Been scouring the interwebs to gather all the rumours on the new 40k starter set so you don't have to

One would hope it'll stay the same (it won't go down), but knowing GW.. it'll probably see a price increase.
The "RRP" I've seen is 75 pounds. Thats about 118 dollars.

There IS a limited edition starter set. Limited run of 5,000 copies I think is what I heard.
I do not know how it differs from the standard starter set ..... but I suspect not that much?
Any notion of split starter sets or multiple starter sets for different armies is. in my opinion, total bobbins.

Starter Sets up for Pre-order August 25th. Release Sept 1.
Which means there should be photos of everything posted sometime around August 21-22.

I'm staying with September for the Starter Set. August for CSM. We'll know in 1 week, anyway.
If the books were really dispatched to warehouses around the world they won't sit there for long.

The Chaos forces are made up of CSM Chosen, as well as Cultists/Traitors and a funky Chaos Dreadnought.... amongst others

I'm expecting the Starter Set mid September

Starter news I have heard from several places now:

Chaos:
Sorcerer
Chosen
CSM squad?
Cultists
Posessed?
Dreadnought?

Dreadnought seems likely. CSM squad may be referring to the Chosen, or may not. Posessed will have to see.

Dark Angels:
Terminator Captain
5 Deathwing
Tactical Squad
Ravenwing bikes (3 likely)

I have seen the Chaos Dread, and been told that it will not be in the Starter Set

The Dark Angels are a Terminator Captain, a unit of Deathwing, a unit of Ravenwing and a unit of Marines.

I must make a retraction - There is a Chaos dread in the starter set, but it is not the multipart plastic kit, that will be released separately. Sorry, there were some crossed wires in my info...
