Does anyone have the prices yet? and could someone remind me when pre-orders go live on Warhammer.com? 11? 
 

edit: it’s already being listed on eBay for £210 which is outrageous and predictable.

 

These boxes are usually around $230 USD, 145 GBP, (Based on BA Box set released most recently).

I think on release the BA box set could be found reliably for $210 and 115GBP respectively.

Blood Angels was £140 and Deathwing was £135. Given the size of the Deathriders, a special character and artillery piece being quite large, I'd be surprised if it's less than either of those.

£140 could be the going rate for these boxes...till the annual £5 hike we seem to get

I am really tempted by this. And I have always considered myself more of a steel legion fan.

but the horses are cool, the artillery is awesome.

I am going through the paints and basing materials I'll need and it is expensive. that alone might stop me but it is very tempting.

Goes live at 1000 UK time.

 

At the moment that’s 1000 GMT, it changes from GMT to BST in the summer.

Pre-orders generally go live at 10am local time for wherever you are. In the US its 10am Pacific. I'm not sure if other countries with multiple time zones are different.

So is it only the army set that is out for preorder 

Hope not as would love to get my hands on the rest of the new kits more 

The army set is cool but more only want the engineers and artillery piece 

Really hoping the malcador doenst go legends, such an amazing tank and would be an absolute shame

It's only the army set currently like they've done for ages now. The rest will come in a month to three.

yeah I think it's the army box only for now. the week or two after the other items should follow. with the combat patrol being last probably.

price wise, I hope it's sub 300 cdn but it's probably close to that.

My Local shops here in the USA are quoting $230US MSRP

Seems correct if I remember the BA one.

[Chaplain Raeven]

That's a steep price for just 18 models, and I only have an interest in 7 (maybe 8) of them. Might have to sit this one out.

Normally its about a month later so I'd expect them on February 15th or 22nd

I do want it but I cant justify it....
I have one squad or plastic Krieg from kill team and have tried to convince myself this and the boxset would be a good starting point for a new guard army but that way madness lies! (and financial ruin!). I'd want to ahve both an infantry horde army and a tanks one - I dont have the time, money, space or sanity for this at the moment.

Agreed. The battle force is not a great basis for an army because there’s not enough of either infantry or tanks - the two great staples of the guard. It’s more of something to buy to add on to a core force.

 

GW need to get their act together with Krieg, and seriously, provide a better way of getting hold of lots of infantry. There are some very good and very reasonably priced 3D printed versions out there and at the very least a Krieg combat patrol similar to the Cadian one needs to be released to keep up. I’m seriously considering buying a whole load of third-party Krieg at the moment because the GW plastics are just too expensive at £42.50 a box. Even with FLGS discount that’s too much for the numbers you need for a decent force.

Prices for this week:

Army set is the same price as the Blood Angels one

[ZeroWolf]

That seems to be the new standard price for these boxsets (till the next increase anyway).

 

[siegfriedfr]

Very hard buy.

 

Only the artillery and Lord are actually cool, death riders design being very watered down and cartoonified compared to the resin originals.

 

Also, very unlikely the DKOK get access to the plastic auxilia tanks, so the feel of the faction will feel wrong on the tabletop.

 

Pass.

[Marshal Mittens]

The Army set looks neat. I will probably get one. I think it's going to be insanely expensive in a price to points ratio. I hope the eventual combat patrol has some of the other units in it. 

[Chaplain Raeven]

Hard pass. You can get 2 Cadian Batteries for €44. For only 1 battery, 5 lads and some horses I have no interest in, I'll await the Combat patrol with hopefully more usefull units in it.

The Krieg artillery piece is larger

[Emperor Ming]

There's just too many issues with that box for me, too much cav, not enough inf, no tanks

 

That artillery piece, while it looks amazing, its prob gonna be naff. and the 130mm base is going to cause issues

We know the new combat patrol; 10 Rough Riders, 10 Kasrkin, and a Cadian Command Squad.

Copying this info here so people can be reminded of what the new CP is for guard instead of letting their hopes get the best of them.

Thanks for doing this again. Not a good patrol at all, again nothing really that you want for a core of a force, which CPs are supposed to be. Even more dumb if this replaces the current combat patrol, as it probably will. Very poor choice.
