A bigger box with 10 Hobgrotz and 10 gutrippas, 5 vindictors, 3 preators and whichever heroes aren't in the other box for £65. A third box with exactly the same contents plus some scenery for £105 The Stormcast big sprue has Yndrasta, 3 annihilators and the vexillor. The Kruleboyz big sprue has the big monster the murknob and the boltboyz. These will be sold individually at a very high price. This is pretty easy to guess by looking at the sprue breakdowns and comparing to the 40k starter boxes.

Yndrasta, the Anihilators, and the Knight-Vexillor are all on one sprue, as are the Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof, Murknob, and Boltboyz. These will probably be dropped from the starter sets and sold as Webstore-exclusive sets at a big markup, like the command frames from Indomitus. I’d bet on the following starters: $40 Starter with the Knight-Incantor, 5 Vindictors, Killaboss with Stab-grot, and 10 Gutrippaz. $90 Starter with the Lord-Imperatant, 5 Vindictors, 3 Praetors, Swampcalla Shaman with Pot-Grot, 10 Gutrippaz, and 10 Hobgrots. $160 Starter with the same minis as the $90 Starter, plus terrain and cardboard playmat. The Gutrippaz and Hobgrots might be reversed, but this puts a battleline option in all the sets. All prices are USD, reference the price of the 9e 40K starters in your local currency for conversion to Euros, Moose Money, or Good Boy Points.

Hope there is some kind of hobgrot hero!. It does sound like they're not slaves: “lending their services”, “serve as intermediaries”, skimming a bit off the top in a tolerated fashion, swindling the shoddiest gear off their “paymasters”. In WHFB the chaos dwarves treated hobgoblins as Quote eminently suitable lackeys and disposable minions - in particular as slave masters, overseers, tribute-collectors, and even when pressed, as warriors. so this sounds fairly similar. Frankly it might even suggest more freedom, that they can swindle the shoddiest gear off their “paymasters” and can join up with the Kruelboyz for their own raids. More like privileged (if untrustworthy) mercenaries and spivs for these AoS chaos dwarfs rather than a captive semi-slave class for the Dawi-Zharr.

Preorder day expectations is mostly just a lot of frustration and disappointment at this point, although I would love to be proven wrong. Just the opposite. They do want to sell their own product. What they don't want is for 3rd party retailers to sell much of it because GW makes more money if you buy direct from GW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I hadn't seen any unboxing videos yet, or the sprue layouts, I have Indomitus and thought they would go the same route with 2 large sprues unique to Dominion (at least initially). 14 minutes ago, EnumaEilish said: $90 Starter with the Lord-Imperatant, 5 Vindictors, 3 Praetors, Swampcalla Shaman with Pot-Grot, 10 Gutrippaz, and 10 Hobgrots.

Dreddships Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Forewarning - looks like stock is softcapped at around 50 a store. If I remember correctly, that's under the cap that Indomitus was at. If I'm remembering correctly, Indomitus was capped at around ~100 or so a store. Seeing a few FLGS and stockists note its only a softcap, and it being possible potentially more will arrive. If it's anything, I managed to grab an Indomitus box just a few weeks ago in March that had been sat on a local store's shelf - so it might be that it's not the end of the world - but I'd be ready as early as possible on Saturday to make sure you can grab one... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd check local/smaller stores if you miss out on the pre-order, GW may sell out quickly and the smaller shops may be left hanging on to stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vindictor's simple warscroll makes me relieved they're not a must take powerhouse with multiple abilities like Sequitors were.

Hopping back to an older topic, I hope Dawncrusaders have some update goodies for Fyreslayers like their article hinted at. Them, Azyrites and Daughters working together would fit the Avatar-Gotrek & Maleneth partnership as she's both a khainite & Order of Azyr, fit with the Fyreslayers lore of them getting along with the Ulgu races "Caengan - Long ago, the Caengan lodge settled in the Realm of Ulgu seeking hidden ur-gold in the mists. Forming pacts with the Shadowkin in clandestine wars, the lodge has learned the subtle ways of battle from the Shroudling Kings." And besides looking for Ur-gold on the dawner expeditions they can also look for more lost feral lodges in Ghur which is 3.0's main focus. "The Wild Lodges - Tales of Fyreslayers living in the Vanishing Wilds of Ghur tell of feral duardin daubed in molten metal.

Doko Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 As i said before,mathammer show how new stormcast battleline is overcosted by 40% and other units 20% New stormcast battleline have almost the same stats than my longbeards that have many options of auras and cost 100. Even with the new increase as we have seen nothing have increased more than 20% New stormcast battleline cost is 100, with new increase 120 max,140 is waaaaaay overcosted and they are useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuxxx Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Say, wasn't there something about the store kicking you out after 10 minutes? Or do I just imagine things?

Doko Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 As i said we know the new points of two top tier armys as are dok and idoneths and are getting 10\15% increases. So if the top armys only get 15% i guess if gw know the meaning if balance(that we know they dont know it) the other lower tier armys gonna get 10% increases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10 minutes is once you get through the queue onto the store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find that queue is hugely exploitable, and its even more so if the the pre-10 is randomised. You can basically hang on to your spot after the ten mins even if its not randomised, its an awful system tbh and doesn't need any fancy software/vpns/etc to do so.

I had someone tell me that it wasn't randomised and by the time I could check it the preorder rush had ended and the store was back to normal. That's even worse news then. I'm certainly not even going to try and buy a copy, the queues will be insanely massive, there will be more traffic than ever. The randomisation makes its even more likely that even 'regular' folk will exploit the system. Its totally ridiculous at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
