Looks like GW are mixing it up with a Dark Angels and Chaos box set. Not a huge fan of a specific chapter box set but hey, at least it's not Ultramarines. And the models (particularly on the Chaos side) look pretty awesome

Hrm those Chaos Cultists look great, might mix some up as Necromunda gangers.

Hellbrute looks a lot better than the old metal Chaos Dread, do they still use that figure?

As far as I know the dread is still about. There were rumours of some new kind of deamon engine in the upcoming codex, so I'd guess that's the Hellbrute. I wonder what the rules for it will be like.

Any idea of the release date?

Gunmonkey

Pre-orders start next Saturday and release is the 1st September.

There's two box sets, the limited edition chaplain comes in the slightly more expensive limited edition set. Looks pretty nice.

Gunmonkey

Yeah, but special is probably sold out by now. Also I think the special edt is out the 1st of September, regular is a week later on the 8th.

The new box set looks amazing, but I'm not changing from my Smurfs (Ultramarines) any time soon.

Has it been officially announced yet? Because as far as I can see, Assault on Black Reach has disappeared from the website.

Gunmonkey

GW has introduced a new secrecy policy, they dont reveal info until about a week before release when the newest White Dwarf comes out. Thats tomorrow, they have been counting down the days on their website.

Part of a new BS secrecy policy where if a retailer is caught out discussing or taking pre-orders for any new release before its officially announced (ie a week before release) they will be hit with an embargo of 6 months after launch before they get a new release. Sounds like a massive over-reaction to people posting leaked images of stuff months before release (which pretty much EVERY company does anyways).
