Nah. They'll be more expensive than that. Same size, frames, and price as Bloodcrushers (six for $100, also known as 18 for $300).

I think part of the problems that GW are only just settling on the best way to do the battletomes. There was also the problem that everyone was using pretty much the same list when playing.
Stormcast are the poster boys for AoS, so to leave them languishing with 2 outdated books would be a bad move.

We are now at the point where the Stormcast feel like a full army. I would not expect another major release for them for a while.
It seems increasingly likely that the next two releases will be Duardin (who apparently got delayed to do their book in the new format) and shadow elves (possibly alongside Slaneesh)

In a couple of weeks GW will do their preview event at Adepticon.
If GW show off more Stormcast I think we will have cause for concern, but at this stage I think the balance of releases is OK especially given the breakneck pace of releases (three battletomes, 3 40k campaign books, 2 boardgames, 30k, bloodbowl and lotr in 3 months)

Do you remember how much three Bloodcrushers were?


$58 or thereabouts. They doubled the size and knocked $16 off the price.

Yeah it all depends, but what I've noticed is just such a nuisance. Sigmarines get the whole enchilada, and I hope they change it up this next quarter. If they don't though and release just another onslaught of sigmarine parakeet madness it'd be tough to keep in the game. I play old school Greenskinz for those that questioned if I even played Sigmar. They're a descent and fun army, but with all the named characters Sigmarines are getting I just hope they spread the love to even Grots.

Named character sigmarines? They have ONE named character, and the guy is named after a bloody hammer.

But yeah, they got a hefty army, though we won't see anything from them if GW keeps the release schedule from last year.

I pray every day that they never get around to a grot release, what if they screw up and make grots super broken? tournaments would have to go down to 500pts just to get games finishing consistently in 3 hours again.
