Gorthaur Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 14 minutes ago, Returning said: I popped in to the local Warhammer shop. I looked at picking up some Witch Aelves but at £35 for 10 notwithstanding them being nice models I think they are over priced especially when the blood coven used to be £60 or less with discounts. They are over priced, i'd rather get Escher and Goliath gangers to bolster my Necromunda stuff instead. Same amount of models and better quality, more options for personalizing . The Witch Aelf kit they all look so similar same pose, and cost way too much. This is what killed the DoK army for me, it could have been my first real jump into AoS but they have the most expensive basic battleline troop I can recall ever seeing. I was really hoping to see the Deepkin, cause they are the only other thing in the near future that might get me to start an AoS army depending on how they look. Unfortunately some bad weather stole away all the excitement from the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The Blood Coven deal is still listed as "out of stock" so hopefully that kit will return. It's basically the daughters "getting started" kit especially since it contains heros, war engine and basic troops. Once out it would likely form the backbone of early faction purchases to build up a good solid core of heroes and warriors. Until its out I'm focusing on building up the rest of the force; heck warlock riders are perhaps one of the cheapest mounted units out at present at £20 for 5 (whereas many others are closer to £30 or more for similar numbers). Meanwhile the new medusa and Khinari are fantastic looking, whilst being more standard for GW prices for semi-large multi-choice 5 unit kits (plus being elite choices you don't need legions of them).

DantePQ Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 @Overread you will still need more witches so while waiting for Blood Coven (and 2 of them is more then enough) you would be safe to buy 1-2 boxes of witches anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Update on this. The new date has been set as 30th June, which means that the originally planned AoS Doubles event may have it's format changed somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turgol Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Random date? I think not! I bet it’s close to release of new starter set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally use the Castle Marina Premier Inn (about 15 minutes walk away), but have had to go for the Nottingham Holiday Inn instead this time as they didn't have any twin rooms.

Melcavuk Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 If I can get the time off work (and if tickets are still available by then) I'll head on down (missed fest due to work) and put a cursory entry into GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
