Huh....Now it's very tempting to treat myself as a post degree reward.

Go on, do it. I bought the new 40k to fulfil a vow made to the gods* if I managed to get to the top (and again safely to the bottom) of Ben Nevis a couple of weeks back.

*take your pick.

Do it!

I caved and got some skeletons ,spirit hosts, dark oath chieftain and dungeon tiles instead. Planning on running heroquest with AoS minis.

That is a good idea.
Reward yourself for completing a task.
 

I went to the shop earlier for some milk and a paper, maybe I should order myself something as a reward for completing that task successfully.

That is what I told myself too!

Those new starter packs with tiles and card terrain are pretty much perfect products.

[Vindice]

My wife just bought me Space Hulk as a present just because.

That box as terrain is a great idea, it's not much but so much more than nothing!

[Andrew May]

Although looking again, those reivers all look like they're on high heels, wearing Halloween masks....

[JamesValentine]

Not sure on the reivers. But loving the captain, librarian and nurgle stuff

[nic-e]

What's that?! a 40k version of the storm of sigmar box with primaris marines and death card, a play mat and card scenery!?
OH GOD, I'M INDECENTLY EXCITED!

So there's a little ditbit of fluff that says cawl has possibly been using traitor genesede from the pre heresy days in his new creations. Do we know of any other sneaky, murdery, stealthy marines with a fondness for psychological warfare?......

I just dont 'get' them.
Weird dress sense aside, why would you send out a marine with the 40K equivalent to a spud gun and a potato peeler?


I do like that Librarian, though.

Just a theory but....
You send them along the abandoned and forgotten trench lines outside the besieged hive, under the enemy radar. They get into the hive through the old transport gate.The guards don't hear them coming, They were looking for charging giants, Not ghosts in armour.

Then they start.every night, more and more sentries are found strung from the spires, more soldiers are found dead in their barracks and more men are reporting skull faced assassins hiding in the shadows. Before you know it that traitor hive isn't looking out from its walls to the imperial armies, it's eating itself alive trying to find and kill the spectres that have kept them awake for 3 weeks with gunshots and screams in the dark...


Where a scout is recon and assassination, these guys look to be more terror and destabilisation.



On an unrelated note, GW finally remmebered that scenery is the best past of the hobby and started putting paper playmats and cardboard scenery in it's boxes. I'm going to be having that mini starter box on release day and pasting the mat onto a piece of board, then adding some shadow wars scenery for a 2x2 skirmish board.
I'm really excited for 40k, it's nice.

The Reivers (while a fine concept) look pretty daft with regards to posing...and as Andrew mentioned their "dynamic" posing apparently means raising the heel of one boot.

I think the other products in general are home-run ideas (mainly for their retail stores and getting kids/new players into the hobby).  I'm waiting to see how comprehensive the rulebook is from, say, "Know no Fear".  I'd like a trimmed down rulebook (basically everything MINUS the fluff).  So if one of these kits includes that I'll be hunting for one on eBay.
