Lord Nord in Gravis Armour Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) So, in that picture I count.... 10 Assault Intercessors, 3 of the Sword & Board guys, Lieutenant and Captain with Sword & Board, 3 Bikers, 3 Hellfuries (gonna call them that until they get officially named) a new Ancient and..... TWO Chaplains? Wait. Why are there two? 5 sword and board honor gaurd.1x master of executioners casius ancient hell furies outriders (bikes) Look again. Shield dude on far left is in gravis armour. Second from left is Lt with volkite pistol. Other 3 has two with helmets and one with white helmet with red stripe, thats a unit of 3 nope. its intercessor armor. it tricked me at first to. the hellmet, is just like the sisters helmet. the jaw slide is up. underneath it is the omnis pattern helmet. volkite pistol is the seargent. just like the seargents for the assault ints have a plasma The guy with the Volkite pistol is clearly marked as a lieutenant. Red stripe with white edging. And he has a blue helmet. That's LT marking for the Smurfs. The guy in the middle of the three-man squad has veteran sergeant marking - white stripe on a red helmet, plus he also has a sergeant mark on his shoulder pauldron. The two guys flanking him have veteran marking (white helmets). Guy all the way to the left has a skull dead center of an otherwise-blue helmet - so it's captain, lieutenant, and three-man veteran squad going left to right. (Plus I'm not so sure that all of the shield dudes don't have volkites - they all have pistol holsters that look a lot bigger than the standard bolt pistol holster).

ThePenitentOne Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Love all the sisters in the video. Your army is important, we still love you. Oh wait. Your army isn't important. But would you like some marines? I mean, sisters have 33 units, DE have 41. But we know marines were really struggling with only 150 + SKUs. I'm happy for Necron players I guess.

Medjugorje Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 its absolute phantastic release for me, at first my main army is a huge black templar force (every thing is said), and I play Necrons too, and I bought some shares from GW a few weeks ago. I will buy 3 boxes for sure^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364082-9th-starter-box-speculation/page/2/#findComment-5527237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'm definitely getting myself a box, potentially two depending on whether I have the funds left over from after I buy Szerakh and all the other goodies.

TootiusNootius Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Still need to explain the Sisters though.... I assume it's their involvement in Pariah's story with the Inquisitor leading into 9th. +Also they're one of the newer codex's, their a new range which GW will want to push considering they'd only just fully dropped before lockdown+ Edited May 23, 2020 by TootiusNootius Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364082-9th-starter-box-speculation/page/2/#findComment-5527257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Triszin Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Those are cool preview pics. I wish there was a way to have multiple boxes, with different forces for those who want them. At least in a limited capacity before the one box becomes it for the duration of the edition. Looks like a great box though for sure thats a really great idea, like the xmas bundles. probably never happen though :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364082-9th-starter-box-speculation/page/2/#findComment-5527325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Valrak Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I think they may sell them as separate boxes, just like what the Sisters got.

Lord Nord in Gravis Armour Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I think they may sell them as separate boxes, just like what the Sisters got. Was the Sisters box monopose? I'd like to get one of these, but I want to be able to stick my own chapter pads on there, as well as helmeting those foolish sergeants (yeah, I know you can stick a helmeted head on a monopose sergeant, but then you have to hack off the one maglocked to their hip).

Gederas Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 So, okay, this is more hints/rumours from the playtester. Specifically, about the Outriders (the bikers):"Yeah I would hold on to those bikers, they are crazy good." (this was in response to someone saying he wants to offload the bikes)"crazy good how? Because unless they have any some kind of funky rules all I see are just chainswords and twin both rifles Unless you're referring to the fact that they'll be zipping around with three wounds a 14-inch movement and toughness 5?" (this was me inquiring) This, however, is the most important bit: "Yeah they have some other stuff and the profile is betterThey be legit tasty for all marine factions especially for ones with bonuses to combatI think WS, BT, BA, DA, and SW will all do well with a load of these.I think they may be the most “competitive” choice from the models previewed thus far" Have fun speculificating! Because he wouldn't say any more than that :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364082-9th-starter-box-speculation/page/2/#findComment-5527367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 1: This is the best starter set ever. 2: It's massive. So many models. I expect a higher price!

Guest Triszin Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 1: This is the best starter set ever. 2: It's massive. So many models. I expect a higher price! I initially thought this might be 200+. but looking at it, and looking at last years xmas bundles. I think this could be 185$ tops. as its the "starter" and I think if a parent see's something over 200 they will raise an eyebrow Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364082-9th-starter-box-speculation/page/2/#findComment-5527406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schurge Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 It better not be much more expensive then past starter sets... I've been using this new edition to get people I know to finally take the dive... "Starter sets are always cheap and a great value!"

Tyriks Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Didn’t Valrak say the forces are split into separate boxes? Opposed to a typical box of two armies. Where did he say that?
