New plastic kit, larger models and nearly half the price that they were.

Still think it was around the "goldswords" era that it started going mad.


He doesn't mean the new plastic blood knights, I think it was referencing the old pewter blood knights which came out brand new very expensive then they went to finecast and jumped up even more in cost. I'm sure the new plastic blood knights feel amazing by comparison.

This, also, sure as a "Special" classification you didn't need or even couldn't really field all that many of them. But when 10 of these cost you in essence 4 x as plastic marauder horsemen, which were an awesome kit and still are btw... yeah.. there's a problem there then.

Also a better exemple indeed would've been the DE infantry already brought up or the goldhänders...

GW prices are strange anyway. IG 10 man box costs as much as it does, when it gets the new sprue for heads and weapons, it will probably cost more. All nice, up until you get told that the same box once had 20 dudes.

I think someone told me that other non marine armies had boxs like that too, I just don't know which factions.

if GW suddenly gets the idea to remake GK termintors and starts puting them in stores, as a paladin/termintor box with 3 models inside, at the cost of the 5 man box we have right now. I don't think people are going to be happy, just because the heads of the models are updated and the box comes with 2 force staffs instead of 1 per box.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.

If they up the Guard box a bunch I don't know who will be buying it, it's already crazy expensive for 10 guardsmen. It goes up much more it'll be competing with intercessors for cost and I'm sorry but even if you hate marines, 10 primaris marines are a much better purchase than 10 guard for near the same price. Both in terms of value for money but in how many you'd need just to field a good army.

Though I guess then they'd make the heavy Ints look like a good buy ? The flayed ones will stay looking like a total rip off however.

They might but they will probably be monopose, and some of the poses will be very specific. So it'll look horrible when you try to field an actual infantry force made up of them.

I think he meant that Gw will increase the price for the additional sprue, for the 18 + years old cadians.

And a regiment of 30 women in acrobatic poses looks pretty silly. If they had just had them captured in a pose that implied running, it would have been fine. Instead they are all leaping off random bits of masonry. That kind of posing works in skirmish units like wardancers but not block regiment units like Witch Elves.

Maybe they'll sell the upgrade kit separately. A similar kit for other factions would be great. An upgrade kit for CSM with 3 chaincannons and an assortment of other weapons would sell like hotcakes. They probably aren't that smart though.

I have given up trying to make sense of GW pricing. They will have prices that are entirely reasonable or even a bargain (considering the quality) hit the floor right next to models pushing the bar for absurdity.

I really wish they would sell the upgrade sprue seperate, I'll buy a few if so and they aren't insanely expensive. At this stage in knowing GW I can't assume they will be sane they just go all over the board their policy on releases is kind of all over the crazy scale, price wise.

it's GW. GW has done worse things.
And GW plans in advance, end times and a lot of endtime release models were carried over.

And initially the end times were liked until people realised that GW would indeed blow up the old world...

honestly, i fully expect GW to demand another 5 CHF for the additional sprue in the cadians.
Which is a shame really, because they could've added that sprue like 5 years ago but no.

It is weird it's almost like the end times was set up to build up, make excitement, stir up sales and smash peoples armies apart.

They knew exactly what they were doing, they wanted to sell books, and push old models then punch people in the ball sack. Everyone knew it would be a story line shift, no one expected what they did do and it pissed off a fair few people when it happened. If I played some of the armies that were straight squatted I'd have been livid. As is, I never went to AoS, never will probably and just wait to see if the new Fantasy reboot is workable with my guys or play other fantasy based systems with them or old WHFB editions.

Looking at the cost for them, in USD, if they cost them much higher who the heck is going to buy them ? The sprue is nice and I'd buy it alone but for most guard players, they have extra guys and would love more options. For the cost increase they will most likely do it it, no way. Who is going to buy enough troop boxes to even make an army for guard at those costs ?

As I had said, they'd be about the same price as a troop box for primaris marines, or even first born marines for that matter. Both would give more bang for the buck than 10 guardsmen and they'd be able to make actual viable armies of much fewer boxes. Who would want to spend primaris level cash on models so old just for an upgrade sprue at that point ? If they leave the cost the same ( super duper doubtful ) that would be great but they won't. If they sell the sprue on its own, people will buy them for sure. I don't know how many ancient troop boxes it'll sell raising the cost up however.

Angry Angel, i was wrong, they will demand seemingly 6.5£ more for the upgrade sprue, so the price for me will probably increase around 10-15 CHF because GW magic exchange rates...

I'm just sitting here waiting to see what crazy cost they jack the price up to in USD and if they will sell the sprue on its own for a reasonable cost.

If it jacks up much higher as you say and I said, what is the point then ? Get people all hyped for it just to cost it into the ground.

Since when does GW sell sprues seperately? They did curb stuff like that long ago, so i think we look at a gak out of luck situation for guard players that wanted to get some of them.

They have, and still do, sell upgrade sprues. Some of those sprues are even distributed within kits as well.
So it's possible.

I don't think it's likely, I would expect those to have been shown on the leaked prices if they did exist.

In 8th ed they made and sold upgrade sprues for all the primaris chapters. If I remember correct people really wanted to get the salamander ones, because it had a thunder hammer. I think the store I go to still has the white scars blisters with the upgrades, alongside the limited edition sob with bolter.

They do sell some of them last I looked, like the deathwatch upgrade sprue for instance. If they will do it for this ? That could go either way, I am hoping they do because they'd maybe see some peoples hands then as not many are going to spend $45 USD for 10 guard just for it, that really is terrible sucky for costing.

Yeah, except those separate sprues tend to be either Marines or Chaos marines....

45 $... I still think that's not going to happen with the separate sprue, if only because GW tends to only really do that nowadays for the specific chapters of SM and CSM

Have you something productive to state or not.
the fact remains that most sprues sold separately were marines and chaos marines upgrade sprues.
Special weapons bits service died long ago aswell.
So excuse me again, but since when does GW intend to sell upgrade sprues for non marines separately, because as of right now i am not aware of non FW ones.

There's also the Genestealer Cults Upgrade Frame and the Tzaangor Upgrade Pack.

Which upgrade packs are not available separately?

Since when does GW sell sprues seperately? They did curb stuff like that long ago, so i think we look at a gak out of luck situation for guard players that wanted to get some of them.


In 8th ed they made and sold upgrade sprues for all the primaris chapters. If I remember correct people really wanted to get the salamander ones, because it had a thunder hammer. I think the store I go to still has the white scars blisters with the upgrades, alongside the limited edition sob with bolter.


Yeah, except those separate sprues tend to be either Marines or Chaos marines....


I am not following your line of thought.GW makes upgrade sprues for model lines that are popular, need it and will sell. What kind of an upgrade sprue would you want for something like necrons? The SoB model line is build in a such a way to entice people buying extra boxs to make specific non grunt level units, so giving an upgrade sprue would make no sense, as it is already build in to the SoB troops and heavy boxs.

Good moving goal posts. "Since when...?" "yeah but that doesn't count"


I don't really think it's a moving goal post, heck I am here wishing they would sell it on its own but I really don't think they will. I hope though that I am wrong and they surprise me, so far with this release they have not surprised me.
