I need most of the things in the Dwarf one (not the Master Engineer), but as I still have to paint loads I don't want to buy it.
The daemon one will be good, but I would prefer to only buy models for one god. Never a fan of Slaanesh.
Yawn, are chaos dwarfs here yet?
Some odd model choices, a shame that there are all easily available anyway.
I won't bother with any of them. I mean, what's the point?
Is there a deal involved? They do seem like kind of an odd promotion. No new models, no models that are hard to get.... I second Hashut's Blessing's comment: what's the point?
it saves you about a fiver...
i was looking forward to the o&g... but its rubbish...
the dwarfs deal is ok... if you like your dwarfs chaos free...
A completley pointless and stupid idea! not in any way does this have anything to do with GW 25th Anniversary, just a blatent attempt to try and get people to spend more money for nothing extra. The only people that will fall for this are parents or friends who have no clue about GW who are looking to buy with the best intentions for someone else and get this sort rubbish, they are out there though so GW will probably get some money from this.
Really disappointing, just when you thought they couldn't get any lower...
So to conclude for the 25th aninversary they've done... bugger all. Sad really
well this year does in fact have more releases than... ever really...
repackaged box sets not being all that great is really a non issue...
yah i know what you mean. i luve the new demons though. in my opinion the demonets dont look as "seductive and luring" as the old hordes of chaos book sayz they do oh well i guess you can have your cake but you cant eat it (or somthin like dat) any wayz im off to my local gw ([]1(square 1)) TO SHOW OFF MY AWSOME yellow jakets(blood angels with yellow and black paint skeem( i like jump troops as normal troops))
k catch ya on the flip
The empire box is actually quite nifty, not unnecessarily hard to get but certainly useful...
And whats with Harry costing $25 thats more than an empire detachment!
Hm, on closer inspection some of these actually seem to be pretty good deals... The Hordes of Chaos one saves $90 american, for example. And the Beasts of Chaos one with all the minotaurs is kinda neat. Last I checked the Canadian site minotaurs were 30 dollars each, so 21 of them for 350-odd isn't all bad. Interesting that they are putting these sets together with large quantities of monster-type models, for those armies that have them.
Not that I'll buy any.
30 Chaos Knights? 10 Pegasus Knights?! What are they planning? Apocalypse?
The rules in WD for large scale fantasy games was discussed on Warseer here:
fantasy apocalypse
Well IMHO WFB works well on a large scale anyway, and if its a case of huge armies, just play scaled up Warmaster
i think ill pick up the beast and the hordes
just to not exagerate when i say i have 10k point of chaos
23k...
Maybe the thinking was that as it was the 25th aniversary, they'd try and make a box for veterans with big armies for whom the thought of an extra four core units would be off-putting
I'm still trying to figure out just what is the value of these boxes.... <insert sound of chirping crickets here>...
well the BoC one saves you nearly $100 over buying these minos seperately...
And since I'm not planning a BoC army...
merely pointing out the "value" of the boxed set... nearly $100... which you seem to have missed...
looks like the "what army is willmark making?" research wing of GW really messed up this time...
