When someone finds out for sure, can they pleeeease post this info to the list?
This will be the crux of it for me I think.
The boxed set can stuff itself as far as I am concerned. A buddy found out
what "heaps of SM and Orcs" means - it means "heaps" if you are a 40K
player. If means about half a company if you play EPIC...
IF the 9.99 boxes contain 2 of the sprues that have been described, then
they will be good value (unexpected...). If they contain one sprue, then GW
can stick their new release as far as I'm concerned...
More AGRO than usual...
