Let's Talk About Horus Heresy: Burning of Prospero

I offered them ad space here but they didn't want it, so I think they just fly under the radar somehow. There's just no beating them on price, especially with that free shipping. The only thing is that you have to wait a week to get it.

Maybe we should stop bringing them up so often in threads. Perhaps we need a good codename...

"The Plundered Vault"

(Plundered Vaults being a collection of WFRP 1e adventures for 2e)

Could they be purchasing from a third party or sister company that is doing the direct interaction with GW? GW's restriction would only apply to the initial entity that completes the transaction. As long as that entity is not selling online with a true cart, GW probably does not care.

Uh, where's this janky website? $117 is way over my budget and will trigger additional $20-30 duty, vat & taxes, but I might need other stuff.

EDIT: If it's the one on vendio, then nevermind, I've found the Forbidden Vault. It's 30% cheaper than local price, even after shipment.

For the above the border folks there is a Canadian site that will email you their catalog\excel sheet - prices are 25% off of GW CAD prices, with free shipping at $250.

probably:
this + painting guide = my christmas

The only reason I didn't get Calth is because of the prospect of painting the same marines like 50 times, there seems to be much more variety here.
And I like the Civil War-like Horus Heresy as a setting.

It's similar variety as Calth. Both have 30 tactical marines, 2 characters and five terminators. The difference is one has a dreadnought and the other has Custodes and Sisters.

I think using Wolves and Sons helps differentiate the sides a bit more.

Just finished watching their video preview, kind of waste of time.

Naturally, the Silent Sisters don't talk, otherwise it wouldn't be GW. I can already imagine myself pitching this to my wife ("they don't talk, but that's a good thing...")
I also realize this is not the same system as Calth, and the psychic phase is likely to make it more complex/slow.
But then Barnes will pick it up and write about it, and I will feel compelled to buy it.

I saw this on The Miniatures Page. Don't know if anyone is in the Philly area but if you want a demo before you buy

Pictor's Studio posted "I'll be running some Burning of Prospero demo games at Phantom of the Attic on October 30th from noon to 5 p.m.

The game is released on Saturday, if you're interested in trying it out before you buy it come down and you can play through some of it.

Everything you need to play will be provided. We will have fully painted forces for both sides and you can either play on the board provided with the game or on a custom built terrain layout with slightly modified rules.

Hope to see you there. If you have any questions you can contact Phantom at their website:

pota-oakland.com/games

The address is:

406 S Craig St #2, Pittsburgh, PA 15213

Also note that parking in Oakland is free on Sunday so if you want to spend the whole afternoon killing Space Wolves/Thousand Sons, you won't have to worry about feeding the meter (which can be pretty hungry down there.)"

I still can't find a gameplay video/review. Bummer.

Pittsburgh area ... not Philly

Sorry, I'll do my naked perp walk later on

I ordered the second wave of this from Dan's. I'm going to practice my painting more on Brimstone figures before I crack into it (not that I have it yet).

Second wave?
