Ah-a-nothepsis Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Perhaps you've seen this. Not sure if the rumor i mentioned is posted up on your previous thread, but I again here mention from my GW buddies in Memphis, that sets of sprues that are Legion specific will finally come! Chaos of course being the first sets, though i'm told Terminator and regular Space Marine sprues will be sold separately. Once the Chaos Legions sprues hit, the Legions/Chapters still dedicated to the throne of Terra shall follow. Chaos Space Marines will receive a boxed set, with ALL the needed option upgrades included for standard gear, and new sets for Berzerkers, Noise Marines, Plague Marines and Thousand Sons will follow with MUCH nicer sculpts. So basically, all the Legions will buy the same boxed set for the majority of their models, but to make them Legion specific, separate sprues will be sold which will include shoulder pads, heads, banners, few weapons, etc. Terminators will also get separate sprues made available to them to become Legion specific. Again, this is what i'm told... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnosaur93 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 sounds realistic, as that means you have to buy more stuff... i allways quite liked the BT and DA upgrade sets though ;) and the whole concepts of packs like that. as it means i can get just bits, not having to buy 10 models to get perhaps 5 specific items on one sprue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So... more upgrade sprues? Sounds pretty plausible. This is a rumour I'd be inclined to believe. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I am particularly interested in how the Tsons heads would be sculpted. Perhaps more like the artist who did the Chaos Child artwork (meh book, wonderful artist) I think he painted the Iron Snakes stuff too edit: This guy http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GThWm37hdl0/Tk4dKn8NaiI/AAAAAAAAAMw/EJPCRDWb1IM/s1600/Thousand_Sons_Marine_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yncarne Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So would that mean that FW would no longer sell their daemon-specific upgrade parts? I'm skeptical. Specific upgrade sprues goes against the box consolidation process GW has been pushing within the last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I think it's realistic that GW is probably making a few 5man CSM boxed sets, with tons of upgrades (as mentioned above in his "box consolidation" comment) 5man means we'd have to buy more. If there's one box everyone can use to make Thousand Sons, why make a seperate Thousand Sons box? Everyone would be buying the new product regardless of legion so they would get money anyways (instead of having boxes for a legion with rules that suck just sit on the shelf collecting dust). Seems smart. I see the FW options remaining. They've already got the molds, so I am sure they will keep doing business for a long time with stuff they have available now, even after the next chaos dex.

I've never seen that art...it's amazing! Best rubric marine I've seen. I wonder if they will release Ahriman, Khârn etc. in Finecast or in the new plastic mold blister packs. I'm hoping the latter because they've been amazing so far but assuming and dreading the former... "yay I just bought fine cast Ahriman...I'll just carefully snip his staff out...*snap*.... o_O /rage " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonny Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I should, by then, have enough thousand sons to last me a lifetime. At least of the power-armoured variant... Terminators sounds nice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I really hope that the above rumour is true, as I would become a true worshipper of Chaos very quickly (and my wallet would hate me) :tu: Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If this become true I will be very happy to see new spure = more bits for conversion!. Going to be a costly year/my hobby year with the rumour of Black Templars, Chaos & new ed of 40k :) IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
