4 Boxes of witches (4 x $60) and a cauldron of blood ($75) is $315?

Apparently it also includes the plastic Sorceress kit.


Where do you see that. I've heard this argument, but no sorceress kit is listed in the contents or shown in the pictures, besides what is already included COB kit.

I've got a question in to GW right now about it. This would not be the first time they have messed up labeling the contents of one of these bundles.

As to what I said, the item description says it is a "sorceress and her murderous coven". That does not fit for either Hellebron or a Death Hag, as they are not sorceresses.

Wonder how the battalion is going to be set up. We'll likely see it next month with the Executioners/Black Guard and the Dark Riders/Warlocks.


Well based on the Cult of Khaine kit, it will be a rip off. You know GW charges for the convenience of one click.

You know that this is not a "kit", right? You get the individual boxes, not a unique item.

for using Dean Ambrose.

The price difference is exactly the cost of the Sorceress though.


Indeed. They have how long to put these pages together? It' not like they're thrown together he night before yet they seem to feth up these 1-click deals so many times.

If I buy a bunch of individual tools and put them in a box thats still a tool kit right? That still makes it a kit and doesn't explain the extra price right?

Oh and wow boxes....WTF?

If you put a bunch of frames in one box, its a model kit. If you put a bunch of boxes containing frames into one bigger box, its a one click collection.


Tools and Tool kits have no relevance here as tools are not models.

Its still a kit, I have my football kit. Its the same. Semantics aside, it still sucks as a one click collection. Can't call it a one click deal because its not a DEAL.

GW fanboys have to argue semantics because you got nothing else. Sheesh?

I'm not a GW fanboy at all. Lets not start throwing names around just because your too damn stubborn to understand the difference between a collection of model kits all under one button, and one model kit.

vague wording... I am at my local GW, and the manageris saying the same thing. A yet to be seen Dark Elf Sorceress (not the one in the caldron kit), is part of the deal....

Huh? Not in picture of deal. Vague wording. On top of that, the pic of deal looks like groups of 5 witches, not 10, very poorly done GW.... Dropping the ball like Xbox One!

What does this say about GW's prices that you have to be coming down from a drug-induced stupor to justify to yourself to buy them.

Aye, that could be argued. Oh and I also approve of the Dean Ambrose, can never have too much WWE.




Regarding the Black Guard and Executioners, I like them both, will be aiming to get a squad of twenty for each. Hopefully the Dark riders and the chariot will also look pretty awesome.

Whats not to like about the Medusa and the Witch Elves - they are some of the best versions that GW have done IMO. lots of movement and style, the Sisters of Slaughter I would more likely use in my Dark Eldar army. I also like the new crossbows - sadly I hate the prices of the Witch Elves :(

Curious as to what were you looking for in the new Witch Elves?

Perhaps a sane price point so that actually buying boxes of them would be an option.

GW might make some bad artistic choices here and there but the shear volume of AMAZING bitz these days is overwhelming. There is no excuse for bad looking miniatures anymore... just convert it cool.

This release in no exception (Inq retinues and Dark Eldar are in for a treat)... some great individual pieces , it just so happens that when in the 'original factory' configurations things seem to get a bit goofy.

Seriously, its a box full of smaller kits, so what, you can still call it a kit. Is still makes no difference to the argument that the thing costs more than its components which are overpriced in the first place, but way to go trying to draw attention from it.
