    Wow, looks like you Aussies get a pretty good deal on the starter (better not tell GW)! In Canada it is priced at $150CAD too, and the Start Collecting sets are priced $100CAD each, so the price differenced is significantly larger...

    It was $200AUD but the price was lowered. The new 40k box is $220AUD and that is in line with the US price given the current exchange rate. The pricing structure here in Oz may be changing for the better. Finally. Maybe.

  2. I'm not worried one way or another with the idea of Battleline units. This is just ONE of many ways to play. The rules with their points and restrictions have been written with the specific purpose of creating "balanced" armies for use in "competitive" matched play. If you want to take an all monster army or one just of heroes that's still cool, just play a narrative game or using the four page rule set and its scenario.

    My only concern with the Generals Handbook is that we will get back to the position we were with 8th (or 3rd to 8th edition, to be honest) where the ONLY way anyone ever played was with points and with that one line 'em up and kill 'em scenario. I want the campaigns and the narrative play options in it to outshine the matched play stuff so that we get some variety in our games and events.

    I'm currently working on my Greater Fenbeast:

    THAT'S AWESOME!! That Mierce stuff is fantastic and I love the arrows and spirits you've added.

     

    I've been working on these. There is just five but in thinking I may need five more. Wonderful models too.

    That alter is looking amazing! Really want to do one of these. They any good in game? The rules.. seem.. Ok?
     

    They are not bad. The god specific buffs are good, I've been using the Nurgle re-roll all missed To Wound rolls, but they don't put out much damage themselves. The big advantage is that they look scary -- as befits an ace centrepiece model -- and attract more attention than they deserve. I've been putting it in the middle of my battle line to buff things in the early turns and soaking up damage later.

  5. This is really great news. It has been an exciting few months watching GW engage with the community again. Bodes very well for the future. I hope that they put all the GD pictures they have up going back to the '80s and the out-side of the UK events. (I have a vested interest with that last one as I've won a couple of things down here in OZ :D )
