Leonis Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Everyone loves the mini rulebook. It sells boxes. Everyone I know wants one to carry in a pocket to games. If they don't put one in then they're missing a trick and it will cost them sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The Chaos stuff sounds kind of disappointing unless of course they look cool which might make up for it whilst I only play chaos I am highly tempted to get the Dark Angels and convert them into chaos especially if the models are pretty awesome, looks like my bank account will suffer once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Wade Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm actually quite excited with Chaos Lord PA model, I have a TDA lord, but always wanted cool PA model. I really hope Lord's model is something like we've seen in first Dawn of War game. Slightly dissapointed with this new walker though, maybe it'll be a MC? And it's strange, that DA get 3 HQ while Chaos gets one, so I hope it's not a chaplain, but a Dark Apostle :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm not going to buy that box for the balanced game, that's for sure. I'm buying it for the models and mini-rulebook! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Mk.231 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Depending on the price and how nice the models are, my housemate and I will either split a box between us or get two and I'll get all the Chaos and he'll get all the Dangels. If there's no miny rulebook however, there's not much point buying the second box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Ravensong Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 A wonderous big box to supplement my deathguard? GW! You shouldn't have! A whole host of CSM and some fallen to go with them? Aww... you're too good to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fediuld Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 via Mad Meki was in my local GW for the 1st time in a while when the staff tried selling me a 6th ed rule book i said i was going to wait for the starter set for the mini copy, i was then told by this staff the starter set will not have the full rule set but a basic rule set and you still need to buy the big rule book no matter weather you get the starter or not If this turns out to be true, why even bother buying the starter set? If GW manages to pull something like that then it is worth to look elsewhere for another game. On the other hand, local shop staff are trying to make sales. So I have heard many crap over the years from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornywingythingy Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The rumours of no mini rulebook have already been countered on faeit 212 by senior managers saying it is b.s. Just a bad redshirt trying to sell more brb. I'm excited by more cultists, the rest is meh, but I have already agreed to split two boxes with a da player in my club.

Bearingtheword Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The cultists excite me, I already spent the past 3 days putting together 20 custom ones made from FW renegade enforcer torsos, High elf legs and various weapon bits to represent "auto-guns" lol, another 20 will be awesome...the Hellbrute intrigues me... the chosen I can find use for somehow...and the DA give me an excuse to start building another Army, lol.... I will say I am kinda excited about the possibility of the Interrogator-chaplain actually being a Dark Apostle but if it's not I'm not worried. They just better release the new Chaos and DA codices hot on the heels of the starter set..... ~BtW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonis Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah that's a relief. Although now I do kind of want to slap a red shirt. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IraSummers Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Any official word about when though? I really hope the Chaplin is actually a Dark Apostle or easily converted into one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looking at the box contents, it looks like a horribly onesided fist fight in favor of the loyalists, but maybe Chaos will have rules that will get them in danger close? Maybe the Brute thing will be interesting, maybe the thing only look like a melta gun, but is something like a melta cannon (blast/flamer template?) I really, really want to have a fun army to play. So long as it's fun to play, and I don't feel like I'm getting screwed by my own army's rules I'm fine. I really, really want to have an army I can like the fluff on. More I think about it, more I want an Iron Warrior army-but I'm not big on hazard stripes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fediuld Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 If someone takes the rumored contents of the box, yes it is one sided if you try to play them. The mission probably will balance things out. However I doubt anyone will get it for the mission. Consider this. We gonna have a box, that we can make a small chaos force out of it by using everything in it. Plus come conversions. I hope all those DA have robes. They gonna make good Thousand Sons and The Fallen conversions. As for the Fallen, charcoal or very dark grey robes, dark forest green armour and red chaos marks, going to make them look very cool. (yes the 'Unknown' chapter in the CSM codex is The Fallen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yes the 'Unknown' chapter in the CSM codex is The Fallen) As per usual, it'll be unfavorably balanced towards the "good guys" to appease the masses. They'll be your models so you can of course do what you want, but the Fallen separated themselves from the Dark Angels before their armor was painted green, thus their armor would be black.

The Colossus Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Would be cool if there were two versions of the limited ed box, one for dark angels with the Chappy and one for Chaos with a Dark Apostle. Eh a guy can dream right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Any official word about when though? According to Warseer's StickMonkey: Stickmonkey: Starter Sets up for Pre-order August 25th. Released September 1st. Which means there should be photos of everything posted sometime around August 21st-22nd. Don't they usually drop it around Gamesday?
