You already bought right right anon?
I really don't like the model. and I have over 7k points in space marines(black templars). I get that its a play off an old model, that is probably the only thing cool about it to me. But yeah, no interest, I'd rather spend money on betrayal at calth and some alpha legion stuff from forgeworld.
>>46707925
No, I've already sold my soul to the mechanicuck taghmata, no going back baby
I can't add it to my cart, is it already sold out?
Scalper here, just bought two and put them on ebay for £50 each, starting.
>>46708109
Are you American? There webstore is kinda wonky. It'll probably become available around noon time
>>46708326
Ya, Canadian. That might be it, thanks.
>>46708281
i hope you get anally violated by a rabid daschund.
>>46708281
Fuck off and die cunt.
>>46708281
£50?
Christ mang, theyre going to be there for a long time since theyre already being sold +80p on ebay.
Why would I bother if I can just get a recast from based chinaman for 5-7 USD?
>>46707925
I got two, one for me and one for eventual trade fodder (still trying to get a 25th anny marine)
>mfw the same guy puts up like 5 or 6 marines painted to be sold
>When it just started to be sold
I see some devious store owner is making illegal money.
>>46707925
I love that it's wearing tit armor on its knees
>>46708695
they copied it from that ridged armor plate that used to be popular.
I disliked it when it was the norm on every marine but I actually approve of it on this model since it doesnt become overwhelming on a single model.
and I want like 30 of the guns to use as combi gravs.
>>46708695
>tit armor
>armor that GW took from historical imagery(I know, I know)
Please, withhold such retarded commentary.
>>46708621
Hes 80 AUD from Bitzgalaxy on the Aussie ebay
>>46707925
>company that's gone to shit over the last two decades selling memories of when it was good
Eh, it's actually a pretty cool model, but that makes me sad.
>>46707925
The price and the waac-inspired special snowflake rules make this model some pretty faggy shit. I'll consider thus a red flag and def steer clear of any retard thats using it.
>>46708875
Yeah, I ain't paying that shit, I'm just gonna offer a 30th for a 25th.
>>46708884
wait, this thing actually has rules?
I thought it was just display.
How should I paint this little Nigga when he comes?
The only SM army I have is Grey Knights, who don't have beakies...
Are other Canadians unable to buy this thing on the web store? Are our leafbucks that worthless now?
>>46708884
>>46708916
Well I only bought him for display purposes so there's that
I don't even own a SM army but I like his design very much
>>46709262
Copy that, fellow canuck, I too am unable to purchase at this time
>>46707925
it looks shit, the rules are good i guess but i would rather convert something that dosnt look like an old chaos warrior
>>46709291
It's marked as sold out on the webstore in the UK.
Bought it on ebay for 22 pounds postage included.
>>46708916
lol yeah, it's rule is
"may replace any other space marine" - free
he has an instant death gun.
This free upgrade can insta death tyranids monsters, lol
>>46709312
jebus.
Is it at least really short range?
>>46709329
yes, you still need to hit and wound mind you
>>46709329
its rapid fire and a combi that never runs out
>>46707925
Yep, I bought it this morning.
>>46707925
Nah, got a haul of Darksword minis instead.
I'd buy that guy if he wasn't so stupidly expensive.
>>46709333
still, a tac squad shouldnt be able to take out hive tyrants with a lucky roll.
>>46709329
Here are the rules
>>46709370
a model with an 18" gun is never going to hit a flyrant anyways
>>46709310
I preordered it at 12 pm because the local GW cunt has definitely stashed a ton out back to sell on eBay
If I got the email giving order number does that mean I'm okay even though it's sold out now
>>46709378
oh boy instant death pistols.
This fucker is a monster considering he can be dropped in to anything for free.
>>46709395
shit happens. and for some reason most of our local nids players aren't too bright when it comes to positioning.
>>46709400
Yeah I think so, you should be okay. Generally speaking GW's customer service is absolute topnotch.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure many store owners were keeping to jackup the prices, which is highly illegal, and really fucking bad ethically speaking.
On the fb page a guy was ralking about the Glasgow GW manager that has called dibs on 50% of the orders to then seel them higher. Like, no man, there are laws about that.
>>46709312
>>46709329
There is literally no god damn fucking reason for any Space Marine player to not use this model.
It's an instant free fucking upgrade.
It replaces any other bog standard marine for free.
It's how they convinced people to buy this fucking ugly, blocky piece of shit.
>>46709452
Look st eBay this cunt has them at 50 quid each and more than 10 available
That's 320 quid profit minus postage of 50 quid per 10 models
Reminds me of the cunts who own plumbing companies - they get free iPads etc for every 10 boilers they buy and don't give them to staff they sell em
>>46709534
some of us like the model.
It is far too expensive, but shit, what isn't in minis these days?
>>46709553
Work for a company that doesn't suck dick, we get freebies at work all the time, and I don't even work at a good shop.
>>46709534
Ugly, blocky? It's a reimagining of the og space womble model, you fucktard. But you're entitled to an opinion.
You're right about the rules though.
>>46707925
Meh, I got it for free by pre ordering that dual knight game thingy set.
>>46709262
I'm American; there's nothing on the webpage to even indicate its sold out. No button to add to cart, no SOLD OUT box, nothing.
>>46709765
Probably hasn't went on sale yet lad
In the UK there was nothing until 10am, then it went up for sale, and had the sold out logo after w couple of hours
>>46709814
Currently 12:52pm EST here in north 'murica, no go yet
>>46709814
I feel like we're far enough along into the day that it should be, especially since it's advertised pretty prominently on the front page too.
>>46709765
Refreshed the page and I get a Limited Edition GW 404
Might be gone forever then.
>>46709534
>>46709534
>uhglee model eeeewww

