the 69 is most likely an on-the-nose joke.

Oh you KNOW it is

I’m confused, where does Sigvald’s price have a 69 in it?

Sigvald is £34.50 two Sigvalds are £69

D’oh. I looked through a whole bunch of currencies as well

Darn it I knew 69 was involved but I'd not checked the price in ages.

I think it's nice of them to give you free grave guard and horses for the price of one wight lord.

Exalted.

It's really all a matter of perspective, indeed.

The start collecting is annoying as I was really after that mounted Wight Lord. That said at least the Grave Guard, whilst being ancient and showing their age, are a great unit in game. And you would be insane to pay the current £27.50 for 10, or local equivalent, that they cost for them. The Black Knights seem a lot less useful though.

Yeah, it's awfully nice they gave AoS players yet another excellent discount box when 40K players get constantly shafted and lost yet more SC this week for no reason whatsoever. Especially seeing what junk replaced it.

Oh wait, it's another of baseless complains, isn't it

I mean, it'd be also nice to make the model available on it's own, in case I want to buy that model. You know, being consumer-friendly.

Or you can stop your baseless defending and actually listen to what people are complaining about? The model not being avalible outside of said box?

So then wait until it's available separately? They said it was only temporarily exclusive to the box. This is only an issue for people who can't wait to own the newest things right away.

Because GW never said anything and then completly backtracked on it before...

yes, that is in fact how marketing works. They show you thing, and you want the thing.
It doesn't change the fact that it's not consumer-friendly to keep it in a bundle instead of offering the consumer the option to buy it separately. It's a convenience thing, and GW chose to inconvenience those of us who don't want extra old models with their wight king.

the cauldron of the rumour from grimdark?

Yeah, seems like the rumours are correct.

Which mean Chaos Dwarves might actually be a thing that exists in AoS.

They already were.

Are any of us going to pay half the cost for JUST the wight king anyways?

I meant in miniature form, as a actual army, not setting background noise.

Your post is a complete non-sequitur that in no way addresses anything I've said.

I swear you're just post farming......

This was all covered a few pages back.

I said before, they've done this "put a new hotness behind a paywall before it gets release solo" many time before.

I wonder what AOS Chaos Dwarfs will even be like? I mean, we have literal chaos dwarfs in Warcry, and in the Eight Lamentations, a dwarf like figure is described in smoking armor, with glowing runes, and it purchases a strange, dwarf-like totem of a bull, so...

That does not sound like a silent menace at all

Yeah I reckon that's the opposite of throwing darts at a board, that sounds like a very intentional choice

Not until they make the Wight King actually worth taking.

I tried to build the Black Knights the other day and gosh that was just an awful kit. I refuse to touch the Grave Guard because IMO that's one of the kits that they really needed to upgrade.

So I'll probably sit on my Soulblight force for a few years and hope that GW finishes updating the range, fixes the rules for the Wight King, and doesn't have one new model in a box with two ancient kits.

Don't worry, it's temporary :

From the Warhammer Community article on last Sunday :
"(which is exclusive to this set at time of launch)"

You just have to wait. Not like it will change anything for you, pretty sure you never intended to buy/paint/play him in a short future anyway.

Of course, I have no doubt you will still complain when you will see the price they'll sell it alone.


Funny people are talking about "paywall" here. I mean, all GW products are only available as purchases already. It's not like they give free miniatures at the start.

Putting a hero only in start collecting boxes at first isn't a paywall, guys. The wight king on steed will always be available via a purchase, here, even if sold alone. Use words for what they are meant to. It's not because it has "restricting access" in its definition that it means what you think it means. Paywalls only apply to content that was available for free before in opposition of having to pay to access it (mostly newspapers).

Otherwise, I guess I got paywall'ed too while buying my bread at my baker today.

Well if you don't want discounted graveguard can always get wight lord　later for likely 40e or so

The current Chaos Marines set was released back in early 2019, and the Master of Possessions is still not available separately, dispite being on its own sprue. Those who would like the mounted Wight King as a separate release might be waiting a long time...

Same with the new chaos warriors release. None of those kits are available separated

Overlooked that one. Thats even worse!

Do we recognise these arrows?

Doesn't ring any bells to me for something from the range at present, but I may be forgetting something obvious.
Similar to the rumour engine quiver.

They do look weirdly similar to the ones Ungor archers have but are definitely not from that box.
