kornomaniac Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hello all ! Just got back my my Local Gaming Club. Our Battle force is Confirmed ! =) Contents: 10 Tacticals 5 Death Company 5 Assault Marines 1 Rhino Price like all Battle forces. Not too happy with the Tacticals... but.... With those Death company sprue and Assault sprue you do have enough bolt pistols / chainswords /etc.. to convert them all to assault marines =D Or what I'm gonna do... buy the 5 metal Meltagun sprue from Gw. Make 5 meltagunners out of the tacs and those other 5 tacs will be converted to to Assault marines with extra bits from the death comp sprue. Woop Woop :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharing Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I am attempting to make the 3rd and 8th companies so this will be awesome. Will be able to make a squad of tacs and a RAS and have a rhino to boot. just need a razorback sprue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 sounds nice :) kind of what i was expecting. and...just to play devils advocate but: just by WHO was this confirmed? not to steal your spotlight by GW staffers have the horrible tendancy to yell "omgz! i know whats coming in x box! its y unit(s)" where as its actually more of a wish list... <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 I got a look at the official Gw PDf pre-order-information thingy the Staff from the Local store got :) also including posters wich are already up in our storE. also got the pricing on the kits ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leksington Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Contents: 10 Tacticals 5 Death Company 5 Assault Marines 1 Rhino Price like all Battle forces. Not to sound like a grinch (because it is still a good value) but... Doesn't that seem a little light versus a SM Battle Force? 10 Tacs 5 Combat 5 Scout 5 Assault 1 Rhino 5 DC ($33) versus 5 Scout + 5 Combat ($45) Are they making up the difference with BA Shoulder Pads?

Malatox Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Gosh Darn It!... And there's me realising if I had waited a month or two I wouldve saved some money here :D. Darn GW and thier wicked ways B) :L Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Putting Rhinos in a battleforce is like spitting in pple's faces. Why do that? You are forcing people getting into the game to go out and buy a whole new tank in the future if they want to run a Razorback. It's very cynical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Plus the Razorback can be easily switched out between Rhino and Razorback at any given moment in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vharing Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 you can get t bitz to make the turret pretty cheap off the internet, or fab up you own. the FW converstion kit is pretty nice looking if you have the cash for it. if they include a rhino sprue it has the razorback top plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yncarne Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 While I have the bits to turn the tacticals into a transported assault squad, I wish I could buy some Apocalypse level box of 50 guys with jump packs or 25 guys with packs and some speeders.

TheHarrower Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Old news brother. This was confirmed months ago. Did you get prices on the Dread or the Stormraven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I was hoping it would have a Stormraven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBaals Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I was hoping it would have a Stormraven. LOL as far as the Battleforce contents... meh says the man with 6000 points of BA already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainLNH Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Has anyone else noticed that the Furioso Dreadnought kit (metal), disapeared from Games Workshop .com a few minutes ago? Means that the new stuff will go on advance order tomorow. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharing Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 GW is really spotty with how they take stuff off their site. Sometimes they take it off months before and other times a day before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to get rid of the excess stock of rhinos I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Battleforce = 80 € Of course Dread = 35 € Stormraven = 52 € do your euro to pound conversion yourself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 for confirmation on the battleforce :here and this article mentions how they envision it to be used linky and for pricing: stormraven furioso -edit- see its already been posted, just confirming it from the GW website ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leksington Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The Grinch returneth! $12.50 less value than the SM battleforce, and $10 more expensive! That's something of a slap in the face. While it is a $33 dollar saving, I would need to convert the Tacs to RAS to make them useful to me. It really starts toeing the line of whether or not I save anything.

Maalis Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well you could make the tacticals to be DC with bolters.. I've heard they can be effective that way too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 or turn the DC into jump packers, voila! 10 assault marines. you can go either way tbh B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
