During these difficult times, we're all in this together. Now, more than ever, we have to face the new normal. As we stay apart, we can still come together over our hatred of $60 for 3 models. The new normal is the same old bs.

$50 for ork boyz? $30 for gretchin? Yikes.

You did read what it says at the top of that list?

Below I have a handy table that shows exactly what is getting a price hike and my “educated” guess on by how much.

I love that he posted that article on 5/22...when we literally had someone posting a retailer sheet here on Dakka the day before that shows how frigging wrong he is.

Orks are $36. Gretchin are $18.

Don't worry boys, those Orks will be 50$ by the next one or two adjustments, all the way up. Just not this day.

Just don't get my father started on the tale of how he and a group of friends went to the pub and his friend bought the next round of drinks. Announcing upon his return that the round (of about 5 or so people) came to nearly a whole pound!

Today it would be in the region of £20! That's a rise of 20 times!

Thanks, glad he is wrong.

Generally, anything he posts is garbage. Same with BoLS and Faeit.

Unless it looks like it is a screencap? Don't bother with it. Or just don't bother with those malware ridden dumpsterfires to begin with.

The archaecopter seems really expensive, the other stuff pretty much as expected.
i don't expect I will stop buying as such, but the level of that buying may be significantly reduced. I do want to expand on my Sisters but their price is already established and it's not going to be a competitive army for me, more of a fun build.

Removed - Rule #1 please

Eeek! Someone told a joke! Quick delete it before someone cries!

The other bonus is that, unlike a model plane, when you play with your GW models they don't run a high chance of being smashed into tiny tiny bits at the end of play. I've seen more than enough videos of model planes not just landing badly but crashing into tiny tiny bits as the hurtle into the ground. Now there's a hobby where you really have to love building and rebuilding.

Pretty sure they were referring to buying an actual plane, not an RC one.

Model plane?
Who said anything about a model?

He may be referring specifically to the Yano plane theory. Yano proposed a conjecture predicting the b-exponents of an irreducible plane curve singularity which is generic in its equisingularity class. But everyone know about this, right?

Hot damn, I wonder what the Underworlds warbands are going up to. I was going to buy Rippas Snarlfangs and the Grymwatch for adding to skirmish warband collections.

See my above link.

$33 for the Beastgrave warbands, $34 for the previous season's.

I think it was a kid-like contraction of "you know".

Interestingly, it seems that only the price of the actual Underworlds warbands go up, as I can't see the models-only kits (i.e. without cards) being listed, so presumably they stay the current price.
Still ordered a kit the other day though, as the complete set with a discount from an independent store was cheaper than the models-only one direct from GW. Probably won't be much of a different left after the price increase.

I do want to note that a lot of this is marketing tricks to push people into buying bundles. Start collectings and their regularly cycling two army boxes. It's a tool so they can go "See how much you are saving picking up rise of the phoenix".

It's actually pretty common marketing trick here. Bundles as deals, which get you to buy in on models you wouldn't get otherwise.

For example, as it stands, if I were to start to seriously collect space marines again (dumping all my really truly abysmally painted old marines), I'd pick up three start collecting space wolves. But that leaves me with three sets of space wolf gubbins I won't use cause I play ultramarines, and three lieutenants I don't need. And then, since I've already bought in because of the "deal" I'd be pushed into buying in on things to round out my force. Eliminators are too good to go without. Oh, I probably need some extra hqs that aren't lieutenants (of which I would have 4 at this point. And I already have captains, so they won't be that).

The vehicles are the things that kill me the most though. Man that sticker shock is rough. Although, mentally, character models are easily the worst value, they're not a throbbing 80 plus dollars.

I’m 99.9% sure they were being tongue in cheek.

It's a rather common sentiment though. That, as a luxury, only the affluent deserve GW products. They rarely state out the corollary of "And poor people don't deserve luxury goods" which is implicit in this line of argument and is super distressing from an ethical stand point.

I've seen people on this forum genuinely say so.
I can't recall the charming fellows name. But it was along the lines of "If you've not spent as much as I have then I'm not going to play you".

Expect this to be deleted soon of course.
Ah it was edited and posts removed to hide the goof up HAHA. sad.

Then that's probably the new price...or it's a new SKU.

There's a few items like that, such as the Techpriest Dominus, which are listed as changing but the change is the same price as before.

May they've been repacked with the new style instructions. The ones I got at the beginning of the year still had the grey scale one.
