So, new box art, $110 in the US, 49 models. Official release date: July 26th, 2014

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Wonder why they are including the previously released Aspiring Champion, it does fit with them fine though.

Meh, I'll probably pass on picking it up. If it's the same old Aspiring Champion I don't need him, he should really be a LE model. How hard is it for GW to throw players a bone here?

Maybe to replace the Chaplain that came in the original ltd ed ?

As the exact OPPOSITE of a GW apologist, let me respond to that by asking: What the heck is Stormclaw, if not "throwing players a bone?" It's a limited release set with two special characters and about 45% off the retail value of the models inside with a small rulebook to boot.

Expecting something awesome a week after that might be asking too much, especially from GW.

Stormclaw would have been alot better if it wasn't such a limited release IMO.

[ChacoStylez]

I would have liked to have gotten one as well, sucked it came out right before pay day.

I guess chucking a £12 model into an already great value set then only charging £3.50 extra isn't throwing us a bone?

The question I have is was it legitimately very limited, or was demand high enough to make it seem that way? Tau were not exactly limited when they came out, but the demand was such that there were shortages of many kits. Same with the Tactical Objective cards.

Adding the Aspiring Champion makes a lot of sense, as he replaces the Chlain, keeping him Limited to the old LE, and also slightly helps improve the balance between the two sides.

I don't know if it is possible to know that until someone has time to look through the sales figures. You may be right though.

Oh good, the Australia tax on this one is only $75, I was worried they were going to rip me off harder on this one.
