Preorders for Dark Vengeance?
« on: August 16, 2012, 03:43:35 PM »
So seems the rumors were right about preorders next Saturday the 25th for the starter set.

http://natfka.blogspot.com/2012/08/release-confirmations-starter-set-and.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Faeit212+%28Faeit+212%29

Yeah you guessed. 25.08. will be preorder date for the starter box. There will be a limited version with an Interrogator Chaplain. 08.09. will be the release date of CSM Codex

also seems to confirm the limited edition of the starter set (no idea what an interrogator chaplain is though)

Chase,

Any knowledge on this? Has your rep mentioned any of this and if we pre-order is GW going to come through this time or bone us again?

An interrogator chaplain is a special HQ unit for the DA.  Although in the New Codex it will be an elite choice instead.  Basically, it is the unit that is in charge of making the fallen confess their crimes.

Chase, as soon as the preorders are available, but me down for one of the limited edition ones.

I will, but I'd prefer a single word from GW about anything involving the starters before people start requesting stuff.

Interesting.. it appears that the new Chaos codex will be released only one week after the starter set.

i wouldn't be surprised if the limited edition version will be direct mail order only again. Much like the gamers edition of the 6th ed rulebook.

Got lucky, more like BG is pretty awesome.  Also, I hear if you mail ordered the gamers edition you got... well a set of dice and a refund instead of the bag + book.

Yes BG was very flexible and provided great customer service throughout the process, considering the circumstances.
But at least in Plainville more people got left out than not - but not by any fault of BG.

Some other stores where not even allowed to order the special editions - hence my original comment

So all in all in all, anyone who got a special edition, no matter how they ordered, got lucky.

Better yet, Dakka Dakka has some pics!  From war seer, evidentially...

The dark angel capt. Has a high elf helm, IMO.  Cultists seem cool.  Someone who knows how can post link, I am on my phone...

Yeah, I too was snarkily pointing out GW's incompetence. 

To make up for it, here are those pictures Nate so coyly talked about:

Good god, I'm so going to be poor.

Also, Jack, I demand that your Ravenwing and my Nurgle bikers have a game where we circle the objective for 6 turns again.

Above is supposively the leaked rules from the Chinese version. It is translated, and even so the stat lines are in English, so you can easily guess which units are which just by looking. The first list is the Chaos one and the second one belongs to Dark Angels.

Here is a link with some of the scans from the new White Dwarf.

Hellbrute looks pretty cool.  I may have to order myself two sets to get the interrogator chaplain.
