Booley posted:Yeah, this works fine as a starter but isn't designed to be one, I'd expect the starters to be at a much lower pricepoint, as $200 is a lot for someone just thinking about getting started to drop. That is more or less my point, as the poster I originally responded to seemed disappointed that the box he purchased wasn't explicitly a "starter." I think it's a fine entry point with a second rulebook for a pair of people to split, even though it is a limited launch box rather than the starter that will carry through the whole edition. I guess you don't end up with two of the chapter approved books, and the data sheets for both sides are in the same book, but there will (presumably) shortly be new codices for Marines and Necrons. It would be interesting to see the DI sprues mixed back in with the exclusive Indomitus sprue to make a new starter. You could easily get: Gravis Captain 5x Intercessors 5x Hellblasters 3x Inceptor Along with Primaris Chaplain Judicator 3x Bladeguard Bladeguard Standard bearer 3x Eradicator As a beefy starter that would encourage people to buy both new and old models to flesh out their units. 23 models makes a good half for a starter box. DI had 22 space marines, for example.

Lungboy posted:Like you handwaving away your claims of being promised that everyone who wanted a copy would be able to get one as "heard it on a stream" then supplying multiple quotes of them explicitly *not* stating that everyone would be able to get a copy, but rather that they made a shitload of copies, which they did? Fine https://twitch.tv/649619567 1:36:34 Adam Troke: Is this limited? The answer is this is a launch box, when it's gone it's gone. This is designed for thee true fans of Warhammer 40,00 who are hyped for the new addition of the game. So umm there are lots of them, you will be able to get your hands on one if you want one, but err for a limited time. So don't delay as they won't last forever. Is that fair to say Eddie? Eddie Eccles: Yeah that's absolutely true. You're quite right Adam. We've made lots and lots and lots of this box. It's the best box for Warhammer 40,000 that we've ever made so we've made absolutely loads, but it wont be around forever. Which is just one of the streams where they made such a comment. So now can we agree that flipping out over someone feeling bad for a friend, and when they are told they are acting like a dick they tell everyone to gently caress off like an aggressive prick is totally unnecessary? Good.

Stephenls posted:I'm really curious when they're going to announce that proper starter. It is an interesting one isn't it. I think starting with what, the sisters box way back when that had a bunch of new models and the codex, this weird 'enthusiast' splash release is here to stay. My guess is we get a Dark Vengeance sized starter with like, half the models from Indomitus.

I'm interested in playing Imperial Guard but don't like the heads, and I want to use Pig Iron bits for the heads. But a problem I think I might run into is I think the guardsmen with plasma/melta weapons are metal, and that the head is built solidly into the model, making conversion difficult. Anyone have experience with this? Here is the conversion I want:

Put in the two big sprues from Indomitus, about another sprue worth of troops, and a magazine-sized rulebook. Stephenls fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Jul 12, 2020 |

Anyone have experience with this? The Cadian Command box has plastic melta/plasma but I think only one of each as do the Stormtroopers, there are multi-packs of Marine melta/plasma but it might look too large and it comes with hands attached. Victoria Lamb has v.good "not-"meltas and plasmas if you're willing to go third-party, Anvil's are also ok but keep in mind they're part and parcel of their arm systems (I don't think they have them "loose").

But a problem I think I might run into is I think the guardsmen with plasma/melta weapons are metal, and that the head is built solidly into the model, making conversion difficult. Anyone have experience with this? Plasma guns can be solved by using Grenade launcher arms and space marine plasma guns which can be bought as a pack, Duncan posted a tutorial that makes it look way easier than it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH0h-fA_EWE I did it though for my AM Kill Team and they look pretty good. Melta weapons are a bit tougher, as someone pointed out your only choices is the command squad for 1 melta gun or converting the metal model. The other option is for £17 you can buy the Death Korp of Krieg weapon set, which comes with two plasma and two melta guns, plus two Krieg like grenade launchers and a flamer. The arms would all go to waste though. Unless something radically changes the meltaguns aren't that commonly used, so maybe stick with the Duncan video on the conversion to get the plasma guns, but even then to be honest i think it's more common for infantry squads just to be as cheap as possible, so I wouldn't even worry about special weapons.

