The Stormies are being released with the "Planetstrike" supplement in July. My guess is that the revamped Chimera and Russ kits will be out in June.

Eh, I don't mind. It gives me a chance to save up some more cash for them. That said, I'm picking up the Plastic Command Squad & the new Dex for a total of $40, so I'm already getting a sweet deal...

There is no news when the Russ and the Chimera will be released.
They are not yet on the release schedule and from what I hear they haven't even been talked about at management meetings.
Sorry for the bad news.

Do the new ten man boxes have more special weapons? Or is it exactly the same sprues but less of them? Cause if it is I'm stocking up now xD

Exactly the same sprues, just fewer for more money. Grab the current ones while you can.

I did some number crunching. Assuming the new Cadian box will cost as much as the new Ork Boyz box:
Getting everything new, in the best possible configuration, without cutting corners
1 HQ= 25
2 Troops (w/ HW)= 44
1 HW Team= 13
Total: 82
Bad End! Bad End!
1 HQ: 25
2 Troops (w/o HW) 44
1 HW Squad: 35
Total: 104
Cutting Corners with the best possible configuration. Basic idea- take X troops from the 2 troop packs for use in the JO squad and replace them with the basic lasgunners from the 5-man pack.
1 Cadian Officer: 15
1 5-man pack: 8
2 Troops (w/HW)= 44
1 HW Team: 13
Total: 80
Bad End, cutting corners:
1 Cadian Officer: 15
1 5-man pack: 8
2 Troops (w/o HW): 44
1 HW Squad: 35
Total: 102
Now this is assuming we all know what to do with HW once we get them to spread out their cost. Any of these configurations are cost-effective when using the HW strategy.
For those who don't know, this is how the HW cost-effective plan goes:
Make any 3 tripod weapons (Autocannon, HB, or Lascannon) using the large bases and Guardsmen provided in the HW sprue. You can make them permanent or adaptable by simply not gluing the HW to the tripod or the gunnery Guardsman.
Make 3 Mortar teams with extra standing Guardsmen. Just glue the actual mortar to a 25 mm base.
Make 3 Rocket Launcher teams with extra standing Guardsmen.

put in the order for my codex and two of the new cadian command squads today, if it'll be anything like the last SMurf release I should have them in my hands on the 2nd, possibly a day earlier!
yay, I'm in full guard mode now!

why are people in a fuss about the stormtroopers. They havent been mentioned with a release date at all, its not as if they were scheduled for release then cut out. just make do with the ones you got. And again, same with the Tanks. I don't remember a release date.
I mean, you guys are starting to sound like SMurf players. (not the more mature ones either)

Convert them as best as you can. A punisher would look rad with like, 5 autocannons for the multi barreled gatling cannon.

I'm beginning to truly question GW's mental stability...
Release a new codex, with 5+ new Leman variants and other current FW models and not even release any upgrade sprues with it?? AND!
Its for the freakin IG the most tank heavy army in 40k! Lots of people aren't very good at heavy converting GW...
Think about it...at a battle for some regular player...
Man: Hey, I would think you would have like all those other cool tanks, and such.
Other Man: Well those idiots didnt release any upgrade sprues..and FW costs way to much for me...
And also...I WANT MY PLASTIC STORMIES :C lol
