If raising the price 50% relative to the comparable HE chariot with also 2 builds can be called reasonable



Next set of price increases is coming in April...

And can we please lose the digs and insults please folks.

Ordered the chariot, knew the guy on the back would make an awesome lord the big flail looks menacing. Was really taken back by the pricing of the beast though :(

Kinda off topic I suppose but in the new white dwarf do we get to see any new artwork of the army?

I was digging around and couldn't find any rumors regarding changes to the army. Can someone point me in the right direction? I just hope this new book doesn't mean having to change too much from my current setup.

Damn, hoped for at least 1 piece as a teaser, thanks for the info, wouldve bought the white dwarf if it did

I wonder if the fluff is going to be around Archaon as that rumour ages ago said, hopefully even if it doesnt we get a badass art piece of him

GW should just double their prices every release. No more of this 20% increase like the DA terminators or the 50%+ of the Forsaken over Chaos Warriors. GW should just go for straight doubling. And if someone complains, we'll just say "Besides, this hobby isn't meant to be cheap. If you can't afford it, then boo-freaking-hoo."

No, no. Just until they reach "Peak Hobbit", at which point Wells/Kirby dump their shares and float into the distance on their golden parachutes.

Who said this hobby "wasn't meant to be cheap"? GW?

I wasn't aware toy soldier mans was a hobby meant for the privileged or elite, like exotic car collecting and yacht racing. If us dirty commoners can't even enjoy good old gaming then what the feth do we have?

Nah, we haven't hit Peak Hobbit yet. That'll either happen just after the second film or just before the third, depending on how good the second film is. And Wells may not work for the company, but he may yet hold shares.

Hot oil wrestling, arm wrestling, and cheap lager

I share your concerns though. £90 for 30 forsaken? I wouldn't even spend somebody else's money on those models!

It was also made in a garage by a one-man company something like 7-8 years ago on a shoestring budget. And you have the audacity to be shocked that it's not a slick, commercial product from a multinational corporation? Oh please, how about you grow up?

Oh good, so now they've sunk to completely ripping off the Grey Knights.

Look at it. Everything about it screams plagurism. The helmet, the cowl, the cannon, it's all completely ripped off.

But they aren't GW and are "indy" so they can get away with murder according to Dakka.

GW does not own copyright on Germanic armor designs or giant rotary cannons. Your statement is the equivalent of claiming the makers of "Shakespeare in Love" are ripping off Olivier's Hamlet.
