Overread Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It's a hold-over from the Kirby days, but I think it also works for GW otherwise they wouldn't do them. I think for them its more about showing a "full army" as a single purchase for those people who do jump on a new army in a big way and are looking for a one-click no-thinking purchase. It's away to make an impressive army display. Granted there's no additional discount, but in the Demon set you've got the getting started and W&R so all 3 components already come with built in discount. You're just not getting any extra. It's just harmless product display and lets not forget GW have been doing some army deals as of late and we've also got the Christmas Deals out too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorokyl Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It is almost harmless. I personally find the store painful to browse when probably half the items are alternate builds of the same kit, battletome/dice/combo bundles, or model bundles that offer no discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but, but ... It's convenient so that makes it a deal, right? /s Don't get me wrong, I love 90% of the new GW, but the web bundles are a mistep, imo. They feel like they're trying to trick consumers. Edited December 14, 2018 by Sleboda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManlyMuppet88 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It’s just about “one click” purchasing, making it easier for people to shop and I can’t fault them for that. And it’s a good value purchase really, you can’t expect discounts on already (quite reasonably) discounted items. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinlvalentine Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Even on the store page for Wrath And Rapture, they *still* don't have any individual photos of the Infernal Enrapturess. I'm now wondering if they're worried it's too gruesome to show close up! Really odd considering it's one of the brand new models in the box - a casual customer might not have any idea what it looks like at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought they were saving up for some big reveal, but now I kind of feel like they've lost or broken the model and didn't get the chance for a proper photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucentia Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The 'A' stands for 'Action', so it's kinda like Diablo and stuff normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action role-playing game (ARPG), a good example of one of these is the Diablo series of games and Path of Exile or if you want something Warhammer related Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor - Martyr. Stuff not being available for sale on the store doesn't really mean too much unless it isn't available on multiple/every store, like the orgors a while back, the Australian and American stores have everything still available for sale. If they were going to do an reveal anything for a January Moonclan or Destruction related they'd wait until after Wrath and Rapture is released or maybe even after Christmas.

Minis by Night Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 A Diablo clone with characters and monsters that look a lot like the actual AoS miniatures, you say? And it's NOT a mobile game? There might still be some hope in this world after all... Hype level rises to "interested". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Klatz Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) I mean there's already an AoS app game heavily modeled after clash royale(and it's actually very fun, bravo to them for winning game of the day) so I don't think they'll be That protective. I think the main reason is because the AoS license only went on purchase at the tail end of 2016 where as Wfb has always been waved about and is why you get a mix of TWW, Mordheim, Vermintide for high end games and Man-o-War, Skaven Doomwheel app and that Warhammer Wizard game nobody heard about for the low tier stuff. At least so far AoS champions & Realm Wars have been great so the future's looking good there even if it does take until 2021 for an rpg or the like. Until then I'll just head canon TWW as Ghur with the Lantic Empire trying to ruthlessly retake all of it's lands and Vermintide as a gnaw-hole opening up in ShadeSpire.
