**EDIT** So yeah mystery solved. I was out of touch with the news and rumors. Great looking model though.****


So this guy popped up when I, for some unknown reason, opened the GW Oz page.

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-AU/Blood-Angels-Chaplain-with-Jump-Pack



But then when I changed the page back to US locality I can't find this guy anywhere.....

Yes he is new. You will have to wait around 1pm EST for the US/Canada site to update.

Yeah thanks. I was out of touch the last two weeks so this was news to me. Just found the N&R thread about it.

Great looking model.

Fairly useless in the game, though.

I'm going to bang on about prices again. There are a number of threads about what is a 'reasonable' cost, to which everyone has a different answer, but here are some facts.

Currently on the GW website there are 2 Chaplains at £9.50 ($16) each, another with a jump pack at £11 ($19.25) and one terminator one at £13 ($21.50).

The BA chaplain is £20 ($33). It's double the cost.

Taken from the GW website - "...a single-pose miniature. Armed with an Inferno Pistol and wielding a Crozius...". So this isn't some model with loads of options. How does it differ, in quality or quantity, from the other jump pack chaplain that's £11?

GW raise their prices because we keep buying at whatever price they set. It's our fault, not theirs!

Pretty much. They need to bring the Reclusiarch back. As it stands though, this model is 120 pts for something with an effective range of less than six inches. One can onl hope for Blood Angels to eventually catch the wave of brokenness that hit Necrons, Eldar, other Space Marines, and Tau. But, that is never going to happen.

I agree. But..

Those are poocast IIRC?

Plastic molds are expensive.

Don't know anyone who has bought the £18+ single models. Also why is the Priest "only" £18 and not £20?
They both released within a short time.

To be fair of the community, no we are not buying. It's no long our fault since GW profits are still in the millions, they are not what they use to be. So it's only the few who are buying now.

GW rather make little, and make only a few million instead of selling lots and making many more millions. I am just surprised as a publicly traded company that they are only allowed to make a few million instead of much more that they can.
