    Element said they had a good amount of stock but its all gone now. They did say it wasn't clear if there would be more stock but I think there's just a lack of clarity from GW about this at the moment so you're going to get differing info floating around

     

    Dark Sphere don't seem to have put their pre-order up at all yet unless it just went in a flash, as there's no product listing for it yet that I can see. It won't be around long if they have 30-50 copies though obviously

    Eltharion put Arkhan over clean as a sheet in the middle of the ring at End Times 2015. I guarantee Arkhan has enough respect for this business and the boys in the back that he was damn sure gonna return the favours if Eltharion could still go

    Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion

    There are sadly now reports of people out there developing full-blown Stage IV Lumineth Derangement Syndrome. Just wandering into random shops and dwellings ranting about "aelves" being "pansies" until asked to leave. When the end comes they can't even have an open casket at the funeral because their face has permanently contorted into the "confused" react

    I wasn't sure if that guy was supposed to represent the noble character's three cousins who disgraced themselves by willingly accepting the blood kiss, but they are now naked and feral with only the shoulderplate from the armour intact on one of them

    Yeah the 2020-21 AOS releases, possibly undermined by pricing and the inability to play in-person matches, haven't really inspired me to put my hand in my pocket, but a self-contained Warhammer Quest packed with grimdark weirdo models is just a direct hit on my wallet, can't wait

    The new guy has a bit more of  dishevelled, pirate-y Luther Harkon vibe than the sort of Dark Souls 3 Deacons of the Deep/undead priest look the map sketch brought to mind, still into it tho

    I think the amount of people that would just sigh and nope out straight away if it turned out to be Epic scale would be prohibitive. It also doesn't really suit GW's current marketing model if the new mini they have to hype is a plastic block of tiny infantry with little detail, unless I'm underestimating what they could do technically now

    For anyone else wondering, BloodBowl Reddit says local game store lists are saying the new season box will release 27th Nov, £85, €105, US$140. Not sure if that's RRP, but not bad at all I don't think, given the star players and big guys being included

    I am going out on a limb and guessing new Lumineth. Tyrion and his Aelves are a lot lazier than Teclis' Aelves when it comes to weapon forging. 
     

    Tyrion personally forged all of his troops' weapons while he still couldn't see and nobody had the heart to tell him they weren't achingly beautiful runeswords

    All bellowing "BRING ME SUNFANG" while a long-suffering aide winces and hands him a baseball bat with a nail through it

    Just curious, given the current conversation, if that box has a price point at which you would skip it anyway. Since I already have the current set, the only thing I "need" in the box is the rulebook, which I'm assuming will be out separately in due time. That means that unless it's under maybe $120 I'm not getting it, but I think if I didn't have the current game, I might pay up to $150.  It'll be interesting to see if $200+ is the new standard going price for GW "starter" boxes.

    I've had £60 (~$80) store credit at the local board game café which I accumulated during lockdown, so I'm hoping that will take the edge off the price for me however much it is, though given the extra stuff in the box this time out I won't be too surprised if it ends up being such a drink-spitting price point I end up bailing out. If it's the same as Catacombs they'll probably charge 110 in GBP, which, enh, OK.

    I haven't played tabletop BB since the 90s, contenting myself with squashing the lame AI of the PC game for an occasional fix, but there are a lot of minis I feel like painting in that new box. If I already had a previous set with human and orc teams I'd be in the same boat as you definitely
