chaplainmikey Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Can't wait for the release of those new Terminators, they look pretty good from the pics on the painting guide. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Got myself the standard codex, a blood angels tactical squad, the datacards and the sanguinary priest quite happy with my pre order, can't wait to read our new codex This is what I ordered myself through my local store.

Charlo Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Will probably pick up the new Priest when I've painted some other models. I do like that the head is separate though, he will be getting a knight helm for sure from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm pre-ordering the data cards because they're limited. The codex and the sanguinary priest I'm going to ask my FLGS to get for me. The tac squad is going to have to wait a month or two until I've got more cash, but I'm not in an enormous hurry there, so whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahouth Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Priest is to expensive IMO. Not to mention that I feel somehow underwhelmend by the lack of new models (and no I don't count the tacticals). I expected some new resculpts for Meph Corbulo or Dante. Corbulo now looks like the new Priest's Squire. golly gee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Cards ordered. Will get the Codex later. Also, there's a tiny amount of Space Hulk boxes available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 So, preorders are up Anybody else notice that all available models on that page, including the new Tactical Squad, Death Company, Sanguinary Guard, and the Sanguinary Priest are all supplied with 32mm bases, regardless of whether they're equipped with Jump Packs? Who was around here that was saying that was going to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbulo now looks like the new Priest's Squire. It's funny, this is the only stupidly priced character model that I am actually going to buy. Hands down one of my favorite models GW has ever made. That being said, it's really weird how GW will let some older models fester for upwards of 20 years while making new ones no one asked for!

Theredknight Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have been waiting for this day for a year!!!!!! Ordered cards and book, if special edition was £65 I'd probably get. But £100 is just to much..considering iv painted majority of my blangels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 The Angel-Dracula collar on the Priest makes me giggle :lol: With a price like that, I'd just stick with kit bashing. Even though that sword is damn cool. I was wondering why the Sanguinary Guard and Death Company were now "Pre-Order." Didn't notice the bases :P Also, it just so happens that I'm going to re-learn how to paint red for a model I'm gifting as an XMas present. Whatever will I do with that new skill...assuming I master it, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it's really weird how GW will let some older models fester for upwards of 20 years while making new ones no one asked for! It's not so weird, GW logic says that most people who are going to buy, say, a Mephiston model have already done so. Thus it makes more sense (to them) to produce something new to tempt money from people. If tthe old sculpt, that paid for its production cost years ago, in an inferior material and for higher price keeps selling in the meantime, then so much the better for their bottom line. I think it's also pretty clear that their target market these days is not 'little Timmy' but the veteran who can't break his plastic crack addiction and that vet probably does already own Mephiston and thus is more likely to buy a snazzy looking new priest (especially if Sanguinary High Priests are back) than a resculpt. Of course there are plenty of people who would love a new Mephiston who already own the old one but shhhhhh, group think doesn't allow for such anomalies. It's not a good explanation, but then when did GW not do strange things that seem designed to avoid both maximising their revenue and placating customers?

Zynk Kaladin Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 $30 for one non-LoW model? Are they high? I might buy the chainsword separately on ebay when the time comes. Looking forward to picking up my 'dex and that tac squad. The sergeant's power sword is just plain gorgeous. Can't wait to see what other new stuff they have for us. What a time to be alive.

sockwithaticket Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looking more at the clearly new terminators in the painting guide picture I'm not sure I'm a fan of giving almost all of them a back adornment that looks like an Iron Halo, especially when they're just cut and pasted from Space Hulk. Seems to be an assault terminator box. There's a squad of Tactical terminators in the mid-ground, but they don't seem to have any of the armourial flourishes that the ones to the fore do.

Inquisitor Eisenhorn Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I've been looking at the tactical box sprues, and I'm pretty pleased. So it does have both a heavy flamer and a heavy bolter, 16 heads (3 bare) 1 combi-weapon, power fist, chain sword, power sword, and an assortment of pistols of all kinds. Super excited for this one.

That claw sarge and our new character are both copies of space hulk models. I am not complaining mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hm... more information on a successor... I'm now kind of worried that the fluff will be pulled out from under my Knights of Blood... what if GW finally comes down and says that they're truly fallen? I don't like being anxious about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 On the black library preview it says they walk a stranger path (with the Lamenters) so I think they're still okay for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockwithaticket Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It's interesting that with a website refit they still haven't managed to fix that. If anything it's been taking me further and further afield. With the old site it would keep sending me to the US store despite being a Brit. These days my location can change to anywhere in the EU it seems. Earlier it was Finland, a place I have never, much to my chagrin, so much as set foot.

Zynk Kaladin Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It's a really scary feeling seeing the prices so high all of a sudden. I almost died when it first happened to me! I'd love for the cost of terminators to come down. I just can't field them in good conscience despite the beautiful space hulk knockoffs we're getting. Furious charge is nice for charging out of an assault vehicle. Perhaps assault terminators with a mix of thunder hammers and lightning claws may be worth it? Either way I like sanguinary guard more. Cant wait to make those models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
