RUMORS: Drop pods with Codex:Space Marines
OK, its not a super fresh one, but scuttlebutt now says the much rumored plastic drop-pod has been confirmed as a plastic kit to go alongside the new Space Marine codex coming on the heels of 5th edition later this year.
The kit is said to have optional sprues to allow it to built as a standard or deathwind pod (and maybe even a dreadclaw).
This kit was apparently pushed up for release with the codex, while the other big rumored plastic releases like the Valkyrie and (maybe) the Thunderhawk (currently rumored to be priced in the $200-250 range) have been shoved back to 2009 for release with Planetstrike.
~I could see the plastic pod being a big seller if they don’t price it to high. Almost every marine player can use multiple ones, and with the right extra sprues, CSMs can get in on the action as well. I could certainly use a handful of nice PH-Death Guard pods. How many would you guys pick up ?
