Lord Marshal Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I got an e-mail from Battleground the other day stating they hadn't received them yet and apparently GW's systems had been "playing up all week." Take that as you will. On the other hand, the box I ordered from Alchemist's Workshop has been sent out, so it mostly seems to be a luck-of-the-draw thing.

Rusted Boltgun Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I guess I was lucky, collected my box from my local GW store on Thursday and have another box from a third party stuck with Yodel, hoping for delivery on Monday. My copy of the RT book didn't arrive though so I wasn't lucky enough to get one off the shelf in Nottingham, will have to to wait for the new print run.

I've got a UK based copy of the RT book if interested? Long story short you can have it for retail and I'll chuck postage in.

Thanks for the offer but the shop rang HO who say that I am still due my copy - I just wasn't lucky enough to get one of the ones lying around, mine will be part of the MTO batch.

DemonGSides Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 My local store had a bunch of them on the shelf. Weirdest thing was they didn't have the outer plastic. Made me do a doable take.

Just struck me as strange cuz I could pretty easily just pop that box open and rifle around if I wanted to. Seems... Suspect.

I know of at least one LGS that removes the wrap of boxes to check if the contents are ok before selling them. Apparently due to a mix of genuine GW mistakes and malicious customers lying about missing bits or even whole sprues.

01RTB01 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Most boxes now just have sticker type things to keep them sealed instead.

Xirix Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Mine had a sticker on either side, which thankfully doesn't destroy the box when removed.

It's been a while tho and I don't generally keep tabs on that sort of thing. It just shocked me when I picked up the box and only the lid came away LOL Edited October 29, 2023 by DemonGSides Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380773-updated-mark-iii-potential-deredeo/page/21/#findComment-5998275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I manged to get mine and boy howdy does the box look good. The instructions are kinda funny because they have example Deredeo's modeled with both a plasma and autocannon arm. Gave me a chuckle.

01RTB01 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Aye I noticed that. I built my deredeo today. I don't understand why they modelled it so that the weapons can't face forward. They're at a weird forward facing angle that I don't like. However, nice model.

Casual Heresy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Picked mine up on Saturday but haven't had a chance to build models yet. Is it weird that I'm really happy the box is the same hard cardboard as the AoD box? I turned that box into storage for my Heresy vehicles with pluck foam, but now I think I can put the Rhino hulls in the new box and have more space for heavy vehicles! The new kits are great though and I'm really looking forward to building them. Just need my missile launchers to arrive so I can turn the first squad into Nemesis Destroyers. I'm probably going to use the traitor armour on the Deredo since the lightning bolts are very Roman. tinpact, painting.for.my.sanity, Xenith and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380773-updated-mark-iii-potential-deredeo/page/21/#findComment-5998433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noserenda Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Yeah the newer boxes are really handy for storage unlike the thinner, floppier onesi still have some odds and ends in!

Xenith Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Got my order from element on time and on target, can't wait to get stuck in! I'm thinking 10x breachers, 10x culverin marines, 10x tacticals? Maybe 5x plasma and 5x other support?

Not me to answer but I've a friend with a printer and I've found some that are the same scale as the new mkiii and with the vambraces we have on the sprues, they'll "mkiii up" in no time. I'd rather buy gw plastic but as they don't exist and I don't want to wait 2 years from the 2.0 release... Edited October 31, 2023 by Xenith no linking to repositories.

It's slightly annoying that they have the "wrong" bolter for MK3s, but I have tons of them in resin so I'll probably be able to manage. I really like the shields.
