Does anyone know if there are doing model previews on Warhammer Day tomorrow? They announced bunch of video game stuff but no mention of new reveals.

So are they releasing a new Space Marine codex or what? Surely it's not an Ultramarine codex, they would have mentioned that.

If they do its a surprise; there's no running counter or such on the GW Website itself.

Seemingly neither.

Some of the heads do look distinctly feminine, but as a lifelong fan of 80's glam metal, I am skeptical of the concept of "female heads"

Spoiler:

CC Deville was a better looking woman than some of the girls I dated in high school.

Just curious why this can be posted, and my pic and post of a similar nature was taken down by admin?

Mod edit - no, just no.

Ultramarine Vanguard Spearhead is going to be pretty ridiculous - you could field almost the entire army as -1 to hit -1 to wound 4 wound marines if you spam Honour Guard and Company Heroes, and they have enough captains to do it.

So calgar looks pretty much like a straight upgrade over his old version. Swaps his 2 buddies for DS. Can join most units. I suspect he will end up being cheeper, as the ablative wounds from his guard are not free.

Cato had some big changes. Options on how to swing this blade look real nice. Big changes on how he fields/deploys. Can only join victrix guard or join Calgar’s unit. No longer does the scout/assault weapon thing, but can react move 6” when someone gets close. Which seems like it would pair well with the guard’s d6 move when you kill one. Putting him in the same unit as Calgar makes a giant deathball. How much killy do you need in one spot? Free heroic intervention seems nice, especially with his movement tricks.

Victrix seem real nasty. I wonder how many PPM they are going to be. Not going to be a small number. Any character who can join a company heroes unit can join them. Wonder if that will open up any tricks?

Too bad you can't mix sword and board victrix in with the new ones.

THIS, so much this. Having a 6-strong unit of sword&board would be so much fun.

I’m curious how compatible they will be with BGVs. Might do a little mix and matching.

You can join Gravis Calgar to the Victrix. The Victrix have a rule that says "If a Captain of Chapter Master can be attached to Company Heroes they can be attached to this unit instead."

Since there is literally no stat difference (at least that I noticed) with either Calgar. You get the same dude, with 2 extra Victrix Guard and Calgar gets FNP 4+. Hell throw in Sicarus and stick them in a Land Raider and you have a disgusting death star. Yeah its like half your army probably but still.

Passing this on from Halandaar on B&C:

"From Dark Sphere:

"We received our final allocation numbers yesterday from Games Workshop and we will not be able to fulfil any requests for the Crux Terminatus or the dice set but we should be able to fulfil any other requested items for your order from the expected incoming stock."

Looks like this one is going to be very limited. Don't remember Darksphere ever getting nothing allocated at all."

I genuinely don't know if GW are victims of their own success, or if they're having manufacturing issues, or if it's a deliberate change in strategy - but it's a little frustrating that it feels like they just make one batch of a model now and then that's it done. How long ago did Emperor's Children come out? And you still can't get a Lord Kakophonist - still showing as out of stock...

There are lots of LK in stock at third party sellers - a quick Google now shows 13 in stock at Goblin Gaming alone.

It's more like just don't hold stock for own online shop.

Wow. Most of the online discount places didn’t even try to apply a discount to the Crux box!

Those that did, sold out in seconds.

Yep. Just a waste of everyones time. I predict the same with the popular Xmas sets.

Wayland Games had a bit of a meltdown; they would only accept Bitcoin when I got to the shopping cart. GW took my money, but no order confirmation.

At the end of the day these models can bought separately, so not getting a box is not a big deal.

Managed to get the Crux Terminatus box on GWs site. But €200 my God that was a bit of a shock. I got that and Cato and I think that's my Christmas present to myself sorted.

I was on the fence on the box. Could have got one from GW but the price put me off. With regular Terminators and the Captain in the 10th edition launch box, the value just isn't there for me. I have Assault Terminators and the new ones just aren't enough of an upgrade to justify the cost.

If I could have got a discount, maybe I'd have gone for it, but with all the discount sellers offering at full price I'm happy to wait for the individual boxes to come out for the Assault Terminators, then decide if I want them.

I got one, I have some buyers remorse, the Death corps is the one I want and now I get the feeling that retailers will put it out at rrp, the shop I used for this box has done that before. The terminator ancient is sweet though.

The flip side of discounters, not giving discount to this box, is that if you buy all of its content in individual boxes, with the discount applied, Crux Terminatus would be only saving you on one of the special terminators.
If you're not into getting the Chap or Cap then yeah no point in forking 155 in one go. Im just leaving it for later.

I have preordered (we shall see if it ends up existing or if the system oversold the allocation) but at full price, it only just about offsets the stupid character tax.

Ninja’d

I see a few 5 man TDA Assault squad splits on ebay. Around 60€ for 5 plus shipping.

meh. I'll wait until I can order separately from GW, which should happen by December anyways.. If these end up costing 55€, and discounters also get a hold of stock, I can get 5 assault TDAs for much cheaper. More than enough backlog to keep me busy until then

Yeah, waiting seems like the right choice here. Terminators are 55€, Deathwing are 55€, Wolf Guard are 55€. No reason to assume Assault Terminators will be a different price.

I'm sorry, what? How did they slip these guys past us?

Holy crap, that's way too much....

That doesn't make what you said wrong though.

Took a shot on GW's site. Got it into my cart, then it sold out while I was paying. Hell, the order even went through with PayPal (it's currently showing as 'pending').

Seriously, that's really fething stupid.
