yeah i think i read that somewhere too awhile back. The real question is, is how much are these bad boys going to be? Especially if the rumor is true where all variants are in one box. I dunno I'm hard pressed just to get a bunch of LRMBT's before then. After that all I'll need to do is just buy bits maybe save myself a ton of cash. I dunno its a long way of though.

Well, keep in mind you can buy a bunch of Russes for $25 each from Battlewagon bitz, but they come without the upgrade sprue.
I plan on adding maybe two new tanks, so I have a full Company of 10, and then just getting a bunch of turrets from Bitz retailers. I'm guessing we're going to see a $5 to $10 increase in the cost of the Russ.

Would be nice if they came out with little "expansion packs" with the new guns. I suppose you could just order the bits though, no?

The only thing i hope for is a colossus set....st6 ap3 no cover saves, makes it perfect artillery for my infantry waves.

What Ive heard from my informer (local GW manager) is that there will be three tank sets coming out. Leman Russ + variants, Hellhound/bane wolf/ devil dog, and basilisk/medusa/colossus/griffon (yes, griffon). No hydra, deathstrike or manticore sets immediately planned.

No hydra, deathstrike or manticore sets immediately planned. Sucks that Hydra isnt in that list. But deathstrike i think would be a waste of GWs time and preciouss money to make. Its the most useless tank they have ever writen rules for. Your better off with Demolisher, at least it can shoot every turn... Nox |

You can easily buy the base vehicle and pick up the FW upgrade set if its the MBT, Demolisher, Executioner, Vanquisher, Exterminator versions. And I think they do Griffon etc...

I don't think a hydra would be terribly difficult to convert. I've got plenty of spare autocannons lying around. Perhaps a sentinel cockpit inbetween twin autocannons. Thank would look pretty badass I think!
And deathstrike is not 8-12", it's 4-6"
