Rurik the blessed Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I was visiting the GW webpage, and noticed that some GK products like the Venerable Dreadnought and Storm Raven are no longer available in the catalog (those with the new box, but same product as SM), Even I noticed that the Paladin Squad box now has the same layout as the old terminator squad.... ... I don't know... it's weird... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302430-something-odd-about-the-gw-catalog/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reclusiarch Darius Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Why replicate boxes that no Grey Knight player buys, and which are functionally the same as the generic Marine ones anyway? I liked the extra gubbins and variant chassis for the Dreadnought, but honestly that ship had sailed when our new codex came out. Extra salt in the wound is in the codex itself, they have 'Eavy Metal painted Dreadnoughts with double twin-autocannons. As for Ravens, it's the same thing just different box art (even the original BA kit had a Grey Knight pilot option to replace the normal Tech-Marine). That's gonna make our box set options pretty thin then. Two infantry boxes that make everything (including all our non-character HQ's). Dreadknight box. The old metal hero models sold as limited stock (especially amusing is seeing how much they want for the old metal Justicar, now as a 'Brotherhood Champion', lel). Everything else is Marine box sets just painted our colours.

Quozzo Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The librarian isnt there either, not sure it it ever was tbh. I don't like how our librarian in TDA uses the standard chapter TDA and not the great looking GK Aegis TDA. If they gave us a new GK librarian model then it could also double as a rune priest too.

Frater Cornelius Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Probably saving costs. Why have two different packages for the same model. If GK were the more popular army and GWs poster boys, then the SM catalog would look rather empty indeed.

Yeah. I mean, would it kill them to give us some HQ models? I know they wanna milk the nostalgia factor of the old Brother-Captain and Justicar models, but it's pretty dumb we have to kitbash every single non-character hero we have. Marines got an alternate PA Librarian (not that he'll ever see time in the field, but he's cool). Not to mention you have to model up the nemesis weapon on your GK Libby yourself, its not in the generic TDA Libby kit.