>you're right about the rules though
Some like it visually, that's opinion
Most like it for the nostolgia(myself include), nostalgia makes everything better, that's a fact.
And if you haven been spoonfed this information I'll do it for you yunggin'
That space marine is a remodel of the derpy 80's metal space marine from like...'89(IIRC?)
>>46709917
They're open in pre-orders, GO GO GO GO!!
>>46709917
This happened just before being put on sale for brits
>>46709958
>>46710065
Just got 6, comes with a free one too.I play Guard, I totally plan on selling these for double
>>46710190
You chucklefuck.
>tfw GW store in my city had a neat little event with food and stuff for the celebration
I got a cute little Space Marine pin included too, though I thought GW also included a small poster of that image with the original RT Marines art along with the rules. Oh well.
The model itself is cool as fuck. I'm gonna use the pistol as an Archeotech pistol in 30k, and the helmet seems fully capable of being modded onto another model.
8/10 might go get another later
>>46709534
Or you can model it with a straw and some grenn stuff, for $0.25.
I like the model
I dislike the price
I hate the special rules that demonstrate that GW takes its "rules and fluff are secondary" principle to heart.
At least it's not a fuckhueg (and ugly) fig like the ones they tend to make nowadays.
>>46708281
>Guaranteed_replies.bmp
10/10
Just bought 2 of them. 1 to keep in the box forever, and 1 to recast/paint.
If you guys don't like the model or price just glue a knife to a beaky, because you're going to want this unit in your army.
How the hell are people selling it painted on ebay already.
>>46712188
No lad, fuck off. The rules call for the anniversary model, not your cheap, shitty conversion.
Cut this shit out.
>>46710315
I got two little posters with mine. RT art. Real funky, did not expect it.
One of them was this one, my all time favorite bit of classic art. I honestly did not notice the "Call me Cobalt" etched on the main dudes pad before.
>>46713348
Fuck off, having the official model has never been an issue and conversions has always been a big part of the hobby.
>>46713238
Dumb fucker check delivery date - they have more than enough time to paint them up after getting them today
>>46712188
This is what I'm doing, not going to include this dive-suit looking fucker just for nostalgias sake, I'd rather model him up as a veteran with heresy-era armour.
>>46713348
[citation needed]
>>46715335
I wouldn't let you use it in a game unless it has the official gun. All this stick a straw on a combi weapon nonsense isn't going to fly.
Already got one
>>46715465
It's ok, you don't sound like the kind of person I'd want to play against anyway. :)
>>46715521
And the same to you mate. I respect conversions but you're just cheesing for an advantage.
WYSIWIG is important so that your opponent can easily identify what's what in the heat of the battle.
You're probably the same kid who made jetbikes by sticking guardians to triangles cut from cereal boxes.
>>46715465
I'd use greenstuff, bolter parts and guitar wire to make it look as much like the original as possible, though without the bayonet.
>>46715582
No problem with that at all.
I bought it in store, last box there.
>>46713348
>support official model
>faggots complain about ID and free "overpowered" upgrade
>tell them you can use a conversion
>faggots with entitlement complain about not having the actual model
Just be honest and admit you're a whiny faggot who just likes to complain.
>>46715565
Who's saying I wouldn't make it wysiwyg?
Or are you the kind of player who refuses to play against combi-weapons made from Bolters and Plasma Pistols?
>>46715282
HEARD YOU TALKING SHIT
FAGGOT
>>46715465
People are already saying they won't even let people use it in the game WITH the official model so your threat holds little water.
>>46715666
Diving suits are god tier warjacks and in themed armies, but not as 1 random fucker in an army with a knight theme.
>>46715565
I'm going to take this guy's gun and glue it on the plainest model and make it as hard to find as possible, just to satisfy your arbitrary WYSIWYG requirements yet still defeat the purpose of your asshattery.
>>46715565

