    GW Pricing Policy is what killed Warhammer.

    Now we have Sigmarines at £30 for 5. I am would be truly stunned if there are enough people willing to pay this much for 5 plastic infantry figures (even if they are on big bases - gasp !!!) for this approach to be any more successful than DeadHammer.

    Shame really.

    Please don't feed the troll, guys. You'll get nowhere with it and just clog up the topic.

    Price isn't the factor, its a factor for some people, but for the customers GW want, the price of a box of models isn't too much right now.

    40K had a very similar pricing structure and sells very well. People are willing to spend the money.

    Good work, those don't looking they're going to disappoint. They're going to fit nicely with my Marauder army. The aesthetic fits very well with the Marauder Horsemen which is nice (and less He-Man than the old
    Marauders).

    Incidentally an army which I bought for the End Times but alas I couldn't spend enough to save WFB 😞. Good job I like AoS then.

    Wildybeast I think it's ok not to like AoS it's just that it's become tedious hearing it from some people in every thread that is vaguely contected to it ( not that I'd have suggested you'd been doing that) also it it is interesting that quite a few people seem to have had their lives ruined by its release despite the fact they seemed to show no interest in WFB beforehand ( again not really yourself though). It's become a bit like the gaming hipster thing with the squats if everyone who claimed to have had a squat army actually had one there would of have been nothing but squats (there wasn't I was there). Similarly if all these people had been buying these vast WFB armies they claim this wouldn't have happened. Yes Big-Mini (GW) does need to take some of the blame but all of the righteous indignation does seem to sound a little hollow in some cases.

    Yeah, those do look pretty nice and I too am impressed to see a non-white skintone, certainly adds a nice bit of variety. They look a lot better than those Wrathmongers/Skullreapers too.

    I need some silver and very light, almost-white, paint for those Bloodreavers.
