I am also intrigued by the 'gen stones'.
What was the ratio of Tactical/Heavy/Assault on the E40K sprues? I bet that this will be the same.
Also, what the hell happened to May? My birthday and no releases at all that month. Its a conspiracy, a conspiracy I tell you!

The guys at my GW use bottle caps for blast markers. I think they use it as an excuse to drink lots of beer!
And with the plastic battleforce boxes, unless Jervis releases info on what is in them, I think we will have to wait till them come out!
Cheers
Chris

Fairly close to 2x of the Epic 40K sprues I think (minus the terminators\bikes\scouts + most characters).
The epic 40K SM sprue had:
29 marines
8 missile launchers
4 Sergents (I assume thats what they are)
10 assault marines
+ 6 characters, 5 scouts, 5 terminators + 4 bikes
Conviently enough, all the tactical\assault\devastator marines are on one half of the sprue (aprart from the missle launchers).
Take all the above except the last line, add 1 more marine and 2 more missle launchers and you have the pefect combo for 6 tactical stands, 2 devastator stands and 2 assault stands. Now put 2 of those sprues in a box and you have your 32 stands (4 tactical formations, 1 dev formation + 1 assault formation. And hopefully a couple of characters).

That is what I thought. Second edition just had the 'basic' halves of the sprues, and the colourful halves were added later. So, this represents a move back. I would not be surprised if we see the basic plastic sprues released initially, and these then updated later.

Hi!
The original sprues (which were basically 1st edition sprues repackaged) were of two types. A "basic" sprue in a boxed set were all you'd get were tactical marines, guardians or ork boys, depending on the army.
Each army also had a separate boxed set where more specialized troops were found, like termies, assault troops and such for marines, aspect warriors, warlocks and such for eldar, buggies, nobz and such for orks. Only those three armies had such setup. Other armies like chaos, squats, IG and later tyanids had just one sprue type which combined basic and specialized troops.
That selection was changed with epic 40k when the "half sprue" was introduced and "basic" sprues for all except SM disappeared.

I dont think I'll be using gems as blast markers. I'll carry on using my old epic40K blast markers and BFG ones when they run out. At least until I make my own.
