I probably will be kicking myself later for not getting the giant Heresy box set. I could flip it in a year for good profit if nothing else.
I might have to steal the old school not Land Raider though.
I do want a couple of the Heresy style missile launchers for my ancient Rogue Trader Guard.
@JTam
Still have a couple of RT inbox and about 5 RT Rhinos unpainted so pretty good savings when compared to current pricetag for both kits.
Space Marines sets will include enough stuff to build 2 tactical units .. but almost 100$can for a box is a joke.
@Steven StGeorges
I agree, GW prices are insane. It's only the BIG box sets where the price per mini approaches anything like sanity.
You have original unpainted Rogue Trader era Rhinos? Those are worth a pretty penny these days.
@Steven StGeorges
The Hearthguard are here:
He must work out....
@JTam
... and both kind of vehicles are coming with original boxes... so MKII an MKI -so Deimos pattern according to FW terminology 😉...
So instead of 555$CAN, I should pay 360$CAN (taxes and p/p not included) for the box set of HH:AoD that is accordingly to spikeybits and co. a fair deal.. even the best deal GW is able to offer (sigh) since box is including:
- a LandRa... sorry a Spartan Assault Tank
- a Contemplator Dreadnought
- a couple of Praetores (monopose models...)
- 40 MKVI-Beakies (multipose models.. at least a good news but with half a transfer sheet, for both Lunar Wolves and Imperial Fists)
- 10 Cataphractii Terminators (monopose as usual)
So no Deimos pattern Rhinos -or RT Rhino-... please add 50$CAN a model, no Devas.. sorry Heavy Support upgrade... please add another 50$CAN for a selection of heavy weapons. And I do not even talk about the Krathos Heavy -another Deimos-named vehicle, for bout 120$Can a box-.. just a remake of the previous Sicaran Support Heavy with more guns...
Take a look at HH Collection set, including the current starter set + Rulebook, Factionbook , Krathos, Rhino... about 760$CAN, taxes and p/p not included.
New versions of the Vindicator, the Preadator should be available before next September -about 69$CAN each- .. then a box including a MKVI squad with a Rhino for 89$CAN.. another 10 MK? marines box for 56$CAN (so technically the way FW sold them a couple of year ago)... and still a LOT more to come... 😬
The new Hearthguard is NOT really my cup of tea... too bulky. Models are lovely but too modern-day W40K but I do like the swordarm anyway
@JTam
Oh and while checking pricetags on GW site, I read a note about the fact all Xenos are excluded from the HH:AoD setting.. while I do clearly remember articles and dispatches from auld WDs talking about Eldars fighting alongside Loyalist ranks against Horus & Co., same for Squats alongside IG or Orks (the good auld days of Ork Raiders parties) taking advantage of an weakened Imperium of Man... a pity, since if GW is rebooting the main event of the history of WH40K, rebooting IG -I think Auxiliaries are going to be repacks of previous gorgeous (but so expensive) FW Solar Auxilia forces... and maybe other old IG models (will the 8th Necromunda be back too?), rebooting Eldars, Squats/Leaguers and Orks (recycling old models and previous content for RTBs) could have been quite a good addition to the mix. Some clever players are for sure going to use Leaguers during HH games since their technology is predating the Heresy...
As a matter of facts I do expect GW to release repacks of previous FW ranges so modern-day reboot of previous RT models (just check for the lovely but so oldschool Master of the Signal for instance), Rapier Destroyer or the LandSpeeder (but still no MoleMortar by the way)....or my all-time favourites the Mechanium Tech-Thrall Covenant and the MKIV Destroyer Squad: with their lovely rad-missile launcher, phosphex bombs and dual bolterpistols... coming on foot or with a MKII jumpacks (waitamin were not flypacks supposed to exist during the RT HH, right?)
I am quite sure before Christmas, my regular 2nd/3rd hand providers are going to be weighted down under a lot of HH unfinished model sets.😅
The Leagues are getting a troop transport/IFV:

And there's cyborg close combat troops:

(Warhammer Fantasy Battle Slayer equivalents? Miner equivalents? Slayer Miner equivalents?)
Feeling kind of meh on the transport.
Not sure about the berserker miners either. But if you've ever wanted to game a dwarf fisting someone to death on the tabletop I guess you can now.
