksgiving before new years.

Might be BoC today.

New marauders box and the arcane journal next week, plus a poster map.
Oh and some creaky old empire guys if you’re into that kind of thing.

It is Happening next weekend!!!

Dang. It’s gonna be an expensive hit in 2 weeks for me. I play warriors and empire both. And I want that map for my gaming room I eventually have one day.

"This map is printed on heavyweight poster paper, and unfolds to 1,000mm by 890mm."

It's about time Games Workshop got granular.

Oh wow, those metal halberdiers are going to be popular. They go for a pretty penny and are popular with oldhammer collectors

Nooo! Why the Maurader box before Christmas!

Do we have a precedent for Reinforcement Set pricing? I assume the 10 extra infantry is what the discount's going to be?

New Marauders are great but my heart desires Empire MTO more. Marauders will have to wait.

The Marauders set is €140(€10 less than most other army sets)

So you're getting at least half a unit free. Possibly a full one, assuming the new Marauders come in 20 man boxes like the Cathay infantry.

Still quite expensive for what doesn't ammount to that much in points and also compared to other army sets has not 1 centerpiece.

Unless the box won't get local retailer discount for some reason, it's still going to cost me less than buying the kits individually, which I'd do anyway.

To reiterate, I'm assuming these will follow Cathay pricing. If instead the Horsemen are priced like Silver Helms and the Marauders are 30 to a box, then yeah, there would be no real discount to speak of, but we'd all be better off in the long run.

Also true.

Well this is coming out earlier than I thought. I'm just glad I held off on other purchases I was planning on making. I can make a nice detachment with those Halberdiers.

You are a cruel man.

Nice to see chaos thugs mentioned in the almanack today. Now if we can just get forsaken put back into print…

I'm impressed again with the kit. I don't think I've been impressed so much with a kit (at least until I see the sprues) since the Space Wolf plastics came out back in 2008ish. I still have lots of left over bits that I use from those and hope that will be the case with these as well in terms of extra bits and variety.

Be even cooler if they had those long ships as scenery

I reckon with a bit of shaving down, I could turn them into Catachans for my Feudal Guard.
