Three flyers to be released:
- Space Marine Stormtalon
- Necron Night Scythe
- Ork Bommer
For Fantasy there is an enormous amount of the range being converted to Finecast. Pretty much all the remaining metals for O&G, Dark Elves, Tomb Kings and Lizards are making the transition.
Coupled with this it looks like the USA is having a price rise - which probably means us as well. The numbers quoted are 5% for Finecast and 10-15% for plastic kits in the USA so brace yourselves
Weirdly no prices in White Dwarf...even foe the new releases!!
ReplyDeletemight be time to go out and buy that extra mourn fang box, plus another 10 savage orcs ("can't get enough, can't get enough, NO" to quote super groove) before the price hike... and hope avatars of war or mantic come out with some nice cheap alternatives...
ReplyDeleteEurgggh, more price rises? Good job there are so many alternate manufacturers out there now.
ReplyDeleteNecron and Ork ones look alright, the Space Marine one looks ridiculous. So stubby.
Not enticing me back to "pew pew" 40,000 any time soon by the looks of it.
Is it just me, or is that Space Marine Stormtalon a flying brick? Seriously, the drop pods look more aerodynamic, and they're meant to just fall straight out of the sky.
ReplyDeleteAs for the price rises, the only good thing about them is it gives alternative manufacturers a bit more room to become viable. For instance, those Raging Heroes Blood Vestals are now not only better than GW's Finecast Witch Elves, they're cheaper in metal. And when I do a Warriors of Chaos army, it'll be with the Avatars of War Warriors and the Gamezone Knights.
Good stuff GW, its very sporting of you to give the opposition a chance. The Marquis of Queensbury would be proud.
I'm still amazed that the pictures I took where the first... Uninspiring launch? 1000 internets for me.
ReplyDeleteTheres two hidden gems in this months releases that you will love Hamish. Plastic Savage Orc Big Boss and plastic Goblin Shaman!
No prices in WD due to it being GW price rise month, and no doubt when they went to print they probably had not finalised the rises...
As for the prices, 27-31 quid are being thrown around by online stores so thats the new $94 price point
I for one actually quite like the SM flying brick. I don't think the Marines want something huge and easy to shoot. Something quick and elegant, with lots of pew pew of course. The Necron one just looks like a big C with two I's stick outs of its center. The Ork ones look unsurprising.
ReplyDeleteAs for the price hike... its not like a bought anything from GW in ten years.
