skink Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I got super excited when I read 'DA commander' so failed to read the rest of the post, assuming it was a new plastic. It's actually the art from our current codex of the librarian mind-zapping a Chaos punk. August 25th is the drop date for White Dwarf though; maybe we only have a month to wait?! I have down-graded my excitement from super to pretty darn.

Isiah Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 From Faeit: http://natfka.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/on-ho...-schedules.html Please remember that these are rumors, and should always be taken with a grain of salt. via "to remain an anonymous source" Chaos Space Marine codex is currently done are ready to be released in all regions. The starter set is set for September and that date is currently locked. There could be a codex release at the time of the starter set or just before it. This is still up in the air and not locked in yet Bold bits mine. and this showing images: http://natfka.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/pics-...s-releases.html The Libby pic comes from our 4th Edition Codex so is not new artwork per se.

Marshal Rohr Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 So what are Daemons? Are they getting a codex or just new units added in a white dwarf? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255110-angels-arise/page/3/#findComment-3131795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamwulf Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The starter box set advantage has always been a fantastic value. This is a "Gateway Product" to get new players into the game. It's not for the players that already have an army and play regularly. The value comes from the fact that you get a whole lot of mini's, usually some kind of terrain, measuring sticks, dice, templates, a pamphlet sized scenario book, and best of all IMHO is the pamphlet sized rulebook. All for a ridiculously low cost. The profit margin on this set has to be very slim indeed for GW. They count on hooking people though. For example, to make some kind of army with the contents of the starter set, you're going to need at least another box set of basic troops, and you're probably gonna want to add some vehicles, and... that's where GW will make up their money. My favorite part of the starter sets? The measuring sticks. I mean, the whips. They make it so I can whip/flog/lash my opponents any time I want to. Oh, and that annoying guy that always wonders up to the table and just starts picking up my mini's without asking...

Pbenner Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Oh, and that annoying guy that always wonders up to the table and just starts picking up my mini's without asking... This one is a personal pet peeve of mine, and to be totally honest, I have slapped more than one hand reaching for my models without asking. I have gotten in trouble over it, but I really don't want people touching my stuff!!

Alys Dwr Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Is there any precedence for releaseing a starter set and codex at the same time? Maybe one of the senior veteran members can let me know ;) It just seems that, from all the rumours, GW has got a huge pile of stuff 'ready' to be released and i'm wondering how they're going to cope with the backlog. Could it be that the next 6 months is packed with multiple releases each month? I doubt it. I'm starting to get far to skeptical about all the rumours.

bareserker Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Fret not brothers ! That artwork I would say guarantees the D.A. v Chaos starter set for Sept.

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I am excited, and I hope all the Tactical Marines are in robes, if they are, I will be building them as pre-Heresy Angels. should they not be, well, I will probably paint them as current and at least it means any future robed bodies can go onto the pre-heresy army :jaw: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255110-angels-arise/page/3/#findComment-3132126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Smart money's on them being the same models as in the most recent painting kit. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255110-angels-arise/page/3/#findComment-3132188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 yes, most likely. good thing I have a few DA marines unpainted who I can turn into pre-heresy then and use these as my last tactical squad :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255110-angels-arise/page/3/#findComment-3132203 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamwulf Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Smart money? :lol: The Smart Money is taking all the money you spend on little plastic and metal toy soldiers and putting it into an IRA or investing with it.

bareserker Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Argh but are you happy with IRAs....will it compare to the moment you open the box and see those awesome new commanders,those groovy new termies which are even better than the Hulk termies.............I think not !

Gillyfish Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I have been told that the sculpts in the painting kit are not the same as those in the box, although I'm not convinced. I guess we will see in the next White Dwarf. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255110-angels-arise/page/3/#findComment-3132544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetSgtNamaan Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I am looking forward to new Dark angels model so I will probably be buying the set no matter what. How ever I doubt that anything GW could make for Belial would come close to my conversion. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u144/TheSuperPerkyone/Hobby%20Pics/SAM_1462.jpg Of course I could just be incredibly biased :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255110-angels-arise/page/3/#findComment-3132939 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenebris Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I wonder if it is worthy to buy the Ravenwing battleforce before this one hits the shelves. Between bikes and the lanspeeder I hope I will hit 1000 points of DA.
