I can only hope this means plastic Steel Legion. Because I would suddenly develop a great need to have them.

Nothing but scouts there but if they are revisting armergeddon it's as good a reason as any to release some new catachan models and perhaps one special character steel legion model in plastic.

STILL WAITING ON PLASTIC SISTERS GW!!

If they came out with more updated Catachans I could see myself buying a troop box for kit bash purposes. Can't imagine myself getting the old box nowadays.

Also, Aaron Dembski-Bowden on Facebook brings up an interesting point, Armageddon could possibly lead to new Scout Models and/or new heads for them.

They farm out to all sorts of independant artists. A guy in my group was on their painting team for a while. He was super good.

You know that hope leads to folly. Some cheap decent looking terrain and useable models is good enough.

So basically I will get my money's worth? If it isn't to pricey and mirrors my own painting well enough I wouldn't mind making it a regular thing. Life just makes painting at a real rate hard. Plan right now is to simply sell off my few remaining ebay purchases that don't match my current stuff, and get them redone right.

Nope. A few of my teammates are going but I'm going to NYC with MY GIRLFRIEND this coming weekend and that is just far too close to Adepticon.

And playing a few test games from the test packet made me really not want to play the format.

Next time you crazy ultramarine guy, you can see I'm just as jaded and dismissive about this stupid game in real life.

Major push into the North American market by giving retailers stuff they want and a pile of competitively priced entry products to sell to their customers.

I would bet Shadow War comes in at £50 or less, possibly even £35 like the other intro games. I think the thick book and terrain will push it up though.

I wonder if this means that we can get bits sales again. I miss being able to customize my army with just the bit that I needed without hoping that it was on ebay. (Which my current desire of more XV8 Ion Rifles and Airbursting Fragmentation projector bits, currently are not)

counts as squats? squats havent had rules for like 25 years, so youd have to proxy them as something else instead. why not use forge fathers? they fit the 40k aesthetic a lot better than these lame world of warcraft ripoffs

With everything being on a plastic sprue, bits sales just don't make sense. EBay is good enough.

It's only dorfy if the metal beards are protecting actual beards like with the Irondrakes. I think these are merely emulating beards.

Every box of that size has been $150, even the one with two Knights, the Knight upgrade sprue, and a Cities of Death building. I'd be sincerely surprised if it was more than that, $200 tops. It's not like the Space Marine Scouts and Ork Boyz sprues haven't paid for themselves at this point. I don't think I need more boyz, but 10 more Neophytes for my Black Templars would be a welcome addition. That terrain rules too.