Anyone have experience with this? The question's been answered, so I'll just add a word of warning. The Pig Iron heads will require a bit of clean up of a mold line over the head, not the worst thing in the world but it is pewter. They may also need a bit of filing down to fit neatly into the neck socket. They do look great when done though. Lovely Joe Stalin fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Jul 12, 2020 |

Anyone have experience with this? The Cadian Command squad (or the Catachan Command squad if you're a ham of finer taste) have plastic plasma gun, meltagun, grenade launcher, and flamer in them. You could pick up a couple of those and make some cool officers or veterans with the other bits.

Lovely Joe is not lovely and you should really not communicate with them. The lack of boxes after promises, and they were pormises, of "loads"is just vage enough to say many but possibly not enough. They hyped the poo poo out of this an underestimated when they should have over estimated, they're doible sets they will sell, and they are currently the only way to get each model, you can't buy those bikes etc by themselves till who knows when. It sucks your bud couldn't land a box due to a 45 min delay as with anyone else who were a click away annit sold out. Doesn't sound like "loads" to me. But its GW an they will get a pass like always.

thanks for the replies all. using bits from the command squad, do they have hands and arms attached? I'm not the best at the modeling aspect of this hobby so I'm trying to minimize my effort aha edit: I mean, as in how do I go about using the command squad bits? do I replace the lasgun and keep the guardsmen arms or does the command set have arms that can hold the plasma/melta weapons that can be put on regular guardsmen? a pale ghost fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Jul 12, 2020 |

I'm not the best at the modeling aspect of this hobby so I'm trying to minimize my effort aha From what I remember the arms are attached to the guns, you literally stick it onto the body, and the command squad comes with 5 bodies, legs, and heads. It's basically 5 dudes. If you ever have more than maybe 2 plasma and meltaguns though it will get expensive fast, so much so i'd actually get the krieg set from FW instead.

If they're already doing Pig Iron (and therefore aren't dependent on 100% GW) I'd really suggest they look at Victoria Lamb's melta/plasmas, way way cheaper (5 guns for like USD 4) and aesthetically v.similar.

For_Great_Justice posted:Lovely Joe is not lovely and you should really not communicate with them. They made hundreds of thousands of boxes of Indomitus. It's the largest single print run they've ever done. It's likely that this box alone outsold every single non-GW tabletop company combined this year, excepting D&D and Magic. Making these box sets has a lead time of several months for production and they had to shut down their factory for a couple of months due to a global pandemic, otherwise there would probably be even more. You can even still find boxes if you look around and hit up FLGS that aren't in major cities or do a ton of online business. Yes, it sucks they underestimated demand. But the actual models will be repackaged into start collecting boxes or a starter box before the end of the year, and probably within the next couple of months. Literally the only thing people are missing out on by not getting the Indomitus box is a textless cover version of the rulebook.

moths posted:It's a really good value for money. For less than two Start Collecting boxes you get two upsized forces and the rulebook. Also GW's release schedule for new models is opaque, with unpredictable omissions. Suppressors made their debut in Shadowspear in March of 2019. They still don't have a stand alone box. Then on top of that, some countries get hit with long term stocking gaps, so even when they are released, actually getting a box may still not be possible. In short, if you miss out on a release, you may be in for a long wait. With respect to today, I'm not sure if seven hours was a troll or something, but here it was out of stock here by about 30 minutes - tough to be precise because the website was a basket case. It would be great if GW would make another run, but my sense is that they rarely have that flexibility because they've already got the next dozen something releases planned and in queue.

Technically they were, in fact, still in stock 7 hours later, because that is the time difference between 10AM UK time and 10AM PST (US preorder time).
