If you have posted in this thread or emailed me you're all set.

I strongly encourage people to let me know what they're interested in ASAP.  I'm going to get all of the information I can up here as soon as I can in an effort to help.

Also, I've had a couple of requests for Tigurius.  Is this guy looking like an auto include in a lot of preliminary builds / ideas?  If he WILL be super popular I'm going to order a bunch now, before he sells out.

If I were you, I'd order a few Tiggy's.

I'll take the apoc book and a codex.

I'm in for a bunch of:

Calgar
Kantor
Tigurius

Preorders are coming along nicely.  More of some things than expected, less of others.  Shocked that no one has asked for Sternguard or Vanguard yet, but I guess we need to see what they can do.

White Dwarf can't get here soon enough.

I want to see the Sternguard kit before I commit. And I ordered the Menoth Cavalry box, so something had to give and that was it.

i've seen a few of the Sternguard pics from the leaks and they look promising, going to be interested to see how many and what kind of combi-weapons are on the sprues.

The fact they are plastic is a MAJOR selling point IMO, i bought one box of "Fine"cast Sternguard and as per usual with finecast it was all warped and crappy.

If i hadn't already made my Sternguard out of Forgeworld guys i would be stocking up on the new plastic models.

I'll call tomorrow and get more info.  My rep told me about the sprues but I didn't take notes.

I'm pretty sure he said one box has a bunch of multi part weapons which people are really going to like.

I'll post up pics as soon as I possibly can (aka, the minute after WD shows up and 2 days after they're on the internet).

Another cool tid-bit...  The Centurions are on 50mm round bases.  I'm told that's something unique to them right now.

Ugh, that is terrible news for people with existing armies with cool resin bases.   It means that no existing custom resin (and other) bases will work.  Until they come out with 50mm sculpts.  Will they even make them if there's only one model that needs it?

this!!! i've already got all my resin bases ready to go!

i guess i can see if they fit on a 40mm resin base and stick the GW black 50mm base under it to be legal...

Bah bandwagoners!! before this very few people ran any ultramarine characters, let alone i dont think anyone else besides me has ever ran tigurius. Atleast ive never seen so at any events.

I don't need Sternguard because I'm not going to use Kantor (he makes them scoring), and I don't want Vanguard because my fast attack slot is going to be Storm Talons....
