TeddyMadeMeDoIt Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Have we heard anything about the price of this set? I'd hazard a guess at £90/95 like other sets, anyone hope it may be less?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard, but £90 was my guess which would put it in a similar bracket to comparable sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the conversion rate plus the horrible mark up for being in Australia ☹️ I would expect it to be similar price to eg the Vigilus sets that came out - tooth and claw, wake the dead.

Yeah, the "Australia tax" (and New Zealand) is brutal. Thankfully I'll be in the UK in January, might have to bring a spare suitcase or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you will be in the U.K. But if near Manchester then a trip to element games in Stockport (few mins on train) or Fan Boy 3 in Manchester will be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiyuren Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 If it's comparable to blightwar, it'll be about $300 in New Zealand. So slightly cheaper than two start collecting boxes. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: when I say tax I'm not referring to an actual tax but calling our price hike a tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Bit of a weird theory, but what if the harp's ruleset is based of Orpheus and his 'duel' with Cerberus. For those who don't know, Cerberus is a monstrous three headed hound in the underworld who was lulled to sleep by Orpheus - a man searching for his lost love - with a lyre. Perhaps the harp will have an ability to mimic this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the harp will have an ability to mimic this. I like your thinking, and a great idea If it did, it would be truly annoying as in the original realm of Chaos : Lost and the Damned, the spells of slaanesh were a thing for a khorne army to be fearful of, and in return, to a magic heavy army, a khorne army was equally something truly frightening. The bloodthirster was obscene by todays standards. If they're looking to somehow mimic that, the dynamic between khorne and Slaanesh and the inevitable Tzeentch vs Nurgle will get a whole lot more interesting as a result. I think if would be very cool if the army had rules where the effect was magnified if used against a khorne army and khorne got stuff who's effect was magnified if used against the slaanesh keyword. It would be very thematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I think we need to start reading up on Greek mythology! Cerberus and Orpheus, the Bull of Beasts of Chaos - Melusai - Morathi - its clear someone in GW is reading up on it! Oh gods this means one of the dwarven factions is going to get a walking statue titan unit! And ooh this might do well for the Lions of Highelves!

Sleboda Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 There was a draft Chaos Dwarf book back in the Perinen (sp?) days. It had golems animated by different precious rocks. Too bad it never got into production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope she can tag-team with The Masque; one plays, the other dances, everybody dies. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 She could do many things from buffing to debuffing to both. She could also be missdirectional, eg a targeted unit must take the shortest distance toward her (not ignoring dangerous terrain, but obeying impassable terrain); even if that unit is well outside of close combat range (that would seriously mess up enemy movement!)

One had the description that the unit/model was spending it's time dancing to music only it could hear Other spells halved characteristics of enemy units or made Slaanesh units immune to psychology effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleb Daark Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 oh how I laughed (and my opponent's jaw dropped when a warriors unit was revealed with bolt guns... Finally the ten man goblin stone thrower would meet it's match! I just want GW to start doing more reveals now in tandem with the Vigilus campaign.

Enoby Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 The one thing I do worry about is that we'll get a boring ability on the herald (like -1 bravery). For such a cool model, it needs fitting and interesting abilities. I would really like siren-like abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
