I missed the Nids last time so I'll be getting bulk bugs nomatter what.

Chaos though, I'm only after the new stuff - raptors, obliterators, defilers, death wheels etc.

Sounds like my situation too, Tas.

From what I understand, they are just going to re-release the E40K 'Nids ?!  Yes ... No ?!? ???

Hi Ralph and Gang,

According to the latest information I have, most of the new E-A 'Nid line will be re-releases of the Epic-40k 'Nids with SOME new sculpts...

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Dont get my blood up in excitment again Dafrca - I dont want the dissappointment if it all falls over.

Then again, I'm gearing myself up for what even Primarch would call a "Big purchase" when they come out... :;):

Hi!

Would that be for chaos, Tas?

Chaos stuff is long overdue. I hope it will see the light of day.

You dont have to worry for any competition on my part for chaos minis. I completed my chaos purchases almost 4 years ago. So I would pick up only truely new units models.

That means more for you....  :;):

I suppose your gonna order at least 1k of stuff?

If you order over 2k, then I'm really impressed!!  :)

Chaos is first.  They will be mostly re-releases with just a few new sculpts but no specifics have been mentioned.  Front runners are the Obliterators and Defilers.  The war engines are behind that.

Nids should be right after, but given the limited production capacity allotted to Epic, I would predict some delays.

Hopefully, Chaos rules and minis and Nid rules will be an early 2006 release, Nid minis and Tau rules a mid-2006 release.

And, of course, it's all subject to change - usually delay.

Hi!

Even its all old stuff, I would consider it a huge boon to have any minis for chaos and tyranids. So I'm not that worried if any new stuff appears. Its nice but the main chaos line is more important.

There would have to be at least some new sculpts as there are some new bugs. No old sculp to reflect the new unit. Further, some of the units have changed so much that the old sculpts do not make sense.

Both Chaos and Nids really.  Maksim has a LARGE Boxes of chaos for me from the MEGATRADE of late last year and I imagine that that, combined with what I already have, will be sufficient for my Heretic needs.  Of course, new units (eg raptors, obliterators) will be on my list too, but I wont be replacing old sculpts for new sculpts of the same mini...

My pitiful horde of Nids is just a sad inditment on the Hive Mind really.  Not enough chitinous death to capture an Imperial Primary School!  This is where I see most of my purchases going.  The 2nd hand price of Nids around the place is ludicrous these days, and I dont see my self able to snatch up any bargains anytime soon.

I suppose your gonna order at least 1k of stuff?


Thats the plan, but that would be both combined.  I'm stashing some pay away slowly in secret preparation...

If you order over 2k, then I'm really impressed!!  
If I order over 2k and get caught, then I'm dead!!    
:o

Which also poses the question - what is the standard currency for the 1K?  USD? (as P set the limit), GBP? (as GW makes them) The currency you are paid in?  It makes a big difference you know?

1,000GPB =  US$1,824  = A$2,371
or
US$1,000  = A$1,300

:l

Hi!

1k is US dollars. So 1300 AUS. :)

Seems you'll be getting quite a lot in any event.

Welcome to "primarchside". :;): :D

Thats a rather Yank-centric view P!
Especially for one who lives outside CONUS!  :D

I dont get paid in USD, neither is my cost of living calculated as such - why should I therefore count my purchases in it?

Economics...I never understood it.  The onyl economics I udnerstand are blockading an enemy port and sinking their merchant shipping until their collapses!  :cool:

Seems you'll be getting quite a lot in any event.

Welcome to "primarchside". :;): :D


Yes, yes I will.  
Thankyou Master  :L

Ahhh, the classic mistake. You are trying to apply real-world logic here!  :D

As far as I understand it - and this is based on little more than rumour and imagination - the new minis will be limited to things like Raveners, where there is no old mini to be used, and things like the Tyranids, which look entirely different will just be re-released and not updated. I guess that the logic is that you know what they are, even if they dont look like the 40K ones, so there should be no confusion during the game.#

There's also the concept of the evolution of the bugs that they've run with a little in 40k, where the swarms from different hives look different and have evolved to deal with their opponents, and thus the different evolutions of the models are all good to use.
