>Decided to look at GWs site again. >Notice the new combat patrol for space marines >160$ for 13 miniatures. Jesus fuck games workshop how greedy can you get? I mean I have seen people selling the space marine half of the leviathan set for less way less than that.

>>1034 >its also only a 13% discount compared to the individual prices >the 10th edition starter box is missing a terminator librarian but costs 33% less and comes with carapacy boys

The company heroes look cool, though. Might be my first space marines.

>>1037 Neat. What chapter are you going to paint them as? Also see if you cant find them second hand or something first. Most resellers have a slight discount on this stuff.

>>1038 Yeah I've used cmogames ($55 for these) and amazon for most buys, I'm not sure what to paint them as yet. I like the flavor of salamanders and the new detachment seems nice, but the heavy saturation in their green is something that I'll probably tone down. Slightly less saturated imperial fists like the image would look cool too, and their detachment is also something I could jive with. I'm still assembling votann to paint so it's something that'll be rent free in my head for a while.

>>1039 >Salamanders I was thinking of painting those. They got a nice colour scheme that is slightly more complicated than what i have already painted. It is either those or the Lamentors but those guys are going to be a pain to paint.

If those writs of trade have the emperors blood on them and the tyranids have eaten at least one rogue trader vessel. Does that mean that the Tyranids have the emperors DNA? I wonder what they are doing with that.

>>1049 I would probably think that rogue traders wouldn't stick around with their flagship long enough for them to be locked into a system by the warp disruption. And hive fleets travel by conventional space so it can kind of be predicted for the flagships to avoid. Dunno how they do space combat but i doubt the bugs bother to board ships because of the biomass not being easily recoverable.

>>1050 I mean they dont really board ships in the traditional manner. They swallow them and then fill them up with little parasites that eat anyone on board. Its pretty horiffic. I don't know if they digest the entire ship though or just poop out the non organic bits. If they just poop it out after eating the crew then they might not have eaten the writ of trade, Which is a massive relief for the imperium. God emperor only knows what kinda shit they can make if they ever got a sample of his DNA.

>>1051 Its odd, because one account of tyranid invasion I heard said that the biojuice also extracts minerals, but another rumor says that the leagues of votann allow tyranids to harvest a world so they can scoop up the leftover minerals. The organic semblance of most tyranids would lend credence that they have little use for scavenged metals, so yeah the writ might be untouched if they did ever get caught out in an invaded star system.

>85 points jump pack captain >85 points jump pack intercessors

>>1055 Huh? Was there a balance change recently or something?

>>1056 It was a hidden release predating the space marine launch, their army roster app also reflects the changes. It's exclusively for marines from what I see.

>>1057 Sometimes looking at the points values I cannot help but wonder how one is supposed to fill up an army without going bankrupt.

>>1060 It's probably some kind of trade law thing from brexit that the company is too lazy to fix. I ordered two brushes from jackson's art and saw a similar disproportionate price, $12 became $23 for the US portal. Windsor & Newton gouache is even worse, a pack of 6 went from $24 to $60 and they explicitly do not allow purchases at the UK prices of that brand in america, citing trade agreements.

>>1061 >12 to 23 >24 to 60 Jesus fucking Christ what a spike. I don't know what trade law would be doing that but it sounds like they should just get rid of it.

Christmas boxes announced, likely $210 GW price.

>>1067 >Imperial guard 2 tanks and 25 guardsmen would be a pretty good deal at like 150$. At 210$ it seems way too steep a price. >Votann 12 models, a troop transport and a buggy? for 210$? Way over prices. I am counting those floating robots as being part of the Odin dwarf. >Tyranids That is like 32 models with 2 of them being big centerpiece models. Seems like the best deal out of all of them. Still not sure if its worth 210$. >Space marines Well if you want assault marines this box would be fantastic. For anyone else this is hilariously overpriced. It should be like 140$ tops not 210$. >Orks Cool squig riders but only like 10 boys in it. I am not even sure this would be worth 100$. Even with the big chariot. >>1068 Angron is 170$ on the GW website for some reason so getting him and a bunch of berserkers for 210$ might seem good, If you are operating on GW logic. Personally I cant see it being worth it. Overall I would say most of this stuff is at least 50-60$ too much. I should mention I don't know the GW prices off the top of my head so if any of this is technically saving money I wouldn't know.

