    so the prices in that spreadsheet image....
    What's up with those? 

    Red painting handle $67.50
    Spray stick $18
    Paint Pot holder $48 
    5 pack of black painting handles $40

    Considering a painting handle now is $10 (I'm assuming everything is USD here). 
    Why on earth is the red one over 6 times more expensive? 
    the 5 pack price seems fine. 
    The spray stick seems a bit expensive but depends how big it is.... 
    The paint pot holder for $48 seems absurd too.... $48 for a bit of plastic with 3 recessed circles? 

    I don't usually complain about pricing but who the hell is going to buy a red painting handle at a 675% mark up? 
    That's literally more than a unit of 20 Mortek Guard.... 

    Yeah the painting handle seems crazy...you can get a single red handle for $67.50 or buy 5 black ones for $40? That makes no sense

    I don't think you understood me.

    The Warcry warbands contain a bunch of cards, that contain all the warriors' Warcry stats, descriptions of special abilities, and such

    These new warband releases are (I believe) going to be missing all the Warcry cards, but contain double the sprues.  This would be just about right on target for the slightly inflated points cost, and would make them more affordable for folks who just play AoS and not Warcry itself.

    I don't quite agree; unless the cards in those warbands are significantly different from the cards they sell by themselves for $8, that'd be a significant discount. They cost $50 right now, removing the $8 cards and doubling the sprues for only $65 is very unlikely.

    Don't know what to think, this one takes it further:

    But we already were told by GW at least mortek guard and stalkers would be up for preorder next saturday. It seems strange if there suddenly is an entire week between tome and spell releases for reapers before the actual army releases all at once.

    All those prices are supposed to be USD? Dunno why the Warcry warbands would be $65, they're $50 right now...I guess theoretically if they're being more incorporated into StD then the AoS versions of those boxes might have...more units? That seems unlikely, though I dunno how their sprues are laid out

    Way too early to call the sky is falling. We don't even know the points yet.

    I've never understood the rush to judge the balance of things before points are even out. That's like, a core part of the discussion. That's like saying "does anyone think this laptop is overpriced?" based on the features, before we even get the price announced.

    They published rules for units in the Space Marine codex that are just releasing this weekend. 

    Also gonna happen when Bonereapers tome releases this weekend and the only Bonereaper units released will be the ones in the Ogor battle box

    Just because the results are godo doesn't mean it wasn't a rush job. All 3 of these books have been sort of shoved into the scedual. I think the Orruk book and the city book are both great. But they did not go trough a full studio design cycle. (hench the lack of newness) 

    If they're great and the results are good, what about them indicates they weren't a rush job? And if the results are good AND it was a rush job, what does it matter?

    That's not it.  The orc book the ogor book and the citiies book, where more or less minimal effort rush jobs to get the armies playable again. Specialy for the orc and cities book. The studie basicly did not do a full design cause they where rushed to do it.  Bone reapers how ever are a fully designed army. 

    You can maybe say the Orruk book got short shrift but they definitely put a lot of work into the Cities book, that was definitely not a rush job (or if it was, then they did a good job rushing a good book)

    If you want to swap animals then the best bet is to get a second base, and base the two sets of animal s separately. Then you just build the chariot to swap between the two bases. If you want the riders to change too then obviously magnetise their feet to the chariot.

    Ahhhh so does the chariot itself not get glued to the base? Like does it get magnetized you the base instead?

  9. Anyone have any tips for magnetizing a Chaos chariot/gorebeast chariot? Never magnetized before, this generally looks like one of the easier ones to magnetize since the steed is the main difference and that's its own unit, but how would you switch them in and out of the base?

    So I'm the only one that likes primary painting scheme most? I find it good enough not to change anything and paint it as is.

    I don't like it the most, but definitely disagree with others that it was wrong for them to choose that as the default color scheme.

    Seems to me an Ogor announcement at Spiel was dropped. 

    1st and 4th the 40K thing. 2nd Spire Tyrant Beastmen, last Ogor and Gnoblar BloodBowl team... Leaves the middle one? Or did the BloodBowl team warrent two images in the hero image?

    Underworlds has a rumored Ogor warband and Underworlds conspicuously got very few announcements; it seems like it would've been a perfect time to announce the warband, especially IF the warband's warscroll was gonna be released in the Mawtribes tome

    Quick question — my apologies if this has been covered already.

    Will the Mawtribes book be going up for preorder this weekend alongside the Ossiarch / Ogres box?

    Looking forward to getting the large lads back on the table! 

    Yep! Preorder this weekend, release next weekend

    The whole 'they're collector's items' thing just sounds like making excuses for GW. 

    Why can't they have form and function? 

    I'm not saying it as an excuse. When you look at how expensive they are, and how few are produced, it's kind of clear that they're not really supposed to be these mass-market high-volume dice you get a ton of. 

  14. I'm not sure if it's just a bug/glitch with Azyr/Warscroll Builder, but from what I understood of the rules, if you have an StD unit that has the Mark of Chaos ability, it gets that god's keyword. So, I'd assume that it'd be able to take that allegiance's command traits/artefacts. But, when I try to do that in Azyr/Warscroll, it doesn't let me choose ANY artefacts or command traits. Am I misinterpreting this rule?

    You want to elaborate on that? I don't want to argue against it in case I've misunderstood your meaning ;)

    They're exclusively looking at CoS through the lens of a mono-Duardin/Dispossessed player and how it affected their own personal army, not how CoS armies as a whole perform when you use the full range of models
