Funny enough they do and they seem to be more aware of this since they are using the same characters across systems, even unifying bases and such.

As for Digital content I do not want it on my wargamming! Paper, cards, dices and all cool lil tokens thats what I need. Easy pass for me.

how is 2,50€ premium per model? The price doesn't suggest premium at all imo... If you're paying 30€ for a character, that character better be premium... but 125 for 50 models is not a premium price imo.

Actually, it's because they won't re-use that specific sprue afaik. So it's better for them to do one sprue that is unique for the game than two ^^

This is not the point now is it. Doesn't matter if they were upfront or not. Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but this is something that should be free of charge, especially when placing an order this large. We (or should I say Canadians?) expect the utensils to be free.

So the point is we as customers do expect certain things to be a certain way. In this case we expect plastic utensils to be free no matter or large or small the order is. To be charged for utensils is being nickled and dimed and I know we hate being nickled and dimed to death. Same thing for GW. They have seemed for the last 5 months to change, and now they are starting to go back to their old ways of nickel and diming us to death again.

Have you forgotten that you are already getting utensils for free with your characters? They have AoS warscrolls for free on the website... Now you want to eat your steak a different way, and the utensils you got for free dont work, so they charge you a bit extra for special new utensils... Is that really nickle and diming?

Forget about this steak stuff. This is freaking VIRTUAL CARDS. Yes it is nickel and dining. No paper is involved. So why is GW charging a price as if they were making this product out of paper? I can buy packs of magic cards for my son at the price GW is asking for.

Frack it, will not bother explaining anymore. Look, I am not wrong, I am not correct. You are not wrong nor are you correct either. These are just our opinions we don't need to prove the other person wrong. My opinion is that it's not worth it, the value for me is not there. I left GW because I perceived there is no value in their products. GW got me back since I started seeing value in their product. Now, too soon in my opinion I am starting to see no value i GW again.

Comparing these prices to Magic cards is madness. Seriously folks... at least make sensible comparisons. Magic is a disgusting money-sink that makes our hobby look dirt-cheap by comparison.

If you're buying Magic cards... but dismiss these because you value the design work as ZERO, but card-stock as the full value of a product... I don't know if you're a very informed buyer of anything. :-p

Even GW's premium-priced characters aren't really "premium" though. Doesn't matter if you pay $2 per model with the boxed games like Silver Tower, or spend $30+ on a single clampack-style mini, you get the same gak: a single-pose plastic model with little to no options or variation.

Its probably worth saying that GW just put up the "Mighty Heroes" box, and it does say they include rules with the models.

So... slightly less doom and gloom?

But it wod take five minutes to give a new CAD weapon to that CAD goblin and twist the arm with the bow in a different pose so that the sprue doesn't have parts I41and I36 doubled on ONE sprue (quadrupled overall). I understand them putting in the same sprue twice to save costs for an unproven game, DW did the same, but at least make each part of your jewel-like objects of wonder unique when you design the sprue in the first place!

Besides, on of my I36 parts had the arm snapped off, so I'm justified in complaining about those stinkin gobbos

Premium has nothing to do with posing; all of the premium resin character manufacturers (Mierce etc) do single-pose with no options or variation. It's standard and it's what makes them look so good. Multi-pose I find is extremely overrated.

I don't care for Magic. So the value for magic to me is Zero. My son loves Magic. For him there is value. My son doesn't care for mini gaming. So no value for him in mini games. So me as a parent, where do I find the value? Why would I spend on something GW virtual stuff when that money can go to my son for his Magic. So YES there is sensible comparisons. I am finding value in something that is at a fair price for a something that is physical that my son will enjoy instead of something that is virtual that I don't feel like I own where I don't find the value in. It's free money that goes to a hobby that is not going to GW that is going to another company. So yes it is a sensible comparison.

So are you trying to say you are smarter? You are more wise? You are better? If not why use the word sensible?

Again someone trying to prove their point when it doesn't apply to them. But I love to be proved wrong, so show me how am I wrong? Again, I said in MY OPINION. Opinions are not wrong. So why do you still have to say I am wrong? In my case it's correct. In your case it doesn't apply. So just because it doesn't apply to you makes your right?

You do realize there are some magic cards that are insanely expensive, right?
http://imgur.com/gallery/asYpn

Even the "cheaper" cards that are good are $20-$60 and they're literally only paper and ink, every single one of them. Yeah, your son can spend $5 on a pack and MAYBE get a good card, but that's the catch, you're spending that money without knowing what you'll get, unless you're willing to pay more to pick which ones you want from specialty stores.

On a non-steak front, I picked up WD 120 and 121 today. For some reason I thought the Plague Lord stats were going to be on a card. They are, instead, printed inside the magazine on one of the half-pages.

One value of Warhammer Quest ST, to me, is I can use those models in AoS. I don't plan on expanding AoS---using starter set as a boxed game. This lets me use Silver Tower stuff and AoS stuff interchangeably by providing rules for both games. Pretty cool.

I noticed that sprue was unchanged, as well... I REALLY don't want to, but I suspect i'll need to put the Sorc on the square base... and trim it and then put it on a round-base. Maybe some flocking tricks so it doesn't look quite as ridiculous as I expect? :-p

It should be reasonably easy to file down the square base's thickness a mm or two, mount that on a thin 25mm disc and fill up the space around the square base. (when I type it out it does sound like a bit of work actually, but surely doable?)

If you want him on a 32mm round, it shouldn't be too hard to cut out a hole in the middle to slot the square base in, fill any gaps with GS and then base as usual.
