lets be clear, its 35 bucks for a single inch and a half tall infantry model, not a regiment box or war machine its not unreasonable to think thats too much

Xarbala posted:You gotta charge more to make your heroes feel special In all fairness the outlay per hero is likely to be at least 25% of a unit box and they'll be selling at most 1 hero per 2 unit boxes. You can't really compare them as 28mm to 28mm figures directly. Whether the current premium accurately reflects the production and logistics cost is another matter though.

The hero model performs better in battle though so it is worth more money.

You can't compare it to a regiment but you can compare it to other examples. They won't necessarily all be this price going forward but I'm willing to bet that pricing scheme is because the most expensive of them would normally have sold for 35 dollars but they want the four models to be at the same price point since they're all part of the same release.

Played Seraphon against a friends Slaanesh demon force. Jesus, Seraphon almost feel unfair against chaos demons; so many buffs. A unit of Chameleon Skinks pretty much one rounded an Exalted Greater Demon. Fun game though, pretty close.

Zombies are getting ether a repacked set or a new one can't tell. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Deadwalkers-Zombies-2018 Also little armies featuring the heralds. (Minus Order for some reason.) Don't imagine these are actual deals (I can't tell because these are not up yet on the American or Canadian sites.) https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Marakarrs-Warband-of-the-Blood-Sky-2018 https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Snazzgars-Portents-of-the-Waagh-2018 https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Nighthaunt-Spirit-Host-2018 MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Feb 3, 2018 |

that is unfortunately a repack of the same old zombies. No new Death units is a bit of a bummer but I’ve heard it suggested that Legions of Nagash is a fix to the grand alliance that might have been turned around faster than their 2-3 year timeframe for new model releases.

Yeah, LoN feels like "poo poo, people are getting too impatient for a real Death release". And given what we've seen of it, it should be enough to hold over. I'm seriously tempted by the Grand Legion of Nagash stuff because elite tough skelly army seems exactly my sorta poo poo.

Edit - Played WHFB back in 5th, all this new stuff is tempting me back, but I can't decide between AoS or 40k.

I really hope this is just AoS 2nd with the 40k 8th rules now they have refined the 1st Ed AoS rules. Shooting out of combat into combat is straight up dumb.

Lord_Hambrose posted:I really hope this is just AoS 2nd with the 40k 8th rules now they have refined the 1st Ed AoS rules. We are doing some little houseruels to our game that is pretty much including some of the 40k rules. (Character targeting, Heroic Intervention, Charging giving you the first attack and no shooting out of combat into other combats.) Our current issue is deciding a break off point for Character targeting. There are much less high wound models in AoS so the 10 wound break off point does not work as well. Currently I am debating between 7 or 8 wounds as the break off point were they become vulnerable to fire.

Their stats have not been updated yet for the Battletome. Will bet they will lose the ability to be summoned and otherwise remain the same. Also to ask this question again. For a rule similar to the 40k character targeting rules which would be a better cutoff point. 7 Wounds or 8 Wounds. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Feb 4, 2018 |

They aren’t bullshit but they are still incredibly hard to kill in casual play. But their damage output is kind of low for a 400 point model. And ranged mortal wounds can do a number on them.

There's quite a few characters with 7 (mostly the generic big beatstick heroes, Ironjawz Megaboss, Seraphon Oldblood etc) but 8 is reserved for the properly big heroes like ogre tyrants, which seems like the level where they're tough enough without the protection.

Just to say when I say the cutoff point. The cutoff being 7 is 7 and lower being safe, while the cutoff being 8 means 8 and below are safe. Taking a look myself I am leaning 8 from the Heroes I see. Pretty much all 8 wound characters are those I could see being protected from the chaos of battle with one notable exception This guy.  He kind of looks like a fire magnet.

ive know quite a few people who showed initial interest in gw games but were turned off completely by the expense. more customers paying less is a better business model than less customers paying more, usually. but hey, theres enough people willing to pay what gw wants to keep food on their table so good for them
