Kol Saresk Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Legion Invasion Force Legion Mk IV Strike Force Legion Mk III Strike Force Legion Mk II Strike Force Oh and for whatever reason, they are not on the New Stuffs page, they're on the Bundles page which can be found here. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Forge__World_Bundles And some Myrmidon Destructors since they're out too.

m_r_parker Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The interesting thing I can see here is that the individual Legion Strike Forces has a mix of "Legion" style armour, and "Regular" style armour. I'm guessing Forgeworld are selling much more of the Legion style packs than the regular ones, and are looking for a way to get rid of older stock that's sitting around in a warehouse somewhere. I bought the older style of Mark II - VI armour as part of the Badab War books (pre-HH), and the newer Legion packs were much better. The poses and detail were much better, and the design for the how the models were created was much improved (I remember the backpacks of the older Mark armours being horrendous to clean due to the location of the resin channels). Plus the Legion style had much more variation, as evident in the MkIV bundle - compare the two sets and you'll see the earlier one was very similar (two leg poses, everything else identical), and the latter Legion set has a lot more variation in all the armour pieces in style and pose. Give the packs are the same price, there's no reason why I wouldn't buy the Legion packs. Now the Legion Invasion force looks very good, no non-Legion sets of armour with a split between MkIII and MkIV (personal favourites), new command squad models and a little discount too. Just get some legion pads and away you go. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287294-new-forgeworld-bundles/#findComment-3604002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adra'Melek Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just looking at costs, the strike forces: 4x Marines - 4x £23 = £92 2x bolters - 2x £11 = £22 Command set - £25 Total £139 (save £14) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287294-new-forgeworld-bundles/#findComment-3604007 Share on other sites More sharing options...

infyrana Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nicely put together forces I think, only spoilt for me by the lack of command kits on the strike forces. At least I cannot see anything that wouldn't be used, no sub-par weapon mixes of random special weapons that are never used! That in itself is a great thing. The Invasion force simply needs your choice of two packs of heavy weapons for a nice finish.

Adra'Melek Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think he means the command upgrade sets (vox, Vexilla, etc) rather than the two command models.

deathspectersgt7 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Figured out the cost in Dollars for the Strike force and you get get a savings of 22.30 I almost passed out.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Forget the heresy, these actually look like a good way for anyone starting marines of any kind to start, giving you the basics/core of a force in one dscounted bundle.If I didn't already have my Salamanders this would be very tempting, still is if I can find someone to split it with.GW Could learn alot from FW.

Adra'Melek Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 FYI the invasion force 12x Marine sets - 12x £23 = £276 6x sets of bolters - 6x £11 = £66 2x command (std and centurion) - 2x £25 = £50 2x command upgrade sets - 2x £9 = £18 Praetor set - £30.50 Apothecaries - £20.50 Total - £451 (saving £61) I think.

Excubitor Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hmm, I wonder if FW would switch command armour mks if you asked? The command I want is the mk.II, with mk.III troops...

Phoros Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I was tempted, but then I remembered that I don't know if I want two squads of bolter marines, and I definitely don't want more than that. And since I want an equal mix of MkII and MkV... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287294-new-forgeworld-bundles/#findComment-3605134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adra'Melek Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Remember the 'bolter marines' are used for special weapons and some heavy weapons. Even needing to buy more weapons might work out cheaper NB (my cat has just developed a resin habit of her own. Just tried chewing on a chainsword and then to remove a marine's head).

Russ Brother 92 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 If it wasn't for my burgeoning airsoft hobby I would jump on that Invasion Force like a mouse in willy wonka's chocolate factory... They look great and with the big one hitting a saving of £60+ AND free shipping (got to be worth another £30-40) means it's likely about 1/3rd off!! :O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287294-new-forgeworld-bundles/#findComment-3605580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hopefully we'll see more of this kind of thing. Makes you wonder at what point people in GW central take a look at what FW are doing and stop scratching their heads at FW outstripping them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287294-new-forgeworld-bundles/#findComment-3605640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Maybe just Maybe they are not selling enough. GW is they own FW how can they out strip themselves?

Excessus Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think I'll grab a Mk IV bundle...I think... ...is it just me that thinks that if FW would sell plastic instead of resin they would be the worlds best selling miniatures company? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287294-new-forgeworld-bundles/#findComment-3605673 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cactus Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I just wish they'd throw in some chainaxes instead of all those power weapons. Maybe I'll send them an email and suggest a World Eaters bundle.

infyrana Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Power weapons ... ? Did you come to this post late, with talk about the earlier bundles that were removed or something ? I see tactical bolter troops, but no power weapons except on the fixed command models.

Cactus Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Actually I'm talking about the assault squad bundles, which I've just realised are not *new* bundles referred to in the OP.
