Elitist and smug, how fitting.

edit: Obviously you do not buy your models yourself

You're a real worry Squig.

Don't drown in that Kool-Aid, k?

Assumptions ahoy!

Every single model I own (with the exception of a few birthday presents) I have bought out of my own money.

The chariot is about the only thing in this release that's anywhere near the realm of pricing sanity. Wow. I actually just wrote that about a $40.00 chariot, didn't I? :/

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...

... makes you wonder eh...?

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

Thanks.

Can I just say awful the forsaken models are? In a 40k environment sure why not they work as individual models but as ranked up guys? They are mish mashed

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?

There's a few glimpses but nothing major.

Seems their business plan is to hurry and run the company into the ground BEFORE the next business year

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.

Didn't you get the memo? Peak Hobbit was first week last December, and Wells already jumped

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!

Conkers, Sid. We'll always have conkers.

Dare you question the elite? Begone poor one, back to you're turnips!

Kings of War and Beyond The Gates of Antares is my vote!

Seriously you guys. Grow up. It's a game about plastic toy soldiers. If you don't like it, get a new hobby.

I have. I just come here to stay abreast of news in the figure indistry.

Bugger me that's a hideously ugly ol' thing!

This. Damn that thing is vile. Seriously. It is a million times worse than any recent GW kit I've seen.

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?

If you want a better contrast, this guy says "Hi":

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.

Yes, GW masters of originality.

Wait... what?

Seriously? You think this model is a rip off of Grey Knights?

Seriously?

Oh please. At the very most, the Tyranids are inspired by Alien.

That Dreamforge model is an absolute blatant ripoff.

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.

This is fitting for most of you're posting;

What makes you think I'm not?


Cause whatever it is, you'd be correct. I haven't been serious since my first post on this thread.

Cause your claim is absolutely ridiciously?

Oh noes, a robot with an assaultcannon.. GREY KNIGHT RIPOFF!!!!
