If the boxes end up being 40€, it does not seem too expensive for 6 Land Raiders (taking into account the bigger scale).

Sounds pretty pricey to me

Just hoping they simply stay at the same price as AI

Well I am going to be very baffled if you can't make regular Land Raiders from that box.

It just makes me sad when I remember how much stuff came on the sprues for old Epic 'Space Marine' 2nd edition. I recall boxes like this-- 120 marines and 12 Land Raiders...

Yeah? how much was an Epic Baneblade back in the day for example (they are roughly the same size due to the difference in scale)?

Hard to compare I guess as they were metal.

Single Metal Baneblade would be 17€ today (including inflation), the plastic boxes would be 15€ today

"Each box contains six miniature Land Raiders in the Explorator configuration"

If LI boxes are 40 euros, that'd make 20 per plastic Baneblade IIRC.

Didn't they confirm (possibly via Twitter) that Kratos & Baneblades are sold in boxes of four?

Edit: if I was going to speculate... the AT Cerastus kits might be an indication here. The Lancers were £27.50 for a single sprue of two knights, while the Acheron & Castigator types were £45 for duplicate sprues that built four knights.

I could definitely see LI super-heavies being sold in a similar way to the latter.

I just noticed that those are MkII/MKIII in the cupolas. Until now it has only been MKVI and even the Spartans only have MKVI.

Unlikely but maybe this is the first kit from a third wave that will also come with MKIII infantry?

Yes, 4 to a box.

That makes them cheaper nowadays then (10 €/SHT vehicle). But since it is plastic (way better details and sculpt though), comparison for some people is pointless.

So it seems Epic was pricey back then too. I've been playing for 20+ years but bought almost everything second hand (and later 3d print), hence my lack of knowledge regarding pricing.

Is that transfers on the Land Raiders? Or are the markings painted on one that's been duplicated in photoshop?

Old Epic (certainly 2nd edition) was definitely one of the cheaper GW games to play back in the day. It was one of the main reasons my mates and I played it, a couple of the main boxsets, expansions and a few blisters of something fancy and you could cover a tabletop.

I suspect this new game is going to be aimed at those same customers now grown up and looking for a nostalgia buy - and it will be priced accordingly. It's a shame in a way it won't fulfil the same role in the product range as an introductory game (that is cheaper) but at least there are viable cheaper alternatives in some of the skirmish games these days.

The Proteus has a Gunner in Mk2, the Spartan one in Mk6...

Where did they confirm 4 Baneblades to a box?

the WarCom Article shows pics of 2 and does not mention the number per box

One can only hope. GW would certainly have an easier time getting money from me if there were Mk.III Marines.

I don't have much use for the Land Raiders, which I really like, if there's no infantry to go with them.

The new ones are 1/4 the size of the 40k models. The old ones are quite a bit smaller than that, as well as significantly less detailed.

Reasonable price, higher quality, or greater quantity. Pick two.

GW only picked one tho? And that only for vehicles. They picked none for infantry.

I would argue that for Baneblades, a box of four is a greater quantity than a blister pack of one. Others are free to disagree!

Also accounting for inflation the cost for that kit is likely to be pretty much equal, but you get larger more detailed models.

It really depends. Plastic was dirt cheap (adjust the plastic prices for inflation and you'll see they come off at about 15 euros per box), metals were less so, and then when they changed to Epic: Armageddon, they more than doubled.

I'm surprised they had this many units left to reveal while the might be plastic armiger and mechanicum knights are no where to be seen.

This is probably the biggest investment GW has put into a launch side games for Specialist team, even more than side games from the warhammer team.

I can easily se the plastic knights being held for a later bigger expansion.

So booster expansion after launch to get keep people interested (now perhaps merged into the main release with the Great Slaughter), then something closer to 9 months a year out as an excuse to start collecting a new army to have more of a tail to the sales to initial customers.

I'm not sure why they're doing this. Most of us already have as many as we wanted so it's only the newcomers who are being denied these kits. At least some of the decal sheets are still available.

The worst part about this delay is that we're waiting on two games instead of just one; nothing on the Titanicus front whatsoever.

Yeah, I'm not expecting anything new for AT in the short term (maybe new Titans down the road as a dual release), but it'd be nice if the kits were available...

Those OOP knights already have rule unless they also pack them long with Dominus knights now

What is the deal with Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titans and Knights etc?

I cant seem to find any and was thinking about buying a few to get started(never played/bought AT)

Most likely just removed for repackaging.
