I wanted those Chosen but after seeing the price for just 5 models I am out.

You guys do know if you go on eBay or trade sites, you can find the chosen, ogroids etc for half or under? They're very common because of the launch box

You do know that it is about absurdly priced minis not about finding them cheaper on ebay?

If you want the stuff and there's cheaper options, then you take them. And as always, price is in the eye of the beholder.

Yes but those second hand battle box prices are only temporary. If you want them today and can afford them today its great; but in a years time they won't be there at those prices.

The StD release box (10 Chosen, Daemon Prince and 3 not-ataurs) is still for sale on the GW site, if people wanted to try and get a cheaper source.

You realize right that supply for cheaper is limited? Do you think ebay sellers will keep getting more forever? Ebay sellers cast their own sprues?

As is more likely they will up price...

The chosen literally follow the same pricing model as many other “elite” AOS units so I’m not sure why anyone was surprised at the pricing.

This is a unit that is 240 points for 5. You don’t need tens of them. If you do then price to points wise it’s pretty good so you are still king a cheap ish army.

Just noticed they haven't released the warscrolls pack this week. Shame.

There was a note in the launch article on Warhammer Community that there's no plans to release them outside of the box for now.

Ah, thats a shame. I find them useful for small solo-coop games, instead of thumbing through the books.

Quite a solid release overall, lots of new plastic kits for the core models of the army.

I wonder if beasts of chaos will be getting a similar level of attention or if it'll be a splash beastlord + book + weak vanguard set replacing the excellent value start collecting box.

I picked up two BoC start collecting boxes before they go OOP, now to hope that the vanguard set has some gors or minotaurs in there.

A new tuskgor chariot or centigors would be really welcome, it's a very neglected mini range that has had almost nothing since 7th edition WHFB over 10 years ago. The underworlds beastmen set was really great.

Expect the latter, I believe. Beastlord preview mentioned nothing else, only that there'd be a more in-depth look at the new battletome later on.

If there's one positive to being an outdated range, it's that the units actually in plastic are all relatively cheap enough to include a lot of them in a Vanguard set

Well we have two hints; in Thondia there is art of a bullgor and it does not look like the current minis at all, completely different. Given that GW generally has art stick pretty close to the minis it could mean a new kit there.

Then in Warcry there is a decently large region on the Gnarlwood map prominently labelled 'Centigor Hills' or somesuch. From the release schedule it is looking like each named region on the map will have some mini(s) associated with them.

But ultimately I'm not expecting anything. This is BoC after all.

They're getting a new book an entire new model. That should keep them happy for the next half decade.

Hey its more than Dwarves get besides endless (every single book) mentions and hints that Gotrek will unite them all and lead them on a great recovery of their holds and the realm of metal.

I dunno, I think that is composed more of people reading into things too much than actual evidence.

My battleplan revolved around 10 of them and a chaos lord working together to smash face.

I mean he's pretty blunt with his stance on wanting to return Dwarves to their holds and return them to power and all. It's been a core focus of at least two of the books. Sure he's not actually got anywhere with it, but its where he's been heading or at least trying to head. Then again each book tends to end up with him getting a new sub-focus and never really finding that either so he's jumping aorund a bit.


Of course considering that his quest through the whole of Old World was to find his Doom and he NEVER found it, it might be worrying if his new thing is finding a restoration for the Dwarves! They might have to wait until madness seeps into GW management and they axe Age of Sigmar to relaunch the brand as Age of the Dwarf!

Literally his real Doom were the friends he made along the way.

What's that above the Ghorghon in the upper right corner, to the right of the endless spell?

Enlightened tzaangor, maybe?

Yeah, Enlightened with spears

Man those new art pieces are bad ASS*, props to the artist(s)!

*The Pun is always intended

I don't know if this has been talked about, but FW removed all of the AoS models from range now completely. Except for the 6 Demons.

And those are only there because they are shared over 40K and 30K. This has happened every year now around this time with FW removing a chunk of AoS models - a huge shame to have lost so many awesome sculpts over the years.

On the flip side, it means things will be staying plastic over resin. And hopefully that means kits like the mornghul, dread saurian etc will make the transition over.

Ummm...GW hasn't been doing plastic->FW resin conversions so nothing stays plastic due to this.

All it means is you can't buy these models.
