This is probably someone who bought from this ebay seller who I posted about a week ago, other interesting bits are that this person had more than 1, I think it was 10? So not just a case of "I got sent one box by mistake instead of something else" like how the new Dante leaked back then.
On Discord I heard that the mistaken order was sent to a trade customer within their new stock, which is why they received so many boxes.
Given the current state of rumours, I'd bet we see something like:
Jan 6th: TOW preorder
Jan 13th: DA army box preorder
Jan 20th Next LI wave
Jan 27th: AOS
This week between the holidays is always a weird one. Big businesses just don't operate normally since various states of the supply chain and management are on vacation.
So, we just gotta hold tight through the next week for things to start getting back on some sort of track.
Expect more 2-week preorders going forward, personally. So even if we do get the next wave of LI things sometime in January, I don't expect they'll hit the shelves until Feb. And then there's of course all the other stuff that's been out of stock since the release early December that hopefully someday will come back. Really hope LI doesn't go the way of the Kasrkin where it only comes back in stock twice a year for 5 minutes.

I can hardly tell the difference between the plastics and my prints, except that the prints have exchangeable sponsons, also with blender I was able to add 3D legion Icons instead of decals, stowage and a few different options. Honestly I may just sell the rest of the plastics, I only built one of each to ensure scale, they are very annoying to build compared to the prints which consist of less than half the parts, but are just as detailed if not more.
Also if you have a printer...have some free storage solutions

The plastics are a bit more detailed. That said, give me a couple of hours and I could add that detail to the 3D model.
I do prefer the workflow of 3D printing for Epic. I'm slow, so it takes me maybe an hour to support a model, but once they're supported it's less time consuming to pump out a pile of models then if I were building the plastic models.
The bottoms of 3D printed models do look ugly with all the supports, but if you aren't picking the models up to view the bottom of them, it's not really an issue.
My 3D prints still have noticeable layer lines though, which is surprisingly more noticeable on tanks than it is on infantry.
I have seen prints with no lines its a filament bambo printer. dont know if you write it like that.
but it creates a smooth print. but i will buy gw mini's, dont ask me way layzy
full compagny of bloodangels, 5000 pnt of epic bloodangels
5000 pnt imperial guard
5000 pnt orks
2500 pnt grey knights

Interesting how we are getting this book later this month with probably the models that have rules in it but are also still waiting on stuff from the inital wave

Odds are they come together then. Maybe as a part of catching up the original delay.
Not quite sure on the point of the "Titandeath" rules, sounds like it's designed for games purely of knights and titans, so basically Adeptus Titanicus but without all the in depth titan rules.

That’s no bad thing, gives an option to play with a lot of your titan toys without needing 8 hours and another 6x4 board for all the cardboard. Won’t be for everyone ofc but some will like it.

Does allow for bigger games between titans without breaking the game.
For example that would be scale where imperators might actually work up. AT imperator would break up.

Yes very likely it will just all come together. But just taking the stuff they are directly talking about in the article and shown in the images, so fast attack box, Spartans, both drop pod boxes, SA artillery and Dracosans, are already 6 boxes plus the missing stuff so another two boxes plus four Titan boxes, two knight boxes and four aircraft boxes.
So we are looking at 18 individual kits plus the book.
Not everything will likely be released at that time but its still a lot.

anything smaller than an Armiger has no place in Titandeath battles
So yes it's only for knights and up. I would think its not just the same 1 Knight/1 Titan detachments from the core book but a bit expanded army lists and if so there should be nothing really stopping you from just using those titan only stuff together with normal detachments or against them

Not really a surprise given how the rulebook was done.... but I'm still disappointed the approach is going to be to release rules for units across campaign books.
I just love carting a library of heavy hardback rulebooks around to play a single faction
I hope the epub releases the same time as the physical book, as has been the case so far for LI.
With these units releasing in Q1, I could finally start collecting a LI army.. but I'll give it some more time to mature. I'd imagine a good point to jump on board will be when the next campaign book drops
Titandeath games sound suitably Epic.. I await the first battreps with 6000 points of Titans & Knights per side

"The larger point though, is that as players, we have more control over what the game looks and feels like than most of us are willing to use in order to solve our own problems"
A recent (accurate) leaker who said TOW was a Jan 6th preorder also expects an AOS/FEC preorder on Jan 27th, meaning that LI will either be the 13th or 20th

There's plenty of AT players out there with 20+ model collections that GW will want to gently encourage into LI if they're not already. Not to mention they are still to release the discounted knight & titan 'battleforce' boxes that were intended for xmas.

What do people use for epubs? Does everyone just have a tablet by default these days? Do you edit out all the waffle between the rules to make it easier to navigate?
A laptop doesn't really seem convenient for wargaming, and I imagine my ereader (old Kindle) won't be able to do anything with it.
nice to see the book due soon, less pleased it looks like a lot of it is fludd or otherwise not needed to actually play but ends up being lugged about.
is what it is, will be nice to finally let SA have mechanisation and marines get the speeders etc though
Interesting to see the next expansion book going up for preorder when we are still waiting on the release of 2 support boxes and 4 armor boxes for the initial set...

it may go up at the same time as those boxes, then the newer stuff thats in the book itself follows - on release many have the titans and knights so its usable etc
guessing they are rushing to get back on the initial schedule
