BOBMAKENZIE Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 In canada at least you get a free rhino basically. Not a terrible deal really. I would have liked to see 2 Death Company boxes over 1 and an assault. But So be it. The storm raven's cost isnt surprising but still depressing. The dreadnought is the only thing in the release that Im really very interested in.

jsutter Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think the Stormraven would look better if the top gunner and other various bits were cut off and it was patched flat. It just looks too tall for me. I guess it would be a simple fix if I ever buy one.

lhg033 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 i'd have preferred the battel force to have more assault marines, death company or some sanguinary guard instead of the rhino and/or tacticals. love the furioso storm raven looks a little short length ways to me for some reason but still a nice model - agree with jsutter about the height with the top turret etc though - this might help with the length thing for me if altered Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219941-advance-order-is-up/#findComment-2624429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I love the dread, and that is the model I'm most likely to buy in this. But considering I already have a librarian dread, 1 Furioso, 1 DC dread and 1 shooty dread that don't see play (and 3 of them are still WIP for paint) I'll probably pass on adding yet another dread to my collection.

Brother Captain Kezef Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I can just about live with £41, would be nice to finaly stop using Valkries as proxy. I've never liked the battleforces but i suppose to get a new player into the game the provide a flexible start to the hobby. The dreads are just full of win. I think half of Feb's pay will be going from my account to GW very quickly.

Ebsolom Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 At last!!! The Stormraven has arrived ;) . I currently have 2x DC, 1x Furioso and 1x Libby dread along with 2/3 ebay rescue dreads which have been stripped. If I buy the Dread kit then I'm on my way to fielding an all dread army :wallbash: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219941-advance-order-is-up/#findComment-2624468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Biskit Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Has anyone else noticed that our Battleforce has 5 less models than any other Marine Battleforce yet costs £8.50 extra ;) .

Brother Captain Kezef Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think it's because of the JP. GW seems to think that a JP is worththe same price as a model.

Demoulius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 dc costs 26 euros, assault marines 25. DC can make both so tbh its an ok deal. player can decide for himself if he wants footsloggers or jumppackers.

Kurb Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Welp the battle force is useless to me. A SR and a Dread will be on the way tho. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219941-advance-order-is-up/#findComment-2624552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leksington Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 You have probably noticed, but it says released on Feb 5th. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219941-advance-order-is-up/#findComment-2624554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfey Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 @Leks - yeah mate, that's pretty standard for GW anyway - advance orders up 2-3 weeks before the in-store release date. It just means I have till the 5th Feb to clear my backlog of models and stock up on supplies ready for the undertaking that is my stormraven (and Libby dread).

Terrahawk Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Loving the Dread kit! :) I was planning on assembling a standard Furioso with Blood Talons for starters, but the DC Dread is looking so badass that I might end up using one of those bad boys instead. That means my DC are going to continue getting some proper play time. Oh well. B) The Raven is also looking pretty nice - not completely mind-blowing like the Dread - but pretty cool in it's own right. I'm sure I'll be getting one eventually for my DC + Chaplain + DC Dread in black coupled with red crosses. Can't wait to see the heretics crapping their pants.

bloodancient Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I don't know if I'm going to order 2 or 3 SR and atleast one dread (like i need another one). But they do look better then I imagined. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219941-advance-order-is-up/#findComment-2624658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'll likely end up picking up the battle force, I'm doing 3rd company and that requires 6 tactical squads *shrugs* It's not such a bad deal. I'll be returning my unopened warhammer tower and paying the £1 difference for a stormraven. No doubt I'll pick up a second SR and a Dread as well eventually Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219941-advance-order-is-up/#findComment-2624660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Is the thing on the DC dread's head the magna-grapple? ...I'll buy a few dreads just for the arms, but the front chassis are really just ok; I think it wouldn't be too difficult to homebrew better ones.

Volcatus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The Battleforce could be interesting, actually. Turn the Tac squad into a full Dev squad (probably use 3 HK missiles to kit them out), and get some bits to turn the Rhino into a Razorback. Combine the Assault squad with the DC box to make a full 10 man RAS, and you're set. The Raven has grown on me. I'm finally hearing the howl of the turbines as they come into an LZ.
