What is the thinking on price? Seems like a great set, amazing that the hardback rulebook is in it too Most likely £95 like Dark Imperium. Almost exactly the same contents wise and model count wise. It looks amazing, I can’t wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickybluetoffee Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 So in the starter set there’s a Chainrasp champion model and a guy with a standard (well 3-pronged brazier). No rules for the brazier on the warscroll though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the guy in red circle is the leader and the blue circled guy maybe get rules in the battletome I think the warscrolls in the soul wars box are only snippets of the real one like the primaris ones of the dark imperium box and the ones in the codex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morovir Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think that the one in the blue circle is just the alternate build for the champion, like in the old starter set with the Bloodreaver Chieftain, with the champion specific pieces being separate from the rest of the models, which are clearly two duplicate sets.

LLV Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 £95 for starter £45 for spells £20 for ghb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drofnum Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 So for USD: $160 for starter $75 for spells $35 for ghb I think thats right with GW conversion prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 190USD is high - Canadian prices are usually exactly double in CDN dollars the UK price in pounds, and USD prices are lower than that.

Melcavuk Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 160usd. Following dark imperium pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following dark imperium pricing I thought I saw Dark Imperium listed at 190 on GW's page, but I looked again and you are right. It probably changed regions without me noticing though, seems to happen to me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyshadow Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The box set is absolutely gorgeous. With that huge hardcover book and two awesome armies there is nothing wrong with that asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which likely indicates that it was just pulled off sprue and is on a different sprue. Or is merely two sprues, with one spot for a “not leader”. (And it isn’t called out on the Warscroll.) The “Leader” just happens to be both a leader and standard bearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenbits Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Although I was dissapointed by the late release date (was hoping for 16th or23rd), it at least means it'll be after payday No need to feel guilty about buying both hardcover rulebook and GHB... altho I'll probably buy the ghb dgitally. Too many books in my shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherJosh Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It would be really cool if the Core Rulebook was available as an interactive iBook like the 40k one. (be nice for the GHB as well ... but that is probably pressing my luck ... as they only did that for the 2016 Edition.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the one in blue could be a normal one but as I mentioned above most of the primaris marines in the dark imperium box has different warscrolls in the starterbox and the codex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erasercrumbs Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Not at all a fan of the art on the core rulebook. No sweeping vistas of battle, just an expressionless Stormcast with blue hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I kinda like having more clean covers on the core rulebook. Hell, I'd be fine with just the logo and some fancy colouring (like the blue-black "smoke" they got going on in some of their reveals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That character looks like one of the Stormcast from tribal groups, they mentioned that in one of the reveals as I recall. And the model is visually female. Though the armor design is cruddy. The concave area in the middle of the chest makes for poor armor design and would be less able to resist crushing blows and be a sword redirection if it lands towards the middle of the chest, directing a blade directly towards the center of the chest to the excellent aim of piercing the heart or possibly end up breaking the breastbone with a strong enough blow to the chest, which would crack the sternum and cause instant death by rupturing the heart. Not saying that it isn’t great high fantasy ... but the Brightshield model from Shadespire has better designed armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdued can be nice, especially if it's something symbolic of the setting. The core 40k book is an example of this. But the whole 'bemused Starbucks barista' thing isn't to my liking.
