The boxed sets like that have been having built in savings. It is only the "one-click bundles" that don't have savings.

Well if that's the case I can resculpt the top part if needed. It takes some practice but Green Stuff is the way to go.
Hard to really see, but it looks like it may not be too hard to build Ghurk sans Ethrac and Otto.

The Daemon Possessing Fulgrim's Body
|
While I'm not as blown away by the Glotkin as some others are (frankly I'd rather it was just a GUO rather than a not-GUO to make sure people by the new unit, rather than choose to buy it because it's awesome looking) I have to say kudos to whoever painted the GW display model, painting large organic shapes like that is not easy.

It says there's rules for Chaos Legions in the book, I'm guessing that's combining Warriors, Beasts and Daemons?
If there's an elf book dyou think they'll do Wood, High and Dark elves combined? I'd love to do a huge monster army with dragons, Hydras, Treemen, Karibdyss, etc

The Marine Standing Behind Marneus Calgar
|
The new SM strikeforce looks nice, but I’m not sure how well it stacks up vs. the old one. Hopefully they will keep both in print, so people can choose. The price is just $5 different, so I’m not sure why they made it.
With both you get:
Drop pod
Razorback
Tactical squad
Dread (Venerable in the old box, normal in the new)
With the old you also got:
Another Tac squad
Sniper scouts
Assault marines
Command Squad
Multi-part captain
With the new box you get:
Stormtalon
Sternguard
Mono-pose captain w/c-grav
While the new kit has a better quality of minis (sternguard being very good, talon being a solid fighter) the captain is stuck with a kinda meh wargear load. And you are looking at a vehicle plus 6 minis, vs. 26 minis in the old set. I think the overpriced nature of the sternguard and plastic captain ($50 and $30) detract from the playability of the box. They fill the same role as the older, but more resonably priced command squad and multi-captain ($35 and $22)
That said, both the old and new boxes complement each other, and would make a nice army together.

You might want to check you nation flag on the site. $230 then, not $280. What I said still applies. Would buy it without much thought at half that, even at $150, but $230 for an entry-level force is still way too much.

Just getting caught up on this end times stuff and while I can understand whfb players being happy, that the death spiral that was 8th appears to have been reversed slightly.
The whole story itself seems to be influenced by tolkien and the scraped warhammer forge storyline. Nagash sending out his nazgul, dwarves retreating to there holds humans losing a great city, most powerfull wizard turns out to be evil etc etc all we need is a macguffin for both sides to chase that can vanquish Nagash. Oh and the whole nurgle running rampant thing that was the plan for turmankhan or whatever he was called.

If you're referring to the LE Glotkin, there's only 500 in the first place. Divide that over the various regional sales areas and take out a few for other channels/uses and they're not likely to hang around long, even with only mild interest.

No we are talking about the regular edition...they are making these end times things all a limited run.
Also @kanluwen that's good to know thanks? Just for when the skaven release end times (third book maybe) then I'll order from my local store!
