Don’t miss the confirmed lineup and prices for the wave one Space Marines and Necron pre-order releases that are coming in October!
Multiple retailers have already confirmed the prices and lineup of the wave one Necron and Space Marines pre-order for October. Start saving up those hobby dollars because there are a lot of exciting kits just around the corner.
If you’re not up to speed there are 12 new units on the way for Space Marines, and 11 for the Necrons (total). We break them all down in the linked articles below:
Going on pre-order this week, however, there will be only 3 releases for each faction in wave one. Here’s what’s first in line and what we know about them so far.
Szarekh the Silent King $150
There’s no official word on his weapon stats and special abilities. But we’ve got his basic statline. He’s got some decent stats with the most attractive probably being T7 and 6 attacks. The potency of the Silent King in melee will really come down to his weapon. But being the head honcho for all the Necrons we have a feeling he won’t disappoint.
On the flip side, he’ll also have 16 wounds which means that players can start shooting away at him as soon as the game starts.
Cantoptek Doomstalker $40
There’s also the Canoptek Doomstalker which looks like a big brother version of the Canoptek Reanimator (inside Indomitus). If you look at the first big points to make about the datasheet, the model is a heavy support and GW redesigned the way degrading works, now giving an entire new statline to follow as it gets injured.
It’s surprisingly fast with a 10″ Move while also having 12 Wounds and a 5++ invuln. The weakest point about the model is that it’s only hitting on a 4+(thankfully that never changes as it degrades). With that said, it’s got two main profiles to use for shooting, however, the anti-tank high power version of the doomsday blaster can only be used if you stood still. Being that it’s a 48″ range cannon, there shouldn’t be many issues. The twin gauss flayer is just for some added dakka but obviously not the real reason why you’d take the unit
Overall, with a random D6 shot output and only hitting on a 4+, you’ll most definitely want to bring more than one of these to get the most value out of your points. Definitely a sweet model though.
Lokhust Heavy Destroyer $35
The Lokhust Heavy Destroyer is another Heavy Support option on the way. Unlike the Doomstalker, there can be up to three models in the Lokhust Destroyer squad. It’s got a weaker statline from the Doomstalker only being T5 with 4 Wounds but it hits on a solid 3+ and never degrades. Plus, it’s got a wrecking ball of a shot with its gauss destructor if you want to go tank hunting.
You only get one shot but at S10 -4AP and 3D3 damage, it hits almost like a Castellan volcano lance. If you want to go for screen-killing, you can also throw on the enmitic exterminator for 3d3 S7 -1 AP shots. Just taking a complete shot in the dark on this one…but we feel like the gauss destructor is going to be wildly more popular. If you do take a squad of 2-3, it also says that any number can take whichever weapon (they can be mixed).
Primaris Chaplain on Bike $45
With all the fiery zeal of their foot-slogging counterparts, these warriors exhort nearby battle-brothers to heightened acts of valour and martial prowess. And they look great doing it.
Primaris Invader ATV $40
There’s also the Invader ATV and whew, these guys have a chunky statline. With a 14″ Move and 8 Wounds, these little Mario Kart-looking models won’t just roll over for anyone. They are only T5 but a little harasser unit of up to three models per squad can be surprisingly tanky. Looking at the datasheet, these ATVs have the option of taking an onslaught gatling cannon or a multi-melta.
Just $45- Get Yours Now!
Firestrike Servo-Turret $35
Now onto the Firestrike Servo Turret. This model moves a massive 3″ (lol) and has a nifty 2+ BS and 2+ Sv. You’ve got the option of taking a 6-shot autocannon or a 4-shot las talon. Once again we have more anti-Primaris firepower OR a gut-wrenching amount of anti-armor firepower. For just 4PL, you can get four las talon shots that hit on a 2+. That’s enough to make a Knight player’s stomach turn.
Space Marine and Necron Codex $50 ea.
Space Marines and Necrons are the first two factions to get their codex in 9th Edition. With all the model support they’ve gotten this year we’re sure they won’t disappoint.
Space Marine Datacards $25
Necron Datacards $25
Necron Dice $35 (limit 2 per store)
Necrons are getting some tight dice in this next release wave as well. The skull is probably the “1′ face and the Necron insignia is probably the intended “6”.
Other Space marine Faction dice $35 (limit 1 per store)
Iron Hands, Imperial Fists, Raven Guard, and Salamanders are also getting their dice put back on the market!
