Although to be fair the Mk6 sprues are some of the most stingy product GW has ever made, from the size of the sprues they look like GW crammed an infantry kit into an Aeronautica production slot or something.

Unfortunately true, yes.If they had used the same resources as in the older HH plastic marks (3 full sprues instead of one and a half), they would have been glorious.

I feel like some less Bolt pistol holsters and a HB / ML and PG /Flamer would've gone a long way to endear it more, since then you could feasibly also run the squad out of the box as 2 veteran squads.

Cutting holsters would have driven me crazy, particularly due to the rather unique appearance of thr mk6 holsters. It's not as if it comes with extras, unless you build a sergeant with a plasma pistol and even then I want a holster for that as well even if I have to cut out the grip myself.

TBF the idea of the kit seems to have been to avoid that so people starting out wouldn't just run Pride of the Legion and play their HH armies like 40k Marines. It was a big problem in our group when BaC came out that almost everyone was running PotL because they built the MkIV's with Special and Heavies because they all thought HH Tacticals were the same as 40k. It made for extremely boring games where everyone basically used the exact same list despite having the potential to take different units and RoW.

And here I am playing pride of the legion......

Mystic Grotsnik predicts HH Wave 2 will be next weekend’s pre-orders, as that should coincide with the most common, end of the month, pay dates.

Mystic Grotsnik also predicts “one of everything” to come in around £250-£300.

Mystic grostnik ?
Can you also give us answer to the question if the rumor is accurate for the Predators to come in bundles?`

I mean, fair enough from that perspective but it would've been better if that was just an option provided as a goodie for players.
Also it would've been dead easy for players to just get another box of marines and create enough special / normal dudes to stand in and make the squads modular for list building.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

On the Bundled Predators, Mystic Grotsnik regrets to involve he doesn’t have a scooby.

It doesn’t seem impossible….but does seem…unlikely.

There are other things desirable to take in Squadrons (such as Contemptors) with no associated rumour of a bundle set.

Mystic Grotsnik would like it to be true for his nascent Ironwing, but advises not to get your hopes up.

I think with how much focus it's been getting on community, it's more likely to be the new Warcry box next week.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

We might get a 'web bundle' comprising the ability to click once to pick up multiple individual boxes for no discount

no change of a big box with several cheaper Preds in

**Not Online!!!**

Grumbles.
Atleast over here the Deimos Rhino is a casual 11.50 CHF cheaper than the SoB rhino... 20 % infact...
Which is hillarious.

**skeleton**

I for one like how they did it.
box of 20 marines, and then the special and heavy weapon boxes.

And mebbe some of those missing Chaos cultists...

**hotsauceman1**

Honestly i like it.
TBH, 42$ for all those weapons allow so much compared to the 25$ weapons for 10 of just oneweapons.

Just an aside, are monthly pay packets the norm in the UK?

There are generally 24/26 pay periods in the US in a year, with strong movement towards paying people weekly or even following their shift in the case of hourly work at larger employers. I'm impressed with the planning prowess and patience of those of you across the pond.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

As someone who works in payroll, monthly is the most standard. Although you do get weekly, bi-monthly, 4 weekly etc. But they're normally smaller companies that run those.

I've never been paid any other way than "monthly" (or monthly with two "extra" pays on december and about august, for 14 yearly payments) and "on delivery".

**hotsauceman1**

I think some do it by Date too that kinda leave it to Bi weekly, but can sometimes mean longer between paychecks

monthly is normal here too, has to do with bureucracy and social systems. Makes it far easier to deduct social security pay.

The CC Leviathan is up for pre-order next weekend! (WarCom)

Spoiler:

Plus the "Leviathan Siege Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons Frame"

Firepower-focused Praetors planning to pick up a Leviathan packing powerful ranged weapons when it arrives need not fear a lack of options, as the Close Combat Weapons Frame will also be available to order direct from the Games Workshop webstore. This frame includes the two melee fists from the full Dreadnought kit, which can each be built as siege drills or siege claws for all of your Loyalist/Traitor grinding/crushing needs, and is a great way to add weapon options to any future Leviathan Siege Dreadnoughts you might add to your army.

Spoiler:

**JWBS**

I used to like the Leviathan but, for some reason, over the years it became quite goofy looking to me. I do quite like the look of this CC variant painted in SoH though. I'll probably get one CC Lev but no more than that, and also I really doubt I'll get the shooty version (though in general I prefer the look of shooty dreads or combined arms dreads over pure CC dreads)

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Where….where’s the rest of the Heresy releases :(

**Matrindur**

Disappointed its only two arms in there. Can't magnetize a second ranged Leviathan to have both running melee.

Not even sure if you can magnetize to switch between claws and fist since it seems like you only swap out the fingers.

Mystic Grotsnik was a hoax... like every mystic out there. Atleast he didn't take money for his services!

Well there is always next week.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Not that I’m admitting anyway!

proably waiting for better launch windows. remember there is a LOT of HH/CSM release so GW's proably not wanting to do massive dumps along side the CSM stuff

**lord_blackfang**

But I want it NOW

**BigOscar**

Kind of amazed they've not released the Sicarian yet, it seemed like they were planning on releasing it pretty much on release yet it's pretty much disappeared since then

**Mr_Rose**

Someone in logistics is going “feth, we can barely keep up with demand for rhinos‽ How can we be barely keeping up with demand for rhinos of all things? We’re going to have to ramp up hard if we want to sell a brand new vehicle.”