Daily reminder that moot was right about EU and AU posters.
>>46715717

Even better, cast it and sell it as cheaply as possible on ebay. :^)
>>46715855
Good idea, GW has definitely never taken legal action against hobbyists
>>46715985
Yeah, that's why you never see recast warhammer models on Ebay anymore.
Oh wait...
>>46708281
i bought 4 in total from my 2 FLGS, and 1 from gw
>>46716036
I guess because something is on eBay GW is ok with it :^) my mistake
>>46716285
It really shows they're doing a smashing job of taking down recasters. :^)
>>46716333
Exactly, so recast the limited marine guns and resell them as much as you like! Nothing bad will happen at all :^)
>>46716378
Already in the process of doing it, only a few guys in town got the model so I'm casting up the entire sprue for them, might make a separate sprue of just the gun to make the process easier.
Did the same thing with the 25th anniversary Crimson Fist. my recasts ended up better than the real thing, though that's not really saying much.

Is that it? No more imperial marine for the rest of the weekend?
>>46716589
Glad I woke up early to buy it at 10 AM. Just buy one on eBay. Should be about the same price.
>>46716638
I got there at 1pm and they were almost out.
Snagged one for myself, had a chat with the guy at the register, and watched some slimeball slide in behind me with like six in hand.

This guys an idiot. There are groups you can join and after a while if you're good you can do your own shit using their same methods once learned on your own.
I managed to buy one from a store, you guys think anyone will try to stop me from using the guy in a CSM army?

You might as well put grav centurions in your CSM army.
>>46714583

>>46717406
no, the guy at the register gave them to me
>>46715208
Nah, I see what he means, as I said above, I saw several painted already in different chapter colours.
Willing to bet it's some shady store owners that opened them in advance to paint them and sell it for personnal benefits.
Such absence of ethic is beyond me. And the law.
>>46719681
>Such absence of ethic is beyond me
GW stopped supporting tournaments because people would say they were running a tournament then steal the prize support and $200 webstore vouchers that GW gives to them for free that are supposed to be given to the winners and using it for themselves.
That's why I always laugh when people whine about GW. You guys are even worse than they are.
>>46719727
>Implying GW ever sent indie tournaments prize bundles.
lel
>>46719727
It's about commercial ethic you dimwit. Could be any other hobby company that I would care just the same.
This hobby is probably where I hear the most about stores owner trying to abuse the client and/or the higher ups.
The fact that fat neckbeards jack off to their petty crimes because they think they're some kind of badass for abusing either a company or other people just trying to enjoy the hobby is quite sad.

