Hopefully, now with Jervis's announcement of large landing pod/vehicles (B.E.V.s ?) for the SM, IG & Orks, maybe all the other forces, (Eldar, Chaos, 'Nids, etc. ?) will get something similar? ?
Years from now ?!

Although they do need something similar, I don't like the way it would make them all samey.
Having other options rather than every race having access to an orbital lander would be better.
For example, I would have the Eldar be able to purchase a webway gate instead of a lander.
This would fit in better and be unique.
Tyranids  ?I suppose it'd have to be spores.
Chaos? Similar to Marines I guess.

That works for me... now if they would only get the stuff released?!  ?
You think they were getting paid by the hour!!!

In this thread Jervis talks about the army release order and an idea of time frame.

Hi!
I think most will be content to have at least the basic units of every army to be available 6 months after release. New units are nice for those of us with established collections, but its not good if newbies can not get basic stuff within a reasonable time frame of release.

I'm concerned about how I can order them once they are released?
I get the feeling everything will be packed in unit strengths, Jervis even said that somewhere, I think? ?
So that's great for "newbies," but I'll be selling a lot of extras, here...

I daresay that individual items will still be available via Mail Order. ?
If not, we can co-ordinate purchases and split it between us. ?
Any extras left over donated to Kitty's Welfare Fund

I have the feeling all E-A will be sold as F/W is, in groups of 3 or more? ?
All extras that I can't sell (at cost), to my usual cohorts (names withheld to protect the innocent), will be offered here... ?
No Welfare Funds, proceeds may go to illegal purposes...

Hi!
It will be mostly likely sold in "packs" of three minis or full units, I dont envision them selling individual figs at the get go, but perhaps at some point later on they will be available individually.

I just hope they don't go the way they've gone with BFG, with no components/single minis being available seperatly through MO or anyone else here in the UK.....

I hope they do offer them both as formations and as singles. Even if the singles are only available through MO, they will be needed.

Thats a good compromise Dafrca, I think it would be profitable for GW too.

Where I live, the only way I can get Epic is thru MO. ?
But I don't mind... one phone call and 3-5 days later I get a UPS package... ?
And I can get everything with the parts I want. However, I still would not be amazed if E-A was only sold by detachments... and then I sell my extras to you all... ?
