That amount of models is straight up insane. I remember when I started Tomb Kings with their battalion box (16 Spearmen, 16 Archers, 8 Cav and 3 Chariots) and the amount of grey plastic was already completely paralysing to me as a beginner. I cannot imagine building 60 of those old skeleton kits in the year 2024 and not immediately losing interest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyantheFett Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) So that means the 4 in the Bretonnia box should be the Men-at-Arms, archers, Knights of the Realm, and Pegasus Knights? Would explain the Warhammer Day Preview and match pretty well with what we got in Tomb Kings. Also means the 4 returning models for Tomb Kings are in there. Which means we only have 3 or 4 left to get revealed. One new duel unit and a few more resin heroes.

Sathrut Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Well, this confirms the TK boxset rumour from Valrak: Quote New Valrak rumours Summary: Release Q1 2024 Boxset contents: Each box get their own core rulesets (probably means core rulebook in both boxes?) Bretonnia: 70+ models Big chunk of Men-at-Arms (two units?) Big chunk of Archers Two lances of Knights Unit of three Pegasus knights Lord on Pegasus Only the Lord on Pegasus will be new, everything else is old fantasy models Tomb Kings: 90+ models Skeletons Archers Knights (Necropolis Knights?) Chariots Lich riding a Dragon again only the Lich will be new So safe to assume that the Bretonnia contents are true.

No way the dragon would be 100 pounds. It has to be cheaper than AoS. As 30k is cheaper than 40k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, it might be £95 like the greater demons and gobsprak, maybe £90 like the cities manticore or £105 like kragnos. I think it will be around the £90 - £100 mark, I hope I'm wrong but can't see it being anything less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping for the box to be around 120 - 140 pounds. Those old as hell minis have to lower the price some how. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doko Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 with boxes so big and juicy as this gonna be a hell resist to buy the high elf,wood elf,dwarfs,skaven and vampire counte when be released lol by the way what gonna happen with updated units as saurus guards,skeleton,bats,wolfs etc? they gonna use the new of aos or the old of fantasy. skeletons and wolfs can be used with no problems,but the saurus gonna be a challenge to get in square and ranks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsumy Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 that box is absolutly insane..... even not wanting to buy those armys im sooo tempted to get it. i hope the price will be around 200€ mark, no chance it being lower. if they release same box on high elfs/ woododelfs.... ill get 2 of each for sure 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for old units that got updated in AoS? At the moment nobody knows. They've shown the 6th Ed metal Treeman and not the 8th Ed plastic Treeman, the latter staying in AoS, but Irondrakes are in TOW and still in AoS. New base sizes take care of ranking issues, which was probably done in part to allow for updated units to be used in TOW.

I dunno, it’s overpriced in the sense that everything by GW is overpriced but for comparison that heresy box has a little over half the miniatures of the tomb kings one. And a bunch of the tomb kings are cavalry and chariots. Of course the issue is that this box is built around the chunky old Harryhausen skeletons… Edited December 14, 2023 by sandlemad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Depending on the price of the boxes, I do wonder if they'll be shooting themselves in the foot if only Bretonnians and Tomb Kings are getting these boxes initially. I imagine a lot of people who are more interested in Empire, Orcs & Goblins, Dwarfs, etc will simply choose to hold off on building an army straight away if they expect a big discount bundle - with a rulebook and everything - will be releasing in the future, especially with the rumours of Empire vs Orcs in Summer. Unless of course they drop all of them immediately (or at least reveal them), in which case my concern would be unfounded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noserenda Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Damn, i was still kinda hoping they would do new skeletons but those were dated back in 8th ed, let alone now, yuck. I had a whole scheme back then for a casket of souls in a watchtower Raiders of the lost arcing everything but the infantry put me off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jator Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 It's hard to say without knowing prices, but I think the box looks great. If they keep a reasonable price - and they totally should, considering those old minis recovered their cost decades ago- I prefer this to boxes with two armies (one you'll want to sell). But it's GW, so we better cross our fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