>>46721471
You'd be okay with someone using it if they bought the model and puts it in a hard to beat super cheese army?
>>46720370
I'm painting my imperial marine as field police, and he'll be hunting down illegal tech-heresies such as these.
>>46720370
I'd only accept this is he put it on the left hand.
>>46721624
I keep forgetting this guy is left handed. IT LOOKS SO WEIRD NOW AND I CAN'T UNSEELEFTIES GET OUT REEEEEE
>>46721765
He's wielding a regular combi-melta but it gains infinite instant death bullets because he's left-handed.
You see he gains all this power from simply being left-handed Note the cherry-red glow from all the power emitting from his left hand.
>Forgot it was coming out today
>Sold out already
>Fuck
At least I still have the original metal one to play with the new rules.
>>46722388
Pop by a local GW shop tomorrow. If you're lucky, it hasn't been scalped. The prints are worth the trip, if nothing else.

Blame the scalpers. I had to buy one off ebay, and I just wanted one for myself.
So I was up at 10 am uk time yesterday and could have bought one to scalp on eBay, but I didn't, simply chose not to.
Now they are on eBay for £50 as the going rate.
Please someone tell me I did the right thing... or by me not scalping one, did this allow another scalper to get my hyperthetical one as opposed to letting someone who scincerely wanted one get it.
Yep, I come to 4chan to get my moral support.
>>46726342
You technically fucked up.
>if i let those jews stay that would help them hide from the nazis
>but that puts me in danger.....
>i'm sure someone else will take care of them
By not scalping them and ebaying them at price plus shipping you allowed a scalping to rip someone off horribly even though you just assumed you actually let someone else more deserving have a better chance at it.
>>46726472
Aren't they more available to scalpers when listed on eBay as they're the ones most likely checking prices?
>>46726472
Aye to >>46726522
This wouldn't have stopped a scalper buying my fair priced listing and selling it for double themselves.
I'd be reduced to finding someone to buy it and forcing them to open it and remove from sprue in front of me. And THEN who's the Nazi?
>>46726576
Well the hitler scalpers are. You're just doing a necessary yet lesser evil. Now go tackle some grognard and pin him down while you duct tape the box to his hands.

>>46727200

The rules are specifically for this fig though, they aren't in a codex or add-on. They are literally just for this specific model.
>>46709581
>It is far too expensive, but shit, what isn't in minis these days?
non-gw? I can buy a box set in metal for cheaper from warlord, I like the mini too but having been gone so long paying £18.00 seems much, especially for plastic...they shoulda done metal mang.
>>46709452
Link?
I'm guessing that since they promised a free one with orders over 100 quid they only set a few aside for direct purchase - once they know how many they have to contractually give then they may release the rest in flash sales or Warhammer events
On the plus side the apocrypha book is not going to be out of stock in ebook form
Just sucks that ePub3 format is shit on the newer longer iPhones
Just looked around on various shops and managed to get the marine and apocrypha for 60 euro. Would have been nice if geedubs hadn't done such a retardedly limited amount of them in the first place.
>>46727200

