Great to see the Hellbrute is 8 parts - looks pretty easy to customise, e.g. with different heads, and not that difficult to convert to a different pose.

It's pretty laughable that the local reseller I'm getting mine from was told he couldn't ship till the 31st ensuring nobody actually has their starter set until at least 2 days after it is released meanwhile GW Direct is getting them to people 2 days early.



And then they tell us the reason they banned international sellers from selling to Australia is to support the FLGS , yeah right, real supportive GW .

Interceptor Drones can disembark at any point during the Sun Shark's move (even though models cannot normally disembark from Zooming Flyers).

That's beside the point, all I'm saying is that their words don't exactly align with their actions.



I'm content with the discounted price I'm getting without having to go overseas, just saying, cracking down on early releases by re-sellers and then releasing direct versions early doesn't exactly help the re-sellers flourish and form a strong community.

We'll find out soon enough eh.



False alarm chaps, they've not shipped anything.



I called this morning to get my tracking number, since their automailer never bothers to send it to me via email, and apparently the "we've shipped your product" emails go out automatically when the warehouse team package your order up to send, but in this case they're not actually sending them immediately as they normally would, they're just packing all the orders up in advance ready to send starting from midnight tonight.



The absolute earliest anyone will get them, according to the chap on the phone, is tomorrow if you paid for overnight. Which means I wasted a fiver on Express, because mine may well not show up until monday or tuesday. Super-annoyed now.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?

Just skimming through the starting guide and the data sheets there are no mentions of point values. It is almost like they are treating it as a stand alone box set or just waiting for the codex to come out and assign points.
