Should this be the case then, well, the Squigrig thingy is a pricey model:


The Squigosaur seems to be the same price as a box of Beastsnagga Boyz.


For anyone unable to watch the video:

Kill Rig / Hunta Rig / Wurrboy £78.50
Squigosaur / Mozrog £31.50
Painboss £23.50


Spits out kompot

£78.50?!

The Battlewagon is £60! And they just gave it a price hike!


Gotta charge those premium new kit prices, how else can they assert their dominance in the new release? I guess the BW at least beats out the Kill Rig in IRL money cost if not in-game cost efficiency lol.


Didn't they recently nerf it?


I believe just the harpoon/stikka ruling preventing it from immobilizing models like Flyers and how its timed between shooting and charging, but as far as points costs go and everything else, nothing much has changed. Though I do expect it to receive a price hike by the time the next Chapter Approved comes out.

They nerfed an interaction which was unlikely to actually happen during real games.

I imagine most Ork players are just gonna glue a Squig to the front of a Battlewagon.

I mean the unit isn’t even keyword squig just uncover the Howdah and put a weirdboy on top and done. I’m going to buy one Killrig but in any list I use 2 the magnetized battlewagon w weirdboy is going to be the other.

I'm not sure why any of those are surprising? There's a £70+ big ass model in most releases now (see monolith/silent king, belakor, birb fella for orruks), so the rig is on point there, if anything the squigasaur is a little lower than expected.

Squig boss is probably cheaper since it has a named and generic, and isn't aiming for the certerpice role, so is priced to sell multiples.

Poor New Zealand: first Kentucky Fried Chicken traffic, now the Rigs are $50 more expensive than Battlewagons.

Have to wonder what's going to happen to the 'nauts and Stompa.

GW has an amazing ability to make me initially think "I want that" and then immediately think "Yeah, nah, no thanks" upon seeing the price.

I should probably thank them, my house would be absolutely full of their models if they didn't have insane pricing

And we thought the Black Coach was absurd when it was AUD$150 over the $98 Mortis Engine. Mortis Engine almost seems cheap by comparison.

Fun fact: Buying two Kill-Rigs will let you hit the $420 needed to get that new Primaris Marine.

It's sad that people told me I was too negative on what GW would do when they were asking for a new boyz kit up to the point of some throwing about enough insults to get banned for it...

... and then GW went and made a box that proved me correct on price being the same as necron warriors, mono pose, removal of all additional bits, 'ard boyz, extra heads and lower model count.
But wait, there is more - not even I envisioned GW also cutting 7 shootas and 5 choppa/sluggas from the kit.

I hope everyone wishing for new boyz is happy now. Let's hope they keep the old kit around, I'm definitely ordering some to make sure I have enough of them for future conversions.

Of the three, and given GW character pricing, the Mega-Boss looks almost reasonable, as he does seem fairly chunky.

Deffkoptas will be good as well. Before this plastic trio, three metal models were much more expensive. And buying from 2nd hand market, three plastic AOBR koptas in perfect conditions didn't and don't really cost less than what the deffkoptas kit will cost. It may even be cheaper than buying three 2nd had koptas actually.

A few years ago those new Boyz would be sold as EtB and be half the price of a proper kit.

Alas those days are long gone already.

Considering that it's cheaper than the previous metal mono-pose model without options as well as the second hand price for mono-pose out-of-print pushfit models without options... yes?

Mono-pose also hardly matters on a unit like koptas, and players really were just asking for them to bring back AOBR koptas - which they did, but better.

Yes, it is actually. Before the new kit you would have need to pay an higher price for a mono-pose no-option metal metal with awful weapon or pay the same price (if not more) for a mono-pose no-option OOP plastic model off ebay.

Yeah I really hope everyone who said Orks 'needed' (or 'deserved') a new Boyz kit enjoy their mono-pose optionless crap.

'It's cheaper than finding out of production models from a third party, or buying a model made in a much more expensive material' isn't the best line of argument to my mind.

Neither is 'well the decades-old model and starter set models had no options, so it's fine that the new kit has none either'.

I mean.
Compared to other options it's still better.
Of course it would've been preferable to be like £20 for three, but at least it's not worse than it used to be.
