Apocalypse Collectors Edition (direct only) Limited to 1500 copies
 

The contents, which are divided up by trays into sections, include:

- A leatherette-bound A5 edition of the rules section of the Apocalypse rulebook, crafted in the style of a Book of Ecclesiastic Prayer.

- A double-sided concertina edition of the miniatures showcase, entitled Pluvian's Fighting Formations & Engines of War 974.M41.

- A set of Apocalypse Formation cards inscribed Index Detestatum.

- A set of 63 elegant black Strategic Asset cards.

- Two Warzone compendiums containing background and additional formations for the wars of Armageddon and Pandorax. Both Warzones are styled as Imperial dossiers, of the sort you may find on a General's desk, and Pandorax is only currently available in this Collector's Edition.





Apocalypse Gamers Edition (direct only) Limited to 3000 copies
  "Designed to look like a stasis chamber for a vortex grenade, this is quite simply the biggest, coolest figure case we've ever made. The case itself has double the capacity of one of our army carry cases, and to put that in perspective it means you can carry the equivalent of 4 Baneblades, or 24 Leman Russ Battle Tanks."




Imperial Targeting Templates includes
 

This box set contains three types of templates for use in your games of Apocalypse. The Apocalyptic Mega Blast Template is truly massive. At 15" in diameter it's the biggest template we've ever made (so big that it comes in 4 separate parts that need to be clipped together). It contains measurements for 4 sizes of templates, at diameters of 5", 7", 10" and 15".

The Hellstorm Template is the largest flamer template available. Over 16" in length, and 5" wide, it includes both the standard flamer and Hellstorm Template within its design.

Finally, the Apocalyptic Barrage Marker is made of 5 clip together, ordnance sized templates (that's a 5" diameter on each template to you and me).

Lots of goodies for all us crazy Apoc Grand Masters!  I ordered both Limited Edition sets and one of every game item.  Will get the terrain too.

I play neither Chaos nor Necrons and glad since those models are way over priced.  And a Baneblade is now just a bad buy at $ 50 more than it was when released 5 years ago.

Still, I am all about the big games, so looking forward to getting the new edition.

  1. I don't think the Banablade's that bad as it is now the Baneblade + Shadowsword kits together.
    The Stompa, on the other hand, got the increase with no increase...
