I've got the inquisitors good to go, I've got some hereticus units, I'm holding off malleus and xenos until we get a better idea if they're going the way of the dodo... or if codex "random models we sell" is, which would be sad.

Wow, this is a disgrace.

 

Having been recently focused solely on the actual hobby aspect of the hobby, I've forgotten how shoddy GW can be with their releases, updates and sale strategies, as well as some other things that I've apparently buried deep and/or forgotten about.

 

On their own, these have always been cool models. But it's quite impossible now not to compare them with the other updated ranges.

Just comparing this Combat Patrol to the previous one, I think I prefer it? 
 

It’s swapped a generic Terminator Librarian for Crowe and a Dreadknight for a Ven. Dreadnaught and 5 extra Strike Marines. 
 

We knew the GK’s weren’t being rescaled this edition, so I’m not sure why everyone’s surprised/appalled; it’s not a range clearance, this is just the range.

That and they dont do range clearances like that either. The sprues here are freshly printed instead of being repacked.

I get being dissatisfied with the state of the Grey Knights range, but given that we already knew a range refresh wasn't coming at this point in time, I'm not sure I get what's supposed to be wrong with the box?

I mean, I personally wouldn't buy it but if I wanted to play Grey Knights it seems like it'd be a good starting point (likewise if I wanted to play combat patrol).

I guess the old box which included a Dreadknight instead of a Dreadnought was perceived a better deal. Which I’m inclined to agree; at least until we see the rules.
 

If Dreadnoughts get a similar refresh to the chaos ones, I could see the box being rehabilitated.

Yeah that was my thought too. Were people hoping for the Dreadknight?

 

Maybe people wanted a surprise reveal of upscaled troops?
