All the models will probably be single piece models (apart from the dreadnought like you said) and thats why its so cheap. But if its $60 in the usa i bet it will be $80/£40 here in the uk. But i dont collect SM or orcs so i dont really care.

Pretty sweet deal actually. Though I´m still waiting for the arrival of Dark Eldar, which are rumoured not to be far off from the release of the 5th edition.

sounds pretty good, probably about equal to what you get in BFSP. although really its only 16 man sized miniatures and a dread for the marines. and 26 orks arent really that much. and deff kopta's are bound to be crap. it will be useful for marine players who want to get into gorkamorka though, as you can probably make most of a mob out of that (shame no vehicles!)

they will probably all be 1 piece models, and i suppose ultramarine molding will help them make ultramarines popular again. i just hope they arent as bad as the 2nd edition sprues.

Thats a really good idea, makes me want to buy one which i may to play a game with my friend, space marines vs orks " The most green battle ever". and for $60 too...

hm yep, sounds cool. it will probably be like the bfsp-box, lots of minis made of one or two parts and look ungly as shit, compared with an "original" mini.
unfortunatly i don't like 40k, so who want to build a Chaos Squat army with Space Orc slaves?

chaos squats yes . . .

. . . .but shouldnt it be hobgretchins?

I'd buy it for the marines, then convert the orks into industrial orc slaves for my CDs

whatever you want, but there are orcs in the box, no gretchins ^^.
let's see how the minis in the box look like but i think, it wouldn't be easy to convert the marines, because the probably will be made of two or three parts.

What is terreign piece A exactly? When I first saw it I thought it was another unit

Considering how little 40 quid will get you in this hobby, this seems a remarkable...borderline unbelievable product from GW.

I remember the first thing from GW i bought was the 40k boxed game for i think about 50pound. 20 monopose goths, 20odd monopose marines, 40 monopose gretchin and cardboard cutouts of dreads/killa kans.

Even if the terminators are all monopose (except serg.), they are also plastic and easily converted/reposed. From what i can make out from the blurry photos, seems like an even better deal than bfsp

i think they look good. There is some evidence of the flatness of the miniatures (like the BFSP dwarfs) but the poses help disguise this.

The ork warlord i imagine has a separate shooting arm to position and the claw arm should be able to be bent around with a bit of force to make it look less like he's giving directions. Sepatate slugga arms for the orks as well by the looks of it. There also seems to be 2 different styles/options for the death koptas.

The marines seem onepiece but with separate hands/boltgun with a flamer option. Dreadnought looks good as does the commander. Overall, good job, both should assimilate easier into pre-existing ranges.

So are there any pics of the Nobs, terminators and SM Commander anywhere?

Awesome, thanks

in 2 wd issues time they are giving away nob and term models for free

This is shaping up to be the best boxed set ever. All that for forty quid? SOLD! That commander looks cool. UM's are my first love, maybe I've been neglecting them over the years.......

They're becoming Imperial Fists ASAP. In the 41st millenium, real men wear YELLOW!

Sorry to ask - but:
where did you all get the scans from???

yep, says so in julys white dwarf (uk) - which for some unknown reason turned up on the 12th

that's when i got mine to!

Godbob don't double post.
