This really shouldn't come as a shock about the DC Intercessors. The Combat Squads, when they were available, were $35USD/5 vs $60 for 10.

Technically they were 20£ when separate, so in GW land it's still a "discount". If you squint and don't try to think, at least.
I really miss DW 7th edition release with free upgrade sprues, I got Terminator box with three, today it would be twice the price

Meanwhile it's £35 for 10 Intercessors.
So £17.50 for 5, plus £9 for the upgrade frame, which would give... £26.50?
GW, we need to talk about your ability to perform basic calculations...
Same applies to the Hounds - and given Ragnar-is is priced at £26.50 on GW.com, we know that's a possible price point!
It's new kit. Thus getting price hike.
Really looking at old sku prices is pretty futile with gw

You'd still get more mileage out of buying the old DC and the new Intercessors box.
The upgrade frame has nothing compared to the bits in the old DC box.

The bog standard 10 Intercessors box is no longer on GW webstore though, it's "SOLD OUT ONLINE - No longer available Online" (not simply "Temporarily out of stock Online"). Eliminators as well.
Probably a repack, but they could cost more when they put them on the webstore again.

We haven't seen a price sheet yet(or at least I haven't found one), but they line up like this: Bastion Platoon(Guard), Interdiction Force(Loyalists), Fungal Loonhorde(Gitz), Decimation Warband(Traitor Marines)--$200USD apparently. Eradication Legion(Necrons), Starpulse Cadre(Tau), Broodswarm(Tyranids), Meatgrinder Warglutt(Ogors), Barak-Nar Skyfleet(Overlords), and Fatesworn Host(Disciples of Tzeentch)--$210USD(matches Catacombs) For a breakdown, starting with AoS: Fatesworn Host is $312 in contents. Barak-Nar is $308 in contents. Meatgrinder Warglutt is $246 in contents plus a standard Gargant(which has no single model price anymore, being only sold in a 2 pack at $125) Fungal Loonhorde is $270 in contents(with some weirdness thanks to being seemingly intended to be 15 Squig Hoppers--so a box and a half). 40k: Bastion Platoon is $292 in contents. Interdiction Force is $291 in contents. Decimation Warband is $280 in contents. Starpulse Cadre is $309 in contents. Broodswarm is $313 in contents(?!? when did Tyrant Guard go to $70?!) Eradication Legion is $319 in contents. Updated after I found a pricesheet floating in the aether. $200 for the first batch not $195.

Unless my calculator failed me, that seems to be the case.
I should add that I'm figuring the "missing Squig Hopper" is just a photoshop snafu. Otherwise, that box goes down by $35 as the Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig might have been intended to be the missing 15th Squig Hopper.

Are we sure it’s 15 squigs? The box shows only 14 AND the number of minis described on the box wouldn’t add up, if it’s 15 squigs.
I understand, that the guy behind photoshop might’ve messed up, but surely they wouldn’t make 2 mistakes on 1 box cover?

Shortly after the image went out they confirmed on Facebook that it's 15 Squig Hoppers the box image and number is wrong but it's too late to change it now.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar - There are 15 Hoppers in the box, one of them just bounced off before the photoshoot.

£125ish on average is a nice price point considering we'd heard rumours of £140. Necron and Tyranid sets tempt me a lot; the Necron has a lot I want the Tyranid some big key items.
Sadly I'm burned out so chances are I might have to let them pass or cross my fingers that some sets survive. The Tyranid might, the Necron I think will sell out reasonably fast.
Tzeentch I think will sell out the fastest.

Seriously? Squigs are in every Git bundle. You could search for last years Gitz box, it has only 3 trolls and then just squigs for days.

There's no way it could be 14 unless they do expensive custom mould to screw players over(you take them in multiples of 5).
Do you think gw pays tens of thousands for crappy mould when they could use good one for free
And in other news my wallet is happy there#s no slaves to darkness box. Been dreaming of Archaon led one. About 1k pts of sod box would have been thus super tempting...

Yeah I really don't know why we have to do this dance for weeks on end every time there's a copy paste error somewhere. Like poeple have no clue how manufacturing works.

The picture and number both being wrong is easily answered by one looked at the other.
I.e. they forgot in the photo shoot to pop him in, and whoever did the box art just counted the models they saw.
I wouldn’t say there’s a bad model in that set. All nice sculpts.

The ogres are calling to me. They just look like the most heft for the price. That and a start collecting box I think will make a decent starter horde. Not really feeling the call of any of the other boxes. Trolls come as a distant second.

Please be aware that while you can mix the beastclaw (monster rider) ogres with foot ogres (gutbusters), their respective buffs don't really wok on each other, which is something to keep in mind when planning an ogre army.

Which has been a proble for me starting AoS using my old armies from Fantasy.
Mostly I had all foot ogres and 4 Mournfang plus a cannon (and scraplauncher but they fit either ok I think?).
Was just too split between the two for getting the perks.

Come one you know us collectors are always way to picky XD
Last years had trolls and fanatics on the box too and I only managed to get the Stormcast box instead (sweet box that one).
But a box with just all types of Squigs would be quite nice to see.
The trolls are a bit of a money waste since kits are expensive and they take a considerable portion of box total.

good news, sled-cannon is gutbuster unit as is scrap launcher. Only mournfangs are beastclaw, and having 1 unit of them in an otherwise gutbuster army won't ruin anything.

Reckon I’ll get one, a pair of Start Collecting, and some of those delightfully impractical but suitably bouncy Squig dice.

Haha considered that. With giant from ogor box would get me to 1900. Not sure how useful army that is and 3 boxes total would be...expensive.
(let's see if wayland ships these for free out of UK or are these classified as bulky)
