So... we gonna start a betting pool for next week?

I bet one Mk VI pauldron with molecular bonding studs that it won't drop until Friday at the earliest.

Heresy Thursday would be my guess

Isn't a thing anymore.

 

So....are we burning an effigy of James Workshop or do we wait another week first?

We should start writing sn email with "Where is the legacy pdf, James?" Every day until it drops.

I think that's a bet you may win, I'm pretty sure they're changing the PDF at the moment to address people's concerns and Friday is a prime day to drop and walk away for the weekend in business circles. Not saying it will be bad just tends to be standard practice in most business.

 

I'm hoping they keep the options of second, looking at the new libers has killed any thoughts I had of potentially trying out the game because the options are just so bland. It's like chewing gum you've been chewing for ages, the flavour is gone but you still keep chewing rather than spit it out and get some fresh gum.

 

If they can inject enough of HH2 unit options into the game to give it character then I may be on board.

 

The journal I looked at was quite interesting and I quite like the idea of the Auger Command and Control unit but I'm still on the fence for now.

Just for fun, I'm gonna bet Thursday. If I get it wrong, I'll convert a custom Dark Sons of Death squad.

 

Who else is feeling brave?

I haven't seen if anyone did a computation of the value of the Saturnine box's content. I just did one based on the prices for the individual elements. I arrive at a total value of £435.25.

 

Based on that, at £195 before any discounts, the Saturnine box was offered for 44.8% of its total value. Quite nice savings.

 

For those who bought from third party retailers offering 35% discount to the full retail price, that equates to buying the box for 29.12% of its total value.

I say.... WOTANS DAY.

If not I'd have to built my Caestus Assault Ram!

Anyone care to make a list of bets and prices if failure?

[BitsHammer]

You know, considering today is the big Saturnine push I kind of expected the Saturn Journal to be in the pre-order.

A full pauldron?! Pretty bold move when you could have stayed on the safe side and only wagered half of a Mk VI pauldron. You like to live on the edge, don´t cha?

[Urauloth]

Losing half a Mk.VI pauldron would be worse, I'd argue.

The full price of the Saturnine dread and TDA kits... well, I shouldn't be surprised, but yikes. Makes me nervous about how much the new Cataphractii might be.

I’d do it it too, it makes so much sense instead of having to lug the lore around; and spiral binding is easier to flip through.

Incredible idea.
