A lot of product is made in China land these days so they really don’t have that excuse. Unless that stopped after their run in with the tax man. Apparently they were claiming that product was made wholly in the UK which is a big no no to the government.
if every box was getting individually hand-couriered from Nottingham, I could understand it
Aussie import laws are autistic as fuck, actually. A buddy of mine down under wants to buy some American whiskey and bourbon since its good stuff, but apparently the import taxes and fees on it are ridiculous.
Games Workshop doesn't use the standard inflation rate, in order to protect their profit margin they use the most inflated value of a local currency in the past couple of years (I think 2012 but I'm not sure) just in case the value of the pound drops faster than they can change the price. The AUD was just a little less stable than the pound.
The getting started minis.
I don't play or play against necrons, but globally I always found generics to be the most versatile/ useable characters. Being able to modify their loadouts, and them usually being cheaper than the named ones is always a plus.
Overlords are pretty customisable and you aren’t immediately locked into a dynasty. Put them on a command barge for the best results.
Any comment on the overlord that comes in the starter box/Indomitus box that’s different than the one you can just buy? The standalone one seems to have a scythe and a rez orb while the one I got has a big glaive and an antitank missile.
Unless they're special models with new posed and buts, starter boxes /collection boxes contains the same sprues as the individual boxes. The sprues should contains all available loadouts.
Starter sets are push fit. All the sculpts in Indomitus are new. There are two different sculpts for the Overlord and the one not from the starter set only has the scythe and resurrection orb.
I was mostly confused as to if the unit was completely separate from the old overlord because the model I have isn’t in the codex and I havent really bothered getting into the box for fear of losing tiny bits and it just being way to cold to start priming things where I am. I’m trying to get a functional army together with the stuff I mentioned in my previous post as a base.
Void Scythe and Orb of Eternity are pretty good on them. The foot lord also gets a 4+ invulnerable save which is quite good as well. For crypteks a technomancer or psychomancer are both good options and go nuts with whichever cryptek arkana you like.
