Adeptus Titanicus could do with a big old terrain box.

What's the bet they do a Necromunda bundle that has 2 Gang Stronholds, a set of walls, a set of stairs platforms, and 4 tiles, just to spite us.

yeah, they are excellent.

GW did a great little overview video of how modular they are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev4sGiixVPc

Hmmmm, I wonder if that Rohan terrain can be tweaked to fit a Kruleboy swamp theme. I was planning to get some STLs to 3D print, but plastics are almost always better.

The rohan box is nice. I got set last time and from 6 houses made 4 reqular and 1 big one and all looking different to each other.

If it was just houses(i have enough palisade) that would tempt me more than army deals.

Definitely needs a knife taken to them. There are times the LotR range spits out great models, but its so distinctly 'middle earth' that its a turn-off.

Rohan houses are very much LoTR scale and don’t mix well with AoS IMO unlike the Dol Guldur set which is a lot more scale neutral.

Is the scale difference that noticeable on the kits?

I suspect so, it was noticeable on models back in the middlehammer days. By now I suspect you'd even notice on terrain, accepting that model terrain is almost always over sized in some ways. (We expect doors to be one base width wide. My house doors certainly aren't 5-6' across.

Much like the Laketown houses, there's almost nothing that looks specifically Weta, other than someone's familiarity level with the designs, with the exception of the Rohan horse iconography on the roof crossbar which is an optional piece, or removable from the watchtower kit. Otherwise they are suitable for anything (and lots of Saga players use 'em for just dark ages houses)

AOS is Live

%"%£$! I honestly want all of them!

Lumineth would have tempted me more if they'd had the archer fox
Ossiarchs is a very solid set, but hten considering how small their range is you can't really make a bad box for them
Slaanesh really tempts me as that's a great core of mortals - no keeper so not as visually stunning as last years Tzeentch, but youv'e got the awesome new seeker riders in there!
Vampires looks like a very very solid start to vampire army!

£196.50 by my count in the Slaanesh box. That feels a bit too good to be £125, maybe these are £150?

(If they make enough to get via Element that still seems very good.)

Yeah, for those that don't play, LOTR models are so much smaller than 40k and AOS models. Even the smaller scale warhammer fantasy line was noticeably bigger, and that scale only increased with AOS.

I don't recommend getting those kits to use in AOS, since you will notice the size differences. Unless its like a halfling house...?

40%+ is in line with xmas boxes. SC etc give 30%+ and the xmas sets are better in terms of discount.

It's going to be a pain in the ass to get that box if it really is £125, probably down to £105 at third parties? That's a pretty new model range.

Well if these are £125 and third parties do get them and knock off around an extra 20% that's a straight £100. These will fly.

40k - https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/11/18/there-is-only-war-in-the-41st-millennium-these-battleforces-will-make-sure-youre-ready-for-it

Honestly I don't see a dud in them - Ossiarchs perhaps as they aren't the most popular new army, in part I think because they need a second wave of models much like Lumineth got. That said its a fantastic deal for getting started with them or expanding.

I do not foresee any of these lasting a long time in the market.


And yes the Vampire box is a surprise considering its all new models - Slaanesh too and a good chunk of Lumineth - heh the Ossiarchs - the newest concept army of the lot - are the oldest models

Why would it need to be a halfling house? In middle ages, people didn't live in villas, houses were small because wood, especially worked one, was expensive. Doors weren't big either, because you don't want heat to easily escape, nor the nasties to easily get in. Doors need to be one base wide? What? Even in modern buildings you don't see two meter wide doors, half base door would be more realistic.

I like how quickly people forgot with all the price hikes that bigger bundles used to be 50% off...

40k ones up.

I actually want the AdMech one.

That ad mech one is very, very tempting

Many aos modeis are supposead to be bigger than reqular humans though. Stormcast? Over head taller. If doors look they are comfortable for sce/elves they are too small as reqular human house and indeed smaller doors sell size of stormcast(which is why mixing sce&cos is fun. It reinforces just how big sce are).

Gaming wise they are good sized. Not too small to have too little impact, not big enough manouvering too impacted, tall enough it blocks los to most but not monsters. 6 of them fits nicely to board

Oh my word I'll take a marine one and an AM one and probably Sisters and maybe even Orks, thanks very much GW Santa.

God damn, I can see the ork duplicates on the fly >_>

Ok I like the Necron one. Outside of the Warriors, I don't own any of the minis in that box.

Hmmm the 40k ones look a lot less impressive, probably mostly down to including a lot of older models or overlapping with recent starters. AdMech could really use a vehicle in there instead of the Rangers that already came in literally every AdMech bundle ever.

Hm, disappointed in the Sisters one. I was hoping for more infantry. Wish they had dropped the Immolator and put another squad in.

The Necron one is... weird.

would have loved to see the Ork boxset be 3 flyers

if pricing good, the Sisters one will be on my list. Expecting points for their vehicles to drop significantly in next update. Don't have dogmata (although easy conversion) and need more sacresants.

I'm sure Matrindur is busily adding up the prices, which looks most expensive? I'm gonna guess marines.

No Tau? Madness.
