Feels early to be putting out a filler week.

My working theory is that this is replacing whatever was supposed to follow Dawn of War IV , which originally had a 17th September release date.

Goffik rok band is an interesting touch. Though if I am not mistaken, this is the "modern" version rather than the original RT era one.

 

As for the chaos space marine Christmas tree decoration, I am not particularly excited... but if you are stuck celebrating the holidays in the depths of Eye of Terror, maybe you might want to hang them in your daemonic mutant tree.

My budget for the Legion of the Damned just keeps gettting bigger!

 

I wonder if they'll have a MtO for SM in a bit, it'd make sense with a lot of old units going into legends and LotD being a callback to that aesthetic.. 

I don't have the metal ghaz from third edition so I'll be grabbing that. I'll also grab the goff Rockers as I don't have them. I'd like a dread price depending. It was $88cad last time iirc

 

Honestly I feel like I should get the lot just because I want to see some RT/ 2nd Ed stuff on more MTOs.

Filler week?! Ongoing Budget Apocalypse Week more like.

 

Fair. As someone who has an eye on the Kill Team box, the Darkwater expansion, the Khazalite army box AND the Khemri reinforcements set, I feel like I would have liked a week off between them rather than just before the inevitable 4-week bank account destroyer combo!

I kinda hope not. I don't think I could resist Veterans Mk I and II or the metal LotD, although that could help people feel better about how few KT:A sets will be available. Maybe they'll be nice and make a firstborn Combat Patrol with recent-ish plastic kits?

That Ghaz there was such an awesome model 

 

Yeah just fantastic - the current model is great but definitely feels way more cartoony and, like the Primarchs, a bit too out of scale. I wonder how many complaints there were when the 3rd (?) ed one came out for not being like the 2nd ed one though!

 

The new Nazdreg kinda scratches a similar itch, I wonder how they compare size wize. 

Technically, there was no Ghaz model released during the 2nd edition. The first commercial one came out in summer 1992 (late 1st editon) together with original Yarrick, and the one now available in made to order came out in summer 2000 to coincide with the Third Armageddon War campaign.

 

Then there is the original Ghaz that was simply a conversion shown on WD, without any special rules.

No, these are the original RT-era ones, not their modern reinterpretation

I'm surprised, but the only one that really interests me there is Boss Zagstruk, but a) I already have a finecast version of him which although being.... finecast... is close enough for me and b) They mangled Taktikal Brigade so I have less motivation to use him anyway.

 

Obviously I am not complaining that people get the chance to have these models again, that's really cool, it's just I'm not going to bite this time. I wondrer why classic Snikrot didn't make the cut?  Was his mould/tool thingy too sneaky to track down?

Thanks for the correction, Grand Master Laertes, I will immediately admit to being mistaken. I should have checked the catalogue entry insted of relying on memory:

These models still stand out after 35 years, though compared to the modern orks they probably look like a bunch of youngsters. Then again, I guess they are more likely to end up in dioramas on their own, rather than mixed up with other models on the field of battle.

The Deff Dread is top of the nostalgia list for me but I dread (bad-dum tsss....!) to think of the cost! that and Ghaz! I'll probably get neither though as I have enough to be getting on with and sentimentality aside I don't need these.

To be fair, nostalgia wise they would have probably made a few quid off us oldies by doing a MtO of the 2nd edition box set version... the card stock one!

Actually, the whole second edition box would probably do pretty well right now off the back of the Armageddon releases.

Knowing GW, you might save 10 dollaroos compared to current plastic deff dread

I could sort of see financial sense in doing a limited edition print run of the second edition boxed set books and maybe some of the cardstock. However, I am less certain of the wisdow of doing a re-run of the whole boxed set - I am not certain how far sense of nostalgy gets you in the face of 40 monopose gretchin with autoguns.

 

That said, they might have those plastic moulds still in store, after all there are older moulds still in use (Empire Knights ride around in barded warhorses dating back to 1991).

I'm still using my RT/ 2nd Ed minis in game. They're on the right bases so why not?
