Wait, just witchblades, no shuri pistols? Losing that attack would suck.

Oh they definitely have more wargear, it's just the page is half obscured so I couldn't make out the rest of their rules and wargear

OMG! The bundles (3 Support Weapons, 3 War Walkers, etc.) are actually at a discount!!!

This is... great... news?

I Think GW just fethed me.... Still, I hope WW has some Dire Avenger Boxes left over tomorrow! Gonna buy as many as I can before they become oop

I just snagged two more boxes from my local GW just before preorders went up.

I think I've got enough Dire Avengers now.

God the cc Wraithknight looks ridiculous... holding that sword and little shimmer shield in it's tiny tyranossaurus arms... the balance is completely off for me.

I have some ideas there... I'm just not sure I want to buy a $125 model to test them out.

GW has bundled their product. K, nothing new their...wait wtf, GW has discounted their bundle? Ok, never saw that coming but hone....wait WTF, THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY DISCOUNTED A BUNDLE?!?

Ok, "Most cost effective" is a nice way of saying discounted, but come on, I never would have imaged they'd finally wake up and do it.

And ya know what? It feels good. And the new models look quite nice to boot. Anyone else getting the feeling that Wraithknight is still too apoc scaled though?

Scroll lower...now you can have 3 marine/scout bikes for what is the price of 2.
That is what I saw more than the Eldars' truck o' stuff

Interesting 10-25$ bundles, not great but it is pretty cool. But then you wouldnt have to pay taxes individually. so it is an even greater deal

just downloaded the new White Dwarf this afternoon...
looks good...

i'm looking forward to reading the bet rep, and seeing the new toys in action vs. some Necrons...

too bad the new sniper is Finecast...
he looks fun too paint, but nobody wants a droopy rifle...

cheers

Yeah a ton of deals, although the us prices looked like 40 so 5 off.

Sales tax is a percentage...

Remember that a price increase is coming in a month or so. This is probably pre-price increase re-packaging.

Are Marine and Scout bikes normally AUD$19? 'Cause that's what they are on the GW website right now...

Correct, Bt if you where to buy them individually w/o the discount it would cost more in tax then the bundle.

Interesting. The 3-bike-set are on Pre-order. Guess they are waiting for new boxes.

Hey not sure if this was brought up but I can't find that supplement book on the website any where

It's not supposed to be available until June 15th.

Ahhhh thank you very much sir

I really hope it Wraithknight has some sort of balance thing going on with it, I inda hope it has a chance to go beserk or inert for a turn or something

Ok, the sexiness of the new models (and the codex!) has proven enough to bring me back into the game. Eldar were my first army, and these are just too cool to resist. The discounts are cool too, although the price for the Dire Avengers is not. But for the first time in a while, I actually like the direction 40k is going.

So much whining over the DA box set. Seriously, which eldar player runs /doesn't already own more than one squad anyway? The only players getting shafted are new players, and they won't know the difference.

From a cursory browse it seems that Iyanden got the biggest boost with Wraithguard as troops and the Wraithknight, but I don't think either are really competitive as the core issues with Eldar aren't really being addressed.

Kinda disappointed about the Jetbikes and Shining Spears.

Without knowing what exactly is at the new army's disposal, I would venture to say that it would be tough to measure the competitiveness of the new units and their core issues just yet. It would be like judging the new Necron codex with the old Necron's flaws.

You don't have to have a released codex to realise that five close combat Wraithguard at 160 points per squad are a terrible idea. Necrons got a boost through edition meta changes (Fliers, Objectives, AV13 Spam), alongside the codex changes. Although a thirty wraithguard army with Conceal could be quite hard to dislodge...

Gonna have to disagree with you on that one. S5/T6/I4/3+ save Fearless with AP3 power weapons, potentially 3 attacks on the charge (if taking double swords). 32 points per model ain't a bad deal for that at all, especially since you can take them as troops with a Spiritseer. Basically immune to small arms fire, and most opposing units outside of terminators will require 6s to wound. Sure, there are some units you would want to steer clear of, but by and large, they are very effective and very durable.

That's an interesting move, yes they are nice models.. but to charge the same amount for half the amount of models as previous is pretty asinine even for GW.

I believe GW may be moving the plastics to the price range of the finecast, I remember the annual report a couple of years ago saying the plastics should be brought into line with the metals, the finecast replaced the metals and so I think they'll bring the units to match, as the dire avengers now do with the finecast rangers.

$15 USD each or $40 USD for three. That's not really "the price of 2" in this neck of the woods. :(

The Necron Destroyer squad is a little more tempting, especially if we can get the 3-to-a-box set from the online guys.

Ok lets see, We have the dire avengers with a de-facto price increase.
But we also have bundles that save you anywhere from 10-20$. And very fast codex releases.
2 step forwards, one step back.

Whether or not "very fast codex releases" are "a step forward" is a matter of opinion.

I am absolutely appalled.

Not by the prices, because we actually got quite a few discounts. Sure the Dire Avengers are egregious. But War Walkers are now $15 cheaper if you intend to build a squad of 3 (which almost everyone does). The Wraithknight is $115? Big deal; it is also one of GW's biggest kits. Wraithguard are MUCH cheaper, are plastic, look better, come with bits and can make different units.

But no, what truly appalls me is that someone a few pages back actually advocated burning down Games Workshop stores. This amounts to terroristic threats of violence and, while I'm sure he won't actually do such a thing, it is disturbing to see that the comment was never deleted. I guess because the poster fits in with the anti-GW majority here, he gets a pass. I wonder what would have happened had someone posted such a thing about Privateer Press?

Mods, you are a failure. I am done with this place.

after 3 posts?

Also, if hyperbole offends you you may wish to be done with the internet.

LOL. We'll miss you terribly and all we'll have to remember you by are your three little posts. Such a devastating loss to the site.

I already placed my order!!!

1x Codex
1x Psychic cards
1x Spiritseer
1x Ranger character

Anything else that is new I will buy AFTER I read the codex. These, though, are the essentials for me.

Anyone know any sites offering pre-order discounts >25%? Trying to maximize savings .
