The pre orders for the retooled resin tanks are up.

£35 for the command rhino upgrade!

**zedmeister**

Along with a few price bumps...

**lord_blackfang**

So what are the price changes?

Which immediately went out of stock, so hopefully it's an error...

Superheavies have definitely increased in price (Glaive and Fellblade were around the £175 mark before) as well as the Arquitors (around the £105-£110 mark).

**lord_blackfang**

I feel like the Javelin went down?

**H.B.M.C.**

AUD$81 for a Rhino upgrade.

The Rhino itself is AUD$84!

Doesn't matter, already out of stock again.

FYI, in EU prices the upgrade kit is 4€ more expensive than the Rhino.

**Agamemnon2**

I don't think I can justify the Damocles upgrade price (44€) as it's more than the basic Deimos Rhino kit (40€). And for something that's relatively simple to either scratchbuilt, convert, or 3D print... yeah, this ain't it, chief.

**ProfSrlojohn**

The rhino is 55$ here in the US, which is 5$ more than the Rhino by itself. Jesus Christ. Like bro, there's less resin in this than in the door kits.

**Agamemnon2**

Is the dollar price for the Deimos Rhino cheaper than the regular version, like it is with the euro price?

**Tannhauser42**

Wow, I originally thought the command rhino also included the plastic kit. That's just bonkers that they're charging so much for so little resin. Guess I'll just stick with the plastic command rhino I got in the combo box from the Citadel store.

**Rolsheen**

The Mastodon is getting further and further out of my budget

Am i misremembering or did it go up another 50€?

Yes. But the 40k rhino also includes the razorback sprue, for whatever that is worth.
The Deimos is a better kit, imo.

I'll add to the yikes on the command upgrade. That's a ridiculous price for a dish, dish base and a little box.
It doesn't help that the picture of the rear of the dish, it looks like its listing, Tower of Pisa style.

I was thinking of dealing with my dislike of FW resin and getting a few things, but not at those prices. Certainly not for an easy kitbash like that.

**GrosseSax**

55 USD?!? LOL. GTFO of here FW.

**CragHack**

What are the rules changes? Minor or something that would actually make people consider buying those things?

They're just adding all of the sponson gun options that are on the sprue to all the models that had fewer options before

Personally the most notable new build is triple heavy flamer Salamanders Javelin

Assuming you talk about the command rhino:
Reserve shenanigans, actually it would be a decent addition to a AL list with allied detachment of militia that runs horde to speed up reinforcements...because remember kids Al treats allied detachments of SA as battlebrothers.

That said, a master of signals does it better and doesn't cost you 100+$ for a glorified rhino with radar dish.

**CragHack**

Nah, I had Javelin and Mastodon in mind. They added updated profiles, so I thought they might have also changed something. But if it's only added sponson weapons... eh.

**Racerguy180**

Thing about the command Rhino is it's missing the commander & all the other inside stuff, so it's an even worse deal....

The last kit didn’t have any of that?

**Gimgamgoo**

So, a resin roof hatch, radar and tiny extra aerial block, which costs more than the entire plastic tank it goes on, sold out in minutes???
Whoosh. Sometimes there's things that go right over my head.

**Charax**

God I'm so glad I picked up a 3D printer - you can get a set of Damocles upgrade STLs for about £5 and that does include interior detail (a nice holo-table)

most of the old Damocles kit was rendered obsolete by the deimos rhino and hatch sprue:

**zedmeister**

It wouldn't be so bad if they included the interior detail parts like they did with the original Damocles

Got a link to a specific file? Thank you in advance.

**Charax**

I'm really not sure what Dakka's rules on posting links to STLs that copy GW's models are, so I'd rather not.

Searching "Damocles" on popular STL sites should bring it up

**beast_gts**

Big bag of HH pre-orders coming up!

Spoiler:

The first narrative expansion for the Horus Heresy arrives, and it’s a 240-page whopper. The Siege of Cthonia covers the catastrophic battle for the homeworld of the Sons of Horus, which Vheren Ashurhaddon has vowed to take back for the Warmaster. All that stands between him and victory for the True Sons is a massive, entrenched Imperial Fists garrison led by Evander Garrius.

This huge supplement features a hefty lore section, campaign rules for playing out the key battles of the siege, new rules for claustrophobic Zone Mortalis battles, as well as new options for units and wargear including Inductii, tank commanders, and the Infernus Abomination.

I'm slightly worried that the Vindicator doesn't mention the Laser Destroyer version, but the Heresy Thursday article did say "Both loadouts are included in the new kit"...

**tauist**

Eviscerator with in-scale arms, finally <3

Product leak, or WarCom not knowing what they're on about again...