>>46727707
I told you to go back to you marmachine containment thread
>>46727735
Why? Those threads are shit.
>>46707925
It's a cool figure. I love the '80s, and beakies are the only mehreens that actually look good. I'm still not paying $30 for a single man-sized plastic figure. Fuck that. If I want it badly enough, I'll buy from glorious chinaman and feel zero guilt about it.
The collectors and scalpers are out of control, and the market is not sustainable. Who else remembers the '90s comic book scene, when a dozen "first issues" came out every month, and everything was poly-bagged and had multiple covers? None of that shit held any value when the bubble popped and the market returned to sanity. Paying the sticker price on this fig is ridiculous enough; paying some scalper's markup just retarded.
'80s Citadel figs have some collectible value because they were cheap, disposable trash that kids could afford, and that most didn't bother to preserve, especially in their original packaging. The kids grew up, and some became "collectors" and used their adult money to recapture some childhood nostalgia. That's why there's a halfway-decent secondary collectors' market for old Citadel. Those factors don't apply to figs coming out today.
>>46707925
Is there anywhere to get the Index Astartes Apocrypha?
I got two of the Imperial Space Marine but did not realize that the book was being sold on the same day.
>>46727828
>Those factors don't apply to figs coming out today.
I mostly agree with you but the figs of today are all plastic (or recently finecrap) which means a lot of them are getting ruined by kids.
Yeah sure there are scalpers and neckbeards hoarding them away but every time someone pops one of these and paints it they drop the value to almost nothing. The old figs could be dropped in acetone and look good as new, even if you can get most of the paint off a plastic fig you usually end up with staining and that ignores how well the previous owner managed to glue the thing together with plastic glue.
>>46727828
This, I think this whole debacle may be the tipping point, people acting crazy and scalpers everywhere.
They are being squeezed out of the old hammer community which is good, if gw went full merchant and announced they'd be making the new model non-limited id applaud them.
>>46709452
>>46727249
What happened at glasgow was weird, they had about 30 for regular sale then kept about 40 at the checkout which were there for free if you dropped £100 in the shop. I know that was always part of the deal but they definitely held back too many, there was about 50 odd people queued up before opening even.
>>46727904
You make a good point - plastic is inarguably more fragile and destroyable than lead, and that will help the oversupply issues the collectors' market is going crash into.
Still, how many of these limited super-special edition investment-grade figures are being carefully filed away without being opened in the idiotic hope that they'll pay for some sucker's retirement? I'd bet my right arm it's a hell of a lot more than '80s Citadel blister packs ever were, and those are still not even all that valuable.
>>46727418
yall dont seem to understand that just because GW is super expensive, doesnt mean that the other manufacturers aren't making shitloads as well.
>>46728027
>Still, how many of these limited super-special edition investment-grade figures are being carefully filed away without being opened in the idiotic hope that they'll pay for some sucker's retirement? I'd bet my right arm it's a hell of a lot more than '80s Citadel blister packs ever were, and those are still not even all that valuable.
It's definitely something we're going to see unravel with time, but I think that a lot of these figures will see a small appreciation in value. In 2005 I bought a couple extra of the limited GD fig to resell and help cover the cost of my ticket (possibly makes me a terrible person but it was event only and not everyone could go). I sold them at £25 each and even today they haven't appreciated past that point, they do still sell for more than the 7 or 8 quid they were at GD though. The GW collectors market has never really been a strong long term proposition.
>>46728043
I've nothing against profit but this latest thing is emblematic of GW.
If they had of made it not limited edition the could have sold it for cheaper as success for plastic sprues is long term sales, otherwise it should have been a metal mould.
>>46728282
they haven't made metal for years
>>46728231
idk, I have a few full sets of NIB Diaz seekers.
Those are worth a hell of a lot more than I paid for them.
>>46728302
You could say the same about old school beakies with death rays.
The thing with plastic is volume is key so it would make sense to now have a plastic sprue as limited edition, metal moulds are far cheaper which is why one-off figures at wargames shows are often in metal.
It would have been a nice nostalgia thing...but instead we have a plastic mini that's overpriced and probably took an afternoon to design on CAD.
>>46728472
consider aluminium mould tooling costs are significantly lower for short run plastics and the fact that everywhere sold out of these in about an hour and I don't think they're that bothered
>>46728528
Therein lies the fucked up thing, GW willsuffer no repercussions as fanboys and scalpers will keep them afloat.
>>46726737
Good for them and their miniscule profit. They have the moral high ground.
>>46730170
It costs £3 to send a small packet so they actually lost money

