Well it's release day for the Death Company box. Hope everyone that ordered gets theirs today if it hasn't already come.

I know mine is out for dispatch, so hopefully mine turns up today.

 

It's got me thinking about when the rest of the release will go on preorder. I hope we don't have to wait too long as I really want to get my hands on the new Captain.

 

I'm also interested to see if we get a new dice set and if we get any Made to Order item's come up. I could see the Lieutenant Tolmeron possibly being added to this as it's a shame we can no longer get it.

 

I would also love to see a new transfer sheet that I expect will come with the new Combat Patrol and hope that there are some interesting transfers on there.

Today I started building Astorath on my lunch break at work, got all the parts off sprue and mould lines removed, and then found I'd picked up an empty bottle of glue I'd meant to throw away instead of the full one! 

 

But on the plus side the weather allowed me to actually get some spraying done yesterday, so can start adding some paint to my first units for the new BA collection: Assault Intercessors and Dante.

 

That and the important work of setting my Assault Marine up as a Blood Angel in Space Marine 2.

What a weird time. Here we are with the new codex. App isn't updated and points are all over the place. 

I've started to build the box. Lemartes and Astorath are done. Now I'm onto the jump DCs. It's weird, that even the pouches and grenades have fixed places. At least they are optional and the model itself has no pegs or holes if you leave them off. 

Also I got to the point where I asked myself again if the ten of them keep their three fists. There are only 2 on the sprues. The only way I can explain this is that you also could give them a power weapon instead of the third fist and GW didn't want to complicate the matter even more.

I forgot to post newly painted models before I went on vacation for a couple weeks. I'm here to correct that mistake:

And the full squad...

This forum is messing with my color saturation again so things are more red than they are in actuality.

So, pre orders go up next week, they're clever though as they didn't include the combat patrol in the initial release, isn't the combat patrol normally a staple of those releases?

article:

So its:

sanguinor

captain

priest

astorath

lemartes

sanguinary guard

upgrade sprue (with actual transfers for blood angels, rather than death company themed ones)

dice

codex

limited ed codex

 

 

Edit:

Realistically, I'll get a captain, priest and sanguinor. I may just go ahead and get sanguinary guard whilst I'm at it and skip the combat patrol, whilst that set gives a solid saving I should think, I really dont need more assault intercessors and I also don't need another upgrade sprue for now, probably.

Yeah, I think the Combat Patrol box was missed off for now because they want to push the separate Sanguinary Guard sales. They want people to pay full price for them, so are banking on people not wanting to wait for the Combat Patrol box. After all, if you purchase the Combat Patrol box, most people probably wouldn't ever need to buy the Sanguinary Guard separately.

 

I'm happy to wait as I want 6 Sanguinary Guard and the Captain, so makes sense for me. I can probably fit some more Assault Intersessors in somewhere. Also I think the Combat Patrol box will come with two upgrade sprues which I need more of for some of the pads and will contain the new transfer sheet.

I was thinking to get the combat patrol because i want the captain and 6 guard too which does equate to the same price as buying the combat patrol I guess. Depends on third party sites and discounts therein maybe. I think I can afford to hold off, broadly speaking anyway. I have a lot of WIP builds, let alone paint jobs currently. lol

 

The good thing about this going up on preorder is that it means we should get the revised points costs for units. I feel that 50ppm for Sanguinary Guard is too much,  even with the buffs they received.

I think historically they're a few days before the actual release, so I'm expecting sometime next week. Probably Wednesday or Thursday I would imagine.

 

I think I'll get the Sanguinor, Dice (of course I need more) and an upgrade sprue for the decals. I'll wait for the combat patrol to get sang guard and the captain. Still busy building the DC box, so no need to rush things. 

 

Yep if the Combat Patrol isn't actually coming out with this wave, it'll be a Sanguinor and some dice for me as well.

 

The new Sang Priest is a good looking model, but the old one is better looking and more flavorful. I don't need another apothecary.

Same here, but I really like one of the heads of the new priest. You know the one with the hair and that look :wub:

That will be a good model to get as a present.
