At what time do they normally update Warhammer+? I really want to watch that LI battlereport today.

It's about 1pm UK time I think?

Could go both ways for the individual boxes. Four boxes with double the tanks so 8 Russes, 4 Malcadors, 6 Predators and 4 Sicarans or two boxes with the same numbers as in the starter combining the Russes/Malcadors and Predators/Sicarans. The first is obviously better for consumers as they can pick whatever they want but the second would be half the SKUs so would be better for GW

I do Not want to be paying for Malcadors to get Russes, I feel that you may well be right though. Especially how they spread Dreads and TDA around.

Am I correct in thinking that the Astartes Infantry set is the same contents as the Space Marine contents of the starter box?

 

So a starter box plus the Infantry set will be effectively 2 sets of the space Marine half? Less the tanks, of course...

[vadersson]

I think the eventual battle tank boxes will each be two spruces.  So I guess it depends on if the predators/Sicarans are on the same sprue if they will be in separate boxes.  If so I expect 6 preds or 4 Sicarans to a box.  If not separate spruces then you will get either the same as the starter or double depending on how the spruces are set up.  (Do we know how they are laid out?)

 

same logic applies to the SA tanks.

If I go LI, I'll get 2 starters+2 kratos+1rhino+3baneblade, reselling 1 rules+addons and 1 pair of warhounds.

I already have Titans, knights and planes. This way, I can play 1.5k and 2k points games with some variations with each army.

I'll try to get all of this with discount.

I think that reselling 2 leviathan boxes will cover a great part of this new acquisition.

I missed it yesterday but they showed some of the transfers over on twitter:

The transfers themselves aren't anything special but why only these four? But there should be more in the individual boxes as they also showed SW and EC in the painting video

Huh, maybe I should reconsider my painting plans. Where do decals go on 8mm models anyway?

Banners, Tanks, Thunderhawks

 

and if you are supper dedicated shoulderpads....

[Burni]

That's disappointing about the transfers. I've gone with Mortis to support my upcoming SoH for exactly this kind of reason - I like transfers but having to buy the overpriced Legio sheets (if they are available) is a bit much. At least I'll have some decals to put on my SoH tanks too, just annoying for those who want to do other Legions.

 

Can anyone even name 8 different Solar Aux regiments?! Interested to see what those are.

[Captain Idaho]

I can't even name 8 people who want to collect Solar Auxilia!

 

I might get some custom decals done for cheap efficiency then. Since I'm Ultramarines and none of those shown.

I hope Louise Sugden paints some tiny Rainbow warriors. Seeing these smol marines painted well, just makes me want to do it too.

I'm painting up the guard as mechanicum troops. I am also poking my local groups to see who doesn't want the solar aux side....

I am only interested in the Baneblades. The SA infantry just doesn’t float my boat

Ain't they just the front of the missile launcher

Quite interesting and it confirms a few things:

- Alternating movement *and* shooting. So they have taken a leaf from NetEpic's book here, which I think is for the better.

- Has kept the same turn structure as Epic Space Marine: First Fire, melee combat then advance fire. Guys take it from me this is why you have a few 'hoover' units on advance behind a melee combat, ready to wipe out that bererker or space wolf unit that was looking so pleased with itself after winning a combat :)

 

Interested to see what the 'overwatch fire' they mention is about. In the original game First Fire fulfilled this function, as it basically allowed units that were charged to have a round of shooting at the unit that was attacking them. So would like to know how that differs from it.

Battlereport is up now but as I don't have a subscription I will need to wait for somebody else here to tell us how it went

This is not a how to play, its just an additional formation and mission so two players can play a game with the Contests of the starter box

[WrathOfTheLion]

I'm kind of wondering if we'll see Legionnes Auxilia in the AoD game as well.

[vadersson]

From the article on video games:

 

”As the name suggests, this is only the first part of The Traitor Curse, and the second is coming sooner than you may think – right in time for the winter holidays, in fact. ”

 

the WarCom team loves “Sooner than You May Think” (tm).

sigh

[BolterZorro]

There are 2 winter holidays: end of year/christmass and february. (At least in France).

So, "sooner..." is not applicable in the most probable case
