Not sure if these are preorder or release dates. The prices for the bundles are odd as well, e.g. Abaddon's Warband costs more than the individual kits combined. I will update the OP as soon as more information is available.

There's also this:
This year, we've created 2 free gift bags. They've been designed just for our customers and are a great way to present gifts for the hobbyist in your life. Just pop your presents straight into the bag, you don't even have to wrap them! We'll randomly add one of these gift bags to every order of £100 and above while stocks last.

The other pages havent been leaked yet. The Aos and 40k deals came from another source but look to be from the same catalogue. There could be more.
The Abaddon bundle is more expensive in EUR than the sum of inidiviual boxes. Either a typo, a stupid try to trick customers (I dont think so) or there are more items tied to the bundle. Maybe spray paints and books?

That first company set.
£191 for 35 models. I'm not sure putting that up is a good idea for them, all it does for me just highlight how insanely priced marine models actually are.
Buying a single box of termies I can ignore how much they actually cost, because its still a relatively small amount of money,but that. It is just shouting 'we are too much money for what we are'.

The Relicos Militarum looks like a sweet design. I'd want to see if it's actually cheaper than buying a bunch of Shrine of the Aquillas, as I think it's priced at around the cost of 5 Shrines!
The Wych army is hilarious. Maybe there will be some forthcoming formation that makes Wyches actually not one of the most pointless units in the codex. What a waste of nice models, too.

The price difference, USD, is $68 over list. It could be a second Forgefiend...or a mistake or something. No real clue there.
The Hunter Cadre is currently $837 USD. The listed price in this booklet has it at $787, a $50 USD drop.
I should add as well that the Hunter Cadre is actually not a terrible set up. You have enough to do a full Hunter Cadre formation and if you cheap out and field a Drone Network(fielded from the Crisis Team/Strike/Breacher Teams' drones) you have a full Hunter Contingent.

The boxed sets(barring the scenery ones, which I can't check yet as there's something weird going on with the setups) save you around the price of a box/almost a whole box in there.

Nope, it's not.
I made the same mistake as you at first, but the WD was saying the kit was made of 16 sprues from 5 different kits. Problem is that it wasn't possible from what I was seeing as they were at least 4 shrines, some Remnants, one Basilica so we were already above 5 kits. Until I realized I misunderstood what the WD was saying.
The new scenery box doesn't contain full kits, just individual sprues from many different kits. For example you have the Eagle and ruin from the remnants but not the Statue, only part of the Shrine sprues and so on... thing is that the kit cost 200€ rrp for 16 sprues. So for barely more (207€ rrp), I could sell you 4 full Shrines, 1 box of remnant, one of Basilica and one Sanctum (at least theoretically as I seem to remember we no longer have access to the Shrine in store). Does anyone remember how many sprues are inside the full boxes as I'm curious to compare if it's actually a deal or not compared to individual boxes?

Warhams, thanks very much for the pics and the info and picture!
So... 16 sprues from 5 kits. This is actually a terrible deal, then. That's $15.62 per sprue ($250 for 16).
Imperial Sector is a total of 14 sprues for $120 from all of the same kits except for Shrine of the Aquilla (and Honored Imperium). The Shrine is $41 and you could add 3 of those and be under $250 (the price of Relicos). I think Shrine gives you 3 sprues each kit. So for 23 sprues for $240 = $10.40 per sprue.
Or, buy them separately. Basilica is a 3 sprue kit for $33 = $11 / sprue.
*cries*. I had really wanted a cheap way to access Shrine of the Aquilla, especially now that it's gone to web.
By the way, the 5 kits should be:
- Basilica Administratum
- Sanctum Imperialis
- Malefactorum
- Shrine of the Aquilla
- Honored Imperium
The Honored Imperium is the kit with the statue and ground aquilla and the piece of rubble; but it's really not a part of the building. It looks like they don't give you the statue sprue.
I don't see that many bits from Malefactorum and Sanctum Imperialis. I think if you were building this from buying boxes yourself, the cheapest way would be basilica and shrines, and skip the rest. Maybe one malefactorum or sanctum, just for a few different wall tiles.
Incidentally, one of the annoying things about combining Shrine with the other kits is that the building is a little taller than the other kits at 3 sections tall. This is why in the photo, you'll notice that all the adjoining walls to the Shrine sections are broken pieces.

