For me this box is a whole new frostgrave 40k/ inq28 warband, one so pretty i don't even want to convert them. the marines are pretty awesome, and marines normally bore me (but fuck, that guy is riding a bike with a matreflipping hawk!)
i'll probably use them in something or just paint them up for the fun. Whther i play the deathwatch game is a second issue ,and i imagine most others will feel the same.
If they do bring out a mini dex then yeah, that's it, 40k has pulled me back in.

I give GW a golf clap for bringing out something nice that people want. It's not my own area of interest, but I do know there are plenty of people who have been waiting for Genestealer Cult stuff and will be drooling over these. Credit where credit's due and all that.

I think I will be getting this. Love the look of the figures and I missed the original Genestealer Cult stuff!

If the cultists are available separately, then I'm in - not withstanding that they've just ruined my plan to use the original Magus figure I have to fund my retirement

If they're only available as part of a box set, on the other hand, then I won't be buying. Fingers on all three arms crossed

I'm frankly stunned that they seem to be something... right?

Gene stealer cultists have long gone for stupid money. Golf clap indeed.

As someone who is currently trying to make a genestealer cult with chaos attributes and chaos armour etc, the advantage of plastic genestealers are not lost on me. These look really good too. The heads and rms are more dcompatible with the newer purestrains than the old ones presumably, but otherwise they re stylistically quite close to the original Goodwin/Olley sculpts. Presumably Goodwin had a hand in this new developement?

They do look like Jes Goodwin work? They are quite appealing.

Don't get me wrong, I won't buy them, as if; but still they are nice.

Well there's always some SM players who will buy the box only because of the Deathwatch... I guess you can bet to find them on E-Bay

I wonder, I'm hearing a lot more people voice interest in the Genestealers then the marines. Then again LAF is not a bastion of hardcore spacemarine fans, I think.

Elbows · « **Reply #4599 on:** February 24, 2016, 08:38:43 AM »

I think it's pretty simple...

One side in this box is a 20+ years out-of-print Oldhammer faction. The other is "Turn it to 11" styled Space Marines, something we've been literally awash in (the only benefit here is apparently they represent characters from a book or game, so they have some notoriety for Space Marine collectors) for a decade or more. I thoroughly imagine you'll see the Marines in droves on ebay after everyone picks up their copies.

I know numerous people planning on grabbing 2-3 boxes without any desire for the marines.

I do find it amazing that GW can put out hogwash that no one wants like Age of Sigmar then follow it up with an amazing quadruple whammy of Horus Heresy plastics, Starting Collecting! boxes, Genestealer Cult and the return of specialist games.

They might actually be financially capable as a company if they stopped doing dumb shit like AoS. They might actually start making profits year on year.

A bit more on topic: I don't think anyone's gonna want the SM from the Deathwatch box, so I'll be talking to a few Han friends to get some Genestealer stuff.

Vladimir Raukov · « **Reply #4601 on:** February 26, 2016, 08:07:13 AM »

What if they only released AoS so that people would flock to the deathwatch box, boosting their sales in 40k and giving them an excuse to end the fantasy stuff altogether? Doubt they would, but still...

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Deathwatch Overkill is out for pre-order - yours for a mere £100 - link

Too rich for my blood, even with a 20% discount. If the cultitsts turn up on their own at some point I'll get them, but there's no rush. It's not like I'm short of stuff to paint
