Maybe they aren't selling well and want to make sure they offload a few more to their 'premium' Forgeworld customers.

Has anyone done the math on these 'bundles'? Do they offer a significant savings, or are they as pointless as the one-clicks on GW's web store?


You actually save some money on these bundles. The Malanthrope Brood, for example, is 148£ outside the bundle, but the bundle's only 130£. Same with the Vraks books, they're 42£ each, but the bundle's only 80£ (essentially getting you one book for free).

I looked at a couple of the smaller packs (Skin Wolves, Chaos Dwarf Train, etc) and they look to be about 20-30% off. Not too bad really.

So the Kharybdis is basically the reboot of the Dreadclaw, model wise? I could use the Dreadclaw rules in IA:A for a counts-as Dreadclaw, right?

It looks like it is 25% bigger, if not more, than the dreadclaw.

Bah, the one I was eyeing up, the Krieg assault bundle (4 transports and 20 grenadiers) only comes out to 8% off retail, unless folks are adding in shipping saved by buying more than £250, in which case its 22%.

TECH-THRALLS WITH LASLOCKS (product code : 99590108107)







Tech-thralls are created by the Mechanicum through basic augmetics and cranial surgery as the need for them arises and, in the case of the Legio Cybernetica, the use of captured prisoners and criminals requisitioned from local authorities is common. Considered a lower order of being than most servitors by their masters, the ultimate fate of most tech-thralls is to end their lives recycled into servitor components and their implants harvested for use in future thralls as their bodies fail under the relentless toil to which they are subjected.

The Tech-thralls with Las-locks, designed by Mark Bedford, are a complete multi-part resin kit comprising five models armed with las-locks. These models are available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday January 31st.

£25.00

Aw yiss! They look even better up close than from a distance. 25 quid is even a reasonable price compared to most of the newly released 5 man multi part plastic kits from GW. I'm going to be using these as servitors, as they have exactly the same size. I'll probably order 5 to begin with.

It must suck to have your arm replaced with something you need your other arm to hold up.

“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”

For Forge World, these Mechanicus models are really priced to move! Definitely tempting to get some auxilliaries to use in my HH armies

Good. A new type of robot. Here's hoping for a couple more patterns and we can really make the Cybernetica work.

Nice looking stuff. They will fit perfectly with my Anvil Industry robots as well (which by the way are an excellent source for more AD-Mech style troops).

The saw arms on the Robot are just plain sexy!

Really like the Thralls ordered a five man set, was going to order some Red Butchers but being mono pose just really put me off them, probably go for the command squad when they get released.

Pretty much. They're ludicrously cheap (points-wise) in the HH book.

Oh man, those tech thralls are b e a utiful. Got myself 5 to use as a parody of chaos servitors in my diorama with my Warpsmith cause they look like they'll suit the role well.

Also, does this mean we will be seeing close combat versions of these...

That's what I first thought but changed it back to £25 as £50 sounded even more ridiculous. Are they now the most expensive FW unit per point?
