It's common to offer perks to enthuse people to pre-order stuff. Of course it's more effective if you actually tell people that the price will be higher in normal retail, but this is GW after all, so...
And if they didn't say up front that it was going to be a higher price when it's in shops this Saturday, they'd be potentially be open to all kinds of litigation.
How? Raising the price on something is courtworthy now, is it?
False advertising is.
If you go in to purchase a set for the listed price that the preorders are at(which has no mention of it being a "preorder exclusive price" or any other garbage) and it instead is listed for more?
That's false advertising and companies have gotten in trouble for it.
Preorders being a cheaper price is pretty common practice.
For independents, maybe. But independents usually make it clear that it is a preorder price.
And that's the point I'm trying to make and you're seeming to fail to grasp. Deceptive advertising, such as "Buy X for $50! In stores next Saturday!", can get you in trouble.
How is it deceptive? The put the price on the website, people bought it at that price. They put another price in WD later and that's that. Wheres the deception? Its probably a misprint with no intent to deceive behind it, which is the point I'm making that you don't seem to be grasping.
On the topic of boxed characters being sold separately, and the HH:BaC box in particular:
As both characters share a sprue, I think the odds of them being packaged and sold individually are quite low. So while I think the odds of the units/dread getting their own boxes are quite high, if you want the characters, this is probably the only place.
In regards to the price difference I would guess the higher price was from when the box was going to be ltd.
Luckly AoS tanked and they switched to plan b releasing a lower price unlimited box to try and claw some money back.
Remember it has been mentioned by ex staff years ago that plastic Heresy was being held back for if things got desperate.
After 4 months of AoS release they have hit the big red panic button.
Your last point is especially laughable and comical, because not only the 7th ed Valkyrie shown dumber things (like being able to throw the troopers without parachutes out of its hatches, no harm done) - Irbis
I would imagine, but this is pure speculation, that since they are on the same sprue they will be released together ala forgeworld's command group set things they do. This could be the MkIV Commanders set or somesuch thing. But this is more speculation than BoLS so I shall leave this at that. But it seems unlikely for them to re-release everything except one sprue considering the work that will have gone into it.

Just got in my shipment. The poor fedex man was not pleased to be lugging in 14 cases.
A big pile of Betrayal.
....and lo!.....The Age of Sigmar came to an end when Saint Veetock and his hamster legions smote the false Sigmar and destroyed the bubbleverse and lead the true believers back to the Old World.

Is that what you called the first AOS and finecast shipments too?
Finecast actually sold decently at first. AOS i had nearly all of mine sold through the store, dakka, and ebay before the shipment came in. I could smell the death on that box from a long way out.
I'm liking the sweet smell of betrayal a whole lot better than the stench of the glory of sigmar, that's for sure

You got yours already? Isnt it not supposed to come out until Saturday?
Oooooooh
Youre a
Dealer....
I should hope so, otherwise those 70 boxes of models would take a long time to paint

Blame, just got my grubby little mitts on 3 boxes. Enjoying the new toy smell. Nice quality sets and a good haul for the price i paid. I'm looking forward to settling down with this little lot over the winter months.

Wait, explain the Minwax statement. Is this an effective way of dealing miniatures and which type of Minwax?
I still can't decide if I want this game or not. I don't really want to start a new Marines army and none of the stuff in this one is something I really need it want for my existing armies.
Hopefully that Contemptor comes out separately. I would buy two.
It's the "dip" method, I did a whole TK army with that a while back and it came out great.
Basically, you use wood stain called Minwax Polyshades (I guess any brand with polyurethane added will work?). Pick a good color that you think will work good for your shade. Paint your mini in basic solid colors, then dunk it in the can of stain and shake off the excess (preferably outside so you don't get yelled at), then just let it dry overnight. The next morning you have a nicely shaded mini. It will be super glossy though, but if you spray it with a matte varnish after that you should be fine.
It's messy but it works good for getting a big army painted up kinda fast. You should be able to find more info and examples if you search in the painting forums

Thanks for the info! If I was going to shotgun out a big army of Space Marines, Necrons, or Eldar, I would probably do this. Otherwise, I like finer control. Also doesn't really help on an existing army very much. Maybe if I bought this set to start HH Imperial Fists. Yellow is such a pain to work with.
GW don't do that much limited edition, they generally do 'while stocks last'. That gives the impression something has limited availability without legally preventing them from releasing it again later.
I'm pleased as punch, I don't want the minis being limited edition. I want the new assassins, the broodlord that came with that boxed set etc all available. In case I want to buy them...
This. I abhor "limited edition" nonsense generally(I've never understood people who can only find value in things that other people don't have), but even moreso when it's unnecessary artificial scarcity. These are mass-produced plastic, there's no reason they shouldn't be available for everyone who wants them.

You can use Army Painter quickshade, which won't leave you with the ultraglossy finish, and one jar will essentially last you an army. But you can also just use a big brush and apply it. The amount of actual time you save is pretty tiny if you're talking about 30 minis. It's the difference between 5 seconds and 30 seconds per model
AP tinted primers are pretty bulletproof, too, so if you just use AP colored primer and quickshade, I wouldn't bother with varnish.
