~Passing this news on in its unaltered form:
According to Games Workshop USA Sales Representative Mark Koscielniak, the new Warhammer 40k 5th Edition Starter Boxed Set will include a “Crap-Ton of miniatures”.
The new boxed starter, due out in September of this year, will include the popular “mini-rulebook”, dice, measuring sticks and the proverbial French “Crap-Ton” of miniatures including: 1– Space Marine Commander (full sprue) 1– Space Marine Tactical Squad 1– Space Marine Terminator Squad 1– Space Marine Dreadnought
AND THAT’S NOT ALL! The set will ALSO include:
1– Ork Warboss 2– Ork Boyz Mobs 1– Ork Nob Mob 3– Death Koptas
The retail price on this tremendous deal will be a ridiculously low $59.99! A quick analysis of the retail value of this set is valued at a cool $262 bucks, and that’s not even counting the retail value of the 3 Death Koptas, the “mini-rulebook”, or the dice! The new 5th Edition starter will be called “Battle for Black Reach”. The regular hard cover 5th Edition rulebook is due out in July, with a retail price of $49.99. Even with this great value, Games Workshop Inc. has instructed their retailers to warn consumers that in order to off-set this incredible value,GW is forced to break the promise of not raising any prices for 5 full years. As a result, all of the GW starters (40k, Fantasy and Lord of the Rings) will now be sold at $59.99, rather than the former $49.99. Even so, the values of these starters are astounding, as entire armies can be built for the cost of a couple of starters. Be sure to place your pre-orders early so that you don’t miss out on this incredible deal!

| That is a good deal to say the least. Too bad I've got too many unpainted figs already. |

Hah....I've got enough unpainted Tryanids to field a pretty good sized army. Whether the army could be competitive is another story. Lots of little bugs but just 1 each of the big bugs. |

Actually, if I painted to sell on ebay I'd totally be flipping those boxes. |

Yup you are screwed see it's better off if I resist.....Those big ones cost a lot and take a long time to paint. I guess I'd rather pay all that money for my skirmish games that no one else plays..... |
