that's what you get in battleforces now? no wonder they went up.

also i stand corrected.

Yeah they don't do battleforces per say now, they do those discounted boxes like the Tyranid swarm one and that MT one. The discounts are pretty good usually but I think they must be for a limited time because I considered getting the Necron one and couldn't find it anywhere. Basically if it comes in a box like that it's cheaper, if not its just a web bundle.

GW doesn't actually use the term Battleforce anymore. I always thought they should reclaim it as the generic name for Decurion style detachments. Seems appropriate.

Do you have any kind of information for this, or just throwing it out there?

Because generally if there has been an army box, it comes out a week or two after the releases finish.

Just speculation. Most army boxes don't come out with new models until some time has passed.

I dont think they will do a battleforce with what they currently have, only 3 unique boxes.

Ill keep my eyes open hopefully by then the whole oh let's release everything in April thing has calmed down.

What roughly was the price?

They're usually in the range of $160 - $230.

The MT force up there is three kits and a clam pack. (Scions, Valkyrie, taurox, lord commissar)

The skitarii have four kits that we know of. (Troops, striders, sicarians, crawlers)

ugg you are right they have 4. I forgot about the chicken walkers as I dont like them much.

I suppose they could do 1 of each at a discount.

You know, at first I was planning on picking up Sisters as my IoM army, but I might pick up admech instead.
Those walkers are pretty cool, despite the dodgy lore.
Decisions decisions.

I've got a question for the painters and modellers out there.

The Dunecrawler... What size base do you think it's on?

It looks to be on the big 100mm circle base the Tyrannocyte came on.

hm, I'll wait to see the codex but if they do not include Graviton Guns and Grav Guns what's the point?

Why would they?

As of right now, only Blood Angels and Codex: Space Marines have grav weaponry.

ya know the funny thing is when codex: space marines came out I remember a lotta people dismissing grav guns and saying how much better plasma would be anyway

Gravguns on relentless skitarii, that would be awesome.

For those wondering, GW has a few bundle packs on their webstore for the different units.

Only web bundles though, none with actual savings (which is what people are after).

honestly, the deals with "savings" GW do are so minuscule in percentage (especially considering the grandiose and excessive price GW puts on their figures) that I doubt they will find any meaningful discount from such a set.

Well the web bundles do save you valuable time

The boxed army deals give quite huge savings (one of the IG boxes essentially gave you a free Baneblade), I don't know which ones you've been looking at?

The actual boxed battleforce things people are talking about have a pretty good discount (15-20% maybe?) and you can get them from discounters on top of that.

Say whaaaat?

It's unclear exactly what this is - I am hoping it is a variant of the CSM Obliterator (new models please!) We'll learn whether this stuff is true or not really soon once the new WD is available to the earlier receivers.

Here is the info from Faeit.

Is it not plasma generator? We had the LE resin one a while ago and I heard they were doing a regular release one at some point somewhere. Makes more sense to me.

Oh no that was Void Shield Generator. Probably just a big gun terrain thing like the Firestorm Redoubt and that.

granted, but considering the going rate of miniatures from a variety of manufacturers, the pricepoint of GW's is overmarked, and thus the savings are reduced because of that.

Right but if you're buying them anyway I'd rather get them at like 30-40% off... Savings aren't reduced at all, value is what you're arguing.

It is an 83 dollar terrain piece that was described to me as a giant plasma weapon.

Wouldn't it be $75?

I have been told 83.

fryguy49 wrote:

That's very specific.

$83 could be the Australian price, a lot of things are $83 over here. Two examples off the top of my head are the Nephilim/Dark Talon and stormvermin boxes.

And, now, the Dragoon/Ironstrider.
