knife&fork Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Best 2980 pt army ever.... or was that with Lemartes included? My bad, no jump packs, so that's only 2400 pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHelion Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 While a new Libby is nice, Mephistons model is from 2nd edition I believe. And Corbulos model is from 3rd or 4th, not sure on that. While a new priest and Libby are nice, there are other models in desperate need of attention. Corbulo, Mephiston and Dante all are from 2nd Ed. Some of the finest sculpts from that end of 2nd, in my opinion, but definitely showing their age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bis5523 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 So when does the new codex actually come out? I know I pre-ordered mine from a private gaming store and the owner said it will most likely be here Wednesday or Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simison Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Wednesday would be perfect for me. That's the gaming day around here. *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindhamster Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 in the UK, they get deliveries thursday evenings generally I believe. on a somewhat related note, do we know what else is due for release? we've had: Deathstorm Codex limited ed codex dice cards tacticals priest we still have the following to come: terminator set librarian in terminator armour any ideas if there are more things rumoured to be arriving, and what the cost for the librarian may be? if you've bought one of everything so far, total cost is between 165 and 235 depending on which version of the codex you got terminators are likely to be 35, i'd guess the librarian will be about 20, so the cost is then between 220 and 270!! Lot of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morticon Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I say with what we've seen having been shown, unless there's a third week of releases....its unlikely we're getting anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 probably for the best! I've purchased it all so far, but i am supposed to give the total cost to my wife before she wraps most of it (minus codex... i bought codex myself so i could have it now rather than waiting for december/january) Totaling everything I don't think she'll be over happy as is :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Tomorrow I'll be leaving my pre-order for the codex with the LGS.. Really can't justify buying any models when I already have such a :cusston of a backlog to burn through. Maybe after my current projects (Captain, Bikes, Baal Predator) are done, and I start the next batch of projects, I'll order the tac or new terminator squad to add to my backlog..

TheHarrower Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I say with what we've seen having been shown, unless there's a third week of releases....its unlikely we're getting anything else. I think there is at least one more kit in there. Even looking at all the pics that were released there were a lot of units missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I think this is a big miss for GW. They could have made a new Mephiston for £20 and they would have sold a TON of them. Instead they have Terminators and Tacticals which we dont need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Not exactly rumor related, but I had to repost. Some dude on Dakka posted asking if 30 Death Company with dual Thunder Hammers was still a viable unit. More amazingly, he posted a pic.

I was thinking about this he should have went with Lightning Claws and Thunderhammers. It would have saved 450 points, kept the additional attack, and went at Initiative vs. 3+ models rerolling wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what if he runs into a bunch of nasty eldar with that annoying 'disamring strike' upgrade? Gotta plan ahead mate, this is a serious build. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they have Terminators and Tacticals which we dont need. Eh... not sure I agree. I mean, I'm not saying that a new Mephiston wouldn't have sold well, also, but... I mean I am going to buy both of the new boxes. Even if I don't want a whole new tac squad, I can use more heavy weapons, special weapons, and sergeants as alternates for my existing squads (ie. I'm going to build the ten models with a heavy flamer, a heavy bolter, a flamer, a plasma gun, a grav gun, a meltagun, and a sergeant with a grav pistol and a power weapon (though I'll need to wait for the codex to decide if he gets painted up as a tactical sergeant or an assault-on-fooot sergeant). Probably, I'll use the last three legs to get a jump start on the one unit I need but don't have: death company on foot. And the terminators? Well, if this banner thing means that we now have terminator honor guard, I'll probably build them as that, especially if that unit has unique options, or a unique mix of gear. If the banner is an upgrade for an ordinary terminator squad (or the terminator honor guard's options are such that I'm likely to just use my existing terminator models), then I could still use a terminator holding said banner, and I'll want another terminator body to build as a terminator priest (which I don't have yet), and the remaining three terminators I could build as clawminators (I'm not as big a fan as I am of hammernators, but...) or alternate tac guys (I could use a cyclonic dude, on the off change that I ever want to field him). I think it's less a matter of these boxes being mistakes, and they should have done something else instead, and more a matter of missed opportunity to do another couple of things, which would have sold well.

SamaNagol Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 We don't need tacs or Terminators. They are just vanity purchases more than functional. Terminator Honour Guard barring some godly Relic Banner are going to suck as well. I am just very disappointed there's no SC resculpt as it stands. That's very poor.

Blindhamster Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 to be honest, I am pretty happy with the release in terms of models, it covers things we don't already have pretty nicely. I think the only product i'd have been happy to see (in addition to what we got) would be a generic assault squad, but for blood angels, the death company kit makes pretty nice assault marines, and the vanguard can be made to look less veteran like without too much difficulty as well. character sculpts bother me less because I generally prefer to kitbash and sculpt my own, chances are, anything GW release I'd chop up and change anyways.

Lucien Eilam Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 We don't need tacs or Terminators. They are just vanity purchases more than functional. Less so than a new Mephiston would be. At least they add new options. There's no Tactical heavy flamer currently available, or Terminator standard bearer. A resculpted special character would have added nothing at all.

SamaNagol Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 It's the Sternguard weapons on a Tactical sprue. With DC parts with the Saltires filled in. Meh, I dunno. Aside from the Priest which is a beautiful sculpt, the releases are tremendously lacklustre for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
