Why releas more "sidegames" instead of all the miniatures we still need?

Because the way GW sees it, there's 100 guys in the world who are interested in Sisters models, while there's potentially thousands of guys who'll buy some new edition of Space Crusade or HeroQuest.

I was actually referring to apocalypse as side game and not specialist games like space hulk,necromunda...

And of course people are buying things like spacehulk and space crusade because they usually are limited edition and have some cool minis in it.

Releasing SoB would be so easy. One box with all the heavy weapons and the option to built sisters or seraphim. ONE freaking box.

GW: the reason why we cant have nice things

Apoc is also the perfect time to release a few "gap filler" models, so things like the Hydra or the Harpy or whatever. But no. 1-click-bundles ahoy!

How much was the Baneblade before it went up to £85?

And the Khornemower and others are £95.

I laughed. Sad. I thought the big monolith would be £50-60, silly me!

It's particularly bad that with some of the one click bundles, the money saved if bought from an independent with a discount would buy you a whole new army as well.

Something like that; But it was a baneblade only kit. they combined the baneblade & stormlord kits into a dual kit.
still too much of a price increase; but not as bad as it looks at first.

So new Baneblade is all 8 variants combined. At +15€.
Who doesn't need every piece of those 295 should get some of the old boxes.

The bundles have always been odd marketing. One would imagine the giving bundles a small discount (even 5%) would be worth it. Then they could at least market them as moneysavers, even if the actual discount wouldn't be terribly large. I'd imagine the increased sales would cover the discount.

So the new terrain pieces will have rules for 40K games in the box, but there is no mention of those rules being elsewhere? Hopefully they're a free PDF on the website or in a White Dwarf or something. Like others, I would be interested in seeing how powerful the anti-flier fortifications will be in standard 40K, but I shouldn't have to buy the model in order to see the rules.

I doubt Gw will publish the terrain rules outside the boxes, they don't want customers freeloading by scratch building their own.

Be thankful they're even doing that, the alternative is making you buy the $80 Apocalypse book or some kind of $50 "Terrain in the 41st Millenium" supplement or some crap like that.

No, no, no. Three separate $9.99 "Terrain of the 41st Millennium" iOS only documents.

... $300 for a case and a book. Who the feth can justify buying this junk?

The same people who buy other prestige products (its a marketing term, look it up).

Like:
* Collectors editions of comics that sold for 25 cents and pay $500
* Sports cars that are $160,000
* People with no kids who never go camping/off road and buy an $50,000 suv
* A rolex watch.
* A 55" tv (or a 70" for that matter).
* An autograph
* a "signed" anything
* a "was used by ...(insert famous person name here)" item
* an big engagement ring
* old chairs from a stadium...
* a Tshirt from a concert for $50.

Get the idea?

While I won't buy most of those things...there are people who will.

The new cases are cool....but I will spend my money on other toys.

See most of those things are resellable, increase in value, functional, or have an affordable price point. Warhammer does not increase in value, nor will it ever, those "limited editions" aren't worth jack, and wont be worth jack in 10 years.This is a box, with a book, for a game you wont play more then a few times for $300. At least last time they were doing cheap bundles, but this is just dumb.

The only thing that is actually fair is the 125 dice for $30

Dam I wanted to get 1 Baneblade and another Shadowsword but not a 170 Canadian. Any word at whether the previous separate boxes that are still in circulation will go up to the new kit's price?

I am pretty sure that would be illegal. At least very dishonest.

Previous boxes go to land fill.

Or to the managers collection/friends, only landfill trip I saw was when the head trainer showed up and took all the dreadfleet and left the store in his rental car.

Wow, they put a broken model up for display: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=&prodId=prod2130074a

Take a look at her in 360 degree view.

Also, the Baneblade only went up €15 in price for us. Used to be €95, is €110 now,

Well, this is the same Baneblade they've had up since it first came out. After sitting in storage for so long, the piece must have fallen out and got lost. The photography team noticed it and suggested that they get a replacement piece for the tread, but procurement told them that spending $140 on a new kit just for one piece was ridiculous. Photography suggested going to a bits seller, but legal reminded them that they no longer existed. So, they decided to just photograph the dang thing as-is and not worry about it too much.

Great story, someone is paying attention.

It is not the first, there is a broken/incorrect built wraithguard on the front of that box too. Photo team shouldn't be QA but they are getting sloppy.

It was £60 when it was released back with the original Apocalypse, then went up to £70 at some point between now and then, and now they've bundled the extra stuff that came with the shadowsword/stormlord kit into it and bumped the price up to £85. Whilst the price at £70 was possibly a tad unreasonable, the amount of extra stuff you get for the extra £15 is well worth it I'd say (though that is coming from an Ork player who is planning on covering the entire thing in plasticard and cannibalising the extra gunz.)

So yeah, current price increase taken on its own is quite reasonable for the extras that you get, but the price it came from is slightly unreasonable.

Ah right, I remember paying £60 so it having increased by more than half that raises an eyebrow.

The jetbike autarch 360 is the same, there is a massive metal chip on the lance arm, he isn't even attached to the bike and the banner is busted.

At least they avoided a Sony PS3 $599! moment and didn't put the prices of various articles in the youtub videos.

I see GW have changed their logo on their website from red/yellow to a greeny gunmetal colour and a skull (obviously).

Is that a limited think for Apoc or is it a permanent change?

I think your maths is slightly dodgy there half of £60 is £30, so it would have to be more than £90 to have increased by more than half that

Is it just me or does it look like they just did a black wash over plastic for the Tesseract Vault's inside parts? It looks unpainted. Whatever it is the grey nearly unpainted look is really bad.
