Heard nothing on this yet, but it's typical for GW to wrap the new shiny models up with some old ones. What do you reckon is going to be in the box?

I'm thinking they'll have a cadian box and a catachan box with their own command squads and maybe a LR for cadian and.... something jungly for catachan Stormies would be awesome though it does look like i'm going to be getting a lot of good use out of my new converted boys argh can't wait for Ap3

a marine company is a lot smaller then a guard company we might get a fancy new army in a box but it will probably be just a selection of fancy new minitures like they did before the release of the current SM codex, at least at first.

ooh right forgot bout that... i can't wait to see these "fancy new minuratures" cause i don't think they're gonna be throwing Hq's and advisors into a box togethor, waste of money for GW when they sell em like 12=15 dollars a pop

No, they've always bundled a few new models along with the codex and then padded it out with existing models. They normally release it a week before the codex on advance order.

SMurfs got a drop pod, a thunderfire cannon, some sternquard, scout bikers, maybe some vanguard, and a few named characters, plus the codex. All availbe on preorder and all brand new stuff, but not an entire army, that didn't come till afterward and it was not packaged with a codex.

Yeah, I had that with the Nid box, a week before the codex got released I got my box with no bloody codex in it. Phoned GW, was most upset - got the codex next day by special delivery On the box, I hoping for the 2 new russes, new sentinels, new command squad and the recut cadian squads. I'd also like to see a Valkyrie, but that's hoping - lol CC

well, I see it most likely as a russ variant box, a bassie variant box, command squad, something else (ratlings, sentinel dunno), and then some guardsmen. maybe a HW thing, but dunno.

This is what ought to happen: Army Box (cadian): Cadian H.Q Boxed Set Chimera or New Transport (I forget if we're getting one, and I don't mean the valk) Storm Troopers Squad (Although I haven't seen anymore rumours of those, are they possibly second wave? ) 2x Officers (most likely the old metal one ) with 8 guardsmen, plus 40 of the new guardsmen (so 2 boxes of 20, or possibly 4 boxes of 10...) A Leman Russ Variant Box (this will be what I'm truly looking for!) 2 or 3 Sentinels, with the new juicy stuff (like plasma cannons!!!) Army Box (catachan) Catachan H.Q Command 6x Heavy Weapons teams (team meaning 2 men and a single weapon, so 6 HB's, for example) 3 sentinels with new jungly stuff and weapons 2x Officers (again, most likely metals) with their command squads, and 40 new catachans Something else, I have no clue! Battle force (now this is what I'm really gonna be interested in...) 2x Officers with Command staff including heavy weapons, 40 guardsmen (new boxes, plox!) A leman Russ variant Note on the battle fore: with this, you'd only need to buy the H.Q COmmand squad and there you have 2 minimum platoons, a tank, and an H.Q, but GW will probably rip us off some more This is just wishful thinking, comrades

I think the rumor was stormies are second wave, as well as some tanks.

I'd buy a new battle-force or big ol' army boxset if they release one. And yeah, they do have a habit of including brand new codexes (Codecies?) or models that won't be released for several months just to get desperate collectors and gamers to buy the things. Kinda like with Black reach (Deff Copters), the Tau Empire boxset (Stealth teams) and I think the new Space Marine boxset. It's shameless, but even though it makes me a 'female dog' to their coldly-calculated, focus group-honed, targetted-marketing ploy I'd still gladly capitulate and buy a big boxset just to get the exclusive toys/codex a bit sooner.
But I dunno if anyone knows for sure what's happening as regards the products they actually will be releasing, or when they'll be available.

Ah yes, I remember when the new stealth teams came out. That demorlized my friend, who was just getting into Tau at that point, and he hates the new stealth suits, but becuase he's a bum, he doesn't want to get on eBay and find the old ones!
