Fun fact: the Chaos bastion is ten quid more in price, all because it comes with a spiky bits sprue.

If you look at the details for the aegis defense line it comes with a quad autocannon emplacement. I foresee many people buying this just to get the bits to make plastic Hydras. I know I for one will do exactly that.

Wow, why in hell would GW do that? Now instead of people having to order Hydras from FW, they can just buy one of these, and a chimera, and be good to go. FW will lose a few sales! Will they never stop stealing things from FW and making them cheaper!
(Sarcasm, since I've been taken seriously before when I say crap like this )

I'll be ordering a rediculous amount of these for my shops, and stocking up on Chimeras. For myself, I want 9. Guard get 3 for hydras, 2 for my defence laser, and at least 4 to make Flakkadakka's for my apoc orkies. The Guard can have all the defense lines.

I'm REALLY annoyed now, GW take their imperal Bastion, slap some spikes on it, and expect us to pay £10 extra? This is ridiculous!

On the other hand, the defence line is under £12...

It comes with TWO Chaos Tank Accessories sprues that sell for £4.90 each. What, you thought GW would just pick them off the shelf and give them to you for free?

Actually, with the exchange rate right now, the hydra still is a pretty decent buy from FW. That autocannon on the Defence Line looks nice (not as nice as the FW one), but it's still 20 bucks for that plus a wall. How many walls will someone need?

Not quite the same company. GW Group owns all the various pieces. FW is a totally separate company from GW North America. GWNA buys from GW manufacturing in Memphis and resells to my stores and the rest of the US. FW selling gazillions of dollars of stuff helps FW, and GW Group. GWNA makes nothing from what they sell at GD and through mailorder, and I've been told also nothing from what is sold at the bunkers.

So the company that I deal with, that gives my stores prize support for events, and who's budget is dependent on it's sales, they make no money off FW. But, they will make a lot off of the PS scenery, and so will my stores. From that standpoint, they are totally different companies.

And on a personal note, I can get my stuff wholesale from GWNA, and not from FW.

Think some pricing errors are sneaking onto GW site. £25.00 for 10 Plastic Greatswords?! And now an extra tenner for some spikes on the Bastion. Neither can be correct. If I wanted a Chaos Bastion, I'd buy an Imperial one and stick a spare Chaos Icon on top. Job done

Seriously, Chaos Rhinos are the same price as their Imperial counter-parts, so why this nonsense?!

The chaos bastion just don't look chaossy enough. I know all your need is spikes to make it chaossy... maybe it just needs even more spikes? and like 1 more skull somewhere.

how big are those autocannons you get in the defense line? are they like guard heavy weapon team sized, or hydra sized? if it's the later it looks like i'll be spending even more money.. yay! Maybe I should just buy stock in whoever GW gets their plastic from?

I really think most sane gamers that play Chaos and want to do fortifications could do as good or better with bitz box leftovers and the Imperial kit. If you're doing a bunch of sections, maybe add a WHFB Zombie or Skeleton box to add some flavor (and skulls).

I hope you are right. But I bet a million quatloos you're wrong.

it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

Agreed. It's just the imperial version with spikes and dragon head gun barrels. It looks like something I could make myself.

GW sometimes casts objective markers and whatnots in resin, as with the Cities of Death strategem or the previous two series of barricades.

I'm still having trouble seeing any form of steps/stairs/elevators/ramps for that landing pad...

Are they there somewhere?

Or is everyone expected to just jump down?

And "10 fingers" up?

Plus, this bit is interesting:

"The Skyshield landing pad used by the Imperial Navy, though originally purpose-built to accommodate Valkyrie and Vendetta gunships, is robust enough to serve even the Thunderhawks of the Adeptus Astartes"

So buy the standard one, save yourself £10 (or regional equivalent) and convert it up yourself. Me, I quite like the idea of either crudely daubed symbols, or banners hung over the ramparts. And perhaps an Eye of Horus flag would look good as well.

It's typical GW Conversion fare. More expensive, and for the lazier gamer. Nowt wrong with the concept really, nor with being lazy when it comes to terrain!
