You never know... GW might just be doing the repackaging first to get people to notice, and buy the old thing at a newer, higher price. Then deliver the new goodies in March, or whenever...
Don't forget - this is the company that gave us the quote: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

my wallet feels glad that this is the case. else i would have more basilisks than i need atm. (i have 9)
i still will have to mix old and new chimeras. which will suck big time.
unless ebay has them dirt cheap after the release.

It wouldn't have been the new Bassie, the Black boxes for Battle missions haven't been sent out yet, my local store has a battle missions preview day in February half term, they won't have the book or models until february half term, so you probably saw an old basilisk. They are also still being tight-lipped about what is being released, when speaking to staff members at my local store, who are normally well informed, i seemed to know more than they were letting on they knew.

What's really gutting is that we'll lose the vehicle upgrade sprue. I mean it was so cool having the extra guardsman without flak, but now the only way you can get it is to buy an LRBT. At the end of the day we know GW wouldn't ruin FW's day too much. Baneblades and Valks are one thing, but Hydra flak tanks? How would FW subsist. Deathstrikes - it's not going to happen.

Congratulations, guardsman!
Well - at least the chimera stays the same price.
Chimera - £20 Basilisk - £30

Right, so they made a few minor changes to increase the price of the Basilisk? No other options? *whimper* Personally I like the Scout models, except for their hideously grotesque heads. It's annoying that they're so damn expensive though. I personally adore carapace armour. It would fit with my marines better. Plus since all scouts have their helmets off how am I supposed to tell who the sarge is!

I actually might get this Battle Missions book, it'll be the first time I've ever bought a GW periphery book (CoD, Apocalypse, Planetstrike etc.) but it looks like just the right thing to make playing more interesting.
Also 'Kill Team' is back? That should be interesting.

Free?
I went out and bought the hard cover 4th ed book after 5th edition came out just so I could get all those extra goodies.
Oh and for the fluff and pictures...totally worth it.

I am sure the book can be found in the usual places it just takes time.

Anyone else a bit peved at the fact the IG new units are just tweaks wit hthe old units? seems a bit of a let down after the big run up and new units for orks and spacemarines.
