happyslugger Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Which models are the plague marine champion and icon bearer? The champion is the guy with nurgling wearing a helmet. Ah OK thanks, not sure I will spend £15 on the model unless it comes with another head option as I really do not like the one in the codex. I also wont bother with the guy carrying the icon of despair. I will however pick up one of each of the other characters and one of each of the new releases. I've been saving for a while lol.

Mack Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I'm a little disappointed that options for a champion or standard bearer aren't in the PM box itself, but it doesn't necessarily surprise me knowing GW's pricing strategies. But like a sucker, take my money cause I'm addicted to the new death crack.

But like a sucker, take my money cause I'm addicted to the new death crack. The options for both are in the box as far as I am aware, they just seem to be offering a more fancy version of each as extra sculpts, I assume because they liked the extra models the artist created and decided to sell them too. I am personally happy, as the more variety the better as I am not much of a converter.

SkimaskMohawk Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 7 is such an unacceptable number. Either do squads of 5 with 1 of each special weapon to push the idea that you're supposed to get two boxes, or do the box of 10 with everything you need for the unit like the rubrics got. 7 is a really terrible number; two boxes to get a squad of ten gives you four left over guys, who can't even form a minimum sized squad; three boxes for 20 gives you one left over guy. I thought we'd left this silliness behind with the eldar metal aspect warriors; I guess the rubrics should be repackaged to only have 9 guys now and any impending beserkers and noise Marines will be in boxes of 8 and 6 respectively, regardless of unit size Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339493-death-guard-release-schedule-and-missing-kits/page/2/#findComment-4896031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
