On September 6th, there's going to be two kinds of people. Those who have Assault on Black reach, and those who wish they had it. Simply put, this release is awesome. For $95 not only do you get a hobby in a box, you also get $360 worth of Games Workshop Goodness! Awesome models, and amazing value is to be had here. Everything you need to start a 40k army is included and for $95 there's no excuse not to embark on a trip 40,000 years into a dark future were there is only war...
We're taking pre-orders for Assault on Black reach until September 1st. Those of you who have paid in full by then will be given a ticket. That ticket will be your entry into the Space marine codex, (valued at $50 and released in October) giveaway. The more items you pre-order, the more entries you'll get into the prize draw. Check out below all of the items and their prices, the bundle deals will be listed, but you're not limited to those items. You may just want to pre-order some Fantasy or LOTR models. Same deal applies, pre-order and pay before 1st of September for your chance to win.
We'll also be having a swap day, where you can swap your marines or orks for other bits and pieces out of other people's Assault on Black Reach boxes. It gives you a chance to hook up with other players, possibly swap some items and have a game or two. That will happen the Saturday after the release to give you time to work out if you want both armies or concentrate on one.