Shrine of the Aquila is 4 sprues. You can look at the kit breakdown on GW's website.
One sprue is two intact wall sections, one sprue is the flooring/walkways, one sprue is the big huge eagle door, and the last sprue is the ruined wall sections with the eagle head and the front steps.
At the very least it gives you 4 of each of those Shrine of the Aquila sprues(which would be $165 for just the Shrines of the Aquila). I see no parts from the Manufactorum at all, but there's parts from the Basilica Administratum and Sanctum Imperialis--and of course the Honored Imperium's broken eagle and ruined masonry.

@Kanluwen - you are right: shrine is 4 sprues (I forgot you get the floor tiles). they don't give you all the shrine of Aquila sprues, though.
Looking at the picture, it appears that you get for sure 3 eagle pieces (3 sprues) and 4 noneagle pieces (2 sprues). The back wall isn't visible, unfortunately, so it
S hard to see.
You don't appear to get any of the broken pieces, but either way you only get 16 sprues.

You're right. But no matter how you cut it, 16 sprues is only worth about $170. And one of those sprues is Honored Imperium's aquilla, which most terrain junkies will have, and not want another of (it also does not contribute to a building).
If they gave us 4 full aquilla kits, 1 honored Imperium and 1each of at least two other kits, I'd be happy at 250 -- then it would be about 23 sprues.
Now, I guess, if you want that specific combination of 16 sprues, the deal is ok.

Fair enough -- it's not that there's no value in the box. It just isn't as good value for sprues of imperial buildings as other ways of buying those sprues.

Post by: Wulfson_40K
One day I'll remember that "Remnants of the Imperium" is not actually the name of a kit.
That new box boggles my mind, 200€ for 16 sprues instead of 207€ for 23 sprues if you buy them individually is hard to justify, additional mission/rules or not. But hey if some people really want it after being conscious of all of that then who am I to complain? In addition it's the only way to get shrines of the Aquila with a decent discount since they're now direct only which kind of slightly balances the price.
Still, what I really don't appreciate is that the box seems designed so that people don't actually realize the value of what they're buying. The way the AoS Fort content is so clearly presented in the WD compared to that one reinforces that feeling.

Nvs wrote:So the 40k terrain set is a best you guys are saying?
Best, or bust? 
If you specifically want to build the pictured structure, that's probably the cheapest way to do it. But the price for 16 Cities of death sprues (15, if you don't count the ground Aquila) is not optimal, and if you spent a little more, you could build relics AND have a whole bunch of other really useful city building sprues (to build other buildings).
The only other reason to get it IMO is that you get 3+ eagle pieces from Shrine, and being web-only, may be more expensive or harder to get in terms of discounts.

Post by: Reese
Yeah, the Relicos is a bizarre kit.
The pre-order pics make it a bit better as it is clear you get 4 Eagle Head/Door Pieces, but you only get 2 Full Aquila Walls and 6 Broken Ones. Then half an honored imperium (without the best piece!), and then some unclear assortment of Basilica, Sanctum and Floors.
Not horrible at a discount if you really want the Eagle Pieces, but like you say Talys, not a great dollar per sprue value.
The Khornetress end pieces have to come out individually in the future surely? And yes I know the logical responses to that question!

I've added up some of them, and they don't make sense. I must be missing something.
The only way for some of these bundles to even remotely make sense is if there are duplicate of some of the items that aren't mentioned...
That or Black Friday doesn't means what I thought it means and is actually synonymous with "Day of Suffering and Despair" for customer's wallet.

Yep the bundles as they appear are actually more expensive than buying stuff separately. So there must be either multiples of some boxes or extra free stuff like a Codex or similar.

My local manager got confirmation that there is indeed multiples of kits, we wont know exactly how many of each until they go on sale.

I don't think anyone expected a Forge World sale ? Why would they, they are in competition with no one with that stuff plus the free shipping voucher offer is on.

Huh. Interesting. They brought back a bunch of rules bundles(?).

And GW is in competition with...? Mantic? Privateer? [insert any random wannabe 'unique' miniature salesman]? Competition plis Yet they are still doing bundles.
You are still paying at least 11 gbp for that free shipping voucher, unless you spend 250

The Eldar bundle in CAD is $335, and the non-sale price is $337.25
The Forge World deal is a good one if you only want one GBP75 model anyways, like a tank or whatever. You end up paying the shipping, but then the NEXT super expensive little robot dude will be free of shipping
I may end up going for it just to get the Leviathan dreadnought :X

I am betting that there are duplicates of some of the kits included.
Of the bundles for my army, the Space Marines Veterans and Death Company Assault, neither anything I need or want right now. I don't need that much DC.

