Upgrade Sprue one-off?

[Mmmmm Napalm]

Well given the announcement of the codex supplements, it's possible that the sprue will release alongside the IF supplement.

[Marshal Reinhard]

Honestly at this point my guess is the sprue is being redesigned due to the faulty thumb on the icon on the powerfist. Which, if its gonna coincide with a supplement release, explains why IF is not first out. 

 

Let's hope its not dead last either.

[Sete]

We all know it's dead last. Lol

[Dosjetka]

Nice positive thinking. Thanks for that, Sete.

 

In any case, given that the White Scars are confirmed to be receiving a Chapter upgrade pack with two sprues and two transfer sheets (for £15) I think it's safe to assume that we'll get the same at some point. :)

[Marshal Reinhard]

They've even spotted iron hands upgrade sprue bits in an image in the recent rule pack, so all chapters getting a supplement are probably getting a sprue.

 

 

It's always been a case of WHEN rather than IF, in the IF case.

 

(Yeah that was horrible )

[Dosjetka]

It's OK, I've told worse jokes. :P

 

Can't wait to get my hands on the upgrade sprues!

[Sete]

I do my part.

But I'll explain my reasoning.

 

I expect IH, RG and Sallies to come out together.

 

As you can see White Scars and ultras got a new char, and also the box set lieutenant.

So 3 new dudes.

 

IH, RG and Sallies, 3 dudes aswell.

 

That leaves IF, and their 2 sucessors.

Now 2 things can happen. IF gets a dude and CF and BT are ignored. Worst case scenario, riots and mayhem ensue, blood in the streets.

 

Best case scenario, IF gets Lysander, CF Pedro, and BT Is the odd one out with 3 different dudes.

Will it have the 3? If yes, this will become a big release. Add dice, cards, sprues, all the shabang. It's a big release and the reason why it might be last. Or I could be wrong. ;)

Wait, how much will that thing cost with 2 transfer sheets and 2 sprues, I need at least 50 boxes for my RG.

[Sete]

Its 12 or 15 quid with 2 sprues and 2 transfers.

Cant recall.

Do Black Templars want a primaris sprue? Would you even use it? I guess if it came with a tabard, which it won't. I haven't even used the fists upgrades really. I don't like the heads or the surveying gear trinkets, or the power fist. And the shoulder pads are just more to paint

[Sete]

Of course.

The old sprue is a decade old.

New shoulder pads, new power weapon and whatever bling they add to it is more then welcome.

I stopped buying the old sprue ages ago.

[Son of Sacrifice]

Fair enough! It looks like the new boxes will include a decal sheet at least.

[Marshal Reinhard]

With my primaris Templar I've gone with the rather excessive option of going with the Black Templar shoulder pad you get from the Deathwatch veterans sprue (like it has a bunch different chapters and just one BT pad). Not really recommended as you need a lot (especially when you consider our marines typically have the chapter symbol on both shoulders) Only way to do this realisticly was what I did and nab them in bulk from various bits-sellers, like on the first day, one site listed as havin 30 or so of them available at a pretty low price, which was the start of this madness...

 

Short version, yes I bloody want a new BT upgrade sprue, lol. Multiple in fact, because i dont think one done in line with the others would have enough different things (not enough chainswords in particular) but i'll take anything I get.
