New preorders for Horus Heresy game

[Lord Marshal]

Standalone pre-orders next week, as well as the alt-Dreadnought, weapon sprues and some dice. Oh and the OLD Drop Pod:

Good to see the drop pod kit has been saved under the 30k label.

Interesting to see the old drop pod back in service less than a month after the new 40k version dropped.

Yeah, it's great to see it back. I wouldn't want to be stuck with this.

Not entirely surprising, as they did tell us it was coming.  Big question is how long it remains; I could easily see SGS deciding to replace it in a year or two with a newer mould, alongside plastic Dreadclaw upgrade and such. The old drop pod has definitely made its mould and production costs back by now.

A plastic Death Storm upgrade frame would be great too.

Temptation to buy half a dozen for a Drop Assault army is outweighed by the fact that such an army now doesn’t work.

There’s got to be some irony award that they re-released the drop pod for the edition that killed drop pod assault.

 

I’m happy it’s back though, I much prefer the older version to the new 40k one.

[Hfran Morkai]

Intriguing.

 

I think I must have about 7 or 8 tucked away but it does seem an odd thing to have two kits for. 

 

And well, the changes to composition.

 

Maybe we'll see something pop up shenanigans-wise in a journal.

Mate, buy them anyway and just play 1.0 or 2.0. Simple. 

 

At the end of the day - play the game you want to amd enjoy.

 

3.0 isn't the game any of the gamers asked for. And for those who just do modeling and painting, this hasn't got the fluff options that fit the lore.

 

All 3.0 is, is the game the GW marketing monkeys and profit focused execs want to sell you. 

 

:cuss: em - it's our hobby not theirs.
