Source on the prices? (as ever, standard question!)

Straight from GW (hawking for pre-orders, so prices need to be given!).

Cheers Matt- anything about special dice?

Rough guesstimations, based on price bands:
Arkanaut Company 27.50GBP~= 45USD(I couldn't find anything at a 27.50 GBP price point easily, closest was the Gyrocopter at $45)
Arkanaut Frigate 50GBP=85USD price point(same as a Carnosaur)
Admiral 15GBP=35USD price point(same as a box of Saurus Knights)
Book 25GBP=40USD(I'll be interested to see if there's something I've missed here, but maybe the book is coming out as softback to start with or it's smaller?)
Cards 10GBP=15USD

Thought on Colonial Prices....

Was Shadow War not much better priced for conversion? I know it was cheaper than advertised in WD over here, and I do seem to remember it may have been the same in the Colonies?

It was.

Bear in mind, when I post those kinds of things--I'm not going to a currency converter.
I go to the GW site and try to match the price there with a product on the US site.

GW uses "price bands", and you can be pretty spot on provided it's not a weirdly priced product with no close equivalent.

Just wondering if it's a one-off better conversion rate or the herald of a new one.

Puts the Skydorf infantry at the same price as the Tzaangors for 10 of 'em. Not horrible.

Not good, either. I was really hoping for less, like the GSC 10 man box. Together with 50 for the medium ship (so probably 30 for the tiny one) that really makes me think more about getting some. High price -> I import instead of using a local store with only 10% off the German price* --> by the time they'd be here the Death Guard kits might be out already and those I probably have to get right away, Euro pricing be damned.


*because current UK prices from discounters are what I feel are still okay for minis,

$40 was the price for the Stormcast, Tzeentch and Khorne hardbacks. Tzeentch was dropped to $25 when it went softback, and I expect the same for Stormcasts and Khorne. Both are decently beefy tomes. That just seems to be the price point GW is aiming for with new tomes.

The Arkanauts look to be a bit heftier than the Acolytes, though. They look to me to be on 32mm bases as opposed to the 25mm for the Acolytes.

Weren't the Acolytes on 32mm bases also?

Or was I putting things on the wrong bases again...

Guess I shouldn't be putting 3 or 4 different boxes together at the same time...

You are correct. The product description says they are on 32mm bases.

Sorry. I meant the Neophytes. Those are the GSC models sold in boxes of 10.

Our 32mm base units (metamorph and acolyte), are sold in boxes of 5, for..... 40 USA bucks. If the Dwarvs are 10 for 45 or 50. I wont complain.

Found confirmed US$ prices on another website:

The following are the USD prices, confirmed from a distributor:
• Arkanaut Admiral $25
• Arkanaught Frigate $80
• Arkanaught Company $45
• Battletome Kahadron Overlords $40
• Warscroll Kahadron overlords $15

Any chance there will be a Start Collecting the following week?

No. Start Collecting boxes don't come out until several months after the new models are released at the earliest.

I kind of figured that, but I haven't been watching GW releases for awhile.

This one is the only one I've paid attention to in quite some time.

An online retailer has listed The General's Handbook as overstock/while supplies last, dunno if that was a stocking error for them or something noteworthy.

They're DORFS, they can't be that big And size isn't that important when it comes to plastics. Ah well, looks like *some* things didn't change for GW.

Getting Arkanauts, balloon dudes, Grundstokk Thunderers, two small ships and a big 'un in one go to build an arctic explorers group will be eye watering. I will see about the DG release date first (oh gods, they'll be twice as much as Blight Kings, right).

9 x 25mm and a 32mm for the heavy.

10x 25 and 2x 32, at least in the boxes I've bought.

Wait... the war scrolls aren't free? There goes my plans to start a Flying Spaghetti Monster army... guess I'll go do eldar...

I think he meant the Warscroll Cards.

Warscroll cards, physical versions non-attached to the tome of the warscrolls. Warscrolls as always will be free on the webpage. This has been a thing for months and hasn't stopped me from getting the pallador's rules from their site.

From the Age of Sigmar Facebook page.

He's hoping for GA: Death. Let the speculation and wishlisting begin!

Jokes on us, Shadow Aelves will only be for Underworlds at first. (please no)

GW is organizing a narrative play event!

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/04/12/narrative-play-tell-your-own-stories/

I assume Auticus and Bottle just collapsed into ecstatic seizures so we wont be hearing from them for a few days.

Well it's only for the board game, so my personal bet will be Orks.

Think about it. They have an Order and Chaos force, and they want something iconic for each of the factions. Death doesn't have an iconic subfaction other than maybe FEC, but Ironjawz are really the posterboys for all of Destruction.

I'd like to be pleasantly surprised but I'm expecting to see a force of ~4 Orruks of one sort or another.

WELL that was how it was with the Disciples of Tzeentch.

Pretty much, considering disciples of tzeentch were first featured in the warhammer quest sliver tower. I mean look at the female stormcast soon as people saw her now on facebook people are begging GW for a upgrade set or a small box set I imagine something similar is going to happen if they go this route for the Aelves.

Night goblins! Now that would be cool.
