A second Codex with ~9 months of an edition to go is something I really hope we have moved past.

His heads are on the sprue with the Victrix Guard on, so makes it impossible to sell him separately without recutting the sprue (which seems extremely unlikely now he's got a separate dedicated kit)

I just went with them as the most recent example of "3 man elite space marine unit". But yeah, it's a marginally bigger kit that also builds wolves so probably why they're priced higher. Helsmiths of Hashut still widely available as well, but like everything we don't know how many units of any given set are being produced, and it's probably fair to assume that the demand for a Space Wolves-specific set will be lower than the demand for a chapter-neutral box that also doesn't have a Codex/Cards tax.

Came to ask the same thing - Vallejo having the packs listed on their site but no option to buy or release dates, and can't see any retailers listing them yet (not even for preorder)

Cheers, Calgar and Sicarius are what I expected but Victrix being the same price as Inner Circle Companions & Sanguinary Guard rather than Headtakers makes them a few quid cheaper per box than I thought they'd be.

Don't suppose you can point me to the pricing for the other releases? Got my name down for a Crux Terminatus box but might consider adding a couple of the Ultramarine sets depending on how the Victrix Guard are priced.

You can start a one-issue subscription from Newstand beginning at issue 59 (Boomdakka Snazzwagon) - the street date for this issue isn't until week after next mind, and Newstand are about a week behind so you can expect it around 23rd October

Well, this has my attention. I have a long-treasured bottle of Amethyst Purple I was thinking of cracking out for a do-over of my Drukhari, looks like this range might serve me better.

See there was me thinking 11th Edition being a reference to 3rd with Marines vs Drukhari was the obvious choice, but this is up the same nostalgia-baiting street. We're expecting redone Intercessors/Tactical Squad, Gretchin are one of the Ork units that need a do-over, Boyz are needed too (something that will allow you to build a full unit of Shootas or Slugga/Choppa so the old kit can finally be retired) so it all seems to line up with the 2E box. Chuck in a Captain posed like the old box art and maybe a new Deff Dread and you're most of the way there. Sure, I could believe that.

Underworlds Warbands are much smaller kits though - low model count, no optional builds. Every single one fits on 2x A6 frames. Wolf Scouts on the other hand will be 2x A5 frames per 5 like all other Space Marine line units so they're the same amount of plastic as the entire contents of Spitewood just by themselves. Think £75-£80 is going to be closer to the mark.

That's because units have predetermined loadouts in the Combat Patrol game to keep the rules as straightforward as possible, so naturally the magazine only gives the build instructions for that specific loadout.

I said something similar a long while back (probably in response to a previous GW price rise thread). GW putting a few quid on the price of a box of minis is much less of a factor in whether or not I can afford them than the increase in the cost of my household bills. Like I would have to be buying 2 Spearhead boxes a month for GW's price increases to affect me more than how much my council tax went up by.

Snazzy. Does make me wonder what's in the 11th Edition pipeline though, as Assault Terminators felt like a pretty logical inclusion.
