So it's seems that Leviathan is going to be £150. In a world where gw is increasing prices I'm ok with this. There are 10 more minis in this box than Indomitus, three less filler minis (2 rippers and the terminator thing Vs 6 scarabs) and more large scale minis. Obviously I'd love for the price to be lower but I don't think the value is too bad.

It might be a little bit more, we got the 150 from their terms and conditions listing the value for the prize draws, offhand i don't know if VAT is included in that.

Well looks like I spoke too soon: https://www.wargamer.com/warhammer-40k/10th-edition-gameplay-demo

I had read a few comments saying (and I don't know if it was a hope rather than based on any actual rumours?) GW might finally have looked at the likes of One Page Rules and tried to make something more streamlined and quick to reference and play. These seem more like a .1 revision of the previous rules, is that correct?
Asking as someone who hasn't played since 6th edition and is completely out of the loop!

To me it seems like that they are keeping what worked well (in their opinion) in 8th/9th and improved on those concepts and only explore new rules for stuff they felt wasn't working well.

Not the worst way to go forward in my opinion, but of course the lynchpin of such an approach is their ability to analyze of what is going well. But, to be fair, they quite improved in that regard in the last one or two years.

For the most part, core rules were working well, it's the codices which cause most issues in 9th.

It's:

2 combat patrols or equivalent £190 (£95 each)
Full rulebook £42.50
Crusade book £22.50
Card deck/chapter approved £19

We know the nids side has extra:
11 neurogaunts
Neurotyrant
Screamer killer

Which I'll take a collective blind stab in the dark at ~ £80 rrp

The marines "extras" seem to be:
the apothecary
dread
5 flamer dudes as a guess

Again blind stab in the dark at ~£75 rrp

So getting on for £400 of realtive value for £150 is nothing short of a steal. Even against indomitus as above it has the mission cards and a crusade expansion included, so excluding model counts and price rises it'd be a good deal in direct comparison.

If it is $250 USD, than £150 mostly fits, though the exchange rate seems to be going in the wrong direction. The stupid $1.6 per £1 that a lot of things are priced at would translate to $240, not 250.

They did that. Twice. No one bought them.

Edit: And yes, that sort of thing is what I meant by "physical objectives".

If you put £150 of product into your cart and then add the same products in the US version, it comes out to $250 exactly. Did it yesterday.

Partly because you can't stand on them.

I even almost said that, lol.

For previous competitions the given GBP value has included VAT. For example Sisters squad runner up prizes were listed at £35 each in the T&Cs, and released with that as the RRP.

I was going to say the same.

And also add that now you can't stand on them, I'm interested in GW putting out faction specific or terrain specific sets for me to buy. Which I'll then decide are too expensive and convert my own.

Seven minutes to AoS. Now is the time to make a cuppa.

Oh good I messed up the time zones. Time to reschedule lunch for the second time today.

It's live!

It is time!

Oh now those Knights I really like!

I had the problem yesterday with WarCom but it looks like allowing their cookies solved it.

I’d say the proportions on those is about perfect.

Really really blown away.

Not show book. Show models.

I like only the one with the flail. Just like with their infantry shown there is nothing exciting for me there.

The marginalia snail on human legs with a unicorn horn tho

I continue to be underwhelmed by the redesign for Cities.

Nice butt flap!

Very nice model.

New hero for Fyreslayers, really?

Wow. A good looking fyreslayer

Nurgle Knight is superb. Lovely redo of one of my favourite Chaos models.

Agreed 100%

Incredible model. Much nicer glow up than the new chaos lord on daemonic steed

Yay Gobbo! Fantastic model, and one I’d actually paint.

Getting the Nurgle Lord and the Gobbo for sure.

Flying squigs!

Eh. They just recycled the squig skull from the scaremonger and added some flying squigs. Feels more like a cool conversion rather than a new model
