This gives me an ever changing Wish List & Inventory and gives a bit of a look at what's coming up on the blog in terms of looks/reviews/thoughts.
Again, because I'm ordering everything online, I won't be receiving everything on day of release.
So here's Week 1 & Week 2 as I didn't know I was going to do this until after I committed to this idea with my wallet.
You'll also notice that I will try for physical copies of any books when possible.
Week 1
The initial release! The first Pre-Orders were put out to the world on July 4th!
Age of Sigmar Starter Set: Obviously this is a purchase as this is what is getting the ball rolling.
White Dwarf 75: Another obvious purchase, this issue seems to have a lot of the background and your basic primer on what this new world is, so it's something I'm going to be digesting early.
Age of Sigmar Painting Guide: I picked this up, even though I said I wasn't planning on worrying about painting right away. It's mostly because of mention that there will be more character details in the book. I'm sure it will be very little information, but it still got my attention.
The Gates of Azyr: I went with the limited edition of this novella because, why not?
Stormcast Eternal & Khorne Bloodbound Figure Cases: These I will be passing on, they're figure cases after all. They don't add anything to the overall world of Age of Sigmar.
New Paints and Primers: As of now, these are not purchases for me, I'm not interested in painting up figures right away. These may be an option later, but for now my money can be better spent elsewhere.
According to Shipment Tracking, all these products are in the mail and will arrive at my house this week!
As a fun aside, I was originally supposed to receive the limited Gates of Azyr book on Friday and I planned to read through it this weekend to have my first review up right away. After shipping the book over from England just fine and getting it all the way to Philadelphia (the closest city to my home), UPS informed me the book would be here on Friday. Then, the sent a correction e-mail saying it would get there Monday and as I tracked the package, I found they sent the book from Philadelphia to Lexington Kentucky just because. Good job guys!
Week 2
Now that the big box set is out of the way, what's on pre-release for Week 2?
Age of Sigmar Book: This big 224 page behemoth was an instant purchase. A background book, a scenario book and what seems like the new "campaign" model GW is going for with AoS. This will be interesting to dive deep into, as I think this will give a glimpse of how GW wants to present AoS going forward. Instant buy.
White Dwarf 76: Another issue well stocked with AoS articles, so this was picked up right away as well.
Lord-Celestant: A $33 dollar single model on foot. This isn't an instant purchase for me, but I will be picking it up later to add options to a Stormcast Eternal army.
Stormcast Eternal Liberators: For $50 you get the ability to build 5 Liberators, with a variety of weapon options. Since the two Liberator squads in the box set only go with the warhammer and shield option, this will be a future pick-up as well to have different attack options for the basic SE troops.
Stormcast Eternal and Khorne Bloodbound Dice Shakers: Again, not a purchase for me. They look great, sure, but they are $40 each for a few dice and a pretty shaker. As these don't build on lore or the game, they are not necessary for me.
Combat Gauge: See the above notes on the Dice Shakers, this is also a pass.
Also, it seems that Black Library as released the Age of Sigmar Prime for tablets and mobile. A free download, taking a look at it, it seems to be cut up articles from WD75 and the book in the box set. So, as I found nothing new there, I'm skipping any sort of review/look at that.
