I think it is fair to assume that basic rules for units (ie: datasheets) will be free online similar to AOS Warscrolls, so these Index books are just for people that want hard copies, similar to the Grand Alliance books that were released (a year too late) This is the only new model that I don't like so far Pawl fucked around with this message at 12:33 on May 23, 2017 |

I'm guessing the price will be about $160 for the box, the objective markers are nice however given the new command point system I'd have liked to see a set of those markers in there as well. Numarines are definitely tempting- I never considered having a SM force however I'm going to pre-order and am tempted to start a small force of

Those Primaris jetpack dudes and the captain are terrible, holy poo poo. The nurgle cultists are super rad and the death guard are decent but overdetailed. Overall i feel like GW is getting more hit and miss with every release, it's weird.

It'll be impossible to tell until we get rules/stats/point values, but I wonder if as usual in the box set. The relative power of the factions is heavily weighted in favour of the Marines. As I recall both Dark Vengance and Black Reach gave the Marine faction far more points worth of units.

The relative power of the factions is heavily weighted in favour of the Marines. As I recall both Dark Vengance and Black Reach gave the Marine faction far more points worth of units. I dunno I'd say it's pretty even. You definitely get more models/flexibility with the Death Guard. With two lascannon shots off the Plague Drone that's some solid long-range anti-Primaris fire. I'm sure it'll be even-ish at least, especially since there's a Nurgle sorceror and no countering librarian on the Imperial side. Edit: Apparently Tinypic doesn't work now, cool. That's like the only imagehost not firewalled here so I guess I can't post the full box content from the site.

I definitely will, I'm just starting to rediscover my 'hams stuff after moving and still need to take inventory of what paints I still have, and what I used to use for my color scheme (its been years since I've looked at this stuff). Once I get back into the swing of things I'll start with him. Want to greenstuff some nurgley things on and such too.

 ++++++ For seven millennia the blessed atomantic forges of Cyprar XI have ceaselessly churned out the most sacred vestment of an Adeptus Astartes Librarian's panoply, the hallowed Mark XXXVII Noctifuge Pattern Pyschic Hood chassis. Though another forge world is granted the privilege of fabricating the myriad components that fill the adamantium shell of the Mark XXXVII Noctifuge Pattern Pyschic Hood chassis, none may deny that the Omnissiah would not tolerate their function anywhere but nestled within the Noctifuge Pattern's ceramite lattice. The techno-savants of Cyprar XI are faithful. Despite nearly six millennia of silence from the greater Imperium, the furnaces never cooled and the great tangled artifice of the Omnissiah never ceased its mechanical hum. The light of the Emperor finally smiled upon the world once again with the arrival of an odd assortment of agents of the Mechanicus. It was quickly ascertained that the piousness of the world need not be further investigated and the retroactive tithes were quickly and unquestioningly acquired. Upon bearing witness to the continent-sized warehouse of Mark XXXVII Noctifuge Pattern Pyschic Hood chassis and sparing a brief glance at a doodle of a jump-pack wrought upon a piece of ancient parchment, Belisarius Cawl spoke out in binaric "....I have an idea" ++++++

Huge change with regards to the Fly rule mentioned on the linked image. Minimum move not being possible or it taking you off the board edge meaning the model is destroyed/abandons the battle.

I'm guessing $150 for the box and $50 for the rulebook, given rumor and GW's very special exchange rate pricing. I wouldn't be surprised at $175, though that puts it out of my "well maybe" price range.
