The limited edition Necron codex has something new on the cover right? Otherwise it's shaping up as 2 (nice) resculpts, 2 models everyone already has from 9th, overlord with a new hat and the CP box full of models everyone already has from 9th.

And DICE!!! Everyone LOVES dice, right?

I'd buy more GW dice if they were smaller!! Big dice are fine but in a game that can easily have you rolling 20-30 dice I want to have dice I can hold in my hand

I'd buy more dice if... they were available for more than five seconds.

That said, in my opinion Necrons didn't get nice dice yet. These are the first ones I might feel tempted to buy, so for me they're definitely worth mentioning. GW should have shown more dice and less packaging, though.

Oh the dice are great. Best part was when they reduced the amount of dice by 25% but kept the price the same. Bargain!

Not to doubt you, but if the price stayed the same at the time, it sure didn't for long. Regardless of quantity, price of dice leapt up by a hilarious amount over the last few years.

Yea price per dice has actually went DOWN. Less dice, less price, cost of individual dice down. At least in euro's.

Unusual move for GW to actually lower unit cost

20 Hedonites dice in '21 were 25€ (like the dice packs for the second 8th ed Marine codex/supplements a little earlier). The latest Marine dice are 16 for 23€. That doesn't sound like price went down per die.

I was more talking about the difference to the price of dice packs prior to GW's Brexit price hike bonanza. I don't have any with the price tag still attached but I'm fairly sure they were markedly below 20€.

I like the previous Necron dice. Got two sets of them.

AdMech Detachments article today.

I like the Explorator setup:

Seems kind of rubbish?

I guess there's some possibility of castling up on an objective to spread the buff. But otherwise what? You are giving reroll 1s to wound to 1-2 units you have on a given objective - or when shooting 1-2 enemy units on a given objective.

From the company that thinks Eldar having a reroll to hit and wound on every unit is reasonable?

The Lieutenant with Combi-Weapon has something similar, and he's a top pick for SM characters rn.

It feels about right in terms of power imo. Usually as a rule of thumb you've got your big guns on your backfield obj or your key threats on an objective you need to take, so it makes sense you'll get good value from it. Even then this is also the same company that maybe now regrets giving eldar a free reroll per unit, which is obviously apples to oranges compared to reroll all 1's with a condition.

Context is everything. SMs get multiple additional rules that usually buffs everything they have and then they can spend a measly 70pt for this perk. I am not saying it is a bad benefit, but it is when it is the entire detachment bonus.

Though that sure is better than the Index one so... yay.

God forbid people have a little fun speculating.

When we at Dakka speculate, SpikeyBits and Taco BoLS salivate for content.

I just don't see how reroll 1s either on a couple of units - or against a couple of units (and potentially just one) is a good trade off versus so many "faction wide" abilities of a kind we've seen in SM and Tyranid Codexes, never mind the old indexes.

Giving Robots Doctrina Imperatives also feels decidedly weak. (Its unclear why every Ad Mech unit can't have this relatively modest ability, regardless of the fluff.)

I'm left wondering if Ad Mech are "tuned" to have poor detachment abilities.
Which isn't exactly promising for Dark Eldar...

Imo it beats 1st company detachment benefits, there's plenty of detachment and army rules out there which are based on battleshock which basically means they don't most of the time, this one is a little niche but people pay points for it in other armies, it's really not that bad. The dream should be that other armies come down in power, not that admech catapult up.

Did we get prices today for this stuff?

Link?

That’s something I’d like to bookmark instead of waiting for others to get around to reposting.

Edit: Preferably the US $ prices if they are in different spots. Or the search terms people use to locate the info.

Here is their trade-portal:
https://trade.games-workshop.com/resources/

Guidance Docs -> Order Forms -> Pricelist

You can change the country and language in the top right but as far as I know US doesn't get price lists there.
But you can still get the UK/EU lists and compare on the webstore to find out US prices

Select your region, then click on Guidance Docs then Order Forms.

The exact layout and file names vary by region.

Thanks!

That's the ticket!

$38 for the Skatros and Overlord, $45 for Orikan and Imotekh.

Lol, a super fast grot for 40 pts, that can spam up to 12 mortal wounds per turn, averaging 6. Charge a single marine squad and he's more than paid for himself.

Can't see him on the store though?

Because it's not available yet, hence why the article doesn't link to a store page for it.

Necrons and Adeptus Mechanicus pre-orders are delayed in OZ/NZ.

It was a surprise delay, as WarCom didn't call it out in advance like they normally do.

At this point they only need to call it out if they aren't delayed

Are there any Datasheet cards for the new 10th ed Adeptus Mechanicus Codex?

Not this week:

Am I the only one who collapsed in a fit of laughter on seeing this beauty?

Don't worry, they will be here "sooner than you think!" (R)(TM)(C)
