Aventine Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I guess the real tell would be when 2014 sprues start appearing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yeah, we should keep an eye. A 2012 or earlier 'new' sprue would be super interesting too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammul Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I assume everyone has seen it now but in case you haven't the set has been officially announced on the website. http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Sanctus-Reach-Stormclaw-EN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's a campaign box. They said they will be doing more of them. Kinda makes sense that is limited. It's not like it is the new starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 "How do we get people to buy more?" Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I think this box would sell well even without 'impending event' tactics. $250+ in stuff for 125 is a steal from GW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blustorm Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Went to the GW site to order and .... Availability: No Longer Available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yeah, it sold out from their website in record time. Try GG or another local. I suspect this will be like other items (crusade of fire) that sold out on the site but were readily available in stores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 White dwarf says next week is dark vengeance (no details, just the thing at the end of the magazine). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 For those who were concerned about the imbalance of the two factions in the set, White Dwarf addressed that. There are 3 missions. The first mission(Green Tide, Grey Fog) starts with just the Grey Hunters against all of the Ork infantry(no Killa Kans). The second mission(Fortress 26) is all the Wolves against just the Killa Kans(Krumpa's Killa Kans) and Gretchin unit(called Rustgob's Runts) The Killa Kans operate as individual models and both the Killa Kans and Gretchin mob can be 'recycled' into play if the Wolves completely wipe out those units. The third mission(Gofftown) is everything v. everything and using the formations. Grukk's Rippin' Krew have access to Grukk's tellyporta array which means they can all Deep Strike. Fierce-eye's Finest are an interesting one where once one unit in the formation has shot at or charged an enemy, successive units in the formation who choose the same target re-roll failed attempts to shoot or charge.

fluger Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I was really hoping for old school Orks vs Blood Angels as the box. Oh well. Orks have been in 2/5 starter boxes to date, so I can't complain too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blustorm Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I remember a guy at Bridgetown selling a 2nd ed. 40k boxed set to some kid, literally the weekend before 3rd ed. dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I bought up one from Games and Gizmos at some ludicrous price drop, but they were VERY up front about the new edition coming out, so I didn't feel gypped in the slightest.

WestRider Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Apparently GW's been doing a buyback from stores that still have the older version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Apologies, had to go train. Sold everything bar the Kanz, waiting on payment for those then they are gone too.The campaign book is very thin, bit of story covering part 2 of the red waaggh, 3 missions limited to whats in the box, the rules for the models are just whats in the box with things like named sargents.Wolves seem same points cost as the current codex. Note that points cost is for a fixed build, not a per model + upgrades in the campaign book, armoury only covers things allocated to units in the book.Wolves get:KromThe Fierce Eye's Wolf GuardHengist Grey HuntersEgil's Blood ClawsThe Fierce Eye's Finest Formation, basicly everything, gives furious charge if Krom still alive and re rolls to hit to whole formation if a single unit can hit something.Orks get:GrukkSkrak's NobzRustgob's RuntsKanxGrukks Ripping Krew formation, everything again, if Grukk on table, re roll failed morale, pinning and coward tests and everything can deep strike for turn one with out a reserve roll.Tiny preview for part 3, Sanctus Reach Hour of the Wolf.

pretre Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Re: Hour of the Wolf See the war for alaric prime spiral out of control. The space Wolves of Strike Force Stormclaw arrive, turning crushing defeat to bloody victory. Yet the Ors are far from beaten, and as the war reaches new heights of brutality, the fate of the whole planet hangs in the balance.And another one, managed to miss:Few skalds remember the sage of the sacrifice on Sacred Mountain. As the Red Waagh descends on the sanctus reach sector a last stand by seven grey hunters stalls the greenskins advance. An uneven contest, it is nonetheless the very stuff of legends.

pretre Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Like in the new ork codex all units come as dataslates, so it should be no problem using him as HQ. Maybe you can even "build" your own Krom with the current SW codex, but I don't have it to make sure. He costs the same as a Ironclad Dread his stats are 6/5/4/4/3/5/4/10, 3+. He is quipped with a Boltpistol,Frag and Krak grenads and the belt of russ (4++). also he has a wyrmtalon, his +2,AP2 mastercrafted axe. USR: ATSKNF,counterattack,furious charge,acute senses, stubborn. His warlord trait is (translated) "Saga of the born warrior": He has to make challenges and accept them whenever possible but can reroll all to hit rolls if he fights in a challenge. The rules for Krom are covered in the other post, so I'll give you those for Grukk: 5pts cheaper than Krom, 5/2/5/5/3/4/4/9,4+. He has a (excuse me if I don't properly translate the ork weapons, I don't know all their english names) combigun with bazooka, a squig that lets him reroll 1 to hit die in close combat, a bosspole and stikkbombz along with his special Gitripper, a x2,AP2, rending energy claw. USR are green horde, ere we go, furious charge, feel no pain and can call a Waagh. His warlor trait is "roaring tyran" which lets him and all friendly ork units in 12" reroll failed morale or pinning tests.Judging by the language issues, this seems to be a cut and paste reply from some other source, so its not as reliable as the guy actually having seen it Right I have the box set sat in front of me.The rules for Krom are correct.What I am worried about though is that the grey hunters don't have BP, BG and CCW as standard! By Russ I hope this isn't the case when the codex comes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
