That axe is not in the current box, and the thing on the gor's left hip is not on the models.

Aldaris: In America, Herds are $35. The new boxes would be $22. Still a little more, but you aren't locked into getting heaps of gor when you want ungor, and visa versa.

Maybe, but in pounds prices (which I'll propably pay because buying models from online shops in the UK is significantly cheaper than Euro prices) that is still a price hike of over 60% per model. That may not be as significant for someone like you who already has a load of the buggers and just wants some fleshing out here and there, but for me who'd be starting from scratch it is pretty prohibitive.

phillyt · « **Reply #1227 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:50:34 PM »

My math indicates that it is only a 33% per model cost.

Still sucks though.

It sucks majorly. And I don´t see the reason. It will mean people, besides mighty Shadowlord, will only be able to build up their forces very slowly and this may be enough to make people bored. It´s plain stoopid.

Sure makes me think twice about starting any new army.

Aldaris · « **Reply #1229 on:** November 18, 2009, 09:18:16 PM »

12 gors and 8 ungors for 18 = about 0.9 per model
10 gors for 15 = 1.5 per model.

Increase of about 60 percent.
My math beats your math!

But my ass is still Phat!

About the new prices... Seriously, how can you be surprised?

Empire and Skaven were hints enough I would think.

Now bring me that Pumbagor!

One pumbagor ordered!

Now, do you prefer it bloody or well done?

phillyt · « **Reply #1233 on:** November 19, 2009, 02:58:42 AM »

My math says 20 models for $35 is $1.75 per model
10 models for $22 is $2.20.

Thats less than a 33% increase.

Buy American.

EDIT: Just realized Aldaris was talking in pounds. Stoopid me.
EDIT2: My brain needs to start working. My math fails.

15.00 GBP = 25.0539 USD

18.00 GBP = 30.0646 USD

30.0646/20 ~ $1.5/model
25.0539/10 ~$2.5/model

So that's a 67% price increase...

Whats the thing about having big belly and gut plates now? The cover looks like small ogres with strange heads. Is that a Beastman giant in the background, again with the gutplate.

phillyt · « **Reply #1236 on:** November 19, 2009, 12:16:33 PM »

The info I saw says the new boxes will be the price of the state troops etc. Thgat would put them at $22.

I think it is a minotaur. The gut plates are common in the army and existed on the models long before the ogres were produced.

I refer to them as "The WWF Championship Belt" on most of thye models which have them. My beastmen like to wrestle.

Phil

Gneisenau · « **Reply #1239 on:** November 19, 2009, 12:40:59 PM »

Why should the Warhammer World be exempt from fashion patterns?

Beasts have probably noticed that the gut plates look fancy on ogres. So they got some for themselves, because everybody knows ogres are the trendsetters in WHFB. Remember that period three years ago when all the High Elves ate like pigs to become as fat as possible? All because of them ogres.

phillyt · « **Reply #1240 on:** November 19, 2009, 12:46:09 PM »

They did look silly with their little chainmail dresses all sticking out in awkward places.

The thing is, the Beastmen had the gutplates first, but nobody noticed because they were coated in dung and sexy juice.

Guys I come to this forum for it's community and to read helpful warhammer threads after work (I get to say that now).

Instead I have to read numbers and equations and all sorts of mumbo jumbo, the things I visit this forum to escape from!

I ask ever so politely that we talk about how cool the beast hero models are and that I hope they don't get rid of them (although the regular 2 plastic hero box could be awesome as well).

They havn't made those plastic kits since HE.

The current heroes are good, but we are getting two more and a pair of shamans (finally!)

I object!

This thread has been pretty cohesive and on topic for at least most of it's 50 pages

.

At least, it seems so when I compare it to the skaven thread which I tried to trawl through the other day.

Can't wait for the new shamans. The ones we have are so yawn inducing.

This is the thing they are basing the GOrgon off. I guess itisn't just D&D.

No, you came first.

Some really big news starting to come out:

The bestigor and Minotaur models are not super great according to Hastings and Harry. I'll wait to see. They both think they are better than the current ones though.

Ungor can be fielded seperately with the following options: spears, hand weapons,and shortbows.

Ungor can be added to gor untis like skink can to kroxigor units, apparantly. Not sure how much I buy into this, but it appears to be the case given the ability to field seperate herds.

The gor and ungor have gotten TOTALLY NEW SCULPTS. They look almost the same, so I have no idea why they bothered...

And they did raise the price to $25 for 10 gor or ungor.

Phil

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #1248 on:** November 20, 2009, 01:29:26 PM »

WHAT!!!

25 dollars for 10 gors or ungors. For fething core troops! I belive GW are going insane now. Truly insane. That sort of put the final nail in the coffin om my Beastmen dreams.
I think I start scraping together Tomb kings stuff now, before their books come out and they skyrocket their prices aswell.

All of a sudden my interest in Perry and Warlord and £15 buying you 36 plastic minis is seeming to be oh so sensible .............

I can get Metal Perry Sculpts for £1.00 each, or GW Gors for £2.50 each?

OOH difficult one ...............
