They aren’t out of stock either since other issues have that as a label above them. These people need to get their collective shit together!

Were those made core in that update from a few months ago, and does GW ever release updated codexes with this shit?

I don’t think they were and don’t expect updates in books as they’ll post updates for rules and other things on the Warhammer Community website.

Price of the brick is going up: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/02/09/important-pricing-news/

5% on kits, 10% on Chinese products (books, scenery) as well as resin minis. No increase on paints, tools, or starter sets. Prices change goes live on March 7th.

Huh why is paint not increased? Lumbers been in the shitter for books so I get that. Even the krylon paint cans I’d use over citadel have been rising in price yet GW doesn’t? Something is up GW has the hidden paint pond or something.


Real talk I hope this makes them realize dropping dumb cartoons and embracing a living codex method through Warhammer+ in the future. Also you can still sell books but only charge the price for the special edition codexes and bam. Hire me you Anglo fucks.

My guess is that they have shifted costs on other things to keep paint and tools at their current price. Same with the starter sets because those are the entry points for the hobby.

Some kid walks into a GW store because he wants to get into this hobby that he has heard about through lore videos on YouTube. He gets the following:
  • Starter set (biggest version, comes with minis and terrain)
  • Glue
  • Clippers
  • Hobby file
  • Spray paint
  • Brushes
  • Paints
That’s like $300 or more. Double your sale on the paints and tools if he splits the game with a friend.

Down the line you offer him the codex, more models, carrying cases, etc.

But you need that lower cost investment at the start to hook the player on the game, and especially for younger hobbyists as their parents will balk at the price for a 2000 point army.
 
I remember the ancient Necromunda box. Carboard terrain with plastic endcaps. I don't think they were on sprues, either. That was smarter than any of this "Sector Hububububabub" crap. Yes, I like the GW terrain. But you know what I'd like more? A $100 Necromunda getting started box that had two gangs + enough terrain to fill a gameboard with + full rulebook. A $99 getting started box of Kill Team or Necromunda or what have you is "michevious birthday gift from an uncle that knows his shithead brother is gonna have to buy the paints / brushes / hobby tools / etc in a month" level of price.
 
I wonder if the Chaos Legionnaire loadout leak is for 10 man squads or 5, or if you can even make 5 man squads at all. You dont really net gain any extra special weapons per CSM because the champion cant take combis anymore. Very curious about the tome, if you can only cast baby smites like horror units or if you can cast real powers. If the latter then there could be some fun combos depending on what psychic powers the codex brings.

I miss the old school cardboard terrain.

I'm honestly surprised there's no 3rd party filling that void. Those little bulkheads were like one of three versions (open, closed, half closed with ladder) and would be easy to have China print in mass, and the cardboard would have to be pretty cheap to print and cut. They could even expand the range (ramps, stairs, etc) as well.


Edit: Dear god save me, I'm actually eyeballing a White Dwarf subscription.

There’s a website called battle systems that I found but the prices are extortion

And that’s only enough to cover a 2x2 tile. You could probably stretch it out over the new minimum board size of 44x30 inches but it wouldn’t look that great.

I wonder if there's any recreations of the old paper imperial base terrain from 2E

you're supposed to buy the core space box :>
(it's also a whole map, single scatter terrain should be cheaper)

you could always ask on /po/, they might even have a scan somewhere. there's also some scifi papercraft terrain around (there a dozens for fantasy), worst cast you'd have to print it yourself or ask a printshop.
http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/index.php?view=catalog&cat_id=1&genre_id=3 (still up bit hardly maintained anymore)
drivethrurpg/wargamevault should have some too.

there's also lasercut wood stuff that isn't that expensive, mate of mine bought some of those, can't remember the name tho.

speaking of terrain, this one finished last month. might be interesting for some:
