The Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes are Humanity's ultimate warriors, dedicated to the defence of the Emperor and the Imperium of Man. They are barely human at all, but superhuman, having been made superior, in all respects, to a normal man by a harsh regime of genetic modification, psycho-conditioning and rigorous training. Organised into small independent armies called Chapters, their unswerving loyalty is to the Emperor of Mankind and no other.

This box set contains: one 144-page Codex: Space Marines, one multi-part plastic Drop Pod, three multi-part plastic Scout Bikes, five metal Sternguard Veterans, five metal Vanguard Veterans, one metal Thunderfire Cannon, one metal Sergeant Telion, One metal Sergeant Chronus, one metal Pedro Kantor and one metal Ultramarines Captain Sicarius."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347855.page GMT SM Spearhead available for pre-order

I wonder what the cost savings is, if any? Typically it's that you get the codex 'free', which isn't a great deal necessarily, especially if you don't want everything in the box.

I'll probably buy the stuff one at at time...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347892.page GMT SM Spearhead available for pre-order http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347897.page GMT SM Spearhead available for pre-order http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347918.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347918.page GMT Re:SM Spearhead available for pre-order

New bases... too bad I use Darkage/warmachine bases.

At a guess:
Codex $25 (this much we do know)
Scout bikes $35 ish?
Drop pod rumoured to be in the are of $30-40
Tecmh marine and cannon $35?
Sternguard $35?
Vanguard $35?
special character $15 a piece? so $60?

Grand total of about anywhere from $255-$265?

There are no cost savings on spearheads. They are simply bundle boxes that allow you to get all the new products for an army earlier. This boxed set does not include the Redeemer or the new landspeeder.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347981.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/347981.page GMT SM Spearhead available for pre-order

Unless those are their custom made bases that they just shoved on the Scouts for the picture.

That'd make me a sad panda.

I wouldn't think they would be stupid enough to put custom mini's on a product cover like that.

But who knows . . .

That would be something I'd be looking forward to coming out and 'bout time too.

This might be worthwhile if the models were plastics, so i could convert them to be spiky marines. however, this seems to have little value to non-Ultras.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/348314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/348314.page GMT SM Spearhead available for pre-order http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/348331.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/348331.page GMT SM Spearhead available for pre-order
And I guess this represents the first wave. Every other Marine special character we've had rumoured, plus every other new option (other than that flamer Land Raider) won't be out for years (like the 2nd wave Orks). Great.


Speaking of which, why isn't the new Land Raider in there? That might make its contents come closer to being worth that hidious price tag.

I think the inclusion of all the special characters is what drove up the price. Personally I would rather have another squad of Marines.

Well we do now know that the codex is 144 pages.

So, not bad it all, but I'll probably give it a miss, it just contains too much I'll never use, the inclusion of a tactical squad would have made it more appealing to be honest, but thats just my opinion]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/348723.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215877/348723.page GMT Re:SM Spearhead available for pre-order HQ characters.

On an unrelated matter, expect to see a lot of that Crimson Fist guy showing up on eBay. Seriously... an Imperial Fist model in a box with 3 Ultramarine characters. I mean, I know it's a spearhead, but a little thought perhaps.

I actually want everything in that box besides him, and I would avoid buying it because I don't want him (and because the price is INSANE).
