Hey Chikout, can you post your preview for next week in this thread?

Certainly! Here it is.To be absolutely crystal clear this is for the week after the broodlord. Preorder On June 11th. Released on June 18th. The week after the 40k scenery. The enginseer and the broodlord. The source is the spikey bits forums.

Lost Patrol. It matches up to the predicted release schedule.

Ooh.That must be it. Mystery solved. Thanks. I guess nothing else major that week then.

Yeah $50 hurts. If they were 33 to 40 I'd be getting 3. At this price I'll stick with 2.

I agree - 50 dollars takes it right out of impulse buy and into 'Planned scenery project." At 40 I would collect them and the would becoma random add on to a small purchase. Now I will limit myself on them.

Too bad, it just misses the mark I my opinion.

Yeah, they're pretty and all, but $85 for three shipping containers is a great big 'Nope' from me...

Don't think anybody has shared this preview play through for Lost Patrol from Watch It Played.

If you keep up with board gaming, Watch It Played is one of the better youtube channels on the topic.

Depending on how much my flgs charges, I may actually purchase a set.

Out of curiosity, did nobody around here purchase the Bones shipping containers? Those are only, like $8. How do you guys not already have a ton of those?

Not available here, and I haven't seen any real feedback on them. Are they hard plastic, or bendy PVC, or...? (And how well do they take sprays/paints?)

When I say affordable I mean £5 or so each, like these prepainted foamed plastic ones from Tablescapes. I have a load of these and none of the hassle or smell of MDF.


So for say £15-20 for 3 (+ crates/barrels), I'd be interested in a few of these kits from GW.

Do you mean Secret Weapon? Link?

While pointing out similar products to a given release is reasonable, any extended discussion of said alternate products should really be held elsewhere, rather than clogging up the news thread...

£10 (~£8 from the usual discounters) for a container, four crates and three barrels seems pretty reasonable compared to the other hard plastic containers on the market.

£8.75 each for makitainers
£7.10 each (+ 20% tax) for Rust Forge containers
£15 each for Italeri containers

AUD$85? Oh come on GW...

SEK 360 for those containers? Oh man I'm gonna buy so many at that price... Well at least two packs.

I added an erroneous 's' for some reason before and you found a similarly named US company.

This one is UK based with a US retailer; can't see anything that side of the Kraken sea though.

Pretty cool guy that makes it. I met him at Salute and he challenged me to stand on the containers to prove their durability. Suffice to say I'm no Size Zero and they're super durable!

Re the GW ones, I'm sad that I got the £30 price correct. At discount they're more attractive but still it makes it a one-off buy rather than 3-4.

Also remember that they come with barrels & ammo boxes too.
So £30 for 3 + extra bits means less then £10 each for each crate.
I do feel very sorry for those of you in NZ & Aus though.

Aye it looks like this is a return to "pricey but not ridiculous in comparison to alternatives*


*not for viewers in Aus/NZ" for GW terrain rather than the "HOW MUCH?!?!" of recent times.

Damn! I really wanted to get two boxes so I could use these as objectives, but not now, not at that price point. $66 would have been more than fair, I would have even paid $80, but I just cannot justify $100.

Wait 50$ US? for 3 container and a bunch of other terrain stuff?

and thats before online retailer discounts?

dude thats a fantastic price point.

It still ends up at around 15 a crate and about 5 for the extra boxes and details.

and its not some really simple design modern shipping container that looks really off in 40k as is. and i know some of those containers in scale gets stupid expensive.

and this is before discounters so it will end up being 13-12 a container which is fine.

If they were big, sure, but they're not that big. They're about the size of a Coke can laying on its side.

You can buy nearly every other 40K terrain kit for less than $50.00 each.

The price point for this kit was correct at $33.00.

Well you cant please everyone all of the time.

for 3 containers, 6 ammo cases, and 9 fuel barrels ... it's decent enough

I agree with this. It is pretty good for GW.

Most of the various shipping container options out there are around US$10-$15 each. So $50 for three with a bunch of other stuff is pretty much on the money.

Yeah, I don't think I can be mad at this price point. Solid cost for a solid release. Besides, all the cheap went into their bases at just over 50 cents each for the 32's

Who wants to live in a converted container? I do I do! I am definitely going to convert one into a noodle shop!

1. Never get between Dakka and a good witch burning.
2. I think everyone and their grandmother already has enough barrels and boxes to last a lifetime.

I think FW needs to do either a Valkyrie or Arvus Lighter variant for air dropping these things.

I want a Storm Raven variant that can drop these and Rhinos.
