True but I've mostly been watching the Brets/Mechanicum stuff jumping in and out of stock.

I do hope GW are turning a corner and that stocks can keep up

I don't know why, but i've noticed the battle wizard keeps dropping in and out of stock the last couple of days. Not sure if people are cancelling an order and then someone else gets it or something.

I had a feeling it was next week, but we've got gitz incoming:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/pgur3wwq/sunday-preview-get-to-grips-wiv-da-gitz/

YAY! I have zero interest in Gitz but this means one more step toward Soulblight preorders! Just got to wait for AoS to get its next release window then!

Also that's one chunky release - a load of Necromunda AND AoS AND Made to order Empire AND NEW GOTREK BOOK

And again with the dumping of legions of resins. I don't know who they think could afford all that in one go.

That's a sad sack of gak of a launch box compared to Emperor's Children, huh

All cavalry and chariots vs all infantry. Not a huge surprise and the EC one i bet is going to cost a hell of a lot more.

They are really stretching the definition of 'army box' in my opinion. It's nine fething models. And they're goblins.

That army set should belong to the Soulblight with how barebones the contents are and how rattling the sprues will be in the box.

Odd choice to not include the new Doom Diver warmachine, to at least make it have more contents.

Those boxes always have the same discount, so they cannot include more even if they wanted to

Makes me wonder how pricey the individual unit boxes are going to be then! There's only three in this goblin one - wolf riderz, chariots and boss grot.

You're misspelling the word wolves there

It's 2 chariots, 1 cavalry and 1 mounted leader. Like the Krieg box, once you start putting higher priced models into the set, the number of total models comes down. The EC box looks "better" because its basically a boxed set of just infantry (tactical marines) and an infantry leader. There's no cavalry or monster in there to eat up a chunk of cash.

I mean, nobody is forcing GW to make the boxes always have the same discount...
If they wanted to, they could totally make it a better/different deal.
They don't want to though, because they'll sell out either way.

I think it'll be four individual boxes in total, the wolf cavalry seems to be three models per box ("two units of Snarlpack Cavalry")? Not that this changes much :p

What a world, where wolf riderz only come with one more model per box than chariots!

These aren't the base version Wolf Riders(which have been out for a while and come 5 to a box), these are the elite version on bigger wolves.

It appears that the spearhead is teased in the product photo - 2 of the three wolf units, 2 chariots, plus the wolf underwprlds warband.

1 army box + 1 spearhead is looking like a good way to kickstart an army.

I feel the same with the new bones as well. Too many barrow guard if you get two army boxes.

Too many army books, too.

New Clawlord for this year's event mini

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/bq8wldj5/this-years-warhammer-event-miniatures-revealed/

This weeks prices:


Not unexpected but sadly the army set prices got increased to be the same as the latest 40k one.

Little bit on the new Gitmob playstyle:

I'm not sure he's meaningfully distinct from any other clawlord mini, but certainly a very nice sculpt in a vaccum

Anniversery and promo models shouldn't be meaninglyfully distinct from generally available versions, but cosmetic variations, otherwise it becomes problematic.

Clawlord looks like he forgot to add a grip to his claw.

It's part of the gauntlet strapped to him. Not much different from the Eshin fighting claws that were held on with cloth wraps.

So if its the same price as the other Spearheads (and we have no reason to believe it won't be) thats 65€ more to swap the Underworlds warband for Droggz da Sunchompa and getting the codex and cards.

So only a tiny discount on the army set and as long as you have a use for the Warband the army set is probably not worth it.

The only reason this makes sense that I can see is if we have another price increase coming soon so the Spearhead will already have an increased price when it launches

Last year GW did it's price increase on June 10th 2024.

The year before it was on March 6th 2023.

Maybe this year we are back to a March price increase.

So we should keep our eyes open for a GW official announcement in February then about a price increase.

Adepticon this year is March 26th to March 30th, 2025. Interesting if the price increase happens before the next wave of previews hits. Oh well it had to happen sometime but damn was hoping some new releases would beat the annual price shift.

The presence of the Battletome and cards is, GW price-wise, a big thing. Also, you get the Battletome early and it is a collector's edition (YMMV on both of those, obviously).

What I would be more worried about is that those Underworlds doggos may _only_ be available in the Spearhead set, much like the Savagers of the Darkoath Spearhead. That is... actually a big problem for those of us who already have everything else and were not really excited about buying more of the same to get one unit. I mean, yes, you can always use more Marauders and Fellriders, but I really do not want them right now and just want to give the Spearhead a whirl...

At least nothing was locked behind the Ironjawz Spearhead...
