£7 per model. Absurd.

No man, way too big. A small marble might fit though!

Loving the look of these AdMech models in person, seen a few armies fielded already and they look great. Just wish that GW could put out a fully plastic multi-part set for the sisters of battle, maybe that isn't so bloody expensive?

I was planning to buy the Dominus, but £22 is crazily expensive for one infantry model, even if it is a fancy HQ. The model is good, but not £22 good. A solo infantry model that costs as much as a tank.

This week I got a box of Perry foot knights - 38 multi-part plastic models, sculpts easily of GW quality - for £2 less than that. Before that I got the Contagion expansion for Deadzone - £30 for the book, four sprues of hard plastic terrain, a new deck of cards and 30 zombies (again, hard plastic, multi-part, high quality sculpts despite some repetition of poses or appearance)

It's disappointing; GW are releasing stuff I'd very much like to buy, but so are their competitors - and their competitors give me more for my money.

Again, flagellants with some left-over Skitarii parts will be your friend if you need to take them.

Sooo, everywhere else in the world has got the releases on the GW page except for the US... Grumble.

Because they go up at 1pm EDT in the US.

Oh, that would make sense.

Why dose the plastic hq costs as much as the forge world version.

Because GW.

It's also slightly more detailed and larger than any other clampack HQ besides the Jetseers.

I'm tempted to build some Dark Mechanicus allies for my Chaos force now.

Everything you say is true, but two things to note; it's not actually £22, it's £16.50 because that's what the good discounters(Dark Sphere) are selling it at, and while the price is absurd in a general sense, relative to other GW pricing it's not actually a terrible deal - you're paying £4 more than the already overpriced SM clampacks certainly, but the model is on a 50mm base and includes all the weapon options.

We were saying it's £7 a model in Oz.

Ah. As you were.

Isn't the FW Dominus actually cheaper? (without shipping)

Yah it is. But since shipping is calculated by percent of purchase you might as well include it. The only way you don't pay it is by buying at a event or Warhammer world.

If it was two years ago when the CAD was stronger tho, it would of been cheaper even with shipping.

Placing this order is going to feel so weird. I still don't "see" Kataphron as troops, so ordering three boxes with my other stuff feels wrong somehow.

I really did just want enough of them and Kastelan to make up an Elimination Maniple, to shore up some tactical needs of my Skitarii, but FOC rules means I suddenly spend the vast majority of my points on them, instead. :-p

I REALLY want the combined AdMech book... this two source thing feels so contrived right now.

I personally plan to build some some Dark Mechanicus Cultists for my Iron Warriors army using a mix of Cultists and Skitarii left over bitz....might add some mechanized amrs & legs bitz from some 3rd party, any recommendation ?

Even with shipping it's only about one quid more than the clampack. And bear in mind you still need to pay shipping for the clampack. Although if you get your 40k from a 3rd party retailer at 20% off, the GW Dominus is actually cheaper. Hm. I might actually get both, and have one run as the Dominus for a Cohort Cybernetica and the other as my Warlord.

U.S. Preorders are up

Interesting that the Electro-priests are on 32mm. They don't really fit as a model for those bases, in my mind.

Ordered the metalica transfer sheet, just need my dominus next week and purchases will be complete, unless i buy another box of sicarians for the WD formation

Complaining about GW prices is like being a drug junky and trying to haggle with a street drug dealer.

I've payed $70 Canadian on Ebay for the FW event-only Autilon Skorr just because an airplane ticket to Chicago and back, staying in Hotel, food and local transportation would've cost me closer to a thousand.

I've got my fix, you know you want yours.

That's because it IS contrived... It's nowhere in the actual Warhammer 40,000 rules. So...

It's really pissing me off because the only models I want out of the Skitarii book are the Vanguard and the Rangers. I don't particularly like the Sicarian variants and the vehicles seem too expensive for me (though I love the rules for the Onagers). I want to run Cult Mechanicus with lots of Skitarii Infantry on the table, but to do that I need two separate books, each of which I'm basically only using around half of. And that's really stupid imo.

I mean, I guess that's sort of the same as any other armies that you ally together (Daemons/CSM, Eldar/Dark Eldar, etc), but honestly the fact that it's basically forced to do so rather than a choice feels so crappy to me. I mean, I guess both codexes together ($66) are only slightly more than a standard codex ($50), but it's just so crappy. It's the only thing keeping me from going out and binge spending money on these guys right now.

On the plus side, you get tons of lore and artwork, which I'm totally not complaining about.

Servitors are HUGE they are on the same bases as kastelans!
