DA 'upgrade pack' Makes three veterans but all it needs is another two legs? *NOTE* I thought that I would also mention that GW is selling the same pack on their website for $30 instead of $16. Just a heads-up for those DA players.

Now I know it could all be to do with the way the sprues are arranged and all that but it does seem a little strange to me. Opinions?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2305798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2305798.page GMT Re:Space Marines and their legs DA upgrade pack makes TEN marines

Edit: seems like they changed it.

yes they changed it. A month or so ago I got in on the end of the 2 sprues for $20 set. Glad I got them when I did. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2306041.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2306041.page GMT Space Marines and their legs

That's the point.

Legs are always the hardest things to get from Bitz sites because everyone ends up with spare torsos, heads, arms and so on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2306448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2306448.page GMT Space Marines and their legs tac squad box. Legs are the rarest, this is done intentionally, so that you get lots of variation and customization while still only getting the 5 models total.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2306498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2306498.page GMT Space Marines and their legs GW would not be able to call their models customizable if you had to use every set of torsos, legs and heads.

Maybe GW should sell a legs bitz pack? I am sure there would be a lot of people who would gladly buy them if they were a reasonable price. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307061.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307061.page GMT Space Marines and their legs
A pack of 5 legs for £8/£10 or a full set of space marine tactical marines coming to over £20.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307098.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307098.page GMT Space Marines and their legs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307101.page GMT Space Marines and their legs GW's loss, Cain.

I'm slow to defend GW, but they want a pack of 10 models to make ten models. By setting one model part as the limiting factor, then they maintain this, whilst giving us all the chance to keep a decent bit box.

If they put in enough parts for 12 models, it would be a 12 model set. We'd all club together online and swap parts.

That said, you can still eke more expensive models out of cheaper box sets. You can get 8 long fangs out of 1 devastator box if you use the parts from normal SWs. Similarly, with a bit of knife work, a box of lootas and a box of normal boyz, you can get five burnas and four lootas (and a few boyz left).

Similarly, the old metal models often needed plastic arms and legs. It's easy to update old minis with spare parts now, which is good for modellers and arguably doesn't hurt GW.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307209.page GMT Space Marines and their legs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307244.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307244.page GMT Space Marines and their legs

The DA Veterans Box has enough to create five marines(Sprue one and Sprue two), and also includes the special weapons sprue. While the Upgrade pack includes Sprue one and Sprue two. They used to sell the Upgrade pack with two of each sprue(no special weapons, but enough to make 10 marines) for the same price as the Veterans. This was a fairly recent change, as I ordered the Upgrade Pack at the end of November / Beginning of December, and got enough for 10 marines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307334.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307334.page GMT Space Marines and their legs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307440.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307440.page GMT Space Marines and their legs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307449.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338387/2307449.page GMT
