Confirmed where?

UK price confirmed: £175 for the big box set.

Good luck getting one though, it's going to be extremely limited availability apparently.

Let's not forget this boxed set is the limited edition of the game though, kinda like the rare, limited editions of computer games where you get a free action figure or Master Chief helmet, lol.

£175 is a steal though, the rulebook is massive and the usual FW quality and you get everything you need in one hit.

People need to be aware though the Grand Master edition is not the AT starter set - it's a one off deal and probably won't come around again.

The actual main starter set just has the rules and templates - you then buy what you want in the same way you do for other games.

And £65 for the Warlord (Knights are £20).

Where do you have the confirmation from?

If indeed true, and 1 warlord free, then £65 in savings, about 27%.

£175 means only £131 from a full 25% retailer, I'm happy with that!

Gonna re-post these again so this 'limited availability' rumour stops being repeated.

"best value ever" ???

All they have to do is mark the individual components up enough and it becomes best value ever.

So knights are 25US$ then.

I hope this is true as it doesn't match up with what I have been told.

The Grand Master edition will only be available via GW (the 2 London independent retailers I have spoken to have both confirmed this) and GW stores will only receive 1 copy each and that's it - then direct only and for a limited time.

I would love for it to be available for longer and at a discount though so will be happy if my info is incorrect.

More likely around US$33 if you take the GW exchange rate (see Basilicanum £60 vs US$100 or Lady Olynder £27.5 vs US$45)

20 Pounds becomes $32 in GW prices. If you could get them from a UK stockist then yes they would be about $26.

Just like the Start Collecting! Tzeentch box, where Screamers and Flamers got a dramatic price increase just before it came out.

I actually misread it as Euro. Those dual guns knight will be so expensive it might actually be better to just buy a warhound instead.

Well, I have just ordered a dozen of them...

Indeed. I am more thinking in comparison to other bundles and sets. E.g. Kill Team or Dark Imperium or Necromunda vs their components acquired separately. To clarify, I am doubtful it will be "best value ever".

Has any information come out on the price of the civitas imperialis sector set yet?

Just spoke to my FLGS and they are getting copies and will be doing pre-orders
So this isn't GW only and I don't think it's going to be extremely limited

Really!? Gotta say that's little more than i thought it would be.... Who am I kidding I'm still gonna buy it! XD

The little building set is just £25.

Any idea how much the small set is, and what the difference is? i.e is the large set just two or three small sets in one box?

edit: looking at the older pics I think the large set is four boxes for the price of 3.

Posted on B&C by Old-Four-Arms

Warlord : 85 EUR
Questoris Knights : 25 EUR
Rules : 45 EUR
Grand Master Edition : 230 EUR
Civitas Imperialis : 32.50 EUR
Civitas Imperialis Sector : 100 EUR

A quick conversion to £

Warlord : 63.75
Questoris Knights : 18.75
Rules : 33.75
Grand Master Edition : 172.50
Civitas Imperialis : 24.50
Civitas Imperialis Sector : 75 (how many sprues? 6 large 6 small or 4 of each or 8 of each?)

If true, this would give around 37% discount vs components bought separately, a bit less if value of terrain is £50 (~2 small terrain sets), in that case 30% discount

Still awaiting official prices

My guess is the small set is 2 large sprues (2 buttresses per sprue, 4 on the box cover) and 2 small sprues.

The sector is either 4 of each, matching what you have in the GME, or more likely in view of the £75 rumour 6 of each sprues, or maybe 8 as you point

We'll see soon

Can't find anything on the store for 230 Euros. Closest approximation is Legion of the Damned + EZ2B Primaris Collection.

And in Australian that works out to $470.

They're out of their fething minds.

Well based on the general views that:

1) If the big kit is limited they are out of their minds because it will outsell far too fast

and

2) If the big kit really is that price no one will buy it

then I'd say there's an even 50/50 chance that GW are either sane or insane!
In the end the high entry price is only on one boxed set of multiple ways into the new game. There's no pressure to get it and chances are that many people will build up to what is in the starter kit over time.

Small set is 4 sprues. 8 in the Grand Master boxed game, 16 in the large building set.

Someone mentioned the rulebook is "massive".

It's 96 pages regular codex size, it's on par with the FW red books for quality. Hardly massive.

It's massive considering that current GW rules are 8 pages or so long with the rest being fluff and battlepland and such. Also don't forget most codex have multiple pages for units; we already know that the number of models in this range is far smaller.

My feeling is that these rules are deeper and more detailed than what current 40K/Sigmar rules are. Heck we might even get an index page!

Well yeah, that’s disappointing because it essentially represents no discount whatsoever on the models, just reducing everything else in the box to £5.

You do get a lot, but the terminals are just cardboard sheets and if you aren’t setting up your own home table the terrain is a complete afterthought. Compare it to the very similar Knight Renegade for maximum disappointment.

I assume that this drive to include big hardback rulebooks in starter sets is because they know people are just acquiring digital rules for free all the time, but it hurts multiple sales of the same boxset by bloating the price of Dark Imperium and AoS2 compared to the previous starters.

I think GW expects 1 box per pair of new players possibly 1 box per player for serious players. The whole "lets buy 10 boxed set games" has never been the GW focus. Sure online some people do get that keen, but they are in the vast minority.

Getting started boxes are where GW expects you to get more than one.

Here a quick comparison table based on the various info and rumours, these are not official figures (updated US$ prices, AU$ and NZ$ based on GW exchange rate for latest release)

Those "Big value" box are GW-branch product. AT is a FW-branch product, alongside the Blood Bowl, Necromunda. Both of those starter set didn't give you any plastic value at all.

Now AT go one step beyond with single frame knight being price almost as much as duplicate frame Blood Bowl team.
