So, looking at these new apoc formations that are available.

So far this is what ive found.
The flanking force costs exactly the same as buying the units individually.
The breatheren of the great wolf costs the same as buying the units individually

And not surprisingly, the Great company... It costs more to buy that whole giant box set than to buy them individually.

Yeah, way to go GW.

Arent these kinds of deals meant to save people money to make them more appealing?

Do we really need another thread for this to be discussed in? No where does it state these save you money. Move along

GW saving people money? I don't think I've ever even thought about that.

Aside from free shipping on orders over...what, seventy dollars now? I don't think you can get a discount on anything directly from GW.

If you were to look over the bundles, you actually get less than what you're paying for. I believe I heard about the Catachan one: you can buy 3 Battleforces for the same price, and you end up with the same number of models + about 6 extra guys + 3 Sentinels!! GW are really fething themselves and us over on this one. They had a chance to redeem themselves a bit with some new Apoc deals like last time (10 Leman Russes for £150 anyone?) but no, we get crappy One-Click Bundles and intensive scamming.

To me, what is more insulting/disturbing about the bundles, is that they seem to be exactly what Apoc is designed to push. Here is new game, you must buy 20 tanks or 300 new models to play it! Oh, I guess if you already have a bunch of models you could do that too... i guess... If you have to...but! one click bundles!

I'm more complaining about how the space wolf's big bundle is actually about $70-$80 more expensive than buying the models individually..

Note to the reader: my username is not arrogance. No, my name is taken from the most excellent of commanders: Lord Castellan Creed, of the Imperial Guar- I mean Astra Militarum - who has a special rule known only as "Tactical Genius"... Although nowhere near as awesome as before, it now allows some cool stuff for the Guar- Astra Militarum - player. FEAR ME AND MY TWO WARLORD TRAITS.
