GHB next week and more SC boxes, those minotaurs and spiders! Finally! GW you are doing things to my wallet.

Actually, those aren't the same as the SC boxes. The Deathrattle, Nighthant, and STD sets are different. According to the description, these contain about 400 points worth of models, so they look to be designed to fulfill the allies portion of an army. Pretty sweet!

Those aren't even real start collecting. They aren't labelled that and actual costs are all over. Be interesting to see what the total cost is for the boxsets.

I was looking at that as well. The Collegiate Arcane would come out to around $60 individually, STD comes out to around $140.

Can't wait for the GHB woooooooo! Might pick up a cheeky allies box too as I can never resist a deal!

Im liking the beastmen and spider fang ones a lot. The death rattle is solid too.

I like just having an option to pick up Minotaurs and Cygors for conversion purposes again!

They were completely extinct in our neck of the woods. Giants and Spiders as well.

Now if we could just get the Varanguard repackaged in a reasonably priced box.

I can envision a "Start Collecting: Everchosen" with 3 of them and a Gaunt Summoner. Mmmm....

I just remembered that I ordered a Gargant from my FLGS last week. They didn't call me on Friday, so presumably it hasn't been ordered yet. I need to call them and tell them to hold the order! That two-gargant kit will probably be a much better deal.

Wonder what the prices will be. 3 of those spiderfang and you got like 1600 I think. Always wanted to do a spiderfang army. The arachnarok is amazing. What allies would pair well to make up the last 400?

Edit: 1540 with a boss on gigantic spider.

Pretty sweet. Also wanna do moonclan army but wonder what would fit well with a bunch of spiders or what themes you could do. Crystalline spiders from Chamon. Lava from Aqshy

I'm getting a funny feeling that these might be around the $65 "Warband" mark that we saw with Skirmish--as these can be used for Path to Glory, which is having an international thing underway right now.

The prices on those are from 40 to 80ish euros. Also available while in demand, so they be gonners if people don't buy 'em.

You could go for a shamen, using the shaman from the arachnarok

I was wondering whether to use the shaman for every arachnarok loadout or maybe just the one.

Welp, I see I gotta have a talk with our FLGS's owner and ask to reserve a box of those sweet, sweeet Daughters of Khaine <3

Narrative Play in the General's Handbook

Anybody have details on the special edition of the handbook?

I assume objective tokens, art prints, and card board copies of the data sheets

There was no 'special edition' of the first General's Handbook, and I don't expect a 'special edition' of the General's Handbook 2017.

There will be one this time from the community article:
"For the truly dedicated, the Warlords Edition of the General’s Handbook is packed with extras that’ll help you with your games. As well as cards for every battleplan in the book, you’ll be able to get your hands on turn trackers, tokens and more – you’ll be perfectly equipped for a new age of gaming in the Mortal Realms."

Absolutely love the narrative stuff. I would gladly play matched using special rules for each realm. Always loved the idea of Ghur just being filled with monstrous monsters. Would be sweet to fight whilst trying to avoid some rampaging carnosaurs or some FW beast.

Sounds like a fun excuse to throw an unbound Slaughterbrute on the board just to see what happens.

Looks like prices vary a bit for those new boxes:

https://www.miniaturemarket.com/table-top-miniatures/gw.html#/?_=1&filter.product_tag=Preorder&page=1

Can't wait to see the prices in sterling, but everything looks great value. Seems the new GHB will be very competitivley priced again!

Some of the boxes look great value too!

Prices in sterling are up on faeit
Ghb2 £20,
Open war cards £10, daughters £60, wizards £25, spiders £40,warherds £45 slaves to d £50, giants £45, deathrattle £40, nighthaunt £32.50,

I know I have to resist of buying the Deathrattle.

Oooooh I've always loved those Witch Elves but they were always so expensive....

Considering you could only buy the cauldron direct, buying this box set from somewhere like dark sphere, it will probably be around 48 quid (usually less), so you're getting an extra box of aelves for free near enough.

Always wanted those sisters aswell, don't know what im gonna use them as but will certainly store them until needed. £20 saving RRP for that one.

For me it's even more of a bargain, I wont be using the models as is so for below 50 quid, I will have a Slaanesh Daemon Prince, an Avatar of Khaine, 2 aelf sorcerers and 10 other gals. Pretty much a must buy.

I really hope Moonclan, Verminus and Skryre get either a SC box or ally set.

Gonna get the GHB and the Open Cards straight away. Considering the Nighthaunt allies box.

They still are as far as I'm concerned. I like most of the boxes, but not this one. How many shrines could you possibly need? I'd rather if they had done a pack with twice the Witch Elves instead. My biggest issues has always been the crippling price of the Witch Elves box.

of those only verminus has a chance right now, the rest lack plastic characters that aren't part of a bigger box(warplock engineer are part of the spires at dawn set). So verminus would be a verminlord with clanrats and/or stormvermin

I have no sound right now, so what's this about? New campaign?
