Bet your missing those "$1.00 per model for these guys while this one costs me $20?!" days now.

I wonder what did cause this price rise though.

Hoping they do something to justify it in the near future. Hate to see an amazing release like this get hurt by a price bump.

I heard a rumour that actually the pink horros would go to 20 per box. Then again the source where I got it is not as reliable as the statement of the blue horrors having 10 brimstones (though they DO cite that box's contents and nail them) so huge salt.

If they've repackaged the 10 Pinks to include 10 Brimstones... which doesn't make much sense when you think about but whatever we'll run with it... then that would be fine for an increase in price.

A, what is it, US$6 increase for a doubling of models? I doubt it, unless it's to make up for the scummy way they reduced Guardsmen to 10 and Avengers to 5.

If it was 10 pinks & 10 blues, with the other box being 10 blues & 10 Brimstones, that would work rather well considering Brimstones are (arguably) the least important of the three.

Is it really cheaper to import than buy locally ? That really is poor show!

I ask genuinely as have no idea what the prices are in Australia.

Twice as much as your average GW price. I think it's mainly because (aside from the transport distance) there was some act in Australia that enforced procedures to check there were no pests/dangerous beasties and that gak bloated the cost.

A box of 5 pinks, 10 brimstones, then a box of ten blues and ten brimstones.

That way to buy two of each box to make a squad! :p

That's a crappy deal!

Also my apologies to Mymearan, it wasn't my intention to mock you, just the situation, I do that often without realising.

No worries at all (although very much appreciated), as you pointed out I'm certainly not innocent of that myself. Polite discussion is great but sometimes we get carried away. I can certainly understand your frustration, especially seeing your flag icon.

It's generally cheaper to import figs from UK to Finland than buy local and we don't screwed so badly on exchange rate. Albeit helped that not many shops offer discount here.

Compare AOS start box. 100€ from GW direct, 75€ or so(based on current exchange ratio) from store I use for miniature purchaces.

Don't have UK->australia rate but working from euro ratios it says it SHOULD be about 144$. GW site says 234...Holy smokey. Okay if they can't find free shipping(like Finns benefit from most stores in UK) it adds up but hard to believe it can be that expensive compared to japan->finland shipping.

New Stormcast cavalry. An all gryph army looks like a possibility. ( from Noct on the French warhammer forum) The gold armour is not a good choice for these guys but the mounts look cool.

they might be good for some tzeentch marked knights

Love those. Just like the vanguard, these look way more dynamic than current stormcast.

Oh, those are rather nice. Definitely better interpretation of the concept than Empire Demigryphs. They will probably look pretty good with a less terrible colour scheme. Dracoths remain as my favourite Stormcast cavalry though.

Wow, those mounts look sweet.

They are free to do so, but I'm free to criticize them for it. Which is something you seems to have a lot of trouble accepting. Accepting to pay to watch informercials will only encourage GW to use the kind or pratices (micro-transaction). It's sad how kids nowadays have lost every notions of consumer activism

So glad I am not alone in this feeling. Maybe it's a Canadian thing or what not. Having to pay for advertising is just so wrong. No matter how you spin it. When you give a link to your webstore it's advertising no matter how much you say they are "hobby tips".

Mymearan wrote:Price rises on three reboxings would be gakky, but I'd doesn't suddenly undo everything they've done right the past year. Even on price alone they have released a ton of boxes with savings of up to 50% and it doesn't look like they're stopping that anytime soon.

That is the problem. GW is only giving you savings if you want what is in the start collecting boxes. If you don't want them or just want some things but not wanting to pay $100 just to get what you want, is not the right way to go. Again, savings are only savings if you want the product. If you are buying something that you don't want, are they really savings?

Baron Klatz wrote:@Thebiggesthat,

Everyone's got a right to speak their mind, though. (Complaining is some peoples hobby too. )

Oh so true. I believe the real part of The Hobby is complaining about it.

Baron Klatz wrote:That thought crossed my mind as well. Some people were saying the SC sets would've bitten into their overall profits so maybe this might be a way to balance it out?


Edit: Just had a thought, do you think these models will also come with the new Warhammer quest? Two sources of Tzeentch deals might have encouraged the bump.

I don't understand this. If something is cutting into your profits, you don't do it then. Thing is, how would this really be cutting into profits? I mean if it wasn't for the start collecting kits, would there really be profits? So either they are trying to make the Start Collecting sets more enticing or this is just GW logic that boggles the mind and they are reverting to old practices again.

'Cept Brimstones are two to a base, so one base replaces one Blue. You would need 10 bases to replace 10 Blue Horrors, not 20.

judicators sold out oO

or replaced?

Not sold out in the US store. Pretty sure those are an all new heavy artillery kinda shooty sigmarine. I'll have to grab a box of em, and those gryphon riders look great too. Never did get the drakoth riders though, meant to, but too many other projects going on :( Definitely want to get me a box of the gryphhounds. Still kinda bummed that the hound in the silver tower box was so much smaller than the one that came with the sigmarine lantern guy. Feels like they don't match. I guess the other one is just a baby.

sold oud in EU store (UK, France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Finland, Italy, Denmark, Deustchhland, Belgique, Poland, Norway)

Like the riders not the crossbow looks like they are holding a ballista , which I don't like. Each to their own though.

I'm really liking the mount of this. I don't know if it's the sculpt or the paintjob, but something about the beasts face just screams "son, you done up" love it

Mhmm. That's a cracking model.

I prefer that mount so much more than the Dracoths. I'm not a massive fan of the Stormcasts but they have the odd thing that's really nice (as that thing is!)

It's a really cool model, but would make more sense as a mount for a Tzeentch hero.

That mount is craking. That will be extremely popular for conversions, mark my words.

Brraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!

The mighty gryph-chargers are known for their fearsome warcries, uttered in the closing moments of their charge.

"BA-KAW!"
