they could add the "this unit is a wizard with 5 or more models" requirement, so you've got 140pts minimum ?
Yeh I think that works

They made the point, repeatedly, that it's absolutely not a starter set. It should not analyzed as one.
Mods asked us to drop it so I'm not going to argue semantics with you mate.
So who's hoping Deepkin are getting a giant crab in the future?

I was just thinking about this in bed last night lol, if LRL have units that are wizards then the entire Sacrosanct chamber should be wizards/able to unbind yes? With the exception of the ballista and Lord Ordinator.
Would be cool if sacrosanct units could unbind however I would imagine castigators would need a point increase because 70 points for a unit that can unbind seems cheap

GW knows what makes money better than you. That's not a matter of opinion. It's a proven, demonstrable fact that GW are excellent at making money and increasing profits.
They are making more money out of Indomitus than originally forecast as well. This is another fact.
If they are needing to make things to meet demand, this is a good thing, and this is another fact.
They arent going to be pricing things at a loss to save face. GW are going to make lots of money off Indomitus.
Also quite why you think people buying a boxed game in record numbers *wont* equate to more people graduating to buy all the supplementary products you list is curious.
Bottom line- GW are selling tons of stuff, mote than they expected, and more people will buy more stuff on top of that, meaning this has been a very successful product launch in the areas that count most to a buisness- profit.
*You realise just because you say "that's a fact" at the end of something doesn't make it so?
*I never said they were making a loss, I said they produced made to order product at increased cost. Creating anything made to order vs a mass produced production run will cost more, that's an actual fact.
*I also never claimed people wouldn't be buying more after buying the boxed game, the point was every missed sale of a box set isn't missing £80 worth of sales, it's missing potentially hundreds if not thousands of potential sales.
*no one's arguing that GW aren't making money just that they could have done a better job here, we're all aware that profit is king but businesses have more measures and KPI's than just gross profit. Thing like engagement and retention are supremely important and are major factors in why GW had so many issues in the past.
Either way I look forward to you misquoting me and moving the goalposts again.

I don't work in retail, I'm in financial services. However, I work in customer relations and have a certain level of insight into delivering a successful customer experience.
We are constantly running surveys and gathering information from our brokers and clients. When a new product is launched we have a very accurate picture of how it will sell and how long it will take to turn a profit. We also try to forsee any pain points in advance and what kind of response will be needed.
GW seems to frequently make mistakes that would be seen as critical failures in my company. Their fan base and, as another poster said, near monopoly allows them to make errors most businesses can't afford.
That doesn't mean any of us should cheer them on or not put pressure on them to change.
This 100%
The fact that they are having to produce these sets made to order at increased cost to avoid a massive pr disaster is telling.
Also its worth remembering this is a starter set, they aren't big money spinners per box, they make money by introducing people to the game/armies and the real money is made on the non discounted units and special models plus all the paints, rule books tomes/codex accessories etc that come after.
GW didn't make any money when I got back into warhammer and i purchased the storm strike set. They made money from me purchasing the other 2k points worth of units for my sce and 1k in units for my wife's NH, plus paints, battletomes and the new generals handbook and then I got into Seraphon...

Can you try to explain why men represent a vast majority of tabletop wargames?
Male dominated is not the same as masculine, tabletop gaming and painting little models is not a masculine pursuit, not by traditional standards.
As to why the hobby is male dominated? The same reason that most nerd culture is male dominated, historical and sociatal pressures that have made women feel uncomfortable in these niche spaces.
Its worth noting that representation is much better for business. For all the scaremongering from sad little nerds the video game industry is making more and more money every year and increasing representation at the same time, the highest grossing films of the last few years have bucket loads of representation (black panther, avengers, any fast and furious movie)

I strongly doubt that adding more female Stormcast is suddenly going to make an inherently masculine hobby more appealing to women.
What on earth makes you think pushing around little plastic figures and rolling dice is masculine?
Also I'd kill for an all female Stormcast unit as well as a female lord celestant

Thanks
The grass is a mixture of premade tufts I've cut into smaller pieces and spread around and static grass glued on, I don't have an applicator so I just add it by hand.
The chain is just green stuff.
