My LFGS has confirmed assault marines for preorders this weekend, 33 euros a box. He said that it's supposed to be 10 guys but that's kind of imposible since the current tac squad is 35 euros. That's a good price hike, they used to be 27. Granted the kit had some of the worse mould lines in the range, and the packs were a pain to align. But still, The vanguard veterans are 35, or the DC squad is 27, and both include plenty of options to build an assault squad. I wonder what they can put in the new box to make buying it more appealing than van vets with all the bling and cc options. Maybe they'll include special weapons?
Apparently there's also 4 blisters that have character upgrades, like a tech marine upgrade sprue, a chaplain upgrade sprue...I had read no rumor about this, anyone knows anything?
