Unbound, What GW Wants You to Buy

[DrBored]

Has anyone else seen this crap?

Big fat armies with little descriptions for... whatever.

RIGHT THERE, THERE'S A SAIM-HANN ARMY, AND THE DESCRIPTION EVEN SAYS TO DENY YOUR OPPONENT EVERY OBJECTIVE.

Wow. Just wow. A whole line of Space Marine tanks for 800 USD?
An otherwise legal army of Tau that just has an extra Hammerhead and Sunshark?

I mean, at least with this, it seems like GW is making the price of a full army really transparent. You can quickly see what you get with these bundles and how much it'll cost you to get all of it in one shot. Kind of telling. A lot of people outside the hobby would gawk at such prices and wonder if we're sane at all.

I'm just amazed, as each description says to 'unlimit' yourself from any restraints, only to put forward.. well... things that aren't really all that great? Special? Ingenious?

I dunno. What do you guys think of this development?

How dare they try to sell stuff. When will Plcs stop chasing profits? Will this madness never end?

[Caitsidhe]

What do I think? I think for a company that doesn't make competitive rules, its marketing strategy seems aimed at competitive players.

I think I just threw up a bit.....

I guess now we know the abusive aspects of the game are a feature not a glitch

Hey, I'm just happy they started giving discounts on bundles. (Not that I verified the prices on these.) I really don't think you need to read too much into these "Unbound" bundles, web bundles are easy for them to make. It's like that entire Space Marine Chapter they put together a while back. Something for the web team to do when they are bored.

tbh, iv always wanted to play a "pure canoptek" army, but id rather they did it properly and make up proper troops and hq choice ect for it, the bundle doesnt really appeal to me.

What's funny is I already own a canoptek army. Every model but the 20 immortals are robot bugs!! I think I might have a vid of it on YouTube.

Fixed it for ya

I was really hoping GW would throw something Orky up there that would hint at new codex configurations..

****ing hell people, every one of those armies is thematic and consistent with the armies themes.

'GW are letting me field even more of a thematic Saim Hann army than before, those money grubbing barstuds!'
