That will be a good army to reuse your old models. Gloomspite are clearly not just a repackaging but rather a brand new army with new prices. Wow now someone is salty. I have purchased 3k points of Moonclan in the last 3 months I know this hobby aint cheap. I was misinformed and thought they just doubled the price of Hoppers as they were 26€ for 5 and I thought we were going to be paying 40€ for the same ammount of hoppers from now on. As it seems I was wrong and its actually a better price now with 10 for 40€. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabotage! Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I imagine the hoppers, at what is very likely 60 USD will be 10 to a box. The original picture showed 10 of them present, and only when GW showed the alternate build were 5 pictured. They are a cavalry model, but by the looks of it be about half the size of anything riding a horse-shaped creature. If they are only five to a box the price is pretty steep. The rest of the prices seem pretty fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Troggherds and spider riders count me in. The spider riders are one of the first models I ever painted. I used it for DnD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Clio Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Someone was talking about reposing the spiders legs earlier so I tried a couple. Pretty easy to do and the results are dramatic. So much more dynamic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Large Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Let’s be fair dual kit or not, 5 Squig Hoppers going from £15 to potentially £30, is pretty steep regardless. I’m going to get some anyway because... well just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put some rocks to make them enter and don't open so much the legs. Just a bit open they look a ton better so I guess we have to open just a bit or put them like stand up or something to make them inside the base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just snipped the legs at one of the joints and used green stuff on one, then just glue on the other. It’s really one of the easier conversions I’ve ever done. I was pleasantly surprised.

That's nice to here, I've always like the Spider riders, but the leg posing on the spiders has always kept me from investing. I may have to give converting them a shot.

I’ll try with the next couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's not a possibility that the Squig Hoppers will be 5 to a box, but with the way GW prices stuff that seems pretty unlikely. The Deepkin Eels came out this year, are a dual kit, and are three to a box. They are also 50 USD per box. It would make no sense for five models that are a third of the size of an Eel to cost more than three Eels. I think if GW was putting the Hoppers five to a box it would be Khinerai prices (dual kit, similar size) at 45 USD a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like squig hoppers will be a 5man multipart kit for both hoppers and bouncers. This is my understanding as well... Hoppers will be in a box of 5 at $50 USD/$60 CA and Herds will be in a box of 10 + 2 herders at $45 USD/$55 CA. 5 Hoppers will be a similar cost as 5 DoK Khinerai. Both are beautiful kits and awesome support pieces in an army. Maybe we can all hold off on the rage/price speculation till the preorders this weekend and talk about how cool this release is for Destruction.

Sabotage! Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 50 USD makes a bit more sense if the Hoppers are 5 model box. GW is weird with their price conversion between countries and often 45 euros is 60 USD, so that's what I was going off. Not sure if the U.S./Canada prices are in the wild yet.

(Base to base on round 60s, the 35mm marks would be over 2 inches apart... 60mm isn't really 60mm- it's larger... Need to stay within 1" for cohesion.). Turn them the other way you say? Now impossible to charge at or hit anything. You are right that base sizes are recommendations, but are required at tournaments and strongly preferred by most playgroups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
