So im going to buy a set when they become avaible. Two questions?
1. Will the store be getting the special edition version? and can I reserve a copy? (If not ill just buy it from GW direct, I just like the idea of throwing my money at the store first)
2. Would anyone be interested in doing some kind of halfsies deal? I'm not a chaos player so I wont be using any of those models. I'd also be willing to trade with some else buying another kit if they dont want their dark angel half.

Kind of.
But Chaos did get a beefy Dreadnought which is pretty big. I'm assuming price-wise that's what determined chaos getting less good models.

Are those the normal models or are they like the old Black Reach models where they were all pre-posed?
If those are the normal models for Chaos, I think I may jump in on that with ya, but I'm not really a huge fan of having stuff/equipment pre selected for me.

I'll definatly give up my Dark Angles for the Chaos Side of the starter set, that is if there is someone willing to trade.
Also this is the new Chaos Dreadnaught, so I'm sure that it won't be like the other ones and have some bounuses.

Love those cultists. Too bad they're probably going to pull a Lothern Seaguard and make them available ONLY in the starter box.

Yeah, lets hope that they don't include 'get these extra cultists' with this $20 boster pack of 5.

It looks exactly like the AoBR models, where all the models are snap fit.
The exclusiove part wont be that big of a deal though. Like isle of blood if you just wanted to get specific models out of the set ebay had millions of them on the cheap.
As for the dreadnought this is what has been said about its rules, no points cost yet.
Str 6, WS 4, BS4, I4 Has rampage
Multi-Melta / Power Fist (with inbuilt combi-bolter)
can swap the Multi-Melta for a butcher-cannon, or twin reaper auto cannons (which is pretty cool, since that's an entire riflemen in one arm, but with less range), twin-linked lascannon or a twin-linked heavy flamer.
can swap combi-bolter for a meltagun or heavy flamer
Mark of Khorne: Rage USR
Mark of Nurgle: 5+ restore a hull point OR repair immobilized / weapon destroyed at the start of a turn. Does not let it get back up after having been killed unlike Unholy Vigor.
Mark of Slaanesh: Sonic scream, gives it offensive/defensive grenades
Mark of Tzeench: flame weapons (if it has any) are +1 strength and -1 AP (so S6 AP3)

Those chaos marks certinally will have a lot of benefit in game.
