True. Though even if the two sets are 65 total, I don’t think 50 is a huge markdown. Especially as I don’t think you will get the Underworlds cards for Khagra’s band. It would be a pretty awesome looking Warband for Warcry. You can use the Warriors as Warriors and the Hunt as Marauders. Hopefully the box set will have some points for the doggo, Theddra, and Zarshia, as well as something allowing them to be used in a Slaves Warcry band. It would give some cool options to the faction and make for a fun Warband.

I don't care for Blood Bowl but I'm getting a little upset that I can't get Blitz Bowl here.

Definitely understandable. I don’t know what possessed GW to only release Blitz Bowl limited to certain countries. People have been asking for a quicker, rules light BB for years. It was popular to the point of getting additional releases and a second edition that was a best seller on the Barnes and Noble site. You think it would be easy money to just carry it as a normal product. Heck they could even sell single sprues of the teams as a web store exclusive for a bit more than half a BB box and make even more on an existing product.

That's exactly what I am hoping. I do not play Underworlds, but was really thinking of getting Kargha's warband for another unrelated skirmish game (Brutality: Skirmish Wargame), and got bummed when I saw the price hike of the new Underworlds warbands to $40. But if I can pay just a little bit more to get this boardgame - and get the marauder warband besides- then I am really, really intrigued. Doubly so if the rules included allow both warbands to be used in "full" Warcry.
Then I can use a combo of both warbands to not only get into local games of Warcry (a game I haven't touched yet), but to also combining models from each warband will work REALLY well in Brutality, giving the melee Chaos warriors and their Mage a couple of lightly-armored ranged models and the fast-moving warhound.

Its the only perk we have living in the US. We miss out on Hatchett, Games Day and Warhammer World exclusive models, and the occasional Space Marine Hero model not repackaged for the US games.

Believe me most of Europe misses out on all of those too.
