14 Imperial ships, 14 Chaos ships

Half of these, at least in the Getting Started book, are configured
using the plastic figs in the box set. It's already been mentioned
that you get two basic models, one for Imperial and one Chaos, four
figs of each, and a number of bits such as flight bays, turrets,
and antennas to customize the various ship classes.
Whoops, just realized I forgot to notice if they have the different
prow detail of eagle, sword, or winged skull.
As some are only differentiated by using antennas in various
patterns, I'm fairly certain from GW's track record that
this is temporary until they can roll out the individual figs.
'Sorry, that's not a Dictator Class any more, this $20, 3 inch
is now the only legal Dictator!' Oh, yeah, that'll convince me. ;->=
Anybody desirous of playing me will be expecting to see old Gothic
Imp and orginal Eldar ships flying in my Eldar fleet.
AND not surprised to see all of the above running under FT rules.

Very nicely packaged, much better than, say, 40K 3rd edition.

Well, I said earlier it was 'crammed'. Let me qualify that with
'compared to other GW boxes'. I was especially thinking of things
like Ultramarines, the boxed game of scouts. *head shaking*
There's air in this box, but not more than I'd complain about.

PS. Save your Epic Eldar 'bomberz'. Not saying the Darkstar or
Eagle will be the same model, but close enough in my mind's eye.
Have to wait and see about 'size' issues.
