novakai Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Man, Teclis‘s base must be where all the plastic cost is because I don’t think he that big in comparison to Archeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captaniser Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I think Teclis' price is affected by the fact he has a rather significant character tax. Also with the rest of the lumineth prices i can't determine if GW thought everybody would buy the Lumineth and then try to make the most money on them, or they don't think the army will be especially popular and are trying to meet their earning quotas.

El Antiguo Guardián Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I hope core units are 20 models each one, if not, at the price of the Witch Aelves, people are going to use H-Elves or 3D printed models. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 That is a bold pricing decision by GW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarmofseals Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I guess I'm not that surprised about Teclis. In the pics he looks significantly larger than a Bloodthirster. If the Sentinels and Wardens are $60 per 10 that'll be rather disappointing. Makes me think the Alarith Stoneguard will be $50 for 5.

They are shown in 10s in the promo photo so thats probably the number in the box unfortunately. I take it they are an elite army not horde...😬 Telcis looks to be pretty big centre piece model you'd only buy one of so I can kind of get that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was thinking about doing 2 Lumineth armies, one for me and another one for my brother... bad luck.

silverstu Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yeah we don't really know what's on the way beyond that Morathi box army wise. Plus I'm really keen to see what's coming for Warcry and Underworlds beyond the new starters. Hoping for something Dwarf that I can buy into. 17 minutes ago, Skreech Verminking said: And Skaven in December😆... ....

Beastmaster Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Yea, I don’t get it too. Skaven are quite unique, they have a lot of design possibilities and afaik they are and always were quite popular. For all those reasons (I thought) they got their battletome early on. Then... nothing. Why not cash in on their popularity with new models right and left? Edited September 1, 2020 by Beastmaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloth_Corfiser Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 GW really shot themselves in the foot with the shared sprues (!)in the Island of Blood Box. Otherwise we would have had a few newer sculpts for Skaven. So I guess while many new Models like the Engineers, the new Rat Ogres or the Packmaster were undeniably conceived - the Resources delegated to their Design feel somehow "wasted". It was all a short term Strategy to make as much out of the Box, but what do I know? Also it hasn't been that long since the Skaven Battletome- I guess new Skaven-Inspired content is not too far around the corner. Skaven are pretty important in the Grand Scheme of AoS Lore afterall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget, last year was all about getting battle tomes out and armies up to speed which I think they did a great job with. If this year had gone to plan, we would have had Lumineth and the Sons by now and possibly know more of what's coming in the future. I doubt we've seen the last of Skaven. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaven is really a weird one. We had a big update for Gloomspite Gitz a month before the Skaven Battletome, but only got the Warlock Bombardier with the Campaignbox. They have so much potential for new models but maybe GW doesn't really know what to do with them. In fact Gloomspite Gitz was the last army of the already existing ones that had a big model update with the Battletome Release, all other Armies after that got a Battletome and at best a Hero, Endless Spells and/or Factionterrain. (okay Slaves to Darkness got a Small Model update with the Start Collecting Box but even they basicly wait for a bigger update for their old plastic and Finecast Models.

Battletomes were important and a pressing issue, I agree. I just wonder why they spent time and energy on (sometimes quite weird and exotic) miniatures, like the Kurnothi or those three goblin wolf riders that don’t fit in anywhere, when, say, a new box of ninja rats or acolytes would have sold so much better, and wouldn’t have been more work.
