Spoiler:

I saw online someone posted the spoiler for this, but I cant find it now... anyone have that?

I like it, its orange so you can see them better

I like the setting and the idea behind it but it's not very thrilling. Maybe they aren't showing much on the pictures?

Do like the idea of that diorama, but at the same time some of it doesn't seem overly interesting with what's going on. It's all very disjointed with mostly just being random votann miniatures placed randomly in ways where they aren't really doing anything more than their standard miniatures. Can't see any organized searching, no squads sweeping through, no carrying equipment or salvage etc. Just individual Kin placed arbitrarily in a way that feels like they aren't really interacting with the diorama.

The two dismounted Hernkyn are cool though.

Yeah I saw this on the Facebook groups last week I think, the unofficial shots are more interesting. It nice seeing a force of Kin represented- the gathering of vehicles, the standing pioneers and the CoGs cutting into the wreck are all cool. Not especially exciting though - more of a battle scene would have been better. then again maybe they ae leaving space to add new models in when the next wave arrives in the future.

So those UK prices are legit?

I ask because it appears that Oz got Tzcrewed again:

Land Raider Crusader = £65/AUD$132
Hekaton Land Fortress = £65/AUD$180

So an extra AUD$48 because... ?

Because someone needs to pay for Brexit.

At a certain point, it becomes cheaper to take a trip to the UK and pay in GBP than pay the crazy conversion rates.

Gotta be honest, with those insane prices I'm almost willing to do 40k shopping in the US for Aussies and mail it to you at cost. It's got to be cheaper that way.

UK prices straight from the price list

Looks like there’s no consistency in Oz pricing Underworlds Gnarlwood released today is £65/AUD$160 and Killteam Starter set £65/AUD$120

In the UK, extra tax is paid for products that contain dice, as they count as games, so they cost much more than they would if the dice were omitted.

Which has no relevance to the prices elsewhere? I'll admit I didn't know that but it really doesn't seem relevant.

Yeah. Such a revelation is interesting, sure, but doesn't explain why all three items are the same cost in the UK, but wildly different in Oz.

Theres probably some extra cost associated to ship things there, which GW is not willing to take the hit themselves on clients behalf?

Not sure but sucks for you dudes.

Shipping has never been so expensive like it is today.

This is not correct. VAT is charged at 20% on games, the same as pretty much all other products. VAT would be charged at 20% on a box containing miniatures, cards and a board, even without dice. Certain printed products (like books) have 0% VAT, which is why gamebooks typically don't come with dice (they would then be charged 20% VAT) but there's nothing special about dice or games in this regard. There's no extra tax for dice, so this isn't relevant to the UK price, let alone the Australian one.

EDIT: Removed an extra 'which'.

Yeah that's a bit odd.

For swedes, GW-direct prices are 780 SEK for both the LR. Crusader/Redeemer and the Hekaton.

UK VAT wouldn't apply if the products are going overseas anyway, VAT or equivalent (GST in Oz) would apply at the other end (depending on registration and threshold for European countries).

The ship carrying the cheapest 65 pound box took the shortest route, the ship carrying the middling 65 pound box had to take a long detour, and the ship carrying the expensive 65 pound box was harassed by u-boats and Somali pirates on the way to Australia? Sounds legit.

The 65 pound box volume probably triggers something shipping wise maybe. Again assuming its either something custom's shipping related. Failing that Im not sure what would be the reasonable reason to explain prices differences?

Likely the relative weight and box dimensions. Given shipping containers are fixed volume transports, if you’ve two items, one twice the size of the other, it’s going to affect how many of each you can ship at anyone time.

This is speculation, but semi-informed.

You know Australia isn’t in Europe right? What the hell does does Brexit have to do with it???

Maybe someone with GW shares could ask them why the prices are so distorted in Australia, I imagine it’s shipping and warehousing costs but it is odd how skewed they are.

They must know what they are doing, hence the RoW sales ban for traders that came in 10(?) or so years ago.

That was fun living in a country with no GW presence I can tell you. But on the upside, it did push me into leaving the GW bubble and trying other games, which I otherwise might not have.

There was rumers a few months back that sales in aus have dropped significantly this year and GW was readjusting prices in the future.
I actually didn’t think anything of them until reading here, and rumers out of aus never pick up enough to get good info it seems.

And we know how GW deal with that.
If they sell less and make less profit, the few items they do sell need to make the same amount of profit, so, increase the price so the few whales still buying keep the profit levels the same.

One day I want to actually see some of these mythical Whales people talk about

Got some Votann today to add to my army box. Lots to build before I buy the vehicles and the couple HQ left.
Aiming to have one of everything and 3 infantry blocks. That should be quite a nice diverse set of kits to play with.

The more I look at the kits the more I like them and the sprues revealed are packed with goodies.

I am keen to get my hands on the thunderers and the hearthguard. But it'll have to wait a wee while.


Shame about the Aussie dollarydoo prices. I'm amazed they've never put some kind of better distribution location in for the southern hemisphere.

Australia was paying more way before brexit. That has nothing do with it.
It might have something do with Australia being on the other side of the world though.

Yeah really like the look of everything - I've ordered a few kits to fill out the army set. I'll probably get more around Christmas.

Inflation and logistics strike again! Unless I misread the article, there are only 16 dice in the LoV set rather than the normal 20 for the same price as previous sets. Ouch!
