Thanks Judge

The Thunderbeast Host sounds interesting, hopefully a nice boxed set with some savings.

So how many posts until somebody in the States looks at the pre-orders on the New Zealand/ Aus site and says " $120 USD for some Skinks! They went up in price by 70%"?

**lord_blackfang**

So basically the same treatment as plague-themed Skaven got.

**Mymearan**

Any new stuff or price drops/raises there?

**streetsamurai**

Just as i tought, its only some old kits reboxed. AOS is such a dissapointment. It seems as if GW want it to fail

Yes sort of like how between every edition of WHFB and 40k and LOTR/Hobbit they deleted all old models and made all brand new ones, remember that guys?

**Manchu**

I am already bracing myself to resist getting any of these ...

Well, new editions of these game didnt break so drastically with the previous fluff. And we got new kits pretty much everytime a new codex for a race got released in previous editions.. Branding this as a brand new game set thousand of years after the fall.of the old world, and yet only recycling the old minis (bar the very boring eternals and bloodbounds) reeks of lazyness.

Hardly laziness. It's not been 5mins since the Lizardmen had an update (WHFB 8th I grant you, but an update nonetheless).

I also seem to remember a large majority of folk frothing at the mouth that they wouldn't be able to get their hands on any of the current stuff that they love when AoS hit. They've already begun reboxing Skaven, Nurgle, and Khornate stuff for Age of Sigmar.

**NAVARRO**

With such big catalog simply reboxing and add new bases is going to be a huge task.

Just wished they could get rid of finecast faster though its plain useless and I refuse to get any of it.

It's not really Finecast anymore. They're using the same resin as ForgeWorld do for their stuff now after the SNAFU they made with the crappy Finecast stuff. I can honestly say it's much improved!

**streetsamurai**

Last finecast I bought was extremely crisp. Better details than even Kingdom death resins.

**shinros**

Soo I assume the new audio book is going to deal with tomb kings? *hype intensifies*

Pretty much. The first part was the Hallowed Knights Stormcast chamber (and 7 other chambers) searching for an entrance to Nagash's crib.

Also as per Judgedoug's post earlier, I found this on another thread in here-

Y'know that's really good to hear, I might be willing to try it sometime.

They are not using ForgeWorld resin. ForgeWorld resin doesn't work for spin cast moulds.

Forge World is still hand-poured resin in traditional two-part moulds (hence why you get the big resin-bricks on the parts, where they are poured into the mould).

The time it takes to dry makes it prohibitive to use in moulds made for spinning. They simply tinkered with their Finecast formula (and removed the tainted brand name).

Raging Heros did an overview (for their products).

http://www.ragingheroes.com/blogs/news/14122621-how-to-choose-between-metal-and-resin-heroines

Hand-poured resin is the traditional material preferred by high-level painters, collectors, and very demanding hobbyists. Hand-poured resin is a very slow and delicate process in which every step is completely hand-made. Moulds have a very short lifespan and in most cases, after 30 casts, a replacement mould has to be made, again from scratch. That's the reason why it is very hard to produce large quantities of hand-poured resin models. In the TGG Kickstarter, hand-poured resin Heroines were only available for pledgers of the limited quantity Connoisseur Box or Add-on which has been completely sold out already.

Spin-cast resin is a process that combines the machinery used for metal casting with a special resin material. These two elements allow for the rapid manufacturing of very large quantities of resin miniatures with great results and great quality.

The WD leaks started a few minutes ago - albeit in german.

I post the links and a few pics here but the issue (as rumored) shows products related to Tau, FW Corsairs, HH teaser (it says nothing except buy issue 93, it comes with a gift - and a symbol on top which could be the pin BrookM and Atia mentioned earlier) and Lizardmen.

70+€ extra for 6 pictures, some cardboard and a number? Seriously? That's it?

What's so super duper awesome about this "limited edition"?

**Mymearan**

Nothing, just like all their limited editions. They're for crazy people with too much money

**Lithlandis Stormcrow**

Kaching! Right on the monies!

Some of the past Limited Editions were worth it but nowadays... Blargh

**RoninXiC**

The big beasty box for 161€ actually saves you a bit.
You, more or less, get the terradons for free.

btw: the white dwarf's title is more or less " Star Wars Warriors"

**Lithlandis Stormcrow**

Also, checks out that faction battletomes will be priced just like codices are.

Sorry... stronger than me

**Kirasu**

It would be a little *less* bad if they stopped renaming everything.. Slann Starmaster? Sunblood? That alone kills the fluff for me.

GW continually picks 3 prefix-suffix and spams them on every single unit.. A horribly childish naming convention.

**Mymearan**

I don't know, I really like the new Lizardmen names. Nowhere near Bloodblood McBloodgore of Khorne.

It's not as exagerated, that's for sure.

I suppose you're right since our expectations have been lowered by such a huge degree. Could be SunSlann Starpriest

StormSlann Starstormsunpriest!

**Necros**

Gonna pic up the lizard book, but don't think I really need anything else. Never did get one of those bastilidons though, but way too much stuff on my plate right now :(

**Binabik15**

If only they released Sauri looking like the artwork instead of those mangy...things.

My Bloodbowl Lizzies would finally happen!

**highlord tamburlaine**

I've wanted book inspired Saurus ever since I first laid eyes on GW's scalies.

Now would have been the perfect opportunity. Everyone loves lizardmen. They're such a fantasy staple, and some really rocking, modern tooled ones probably would bring in a fair bit of cash.

That is if GW wouldn't end up pricing them out of most normal people's budgets...

**Bottle**

I can see the collector's editions being quite desirable. This is the first army book EVER for your chosen faction in Age of Sigmar. I'm going to be tempted when the Death and/or Empire (Free Peoples) ones come out.
