Real shame that. The Space Marine Heroes Plaguecaster is a vastly superior model to Lord Huff'n'Puff from Dark Imperium.

It's one big'un.

If it wasn't, they would split up and sell it that way.

These releases exist because they're not going to make new/re-cut sprues for these units. If there was a clampack Judiciar or Bladeguard Ancient, this box wouldn't exist. Ditto for the Plasmancer, Skorpek Lord or Reanimator.

I like how the Royal Court set contains one non-Royalarch, one outcast, and three canoptekh constructs, but no actual Lords...

It's the Royal Court, aka the hanger-ons, not the Royalty themselves.

Speaking of Wardens, I love the facebook groups discovery you can buy five Royal Wardens off ebay slightly cheaper than buying a unit of Immortals.

Pretty sure it's just one frame.

At $75 with the Eradicators and the Bladeguard vets, this would fly off the shelf. And ebay would be flooded with the characters. 2x3 very nice squads are going to sell better then another 5 intercessors.

If it was around the $70 mark, I'd be interested. Somehow I have this feeling like GW will make it extra over pricey just to make me say " Oh GW. never change. ".

Preorder is up, and I got news for you.

280nz dollars = about 140usd. I couldn't find an exact conversion as I didn't see any other New Zealand 280 sprue, but 264nz = 130usd by gw logic.

So...140$ for a single sprue from a 200$ box. I think the scalpers on ebay are safe for awhile.

Adjusting for inflation, is this the most expensive sprue in the history of GW? Amazing

Both Morathi and Alarielle for Age of Sigmar are $280 NZ and are $138 US. The Necron box is the same price as a AT Warlord Battle Titan at $110 US.

110€ when Indomitus was 140€.

What kind of cocaine are they snorting.

Check out the massively downsized Killzones they're chucking out. I think there's been a pandemic strategy meeting where they've committed hard to mercilessly jacking up prices going forwards. Big fat albino coke slugs were potentially featured.

So $110 for some snapfit necrons, which most people were selling for $45-50 on ebay. Really regretting not buying them now, but I got the skorpekh and cryptek for pretty cheap

Pretty sure my local still has an Indomitus box, if not two. The store about 50 minutes away had _10_ when I was in there last month.
This is just crazy.

Glad I grabbed a second Indomitus box this week .

I'm just gonna buy another Dark Uprising box, that'll cheer me up.

That is some Grade A Premium Pricing there. Nearly twice the price for the same size sprue.

Dang, ￥20,000. Straight to the top of the most expensive Space Marine kits. For a single sprue. Wack.

In NZ land that Space Marine sprue is more expensive than Command Edition. Absolutely incredible. And the Necrons for 110? I just bought both the Plasmancer and the Skorpekh Lord on EBay for 18 dollars total after tax and with free shipping. I saw a Reanimator for 22 and the Cryptothralls for 14.

Not to mention full Indomitus boxes are still floating around for 200 or less.

Absolutely bonkers.

Yeah, £89 for a single sprue of Space Marines? GW really have no shame.

I hope that nobody buys them as it will send a strong message, but there are bound to be a few that bite.

I’m not on social media, but I hope that people who are are being very vocal about these prices right now.

HaHaHaHaHa!

What? You're Serious?!

I got a good laugh out of it. Let it not be said that GW doesn't provide free entertainment occasionally.

I agree but Indomitus was 155 EUR. Those 110 EUR are surely to push the sale of the last Indomitus copies in shops everywhere and make the individual kits prices look 'more
tempting'.

Before you know it, the usual suspects on dakka will be telling you what a bargain it is. Breaking it down into 9 single characters that would normally be £22.50 each. At a low price of £89, it's a bargain!!!

But yeah, £89 for 1 plastic sprue. Ahhahahahaha...

as mentioned above, all it will do is drive people to buy the last of the Indomitus boxes in stores......all as planned

It is a ridiculous price point for sure.

So the necron one is $110, and the SM is $140. Which, combined, cost more than Indomitus, despite lacking most of the units? No necron warriors, outriders, main HQ options, etc. That's crazy.

How is GW trying to justify the space marine one? "Oh, a chaplain costs $35, eradicators and bladeguard cost $50, so it's like getting the judicar and ancient for free." That's insane. They're good models, but none have any variety or options...

More like, "You get 5 units for the low, low price of $140. Compare to the full retail of $35 a character and $50 a unit. That's a 32% discount over the units separately!"

I'm not normally one to criticize GW's pricing policies. WH40K is a luxury product with luxury prices. But when you can put three different large sprue choices side by side and the prices are this different, you have to wonder what they are thinking?

For Completeness:

Heroes of the Chapter: $75 USD

Necrons Royal Court: $110 USD

Honored of the Chapter: $140 USD

Good thing I don't collect Space Marines

I think this is one of the biggest indicators of why getting rid of start collectings! was a terrible idea.

There's no reason they couldn't have made two start collectings out of this boxset, minus a few units, and sell them for $100. Same with Dark Imperium's Death Guard. They had no issue doing this with Shadowspear, or the AOS starter set. Yeah, you won't get every model from the original set, but it's still a lot more fair than whatever THIS is

And they would be pretty awesome deals and likely sell very well. Both the CSM and Vanguard SM start collectings are good value and contain a good assortment of choices. They already made their money off these sprues.....might as well sell more and not have them languish in a warehouse forever.

Well, it pushed me into buying the Chaplain from ebay, so the guy selling that to me at least got a sale from this (though I'm guessing he hasn't seen this release yet otherwise it would have been a bit pricier I think).

Yeah, I think we will see the divided stuff on eBay go really fast now. Glad I got the Skorpehk Lord and Plasmancer when I did. I can’t imagine they will stay at a sub 10 dollar price point after these sprue announcements.

Edit: As there is someone on EBay selling the Necron Sprue for 46 USD and free shipping in the states if anyone wants the whole lot but a cheaper price tag.

Well I did also bought Bladeguard Ancient separately with few other things and by pricing I think I got cheap. Especially when I bought Outriders from the same source way before it was an separate kit.

I just don't honestly understand pricing on those marine sets, even more so when those are ETB.
