Has anyone of you a picture of the multipart Gutrippaz Boss with wicked stikka?

So far I have only seen the one with two short "hakkas" or the one from Dominion

Hey guys, if any of you are struggling to find Bolt Boyz at decent prices, i have found the Killaboss on foot to be a decent base for conversion. Bolt boyz are going for $44+ USD per 3 while killa bosses on foot are much cheaper and i know many of us have extras/unused. 

Just a small ballista from my 3d printer and some spare gutrippa spears and boom: Discount bolt boy champion.

Very nice idea and the look is really cool and unique.

I didn’t know they were that expensive nowadays😳

[Landohammer]

Yea pre Codex i paid $37 for 6 but now they are double that. But strangely the dominion half prices havent changed. They are still hovering around $65-70 USD. 

If you do the conversion i posted above, this creates the weird situation where you can get 4 bolt boyz and a dominion half for $5 more than just straight up buying 4 kruleboyz. 

And im sure the Murknob could also easily be converted into a bolt boy too if you are desperate enough!

KBz are still new and there are a few lists floating around that are doing alright. You can't have a mount trait on Gobbsprakk, otherwise I think this is a solid foundation and I'm running a very similar list.

Get a few games in against some different armies and let us know what your thoughts are!

I love the idea of the 2nd 20 block of guttripaz, it was something I would like to have done, but I couldn’t bring myself to ignore the mirebrute and small screens of grotts.

if you get the chance to play this list be sure to report your thoughts on its performance because I am sure many are curious to know how it plays

I think its fine. I think any list with a Sludgeraker, shaman, killbow and a solid unit of bolt boyz is off to a good start.

I absolutely love the model, but  Gobbsprakk just seems too expensive for what he does, and the lack of access to a mount trait is pretty brutal, since the mount traits in this army are very good. The magic heavy armies he is meant to counter will sail right over his unbinds since he doesn't get any bonuses. Leaving his once per game mandrake as his only true value. 

I always bring a Vulcha, but I just prefer the Killaboss with an amulet of destiny and I give him the Fast'un trait. A potential 28" move plus a charge is quite solid, and 240pts for that much threat seems like a steal.

Wow, that's mad. They've gone up a little in the UK, but nothing too crazy. Can see buy it now on ebay at the moment for £20. They were down to about £10 at their lowest.

Wait.. how do you buy Boltboyz? Am I missing something or its the only unit we can't buy right now?

Ebay, but the prices are pretty outrageous now. They went from $6 a model to $15 model as soon as the book hit. 

[5kaven5lave]

Anyone painted up Gobsprakk yet? Are there any decent painting guides about?

Marco has a great video, fantastic painter and this Gosprakk is the best I've seen.

Good news on boltboys becoming available as a kit next week. I m guessing this will bring back down the ebay price for those in the dominion box?

Also glad they are variant sculpts to mix with my 6 dominion Boltboyz

Depending on the multipart kit's prize. If their cost (X) is higher than the current prize on eBay they could raise it to X-1 and still be "a deal".

[Garxia]

Boltboyz (3 in box) ---> 35€, unsurprisingly, the best box in the army is the most expensive.

Ouch, that hurts...

Nearly character model level pricing right there. I get why GW does this, but it really makes you think about kitbashing those guys.

Yeah I got 9 dominion ones for a little more than that and am going to convert the champions

[zombiepiratexxx]

It's the last box I need to complete my 2k list so I'll be grabbing this one. 

[Rachmani]

Realistically though, how many Boltboys do you really need? 6, 9 or 12. So for most people, that’s 1-2 boxes & while expensive still doable.

 

Edit: Don‘t get me wrong, still pretty expensive.

Is this the confirmed price? The rest of the range was quite reasonably priced, only real expensive is the bird, so may not be a surprise, but its still a lot for 3 32mm dudes.

Confirmed sadly. Hobgrots (20) are 40€ btw.
