Swan-of-War Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I think $160 is pretty good - considering the rule book is hardbound and all the models you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yeah, those are really good prices, considering. You gotta think that those 5 indexes are replacing ~25 codexes. And a hardcover in the box set is awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 The Termie armor is huge. Those squads are going to be giants on the table. Adeptus Giganticus or a Warhound this summer....hmm. I forsee the impulse shopper in me winning out and getting True Scale Marines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the AoS app from the start has gotten me spoiled on this stuff I may just get one of the indexes and hold out hope for an App in the near future.They took a similar route last year with AoS and now there is no need for any of those books at all.

andy Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Oh, and don’t worry, this doesn’t mean Orks and Tyranids are now on the same side, it just means they share a book for the moment. In the future, they’ll get their own dedicated codexes. So what does this mean? The Indexes are only temporary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spagunk Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 1 hour ago, andy said: So what does this mean? The Indexes are only temporary? I believe this is the case. However the timeline on when they release army specific battletomes is the big question. AND, on top of that, they are going to reissue the indexes every so often like the generals handbook for AoS. The idea is that they publish cheaper, more frequent versions so that everything is balanced (according to GW that is). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Just like in AoS when GW released rules for every current unit in the game, that is what the first codex books are. They just aren't free like they were in AoS. And, just like AoS, GW will eventually release army specific books with new units. Is it really that surprising? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 New Warhammer 40,000: A Forge World Datasheet! Well, yesterday was exciting, wasn’t it? Amidst the massive line-up of new releases due for pre-order on the 3rd of June were the Forge World Imperial Armour Index books for Space Marines and their traitorous counterparts.We haven’t really talked about Forge World miniatures in the new Warhammer 40,000 yet, but now that the new books are confirmed, let’s take a look at a datasheet from one. This guy is a Leviathan Dreadnought. And more than that, a Chaos one! The traitor’s look like they have opened up their 10,000-year-old vault of Legion Dreadnoughts for the new Warhammer 40,000. Against those new Primaris Space Marines, we’re sure Chaos players will appreciate the reinforcement. Just a cursory glance at the stats on this guy, and we can see that he is an absolute monster! Some of the larger walkers, which previously fell a little short of super-heavy status in the last edition, do very well out of the new Warhammer 40,000 (Orks also do pretty well here). Kitted out either for combat, shooting or a mix of both, this Dreadnought is going to wreck face. All of those weapons are looking like good options. There’s even a ranged weapon that kicks out mortal wounds – one of only a handful in the entire game. We think we’re veering towards a grav-flux bombard and hellforged siege drill as our favourite kit though. You budding Chaos Lords will have to decide for yourselves. And that’s just one unit in one of the two Forge World Index books accompanying the launch of the new edition. And there will be more Index books on the way very soon after for other Forge World Imperial as well as xenos units. We’ll be back tomorrow with a look at missions and objectives in the new edition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainA Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I think the pacing we have seen thus far has been that GW has had all this stuff in the works for a long time and needed to push it all out before 8th dropped. Thus the mad paced release of the 7th edition material. This is my conspiracy theory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
