I am excited by this set, and especially by the mini rulebook.  I especially look forward to the Dark Angel stuff and the Hellbrute, although I don't actually play either army. Unfortunately, I truly doubt I will be able to buy it given their pricing here is way more than I can afford.
I wrote a tabletop war game! It can be found here  http://thatkiwiguy.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/5/ -  if people wish to read the rules. Still working on some of the factions and most of the background.

All of my want for this set.

Heck, this box set just might make me start some Iron Warriors as a side army :P

I'm quite excited about the Hellbrute as well as those raggedy Cultists.

I just hope they look remotelly like the DOW2 ones.

Eeyup.

The Cultist gets the honourary mention as it is a perfect Traitor Guard platform in more ways than one. I can see a lot of people sucking lots of this from people who do not want to use Cultists to make their own guard army.

Oh. God. Yes.

I had plans to begin a Pre-Heresy World Eaters army on account of my gaming group wanting to do a Horus Heresy campaign. Now I'm thinking I need to add some Post Heresy World Eaters to my shopping list as well...

Sweet Emperor, those Chaos models are mouthwatering. I don't even collect Chaos and I want them BAD! :D

Often I hear delusional ramble like "I painted and collected my army as ultramarine tyranid hunters....but Pedro is really good, so now I'm using him, but I'm just going to call him Jimbob-Fistpumper, cause that fits with my

Looks like GW are adding some life into their models. I'm almost reminded of the Space Hulk re-release Terminators when looking at the Deathwing.

Hell brute does look cool, but it just looks like a "Possessed" Dreadnought to me. I'm sure we'll see a few scratch-builds cropping up soon.

Chrono

those chosen makes me want the box just for them. cultists are good too. the hellbrute is a nice model, makes a good chaos dread if anything. maybe it's some sort of mutated marine just like the demon prince, but less leader-ish and more braindead berserker heavy support-ish

Wargamer

I'm starting to wonder if the Hellbrute will replace the Chaos Dreadnought altogether; based on its armament (the 'default' Imperial Dread combo of Multi-melta and ccw) it could well be put into the list and then have Chaos players simply count Chaos Dreadnoughts as Hellbrutes.

A part of me would actually like that. One thing I don't like about Chaos is the "Imperials with spiky bits" mentality. I would like to see the Codex do its best to steer away from that.

for those who noticed in the other rumour thread of releases, one line said Cult Hybrid upgrade Pack. that to me sounds like only stealer and nothing else, for the sake of the word HYBRID involved. look at it this way, a chaos cultist multi part set comes out, we get a stealer sprue for upgrading them to cult hybrids. WD allies option for nids?

Might split one with a friend and use the dark angels as fallen...

I hadn't though of this, and I have a small Fallen army underway :P

Now I'm definately buying it, becuase I can use the Chaos side for my Khorne Berzerker Force.
