No, I agree. I just see GW get constant poo poo, and as far as I can tell they're no worse in product quality and generally Making poo poo I Wanna Buy than any other companies out there in the same industry.

gripping beast is my platonic ideal of wargame company that i like to give money to

dunno if i really want to get into why i think gw is still bad here, it will just devolve into the usual suspects trotting out the same old arguments and hot takes on both sides. there is a death thread buried somewhere in this subforum that would be a better place for it

I'm pretty disappointed that all four of those new malign portents heroes are $35 each. I really wanted to paint a couple of them but it tough to justify that cost.

sorry but that pricing scheme is gonna be the new normal going forward

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

Z the IVth posted:

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.

wyrd manages to price their plastic multipart monopose 32mm heroic scale single figure packs for around 11 bucks and still keep the lights on. but of course im sure gw is being totally fair with their pricing

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

He does not look small. The guy himself is like three times of one the normal elves. And that is ignoring the Wave Cloak and everything else about him.



he looks to be on par sizewise with the mortarch kit, which is already absurdly priced at 80 bucks. slapping an extra 30 bucks ontop of that price doesnt seem justified outside of horrible impulsive nerds will pay it

The insight thats sticking with me from the review is the observation that AoS is closer to Conan than it is LotR.

This is less the low fantasy warfare of the past, and more akin to almost Conan-like works with entirely new concepts to them.

except the hyborian age is the quintessential low fantasy setting, so this man seems confused
