GW Bits Packs - 40K Terra

Brother Warchild · 05-09-2008

If this has been talked about all ready i will erase this .
But i have just noticed that GW is releasing bits packs (here GW Bits packs) Its a good idea on there part and its looking like it is cheaper than it was before.

Rhaalidor · 05-09-2008

Yeah, but the selection is sparse, at the least.

experiment 626 · 05-09-2008

from my understanding, here's what's going on regarding the whole 'bitz packs' issue;
- we've got a very few of the 'no-brainer' packs like the shoulder pads for pretty much every marine army right now...
- over the next year'ish or so, GW direct services is taking a general Q&A regarding which kinds of bitz packs people would like to have available...
then, they'll add in a whole slew of new packs which should pretty much equate out to what we used to be able to get/do.

now, i have heard a rummor that the next set of 'bitz packs' will be a variety of various mounts like say, 5 cold ones or 5 bret warhorses...

hope this helps!
cheers!

just something we monkies have heard... it might be true, who knows!

i know for sure though that it won't happen untill after the new dark elf release in august! but still, i'm also really hoping that this does indeed pan out as it would make converting my knights of morr far, far easier!

cheers!

r4wr89 · 05-09-2008

dark elves in WHFB, any rumors of DE getting a makeover in august as well ?
or no ?

hmm. yea i've taken a look at these packs and these mounts you speak of, stitch, would be awesome for IG rough riders too :]

Brother Warchild · 05-09-2008

So when did they redo the GW site (Games Workshop)?

Sir_Servo · 05-09-2008

some time with in about 12 hours or so. I checked when I was at work today at around Noon or something.

Looks kinda cool though,

Servo

***EDIT***
US one is still the same so it might have been longer than my orginal guess.

bitz packs are a pretty good idea, but i dont like how they took certain ones ( the iron hands range ) and put it all in one to were i cant buy just a certain thing ( like iron hands legs ).

Spartan-11755 · 05-10-2008

Bitz packs on the us site have been there for about 1 month now

Petey1016 · 05-10-2008

i suspect that eventually there will be a proper bitz pack for them... likely something like 5 or so sonic blasters/pack or perhaps 4 blasters + 1 blastmaster/pack...

ALOT! of chaos players have been crying for that pack to come out!!!

cheers!

Brother Warchild · 05-10-2008

I would love to get some of those Grey Knight Arms packs.

I know! I love the grey knight NFWs.... (what can I say... nothing looks cooler than a halberd!)

Ides · 05-11-2008

Yeah, the noise marines need the sonic blasters pack badly. But then again, since I'd imagine most players would tool up their noise marine squad with sonic blasters over bolters anyway, I'd have thought they'd have simply put more sonic blasters in the box. *shrugs* The bitz pack would remedy it just as well though.

DuskRaider · 05-11-2008

Eh... I don't like it much. Now if I wanted a squad of Iron Warriors, I'd have to spend $30 on the IW conversion kit (for 10 IWs), $35 on the Chaos Marines box, and then another $8 on the shoulder pads. That's a LOT of money for just 10 IWs. I'm sorry, I usually don't complain about this stuff... but it just seems like a way for GW to vacuum to cash out of our wallets.

Ides · 05-13-2008

But for those of us with lots of spare CSM bits that we may never use...

Dravenguild · 05-16-2008

I like that armor through the ages pack they put on there, up to mk.5 power armor.
