Next question. Are the other "core" factions going to get a Core Box, or just an Arcane Journal and a big wad of individual kits?

Because, although there are some nice models mixed in there, I have zero interest in either Tomb Kings or Bretonnia.
If, say, Wood Elves are going to get a core box, I'll wait for that and get the rules and stuff with the models. Otherwise I might as well just buy the rules now when they are available.

Nobody can say 100%. But...probably?

I'm just hoping the metals are priced more sanely than MTO metals. Would like a lot of the Brets

Gonna be really interesting to see how prices compare to aftermarket for things like Grail Knights and the reliquiae.

You can probably look at middle-earth for an equivalent to that. 2 infantry metals are £16, a mounted and foot hero are close to £30. The other stuff will probably cost more because "new".

3x metal Rohan Riders for $60 feels expensive but is a hell of a lot cheaper than buying 3x Grail Knights right now

Also, plastic cav kits seem to be $45 for 5x. That'd be fine with me!

Depends, you need minimal royal guard, you'll need a hell of a lot more knights.

So if some of the bigger infantry is moving to 30mm... how will they rank up with larger leaders?

Friend of mine suggested Temple Guard on 30mm... and there's no 60mm, so how does a Slann rank with them?

For sure, a proper brick of Grail Knights is probably still not going to be cheap.

Two new boxes every three months? Six months? Maybe we'll get a road map at release.

almost every other manufacturer has phased out metal models because they don't want or can't raise prices to compensate the higher raw material costs, don't expect GW to not do that but still keep up the usual profit margin

Pricing for Rest of World region, doesn't seem like it's any different from US Pricing when comparing prices on the website between regions

Not the same price for Khemri and Bretonnia Box is interesting
Books cheaper than expected
Units from the box are not part of the first wave is expected but that the Pegasus Lord and AST is not the same kit is unexpected

Nearly 400 for tomb kings when you total the books on top. That has to be the most expensive start i've ever seen them do.

Pegasus lord and standard bearer being different kits was known. They were presented as separate kits and the lord was only described as building a Duke or a baron, whereas the BSB was described as a Paladin.

About £200 for the Bret big box puts it firmly in the "wait and see what happens" category for me. Not prepared to risk that sort of money so early in the new year without knowing the level of support and required investment to keep playing.

Still no mention of app at launch which is another turn off for me.

There's no app for HH either.

I really feel like a lot of you guys still don't understand what kind of a product line this is or have realistic expectations of the kind of support to expect.

The TK big set being just under the cost of Ash wastes set in EU is surprising.

Necrosphinx is about €60.

The movement trays are about €32.50.

I'm honestly overall pleased if that is the sort of prices we are looking at. The movement trays are a touch on the ridiculous side, I was really expecting them to be about €20. I'm a big fan of them, they are a wonderful convenience but I do hope I can do my bulk order via FLGS instead.

€60 for a big kit is pretty good, I was really expecting AoS pricing here.

I thought the launch sets were going to be €300+, and if they are not launch sets but rather permanent products I can see them being great value via FLGS.

I suspect we will be hit hard with the cost of metal models, I started collecting MESBG models during the pandemic, so I've seen how awful the current metal pricing is.

The double sized infantry sets ie: Tomb Guard look to be about €65. Not totally awful, at least you get a single unit in one go. But goodbye building an army up on a budget (Tales of four gamers would suck with these modern sizes/prices. If they could even afford it... everyone month would just be a single unit boxset. )

I'm sorry, but those sorts of prices for models that old is disgustingly foul.

I think the TK one is just under the £185 of the Ash Wastes, so presumably the Brets are ~£150?

About as expected, the only thing that caught me off guard was the cost of the movement trays. Those are way too overcosted IMO and most players will need a bunch of them.

Haven't found $255 but $250 is €200 and £164. I could be tempted by the Bretonnian set at around £135 after discounts.

I see Bretonnian Foot Knights on the price list but not in todays article.

Well Movement Trays at 32.50€ is on expensive side but it all depends how much you get for that sum.

And there is alternatives for movement trays so it is not doom & gloom on that part.

2x200mmx200mm sheets.

So for 25mm infantry 8x8 sheet twice dividable.

It was pricey bag then, still is. Luckily alternatives exist.


Big problem being waste pieces. 5x1 isn't that useful to have for example.


And being designed when 30mm wasn't a thing complicates.

Did i miss a point or are none of the core troops available outside the big box?

$9 a model for cav you need to buy in bulk seems fine?!?!?!

I was preparing myself for 300 for the box, so this is fine. I'm gonna do the box and the two indexes for sure, plus the tk cards.

So that's going to be what? 500$+ AUD?

Is GW still arbitrarily tripling the pound price to determine the AUD price?

Just noticed this lists the knights of the realm on foot, even though warcom doesnt list them. Ask is $80, same price as 20 tomb guard. I had assumed they'd come in boxes of 10 but looks like boxes of 20?

They've only been pictured in units of 10. What they picture is what you get in the box.