Sure they can
>>46731408
The chapter tactics part causes some issue but the way to fix that is obvious.
>>46731408
Considering on the Webstore he shows up under the Dark Angel, Blood Angels, and Grey Knights tabs (but not Chaos, or Khorne Daemonkin, or any other faction), I'd say yeah
I feel like this is how shit is going to go back at my local gw

DA are loyalists though. I mean, I don't really read the fluff but I'm pretty sure of that at least.
>>46733163
It doesn't look enough like the official gun. It's not a bad effort and I wouldn't stop you using it but I wouldn't blame anyone who told you no.
>>46733464
I was literally once allowed to use a monkey from a barrel of monkeys glued to a stand for a Jakero.
>>46733464
It's as close as it needs to be really, looks more functional with a bolter mag too. Saying that as someone who got the official model as well.
>>46720370
That looks fucking awful. no better than 'my flamers are actually meltas'

>The games workshop had a very talented sculptor create a tiny figurine of a Space Marine. I thought it was amazing but I decided to design them the way I thought they should look, bulky and covered with power armour. I wanted the Marines to be as terrifying and imposing as possible at the time. These Marines had to face incredible foes and I came up with the idea of them being really bulked up on chemicals and larger than the average human. I’m not sure if I ever explained that concept to anyone at the Games Workshop, but they loved the direction of the illustrations and I just kept going.
Really wish I could get some prints or something. I would honestly spend so much money if GW sold more RT art prints like the ones they gave away on the 30th marine anniversary.

Your scenario is stupid and shows why you're a fucking faglord (who plays Tau no less).
What will really happen:
>ABLOOBLOO I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO USE THAT
>Okay it's just a regular space marine then we won't use the new rules. If you're that upset I'll even swap him out for an actual space marine model.

limited edition... only available since 1988 and has an average ebay price of around $1.
>>46733133
I play Eldar and even I think you're being unreasonable. It's 1 dude. He dies like any marine.
>>46742580
Yeah this model is a great litmus test for who's a faggot and who's not. I don't know why I'm so surprised there's so many stupid faggots on /tg/.
It's literally a free plasma gun but worse. Gets hot, less range, less strength. And the ID only matters against cheesy units like Riptides. Nobody cares if it IDs an enemy one or two wound model.

