… they re-released Start Collecting: Skitarii today (?) so maybe they are repacking the boxes to include 8th edition rules inside them ?

I hope they indicate which ones will have the new 8th edition stats.
Even their website doesn’t always link to the 8th edition sheets at the moment,

For those that want to have updated inserts it’s nice that they update those as fast as possible. It’s always good if online stores clearly tells that to those that do care about that that because unlike with LGSs and Warhammer Stores you can’t just look at box to see if it has 7th ed insert or 8th ed insert.

That said it’s clear that LGSs will likely still have ones with older inserts as well because they just can’t take those off shelves because they have paid money to get those on they shelves.

Semi-related question: Anyone know if GW ever lets info on what starter sets are coming out of the bag? I am currently debating between getting started with the Astra Militarum or the Adeptus Ministorum. The thing that might clinch if for me is if the Astra Militarum comes back into stock as it seems a great way to get a field ready set of minis rather than trying to piece together Sisters of Battle and Friends but if there was one coming for them? Who knows.

Though that would involve plastic Sisters of Battle, which from the week I have spent looking to get into the table top world of 40K is a bit of a pipe dream in and of itself…

Plastic Sisters, like plastic greatcoat guardsmen, have been a constant rumour for well over 15 years now. I wouldn’t hold my breath. Having played my first 40K 8th game with sisters I will say they’re fun, but they’re missing an awful lot of tools to deal with armoured/monsterous units without going down the route of spamming one thing over and over.

I’d just go for the Imperial Guard, it’s a viable army and you won’t have to start a sideline in selling meth to field them

Ha ha, yeah. I’ve been getting that distinct impression about the Sisters. Well, this just means I can sell a kidney for those Victoria Miniatures Victorian Guard models and get my Pratorean Guard assembled instead.

I do love her Praetorians, I picked up Michael Caine to lead my own GW ones, and at some stage down the line I may grab the Lancers to go with them

The dex has Ratlings, but sadly no Rough Riders.

I wouldnt put it past them for a december surprise of sisters, as everything but plastic sisters has come true from last years wh tv christmas year ahead vid….
Unless they back track and say its st celestine….

Diverse guard is the top of my GW wish list, bring back rough riders and ratlings!

I didn’t know the ratlings had gone away. That’s a shame, I love them
