The pics showing the set fully painted in both color schemes is really cool. I'm looking forward to seeing what people end up doing with those.

On the other hand, the paint job on the contemptor is garish as gently caress. Kind of fitting for Word Bearers though.

And as suspected, FW has put up a ton of army deals to combine with the box. No idea if they have any savings, but since it's FW... probably!
315 Dollarydoos!?! :monocle:

It pales in comparison to the FW bundle at almost 900 pounds which consists of "we need to make a big bundle just throw together whatever you can grab that looks like a tank and call it a day - oh and a techmarine too". It's so bizarre.

It also appears to include three copies of the board game.

Well then.

I saw a couple of posters at Bolter & Chainsword mention they are picking 2-3 boxes on day 1, so that part isn't too weird all things taken into account.

Kind of funny they'll throw away all the cardboard though.

I'm not too surprised considering the kinds of people who seem to post on Bolter and Chainsword last time I check that site out.

I mean, there's being a GW fan, and then there's the B&C crew...

Hello, I would like to retract my previous statement; I originally said this game was 315 Dollarydoos; it was actually 315 Kiwi Funbux. The price in Dollarydoos is 265.


In seriousness, though, these are nice models and I actually kind of like the idea of the Horus Heresy as a game since I imagine "Differently flavored Space Marines" are easier for GW to balance than 40K is. I fear that I may give GW money if they make a main line of miniatures for 30K that's cheaper than FW.

The boardgame, though? Pass.