And yet, Taufags are baffled and offended when somebody says they don't want to play against them.
>>46733133
>literally one model
>that can be killed as easily as any other space marine model
>whines about one model enough to play tau and say his opponent is the whiner when he gets beaten
Taufags, every time
I think I have the original of this figure somewhere. Some years ago GW would have put a model like this on the front of their magazine for free, now they artificially limit it just to charge a premium. It makes absolutely no sense with a plastic miniature. I'm sure they could have made 4-5 times as many and charged half the price and made a lot more.
I think GW are just expensive for the sake of looking 'premium'.
>>46745116
I'd understand if it was 24" or didn't have Gets Hot, but honestly everyone who complains about this thing has to either be a hyper paranoid cheeselord or just some really bad fucking player.
War Convo gets free super guns on everything and marines get free transports on everything but one free shitty plasma is worth all this fuss?
>>46746697
>I think GW are just expensive for the sake of looking 'premium'.
They literally stated this in their shareholder report. It was something like they want to be/think they are the Ferrari of wargaming so "price appropiately".
Branding and pricing higher than something is worth is a real business tactic. It's how all supercar companies work and how luxury handbag companies work. If you make the price too low, it actually turns off some customers. Like Apple and Coca-Cola, they price higher than they need to.
>>46747025
Problem is GW are not making super cars and its going to bite them in the arse.
Nobody but scalpers would be turned off if they actually released things at a comparable price to similar kits.
Doesn't stop their idiotic fanboys claiming they HAVE to charge that much though, I have been called 'insane' for pointing out other companies make kits of better quality for 25% of the price per model or less. As if it was impossible to make a profit without charging £3.50 for a hideous monopose dwarf.
>>46745116
>Taufags, every time
I bought this SOLELY for the chance to instant-death Riptides or Ghostkeels.
>>46747543
anyone who puts a riptide on the board deserves to have it one shotted by a free space marine
>>46747516
sometimes there are decent deals though, like the two knights box for $155 w/ some scenery (std 20% off), or the genestealer cult box that's got some great sculpts and that i've been waiting for since 1989.
thankfully they don't run tournaments and most people don't give two shits about proxies as long as they aren't full retard.
>>46750020
Most of the deals are only good in comparison to their normal prices though.
The knight box is surprisingly good I admit, I just don't think knights should be in normal 40k. Apocalypse started this nonsense but nobody seems to play it, they just play big games of normal 40k.
>>46750146
>The knight box is surprisingly good I admit, I just don't think knights should be in normal 40k. Apocalypse started this nonsense but nobody seems to play it, they just play big games of normal 40k.
I agree. Epic works far better for this. Doesn't surprise me that GW canned it when you see similar size armies in 40k now.
>>46750273
They never really canned it, there is just no reason to play it because GW allows the big stuff in normal 40k.
>>46733133
Wow, did you teach him a lesson for wanting to use one little t4 model? You couldn't beat him with tactics or skill? Instead you had to bust out your hammer list to make a point? Bring that triptide 2 surge list arounf here and I would eldar the fuck out of you. Give you a taste of your own medicine.
>>46733163
I like the weapon and rules- not a fan of the mini. Thanks, going to follow your tut to create my own imperial marine. Probably use mk2 or mk3 armor.
>>46750990
>They never really canned it, there is just no reason to play it because GW allows the big stuff in normal 40k.
they stopped producing epic minis well before the knight kit
>>46752894
Epic is going to be in production again in the near future and the game will be ran by FW for rules and models. Epic is after bloodbowl I think for revival
>>46753242
>Epic is going to be in production again in the near future and the game will be ran by FW for rules and models. Epic is after bloodbowl I think for revival
It is supposedly due a reboot, but in it's current status it isn't supported by GW at all. You can't buy any minis for it from them. Nearly everyone who plays Epic plays NetEpic, usually with proxy minis from third party manufacturers.
It's also a much better game than 40k for these large scale battles. It relies on actual tactics and not just buying the most overpowered flavour of the month.
it's 4.50$ from recasters. so... that's that then
>>46753651
>being this WAAC that you'll rip off a limited figure for a tabletop advantage
>>46756177
I'll buy one to paint up.
I would have bought from GW, but their limited edition mini, to be sold across two days, to celebrate their biggest line's 30th Birthday sold out in about 25 minutes.
Which means, they made about 1000
so it means you either buy one for £50 off a scalper.
or you buy a £3 off chinaman.
GW have no one but themselves to blame.
>>46756177
Not only am I going to use it for an advantage, I'm going to use it in this formation to get the most out of the gun.
>>46756177
not that guy, but I don't play space marines and i do like the model. so damn straight i will buy it for $5.
>>46757622
Is there not a GW within reaching distance of you or something?
>>46757850
that sold out instantly too?
>>46757865
GW opens at 10AM. How hard is it to get to somewhere for 10AM on a Saturday?

It's a modern remake of this lad.
All this rage over this one "WAAC" model and nobody cares about those absolutely ridiculous psychic powers that were released to ALL space marines.
>>46761345
>absolutely ridiculous psychic powers
Did you ever play Second Edition? I flipped through the only pack of those cards my store received, and many of them come directly from the decks included with Dark Millennium.
Space Marines were allowed to draw from three different decks back then!
>>46762091
Didn't 2E have wargear cards and stuff too? Fucking Warmahordes copying GW!
