RedemptionNL Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I think BA are about to be spoiled for choice in the amount of units we can choose. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333154-8th-edition-ba/page/37/#findComment-4751025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Can't say I'm interested in the starter set tbh. Seeing as you are one of our most positive influences in this sub-forum may I ask why? I and leaning towards disinterest, simply because the army is 100% Primaris Marines. Which makes me feel discouraged since I'm stillnassembling plastics in which some cases are less than 2 years old. Does that have anything to do with it? Or is it simply the models themselves? I'm just curious, I'm not asking you to justify your comment, merely curious if our viewpoints are aligned or if it's just me.

Jolemai Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Mainly because I don't want the models :) The book and gubbins are of interest but I can probably get the former elsewhere and do without the latter. We don't know what we can and can't use in our army wrt the Primaris and as I don't want, need, or have time for another army the jury is out there. Meanwhile my backlog is still at around 3k BA alone... DG I've no interest in and whilst it's true I could swap them or the sell them on, swapping is hindered due to the previous paragraph, and selling is an unknown seeing as eBay, etc, will be flooded with them meaning I may not recoup much. Which brings me on to my next point: I'm broke and even with buying from a third party it may be too much of an outlay... Especially when I've got some Daemons coming in (ordered for seventh edition but now summoning looks a right baal-ache)...

Spagunk Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Those gun shields would have to go. Makes zero sense to me. Having said that, I'm hoping to get myself a box. The DG would either be sold or traded but I want the rest. Alas, I think this one is going to be above the 200 dollar mark so I may have to settle for someone's marine half and get my own rulebook. Hell, probably should just get an index and leave it at that.

I like the DG and have some knocking about from 4th, pop in Mortarion and some other support units and I'd have a decent army ready to go!

Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I really want a better side by side comparison. I have no current plans to buy any more 40k until my back log is down. Or I can sell some of the excess I have. Only time will tell if the plasti-crack will itch it's way into my psyche.

I (and expect most other people) will be seeing what works/doesn't work, dusting off old models and adding/removing weapons before even contemplating buying the new stuff.

sebs_evo7 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I don't mind the jump pack guys, i hope there is an option to have a chainsword. Do you guys think this will be all snap fit? I'm on the fence with the starter, i was hoping for actual marines and some primaris not just primaris, i would probably end up selling it all and just keeping the jump pack guys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333154-8th-edition-ba/page/37/#findComment-4751248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Already confirmed snap fit. Also already confirmed mini-heavy bolters. My initial reaction was flying Centurions.

sebs_evo7 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Reckon they are classed as pistols? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333154-8th-edition-ba/page/37/#findComment-4751310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Reckon they are classed as pistols? They're called "twin assault bolters" so I'd guess no. I'm assuming a single profile for both weapons, half the range but twice the shots of the intercessor bolt rifle. rapid fire 2, jet pack makes them faster. And my goodness they look good in red and yellow. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333154-8th-edition-ba/page/37/#findComment-4751330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkangilos Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 To me this confirms that they won't be phasing out space marines. The three man squad and very limited options (based on what we've seen) leads me to believe they are telling the truth when they say space marines aren't being replaced.

Jolemai Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Reports coming in that this will knock us back £95 even if I order it from Darksphere (£71.25 excluding postage) I still doubt I'll recoup enough from the DG to make the outlay worth it...

Xenith Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 £95 Might be a pass, despite the lovely models. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333154-8th-edition-ba/page/37/#findComment-4751406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
