Deathwatch vs Genestealer Cult Boxed Game

[YorkNecromancer]

The standard GW price of £2 a model is excellent value IMO.

Especially seeing as most people will be getting it online for less.

Having seen the board up close on the pics above, I think I prefer Calth's hex board visually, but this still looks nice. I'll definitely be getting one.

Needs twelfty more Deathwatch.

I'll be getting it, but not this month. Bill Bomb dropped big time. Water, Sewerage, Gas, Lekky, Council Tax. All at once

I rather like that yanks have started using the word bollocks. .

It still a good value set in terms of models for the money. I'm not sure I'm going to have a lot of use for servants of the false emperor or rapey aliens at the mo though.

Frag Cannon is quite saucy, if somehow a wee bit Orky to my mind

Doesn't the Furioso dread have a Frag Cannon option?

Yes - but it doesn't have the same solid shot option last time I checked (which has been a while now that I think about it). Plus the fact that it's now a heavy weapon option for Deathwatch (aka sternguard on steroids) is what makes it cool. The Frag Cannon works WONDERS at killing mobs/squads of blob units. Combine that with all the special ammo options and other wargear and you've got the swiss army knife unit removal tool. Nothing is safe from these guys.

I can confirm with absolute certainty that BA can take a frag cannon but does NOT have an option to switch ammo: you only get the template assault 2 str 6 rending option.

Edit: to clarify, the frag cannon is furioso dread only. No man-portable option at this time.

Aye, and they'll be available online (I'm presuming free, but don't quote me on that)

Too late, quote'd! But they will be posted online for free, I am told.

Actually, it'd be nice to have a DW squad released on the side, something like a Tactical Squad with a DW-themed sprue with shoulderpads, heavy bolter, maybe some accessories, kick it up to $50. And/or a DW upgrade blister like some chapters got, so you can buy whatever Marine models you want (bikers, Captain, etc.) and make them Deathwatch.
