Fact Check: Troops + Transport

These are rather hard pics to come by, but I finally did recieve a link to them in my inbox. When this rumor came out, it was said they were to coming the same week. However after a couple days went past, they were said to be released on February 25th. Now at least we know they are here. They are of course seemingly hard to find.

Fact Check is a new series of posts I will be starting regarding past rumors. In this series we will revisit old rumors, and check out exactly how they turned out.

Troops + Transport rumor came to us on January 30th and this is it....

xxRavenxx
A new set of boxed sets are being released this week, offering a saving of nearly £10, which is nice to see. Otherwise not terribly exciting stuff, as its just reboxing. Interesting to see no Tau or Eldar box there though.

Space Marines & Drop Pod - £35.
Imperial Guard Cadians & Chimera - £30
Chaos Space Marines & Chaos Rhino - £35.
Ork Boyz & Trukk - £30

11 figure box.
All are, except the orks who are 12.
I cannot tell you if it is a tactical squad proper (Though I suspect it is) or two combat squad sprues.

Obviously we know they did come, although the time frame, like many rumors was off. So even with a few minor errors, this rumor came true. I cannot verify the pricing. So chalk one positive up to the rumor mongers.

Here are some more pics of the boxes for the thousands of us that have not yet seen them.
