Hello guys,

Just this last weekend I have decided to visit my local GW store once more. I haven't been there since the pandemic started. So I browsed the stuff on the shelves and saw the Rhino of the sisters. INTRIGUED, I picked it up only to be shocked by the price tag:

45 Euros for a common Rhino?!

It's even more expensive than a LRBT (42.50 Euros)!
I just walked away in disgust.

It does have an entire extra sprue in it, compared to the standard Rhino.

Seems this costs £7.50/10 euros.

So it contains more than "a common Rhino", at least in fancy bits, although barely more in terms of actual plastics.

Also GW up's the price of new SKU's all the time. If GW repacks the rhino for marines with new box art it would be going up as well. That's why asking for new models to replace old ones(looking at you IG...) is risky You go from 22.5£ for 10 to 32.5£(or more) for 10 when that happens.

LRBT if repacked with no new contents added would likely cost 50-60 euro's now...

On flipside you can at least spice it up 3 or so rhino's from 1 kit so 1 sister rhino and 2 marine rhino gives you 3 sister rhino's.

It's a pink tax

But yeah, the old Immolator and Rhino kits were $45, the new Rhino is $60 and new Immolator is $75. Considering they just did a repackage of the Rhino like a year ago, it's kind of silly.


All of my Rhinos are just regular Rhinos, which is how it used to be done before everything got extra frills on it, since the extra sprue that came with the Immolator and Exorcist came with a nametag defilade commander bit and a helmeted and unhelmeted head. Given that I have "enough" Immolators and Exorcists, I have these bits for days so I can keep buying the regular rhino kit.

Guardsmen, hear me! Cadia may lie in ruin, but her proud people do not! For each brother and sister who gave their lives to Him as martyrs, we will reap a vengeance fiftyfold! Cadia may be no more, but will never be forgotten; our foes shall tremble in fear at the name, for their doom shall come from the barrels of Cadian guns, fired by Cadian hands! Forward, for vengeance and retribution, in His name and the names of our fallen comrades!

As a new sisters player I wanted my rhinos to be visually different from my others for my chaos marines, since who really enjoys painting the same rhino chassis repeatedly?

What I did was find some decent quality 1st/2nd ed deimos rhinos 2nd hand, got 2 for a little over £20.

They're a touch smaller but sisters are smaller than marinea and nobody I play with minds, they appreciate the more unique appearance.

These are the new GW prices. 10 man squads of power armor dudes kits were 30 euro and SM rhino was 29 until 2018, now they're 40ish and the new battle sisters 10 man squad is 45, just like their rhino.

Basically small characters are 30, infantry regular squads are 45, 5 man elites also 45, small vehicles (like buggies) are 40, small tanks like rhinos are 45 and more deadly tanks are 60-75.

There is quite a lot of bling on the SoB Rhino sprue, so it should be pretty easy to get one SoB Rhino and one or two Marine Rhinos and spread the bling among them.

No it doesn't. The Rhino kit comes with the regular Marine accessory sprue and the parts to make a Razorback. The SoB Rhino loses both those sprues, gains the Sisters accessory sprue in its place, and jumps in price by 163%.

Yeah blinging up 2 more from 1 ain't problem if you don't insist on every rhino having exact same bling.3 more(besides the first rhino you get from kit itself) might get bit thin.

It's a very nice (albeit small) upgrade sprue, crammed with stuff, but the price is ridiculous

If you manage to get some of the old Immolator kit, you'll get the best looking Sisters of Battle rhinos. They are slightly taller than a normal rhino, but looks SO GOOD compared to the new rhino or the marine rhino.

Ah yes, i forgot they merged the Rhino and Razorback kits, with a price increase to boot.

Sadly old immolators seem to cost as much as the new ones on the 2nd hand market atm. Then again almost all 2nd hand models are weirdly pricey right now.

Increased by 163%? Just what the heck are the prices from a SM and SOB Rhino in Emuland?

UK has the following listed - and, yes, I know there is variance across different countries.

SM - £27.50
SOB - £35

Difference is £7.50, which is 27.2% - which is significant, especially for 1 sprue less in the box.

Is a SOB Rhino really nearly three times the price of a SM in your region, HBMC?

Well not 3(that would be 300%). Australia has 55 vs 98. New zealand has it even worse. Luckily most of world isn't that bad.

HBMC stated "jumping in price by 163%" - i.e., the price increased by 163% from the original cost, which would leave it at 263% of said original cost.

Increased by 63%, or "is now 163% of the price" - either would be valid.

SM @ 55, SOB @ 98, so a difference of 43, which would be an increase of 78% from the SM box - which, for what appears to be a sprue fewer than previously, is nuts.

It it the tragic humour of the sisters release. Players waited decades for affordable plastic to replace expensive metal, only to discover that the metal army would have been cheaper all along.

I knew someone wouldn't be able to figure out what I meant.

It it were a 200%+ change, I would have said so.

Well it's not just sprues but release year. Repackage rhino now with new box art as only difference and you would be looking at more like 100$ in that currency as minimum.
