What's in the box?
Every time GW release a new version of Warhammer 40K I immediately pledge not to get sucked in again. I have books that go back to the original Rogue Trader tome from 1987 and given I've only played the game a couple of times in the last decade (solo at that) it should be easy. But... then GW publish another new box set with another collection of fine sculpts and there goes this months spend.
There is no doubt, like countless others, I am addicted to the plastic crack that GW are pushing.
The latest box set proved no exception. It sold out in minutes on release in July and GW nearly had a customer relations disaster having promised that anybody who wanted one would get one. But GW are not the company they were ten years ago and within 48 hours announced that they would take orders for a few weeks and then do a second run.
Mine arrived last week and as is usual with GW the standards are very high.
The back reveals the potential for a moulded plastic Nirvana.
The GW Trolls like to tease with gorgeous cardboard sleeves before you reach the actual riches beneath!
Finally the heavenly sprues are revealed in all their intricate glory.
These are push fir models which GW have gradually been getting better at over the years. It does cut down the pose options but in general GW's figures are pretty much unique this doesn't matter. Hopefully a combination of quick assembly and the Contrast paints I drone on about incessantly will mean getting them to a table top won't take long. There are two armies Primaris Space Marines (as always) and Necrons.
In addition there is a scenario book:
And a limited edition version of the new rules:
Guess I'm off to the Grim Dark Future, again.