First post of this very thread has photos of some of the bundles. The Eldar one contains 3 boxes of Wraithguard.
So yeah. There's definitely duplicates.

As cool as it is seeing GW throwing together some discounted bundles I'm a bit disappointed in the price points.
Setting the boxes in the £100 range would make sense for some impulse purchases from folk like me who find it hard to resist starting new armies sometimes but the £200-400 price tags definitely make you think twice! No thanks!

There was a one-click bundle on the website during the End Times called the Savage Waaagh that had 40 Night Goblins, the spider, River Trolls, 20 Savage Orcs and the Savage Orc Warboss. If that's the same content in this that's a 20% discount, which seems likely.

Skyborne Slayers and Brass Stampede have also disappeared from the GW site and look to be getting roughly 20% discounts in this deal. Pretty tempting.

Does anyone remember when this plastic Libby came out? I genuinely cannot remember it being released:

@H.B.M.C: iirc, he was part of either last year's BA release, or else he came with the DA stuff earlier this year. I'm pretty sure though he was part of the BA stuff.

Post by: H.B.M.C.
But that was the BA Termy Libby:
I remember a lot of us lamenting the fact that it was covered in BA iconography rather than being a generic any-Chapter mini.
And now we have this generic any-Chapter Libby. I just don't remember it being released...

Even after converting Australian dollar to US dollar those deals don't look great.
Maybe there will be more of a discount than direct currency conversion suggests...

Generic Terminator Librarian came out during the third week of Codex: Space Marine releases back in June. He was even on the cover of White Dwarf.

Just looking at Australian prices the bundles appear to be 15%-20% cheaper than regular prices.

Which you can get all year long at online stores (in the US at least), with the added bonus of buying exactly what you want.
Oh well, at least GW is trying

And you can spread out the cost over a number of months rather than spending $XXX in one go.

My local manager said that the deals which appear to be really bad in the brochure (i.e. cost more than the individual components combined) is because the leaflet is really badly done and there are contents missing. He assures me everything is a genuinely good deal when you factor in the actual box contents.

He came out at the same time as the Dark Angels Interrogator Chaplain and the Space Marine codex -- I think featuring the Librarian formation. EDIT: WD Issue 72, release date 6/20/2015.

We thought th end times were when Nagash invaded the old world, or perhaps some thought when it was the new codex: Eldar released.
No, these are the true end times - GW is having a sale.

I'm pretty disapointed in this sale, the savings are no more than ~20%.
Sure, better than no sale at all, but these are prices I can get everywhere.

I suppose for GW these represent a good deal.
My only disappointment is that none of the paint sets are included in their sale. I might be tempted by one of these if the reduction was enough but I can get them for 25% off anyway so probably not.

Post by: Herzlos
It's the massive entry price that's put me off. I'd snap up a few things at a good discount for a throw-away price, but the cheapest bundle I've seen is £155.
For example, in Warlords sale, they are selling loose sprues at half price (£1.50-£3 each), doing a buy-3-tanks-get-20%-off and so on. So I can get a good deal without busting a couple of months hobby budget.
And even then, I can probably beat the 20% discount if I made a deal with an indy for the same stuff.

These are all good deals, but they aren't good Black Friday deals. BF deals would be things like selling retired kits for like 80% off or single items for large discounts.
That said, the Death Company has me tempted. But I am done buying BA until they get FAQ'd or get a new codex.

The dwarf one is tempting for me. £135 for a Runelord a Gyrocopter kit 2x Irondrakes and 2x Hammerers...
Not sure I actually want that many stunties though haha

The Dwarf one tempts me the most too. All plastic, and probably gives a sign those units are surviving to the new world. Wanting an ally for my Stormcast but never painted a Dwarf before and not sure how easy to do. Nice that they include new bases.

I wrote this in another thread, but I though it would be interesting to bring up here.
While these might be some of the better deals GW's ever had on their online store, they are kind of terrible Black Friday sales.
I've read that the average american spends around $800 on Christmas gifts; of that $130 is for themselves. The remaining amount will usually get split 16 ways: around $40 per person. So a good Black Friday sale aught to shoot for either the self giver at around $130, or for allowing the giver to get the maximum value out of that $40 allotment.
GW's holiday sales ask you to shaft your friends and family.
