www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1350015aMy opinion is it sounds like battlefleet gothic for fantasy. My roommate thinks it's a good deal as you get two armies and there are cards and oceans and everything's included in a 115 dollar package. I suppose that's true that as far as GW goes it's a good deal but i still can't afford it and i don't know if i want to play a naval battle. It could be fun i guess. He's probably happy because it has an undead leader (a vampire i think) and my roommate plays vampire counts. The other guy is trying to seek revenge but is human i think. Meh i'd like to see how a skaven fleet handles. It probably has crap ships but they're all very powerful at shooting and magic. It's hard to say. I think skaven fleets get owned pretty easily.

Skaven fleet: Each time your ship is reduced by a hull point roll to see if your crew flee the 'sinking' ship.
I saw this and shook my fist in the air over the lack of support for Gothic but seeing that they are being up front about it being a limited release I'm thinking of it as more of a Space Hulk deal so I pre-ordered one.

I didn't even know it was a limited release. I may actually have to get it but i lack the funds so i probably won't. We'll have to see and maybe my roommate will end up buying it.

This probably has something to do with International Talk like a Pirate day...

Maybe but either way it's bad ass. Even if it's limited time and that's bull nuts i totally have to buy it somehow. Maybe if i use my debit card. Ugh i just can't resist. I think if it wasn't limited time i'd wait just like everybody else. However i just want it so bad.

I think it is still advanced order FKM. Why don't you call them up and ask how long you have until they charge you for it.

If it is something you really covet then maybe you could ask a parent or equiv to stick one aside for you for Christmas. Of course by then the buzz will have died down and you might find you want something else a bit more.

Of course by then the buzz will have died down and you might find you want something else a bit more. Hehe i'm too old for that sort of thing. I don't know if i can get it. You see my roommate would split the cost with me but his funds are tighter than usual for the next 4 months due to certain reasons. I think it's the whole 'limited time' bull that has me excited. See at first i thought it was cool just as i thought the latest vampire lord on zombie dragon was cool but i'd hold off as i don't have the money and it's a figure i want my roommate to get for his army. However this is a full game for just over 100 dollars and the limited time thing always gets me. I think they do that on purpose to make sure it sells out quicker. Ugh who knows they make some cool limited time stuff. Maybe it'll come back around in a few years. Of course by then i probably won't want it. It's hard to say but it'd be a nice game for me and my roommate to play. The balance is probably better than our current army composition. Hell it may even be a nice game for the gaming club i tried to make if it ever gets off the ground.

You're right. Be sensible and if you can afford it then get it for the fun you can have. Otherwise don't mess up your finances and take comfort in the fact that GW are going through a phase of limited edition releases. They'll release something else 18-24 months from now and if you start putting a little money aside for it from now till then then you can catch the buzz next time.
Otherwise there will be a cool new mini released next month or a new army release soon you can always go for that.

If you can't afford it then don't buy it.
Even if it doubles in value, you could still end up messing it up. These limited edition things need to be kept in pristine condition for you to get the full value out of them.
Personally I'd rather just buy more Catachans, a bit more scenery and the expansion set for the realm of battle, the battle mission book, a couple of warhound titans, a thunderhawk gunship for the Brazen Lizards, a third baneblade, a second stormlord and some lizardman kits...

I plan on getting it. After my visit to gw today I was told although they are two 'armys', each ship is from a different force. So in effect you can have 2 - 10 players in last man standing games or what ever.
Apparently 65k are being produced with around 15k already sold.
I regret not getting space hulk, so I don't want to miss out on this. Its different and looks pritty sweet!

How are they already sold? I didn't think you were allowed to start ordering it yet?
Anyway i may be able to work off the money to buy dreadfleet now. My half sister doesn't seem as opposed to it as i last thought. It's an entire game in a box even with its pricing. So yeah i'll just work it off and hopefully things turn out well. It probably won't turn out as well as i plan but it seems like i can get it as long as it doesn't sell out too soon.

I ordered mine as well, and hoping for it to be shipped Friday. Though according to GW it was shipped yesterday...should be interesting.