>>1069 Yeah, in terms of having fun painting, it's kind of shit. I can break down votann since I have a few. In GW Prices: >$115 big truck ($105 non-GW) >$65 small truck ($50 when I got one on amazon) >$60x2 for football men ($50x2, I got 1x on amazon) >$45 bath robes ($38ish) >$40 footballer with shield ($35ish, the GW day sculpt makes this redundant and is the character you want 2x the least) The price of the box is only rumors but if its true and slumps to $185 elsewhere then it's pretty okay for play, but if the GW price is $240 then no shot. If I'm not saving that much money I think I'm passing on it and getting a 3d printer, the elegoo mars 4 ultra is $285 and might go lower. Though if the box is sub-$200 elsewhere I can see players buying it 2x since the army has low unit variety and skew lists with most of these are common.

>>1071 >>$115 big truck ($105 non-GW) You ever feel like GW is just fucking with us?

>>1074 They would never :^) I just pretend they're a toy company with no clue on anything besides fixing prices in their favor.

>>1067 >>1069 GW prices got released, $230 £140 €180.

>>1085 >Look on site for my FLGS >They have all the christmas boxes for 1599kr (that is about 130$) >I still can't afford it >Even if i did I don't buy GW anymore. It does say the price is subject to change but oh well. The imperial guard box at 135$ is actually a pretty good price but I am broke as fuck right now.

>>1091 Its 100% sold out in hours here, the world eaters box in 3 minutes. Discounted prices are a hair under $200, but meh I guess I should get a black friday airbrush booth and extractor fan as prep for resin printer.

The admech combat patrol has the parts of the army I like, but it sucks knowing I don't like the rest of the army.

>>1097 I don't know how to feel about admech models. They are cool sure but they look like such a pain to paint.

I feel like picrel is sent to die so GW can say "guys we tried giving you fantasy and you don't want it, go buy age of marinegmar"

>>1206 I wish it would die again. They are already watering down the lore. Unfortunately GW fans are the biggest paypigs on the planet.

>>1207 classic case of monkey paw

Would any lurkers here know of anyone selling Eldar models that are >Good looking >Physical >relatively cheap(one box of 40-50$ giving you like 15-20 dudes) I want to buy them. I don't have a 3d printer so don't bother recommending that.

>>1206 Most people I know buying this are guys who got into the hobby after fantasy died and who just want the old models because they missed out on them back in the day (Plus hype from Total Warhammer) At least anecdotally I've heard "I wanted to play Dwarves, but not the stupid gimmick dwarves from AoS."

From a game of grimdark future >Roll 3 6s on a rending attack >Second part of assault >Charge the now downed marine >When charging over dangerous terrain I roll a 1 and take a wound >Fail my roll after and die. Extreme luck followed by immediate death. I still won the game but like what the fuck happened here.

>>318 Where should i start to learn about the lore of fantasy and 40k? I rather books and not videos or audiobooks

>>1207 In what way they are watering it down ?

>>1235 The new brettonnia novel proudly features a female pegasus rider on the cover. Despite the fact that in lore women aren't allowed to be knights. It does have a line about 1/10000 knights SECRETLY being a woman but the keyword here is SECRETLY. The new one just has her being a knight openly. >>1234 If you want books then what you want is Gotrek and Felix. A fantastic series of books that really shows you what a terrible place the warhammer fantasy world is. It also gives you the basics on the empire, taxes, dwarfs, slayers and how the forests are just filled with beastmen and mutants.
