Seriously, I've been waiting for some movement on this! I've been saving my Paypal pennies for some pre-ordering, but there are so many other shinies to spend that money on! I can barely take it!

Well, I've been waiting for this particular release for some time, and there are so many other nice things I'd like to buy too! But I only have so much scratch to put into the hobby (if I don't want to run afoul of the Wife...)

More Blood
More Skulls
Behold the Lord of the End Times
Not surprised at all by the price all things considered. Steep, but finally the Bloodthrister has the model it deserves and not something that looks like its made of Play-Doh. Just hoping the other GDs are of the same quality. On the other hand, once it comes out I no longer have an excuse not to start a Khorne army. Ow, my poor wallet...
Ow and I just realized how fitting it is that March is the month GW is releasing Khorne models...

Yeah, £70 puts it firmly in the sights of some of the excellent 3rd party models out there (Mierce, Creature Caster, Ultra Forge) and depending on your personal tastes, you may even have to have a personal discussion with yourself if the FW version was worth the extra.
I'm yet to make up my mind on this one, I've not been massively thrilled with the pics, but I don't consider I've seen good pics of it yet, but it's going to have to make up a lot of ground to justify £70 for me. If it had landed at £50 I was going to pre order one.
But then, I have this guy..
So the new one was going to be the basis of a Skarbrand conversion, perhaps if I was utterly Bloodthirster-less I may feel differently....
Nah.

I'm hoping the variations really wow me, as I've got about the same amount of cash already sitting in Mierce's webstore, waiting to be used on their BaneBeast campaign, where they had a pretty nice Krull conversion on offer.
I've wanted the Archaeon figure for quite some time. I'm hoping we see a new version, or even a plastic kit instead.
Then again, I wanted to see new models for all the Incarnates too...

Yeah, need to see the Archaeon model, he's been on my "to paint" list forever, and if he's going to be replaced, I need the notice as to whether to wait for a new more epic version, or grab the current one before it gets replaced by one I don't like so much.

$116? *sigh* That's a bit disappointingly high for a single model (which, as it has been pointed out, is only so many points, or so effective...)
When I get to see the sprue pics I'll decide if I'm going to spend the $100+ I've saved on this, or try to get it on the cheap via bits sites/ebay (which I did for the Verminlord, getting it for maybe 50% of full price, though without a couple bits).

I bought the Verminlord from my lfs for Ithink $75, scored a vermin lord leg/torso for $12 on ebay. Enough extra parts for an entirely second vermin lord minus the crazy split tail!
Ebay ftw
Its surprising that anyone would pay the GW price... My lfs does $5 off for every $30 so they can compete with web stores. The Eldar release just happened and you can find the Harlequin troupe for $32 free shiping

The current Archaon, by Brian Nelson, is one of the best kits in GW's history. I doubt it is getting replaced, and even if it is, that is a tough mountain to climb to even maintain the quality.
