LOL, no....because every Marine player that is salivating about Heavy Intercessors will be dumping Flayed Ones on every market known to man to try an offset some of the overcosted amount of the KT set.

I'm ok with that. ;-)

Chronomancer will probably still be pricy, but I bet the Flayed ones will be pretty cheap.

Think they will ever get around to DA Veteran Primaris kits?

I doubt we'll see any chapter-specific marine kits anytime soon, if ever, other than the occasional character.

Not soon, but once they clear the catalog of all the first born chapter specific kits, I'm sure they'll come around.

Bah. If they're willing to 'clear the catalog,' I'd hope they'd have enough sense to dump the entire idea of snowflake kits at the same time.
I don't see them doing either any time soon.

I'd rather a Primaris Crusader squad with 5 assault intercessors, 5 reivers, and Templar upgrades first

And I'd rather Shrike's Talons before any Templar stuff, thanks.

But real-talk:
Do we actually need Crusader squads to be the whole nonsense of "A Scouty bit and Power Armor bit" again? If you want Scouts to be in there, ask for a better Scout kit. Primaris still come up through the Scout Squads first.

Indomitus SM characters separate release, preorder Saturday

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/02/21/sunday-preview-purge-necron-tomb-complexes-with-kill-teams-latest-expansion/?fbclid=IwAR3r7TuBvcQ72FpGq_-K5MfFxIQJGxUNRqAJCesRux_67Qlo-Bq38Z3LC1Y

It isn't 'characters separate' as far as I can tell.
Its... odd and defies easy description.

The SM box is bladeguard banner, chaplain and judiciar, plus the monopose eradicators and bladeguard (despite those having multipart kits now).
It doesn't have the captain or LT (presumably because those are in the various starter boxes)


The necron box is the same kind of package deal, but less stuff. Prepare for a glut of secondhand reanimators from people who want the skorpekh lord, plasmancer and cryptothralls.

I think that means, bar a few character options, like gravis from dark imperium, all options in the codex are now available in one release form or another or up to pre-order.

And it's still not everything from Indomitus (Necrons are missing the Overlord and Royal Warden).

Yeah. 4 and a half months later, the space marine releases are finally finished. We can move on with getting entire rest of the range sorted now.

I mean, besides maybe the cryptothralls (and even they're not bad), most of that stuff is pretty cheap online, even after the boxsets been out for a bit. Skorpekh, plasmancer, even the reanimator, can be found for 10-20ish dollars. I know the chaplain is also usually pretty cheap, as is the ancient. (Everything else is pretty expensive, though). Still, glad to see there are ways to get all these models. People were selling the necron portion for around $45, so hopefully it doesn't cost more than that.

Same problem as with this release in that you're forced to buy extra stuff if all you want is those models.

I like your optimism, but it will. 2 characters, a walker and a couple minions? $80 would be my guess. Not less than $60, given GW sells individual characters at $30 or more.

For GW its enough to have them in the starter sets, see Gravis Captain from Dark Imperium which didn't get a release because DI was still around, so don't expect them to release those two as long as the starters are around

Its GW. The alternative is the fate of the Lord of Contagion, Plaguecaster and the several-editions-old chaos cultists (especially the leaders and special weapons troopers): They just vanish.

Given the price of the 5 Intercessor/2 Lt/1 Ancient box, I can only imagine this new box is going to be priced through the stratosphere.

3 character @ $35 each
2 boxes where the full kits are $50 ea.

So $200?

Now, the kits are all monopose, and there is a cap on how much even GW will charge for a a couple of frames. I’d put money on it being around the $100 range.

Actually, technically they are available in the vanguard marine set, but, multipart plastic suppressors are still needed, and then multipart version of some characters, but yes, the end is nigh for current space marine releases... So, 10th edition is in like 6 months then, the gravy train must keep flowing.

We already have a better kit, Palatine Enforcers.

Shotguns and Boltguns...check
Sniper Rifle....check
Mark IV knockoff helmet....check
Bigger than normal humans and smaller than Primaris....check.
Much better kit than old scouts....check

Except starter set costs about as much as single character does, so you're not 'forced' to do anything. If anything, the starters are a huge boon if you want these particular models because everything else is nearly free and you can easily recoup your costs by selling extra stuff.

Or is complaining about one of the few rare areas where GW is still affordable a thing now?

Pretty sure it's just one frame.

It is a single large sprue just like the Heroes of the Chapter. I would expect it will cost $75 just like that kit.

Goodie for Japan, I guess? The amount of effort I'm willing to put in for a model doesn't go nearly that far.

I'm talking about discontinued models, not a shoulder pad or helmet swap. Yes, there are a lot of ways to do a 'counts as' model for lots of things, but that doesn't mean GW should stop selling models they already make.

B) A malignant plague caster is as much a sorcerer as a noise marine is a khorne berzerker.
C) The Lord of Contagion is actually not available in any way.

I could not recall from building my Indominus box if it was one large frame or two smaller, connected ones. My bad.

At $75 with the Eradicators and the Bladeguard vets, this would fly off the shelf. And ebay would be flooded with the characters. 2x3 very nice squads are going to sell better then another 5 intercessors.

Beyond that, you know how you get the Japanese Plaguecaster? In a $60+ paint set. Or, you can go on ebay. People are selling it for the low cost of $85, with shipping ranging from $10-50. All for one model that has two head options. The best example I can think of for this sort of logic is someone saying "I want a Khorgorath (AOS)" and someone responding, "Hey, it's still on sale. Go buy the $100 start collecting"
