Hat-tip to Natfka :

Pr... pre... preview? What's that? lol

Damn... they included the four best Bloodbound sculpts... Might have to get this...

edit: They actually didn't, they don't have the Slaughterpriest with Hackblade, which is the best alongside the normal Slaughterpriest (which is in the box). Would be perfect if it had him instead of the Aspiring Deathbringer.

Oh I know, but you generally didn't see that at all until Lost Patrol 2nd Ed. GW used to give you little-to-no heads up on new stuff.

Between this and the Silver Tower heroes it really seems like they want people to have the Slaughterpriest with axe in a bundle. Maybe he sold so well that they don't feel like losing out when bundling him, as people might have one already, whereas the other one has to xell some more models on his own. Or maybe he DIDN'T sell? Or it is strictly going by oldest in the bundle? If GW was a company with a less, uh, ineresting marketing strategy history speculating would be wayyy easier.

And who might be the four other chars be? The Hackblade Slaughterpriest and the Impaling Spear guy are probably a given, but who else? Khorgos and the Bloodsecrator to keep it all plastic? Skarr? Khorne Herald? The Darkoath Chieftain for board game cross-over? OR will they give rules for finecast stuff?

PS: Can someone please PM me about the Pit Fighter rules/arena? All the GW links are dead and I don't have a BGG account.

Oh this is cool, might just have to pick it up.

Release on September 24th and we already have pictures not taken during an earthquake? And already a review. What is this?

Preview, not review.

How much do we think this will be in pounds? £35?

I have been thinking about getting this game more and more thoughout the day. September gives me a nice amount of time to finish off some current projects too.

For reference for all posters(not just picking on you here):
GW prices their items based upon "price bands". You can easily figure out how much something will be based upon the price given elsewhere. To use this "Gorechosen" set as an example:
The USD price listed is $60. Items in that price band include Lost Patrol, the Terminator Command Squad, and a Hammerhead; which are 35 GBP.

Exchange rates do affect the pricing, which is why the storm surge is cheaper than a knight in the uk yet more expensive in New Zealand.

Never apologize! They're getting paid for their ability to use language, the least they could do is actually use it.

Or if they had him instead of the guy already included in the AoS character pack...

After seeing this up on the GW store for £35 I think I am going to get this. Could be a great boardgame to get 3 friends to play who aren't into warhammer. Also gives me an excuse to paint up 4 awesome Bloodbound models.

Anyone wondering if this will be a pattern for chaos?

Tzeentch= Silver tower

Khorne= Gorechosen

Think Nurgle might be next with the campaign being about his invasion of the life realm?

(Then maybe Slaanesh game to mark it's return and horned rat=new Mordheim for a Vermintide shout out?)

Just my thoughts!

Great idea. Hope it happens. Especially of your Vermitntide, would love to get the Big Rat (forgot his name.) and a few others even cheaper now.

The gameplay seems to be themed as well.
So Silver Tower had a dynamic system that changes each time you play.
Gorechosen is simple, and all about strength without any trickery or hiding.
Nurgle, will it be a game that keeps growing until you get sick of playing it?
And Slaanesh...

This seems to be up on the GW sites now


Not released until September though note.

I have learned legends of such things, from the time of my father's father.

The before times.

Are these guys in the Gorchosen game?

The bare headed one is not. The slaughter priest is free with the September white dwarf. The other one is in the game.

Thanks Chickout.

*edit* Stupid auto correct saying checkout all the time.

So GW is completely ignoring the pound's drop in value due to Brexit?

At today's $1.32 to the pound, £35 = $46.14, not $60. This is a nearly 25% "Colonials tax" penalty (and yes I know the NZ/AUS penalty is much worse...).

£35/$60 is using $1.71 to the pound, an exchange rate that has not existed for more than a day or two since the 2008 crash eight years ago. No wonder the prices are so high...

Quite the opposite. They are guarding against the drop in profitability that selling at a disadvantageous exchange rate might bring. They aren't the first company to raise overseas pricing and won't be the last.

$60 USD is a crazy price for a game with four plastic models.

Welcome to why the rest of the non-British world complains about GW pricing.

Welcome to why the rest of the non-British world complains about GW pricing.

And why GW's financials look positive even in the middle of a world recession.

It basically amounts to a 50% on the four minis with a free minigame included.

Suppose the minis cost $100 each, making this box an 85% discount off retail. Would the box suddenly become more valuable to you than it is currently?

Crazy is crazy.

Of course it would. Your spending 60 to save 340 bucks. 95% of these one off games GW makes are for the minis, not the actual game. The one offs are short time fillers. You can buy this to use the models in Silver Tower and in Age of sigmar, so 60$ for this is a great price. Ive paid for more games that come with crappy colored wooden meeples. Id rather get 4 high quality/detailed plastic figures.

Those particular minis are very fair value at $15 each.
