Gotta love the pictures of the Bright and motivated 10 year olds, painting and playing on a table that is obviously incredibly well made and set up by adults.
Would have been refreshing for them to show a more likely scenario, where the kids play on a kitchen table with coke bottles and shoeboxes as terrain, and with models that look like they where dunked into the paintpots and left to dry.

I think this is the key bit we'd not seen before

WARHAMMER 40000: Battle for Vedros
Will not be available through Games Workshop.

so it probably means the online discounters will not get hold of this either (or if they do they'll have to buy full 'sets' and so may not pass on as much discount as expected)

Why wouldn't they? There are only so many distributors who handle this type of product and I don't see GW running the distribution on their own (if they could pull that off, they'd already be doing it). I think that just means you won't be able to buy it in a GW store or through their webstore. This last makes sense since they recently hired people to sell this product to toy, hobby, and other non-traditional gaming outlets.

Those sets are sold as full pre packaged displays for retail locations. When I worked for toys are us, we'd get those in for all kinds of products (hot wheels, kites, Disney movies, batteries, etc). So online discounters most likely won't have any access through regular channels.

Good information, I stand corrected.

Thanks!

Of course because of the stores they are going into it's going to be well worth keeping an eye out locally

as if they aren't working locally (or within a chain that practicice top down stocking) toy stores are much more likely to blow the out with massive discounts to get them out of the way than hobby stores ever would be

Now you've got me all misty-eyed, remembering picking up Battlemasters as a youth. It was in a bargain bin at Wal-Mart for $6.

It was a well-spent $6. A friend and I played many wars out on the kitchen floor.

Hopefully Hobby Lobby will get it so I can get it for 40% off. I would buy a number of these things. $9 per bike after discount is much better than the $40 for 3 bikes.

Michaels too.

Are these the snap-together ones?

I thought someone had shown artwork with an Ork Trukk and Ard Boyz - did I hallucinate that??

They did, but those were just concept pieces for whatever show GW was attending and not the final artwork.

27 dollars for the Wartrak. Oh GW....

1 Space Marine Captain

1 Space Marine Terminator
1 Space Marine Dreadnought
1 Ork Warboss
5 Ork Nobz
12 Ork Boyz
1 Ork Deffkopta
1 Battle for Vedros rulebook
8 Dice

Strange box. A single termie and 6 marines (combat squads are 5 man right?).

Still for 40 quid its not bad.

I think its quite cute actually
Flashback to the days of innosence.

TrueValue....the hardware store chain..... well you go where others would not think, maybe a father picking up some trimmer line will see it and remember playing it when he was a kid and buy it for his kid/kids. Too bad by brother in law works for Ace hardware instead of True Value, I could see pestering him to order me a whole rack at cost

Holy moly. That starter set is a hell of a value for an ork player.

Aobr gave you 8 more boyz and 2 more koptas for nearly twice the price. Anyone looking to build a core of an ork army, buying two of these boxes would be a fantastic start.

If I ever see one slightly cheaper, I might actually get one. Half a dozen Tacs aren't really much use save as test paint fodder, but the Orks are all nice sculpts (and who doesn't need more Orks?). Even if only for another copy of the AoBR Captain and Warboss (two of my favourite models) and the Dread (apart from the lack of options, every bit as good as the multi-part ones) it's a good set.

For the record, the Hobbytown with the 37122 zip code is in Mt. Juliet, TN. Slightly east of Nashville.

Surprised there aren't any around the Memphis area, their warehouse is there. Maybe Mid-South Hobby and Supplies will catch a few anyway.

Here is the question: Is this going to really capture new customers or simply get veteran gamers to drive to new locations to buy discounted minis and cut back on online retail sales?

Probably a little of both.

Yeah, if we can throw 40% off Michaels or Hobby Lobby coupons on these it'll be a really good way to build up a cheap army.

28 figures for $30 with those coupons? And there's a dreadnought and copter in there? That's pretty nice.

God - they're really not selling that 2 decade old, doesn't look like any modern Ork kit Ork Wartrakk are they? Is that really the impression they want to give new customers?

It'd be like having one of the boxes just randomly containing RT-era Space Marines.

Especially given it's the same crappy 3rd Ed Wartrakk from when Gorkamorka was released in 1997.

Surprisingly those RT marines would sell.

The kind of hilarious thing is that I would guess that the original mold for that thing would have long worn out by this point. They've probably made a new mold for that wartrak design at some point.

It's being marketed to toy store customers, rather than miniatures enthusiasts. And in that market, it's a perfectly acceptable sculpt.

As dated as the 2nd ed/Gorkamorka orks may look by current wargaming standards, they're still better than a lot of current action figures.

Interesting. The buggy has such awesome cover art it is really disappointed by comparison. That said, its a great bits model.

But it looks like they want $30 for it? Not a chance.

Anybody have pictures of the actual sprues in these? We've seen 'example' models but never gotten a definitive picture of what's in each box to my knowledge

No deffkopta? And that price for 30 year old old vehicles?

I showed the picture to my fiance and said "I cant wait until I finish painting my models so I can play these guys"

There's 1 deffkopta in the big set.
