CallidusLupinus Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 People have been waiting . . . http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1560027 I read through the description and thought, those jerks, showing all that stuff around a drop pod. Then I reread it, and that's a GW plastic drop pod included in the set. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143311-look-to-the-skies/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf89 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yea, this was posted in the new release section (or whatever it's called) and there's a bunch of mixed feelings about it... if it didn't include the codex I wouldn't be soo tempted to buy it, but as others have said, it's such a terrible deal because it's not meant to reduce any price for buying bulk. I'd rather wait and buy what I need separately, because I'm not using any of those HQs, most likely not the thunderfire cannon thing, hell I think the only things I need/want is the drop pod and the codex. :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143311-look-to-the-skies/#findComment-1659956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Wolf Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I agree, the only thing I'd want it for is the Thunderfire cannon (Maybe) and the drop pods - which I need 5 to 6 of... Speaking of which: the drop pod kit - does it come with the option of making it Dred capable or will that will be a different model entirely do you think?

Speaking of which: the drop pod kit - does it come with the option of making it Dred capable or will that will be a different model entirely do you think? My guess would be (GW is a company that needs to be efficient) that GW will use one kit, and the sizes will be the same, only difference is there's a center piece that differs from the two. If GW made 2 separate kits for normal and dreads, they'd loose so much money from 2 different molds. :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143311-look-to-the-skies/#findComment-1659981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I didn't think the marine pod could hold a standing Dred. They've already re-configured the interior so 10 marines can be placed inside. Doesn't the Dred DP have three Fins/Doors?

Max_Dammit Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The FW one does, but this does not make it law As for GW plastic pods, yeah old news, just like the plastic thunderhawk there making Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143311-look-to-the-skies/#findComment-1660312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denkal Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The Drop Pod rules say it can hold up to 10 marines, 5 terminators, or a Dred. So no one can call you on that. Just leave off the interior marine harnesses, and just say the dred shimmies its way out. But I don't see converting the new DP to the three-doored Dreadnought variant a hassle. Also, I recall seeing pictures where the pod has a missile launcher underslung, right above where the marines stay. Not quite big enough to warrant a Deathwind label, but it looked like the Missile Launcher may be a replacement option to the standard Storm Bolter. Which, at BS2, and 5th edition, means primarily Frag Missiles.
