April Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 No character this week? Considering there's like 4 left including top hat man I'd expect at least one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the prices being a little higher than that, but it would set a nice precedent, especially as people have said the bits for the Thunderers will be important. US dollars? The Venator is $40 us and £25? [I'm in the uk so trying to work out the £ prices]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine7six Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'd like to know that too as I have no idea how to build them, the battalions seem expensive as from my calculations you can only take iron sky command and squadron together.. the grundstock wing is 1240 minimum!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go Most of the stuff I have seen at the moment seems to be from War of Sigmar rumour site - https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1896 I have some doubts over some of the things they are getting excited about due to how units operate whilst being embarked but I'm waiting to see the book.

I'm totally good with a revamp of the 4 pages of core rules, it's not like we have to buy a big book for it or anything (cough cough 7th edition 40K cough cough).

Because you could take a khemist or navigator and get a triumph because you are only at 980. I think it is more coincidental that it is so close and if it were meant to balance against certain heroes in 1000 pt games it would have made more sense to do it as 100 or 60. I think it is probably A) balanced toward 2000pt games or B) (more likely) they just looked at what bonuses it gave and said, "eh, looks like an 80" then did a few playtests and said, "that seemed pretty reasonable" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that matched play is particularly balanced anyway, but convenience of list building has no place in determining the points cost of a unit or battalion! I imagine this is why they include points for the mega battalions that are unlikely to ever see play even in open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percivael Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Just looking at white dwarf again and noticed the Admiral Is pictured with two hammerheads - one is larger and seems to be stone the other smaller and metal. Looking at the sprue there is just the smaller with no option yet the painted admiral on GW site has the larger type. I think I prefer the smaller one aesthetically (which is still massive!) But what is this other hammer? Just a conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
