BA Nid box, any news?

[it]

Hi, was wondering if anyone knows the contents yet? Or release date, I assume it may be this weekend?
Thanks

[daboarder]

Yeah, its up on Naftka, release this week

[WestRider]

There are pics up somewhere, too. Dakka or Warseer or something. Can't remember.

BA get a unique Captain, 5 Death Company, 5 shooty Terminators, and a Dread. Nids get a unique Broodlord-ish HQ, 3 Warriors, 8 Stealers, and a Fex.

Not that exciting really, the brood lord model is apparently going to replace the old brood lord fine cast model. The blood angel captain does not look that great, also has storm bolter.

Agree with this overall. May be a good money deal if you don't have all the models or want to split with someone though. I may actually pass on this as I have a lot of it already

Just as a note, the unique characters that came with Stormclaw are still no available to buy separately. So maybe the Broodlord will become available at some point in the future. It could be a long wait.

Is the Dark Vengeance special character available? It may be a limited run sort of thing. Would drum up sales for sure

It also contains Deathstorm, the next installment of Shield of Baal, AND a copy of the mini rulebook.


I;ll be fighting for one, but then I will be using ALL the parts in my armies

The special Chaplain that was in DV for a while has never been offered anywhere else. Pretty sure I read that Grukk and Krom from the StormClaw box were also exclusive to that. At the very least, I haven't seen them on their own. I'd also note that the Nid HQ isn't referred to as a BroodLord, it's called The Spawn of Cryptus, further suggesting it's going to be a unique, limited option.

GW did do a limited edition captain, but i can't remember what it was in relation to.

This boxset will give me the kick to start BA. Was tempted by Necrons also.

I wonder if we will get any of the additional optional bits for the models.

[daboarder]

They have done two limited ed plastic captians.


Also the plastic terminator captain hasn't shown up again either.

Quite frankly its a stupid bu
siness decision, but this is GW.

There are "other" places to obtain the unique models

[Gardakka]

Will certainly be getting a copy and splitting with a friend who plays Blood Angels - I'm happy for him to have the rulebook as I have the Stormclaw one. Overall it's a great deal because it has just what I want to expand my hive. Very happy with this release.

What's the carnifex base size now?

From the pics it looks bigger than the dreadnought's

[neomangas]

hmm this will sell out in one day right? >< soo annoying it leaves yourself no time to think or contemplate!

do you guys know if it will have the rules from "shield of Baal: Leviathan" in it?
how many books will there be? we currently have "shield of Baal: Leviathan, and the upcoming Deathstorm" will all of these have something for Tyranids? or is Deathstorm focused on BA? we know that we have something in regards to a new broodlord in there... did the same release pattern happen back when stormclaw was released?
