That's a really bad way to sell the core set. They should have just sold the two sprues as one boxset.

so, the question is if the Servants of the Abyss is priced competitively with just buying a second copy of the game. I'm gonna guess it reaches 60-70 bucks, which means you could basically get a second set of explorers for marginal cost. not a bad deal if you want to paint a set for 40k.

Well, so far nothing with the Blackstone Fortress label has been priced with anything approaching sanity, so my guess is no, these won't be worth it.

Price, from Faeit, Spikeybit, BOLS.

Cultist : 15£/25US$

Servant : 25£/40US$

Actually pretty cheap especially Cultists, The firebrand himself is a full character on his own sprue.

Gonna get a few of those cultist box, shocking pricing for 2019 GW

Escalation pack is crazy cheap for 8 unique minis. Half the price of a 8-man Warcry warband.

Also makes for the cheapest single-purchase Necromunda gang.

Depending on price banding and discounts I might be happy that Ihaven't bought any BSF dudes from ebay so far. Might be cheaper/come with "free" minis in comparison from GW. Is hell frozen over?

I would be stunned if that was true, but even if it is, it'll easily be double that out here.

Okay, I'm curious for input on playing the game solo. I have the base game painte,d and the Ambull in box. I played a few missions with a buddy, but I"ve since moved, and I doubt I'll have anybody to play with any time soon.

I'm ready to start over and play through solo, but there is not so much content, I'm not sure where to begin. Should I just play the base game, paint the ambull, and then add that after I finish? Should I buy escalation and paint that before I start?

Any input would be helpful!

I'm playing through it solo. It's quite good fun even in your own I view it as a challenge to see how much good kit you can grab in between missions and then totally tool up your team

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

I should be technically able to get them at flgs then.
I guess my daemon side project can wait a bit.

For anyone that has the Escalation expansion, do you need to use the new hero characters in the escalation expansion to play through those missions? Or can you use the heroes from the boxed game?

That's surprisingly nice.

How much would be them translating to GW euro taxed prices? (They don't make real currency exchange, € prices are always way more expensive than they should be with actual currency conversion rates...)

I'd go further than that and hope that not only do they compile everything in a book at some point but have actual physical cards rather than junk printed in the magazine.

That irked me with a lot of the Quest and Gore Chosen rules they had.

Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!

Switzerland’s not in the EU and doesn’t use the Euro, though.

Also, a typo in that image; the cultists are €20.
