Oh, c'mon!
Cawl's not even trying with the Covenant of Fire!
They even use the Heresy Era Word Bearer iconography!

Looks like your word bearers have some competition on the most intolerable space marine chapter.
 
I was planning on getting one of these gorgeous bastards:

...but then GW hit me with the price.

$195. The unmitigated gall of these guys.

How much does that cost compared to say, a Knight?

They're more expensive than all of the plastic Knights, which are $157 USD for the Preceptor, Gallant, Warden, and Crusader and $170 for the Castellan and Valiant. But then there's the resin Knights from Forge World, which are $200 for the Questoris Knights, $300 for the Cerastus Knights, and $535 for the Acastus Knights.
 
Not only are they more expensive than a Knight, but they come with fewer options.

I’d love to see the points value for these guys. Teclis is $175 and he’s around 400 points so these mega-gargants are most likely more, at least 500 points.

So for a full 2000 point army, we are looking at spending $800 on models, $40 for a battletome and include any paints and a full army is less than $1000.

That is about the same price for most 2000 point lists.

In terms of business, this is what GW wants. An expensive hobby that requires/incentivizes periodic long term purchases to complete an army.

What I was surprised by the newest pre-orders was that the 40k releases are somewhat reasonably priced. Necron Warriors for $45, Hexmark for $35, Firstrike Servo-Turret for $35, Invader ATV for $40.

Space marines are a given but I doubt we’ll get chapter specific boxes this year. Necrons again since they’re the post bad guy this edition, another Cadian boxset with pretty much the same content as last year. An ork box that doesn’t contain a squad of nobs (optimism I know) and chaos space marines with again nearly the same content as last year.

All priced £125. We could possibly see a Sisters box this year but i’m doubtful that will happen.

If you don't have a hundred unbuilt nobz laying around then you're not a real Ork player.

gargant prices are a big ouch even as an AoS fan. Sad part is I’m pretty sure someone is gonna buy a whole army.

I don't have my copy of the codex, but some of the new successor chapters look cool. I just find it hilarious that the salamanders successors are
A)wannabe word bearers and literal book burners
B) wanna be minotaurs, but answer to crawl
C) a chapter that spent a little too much time hanging with blood angels.
D) captain ahab

The krakens are my favorite tho.

They do sound pretty awesome, with that whole deal of "Find the biggest, nastiest thing and take it down". Wonder if they have anger management issues... Also, seriously, Black Vipers for a name for guys notorious for having a skin color darker than Abaddon's soul?
 
Did anyone get their October voucher yet?

We have different definitions of "reasonably priced." Necron Warriors are the basic bitch, entry-level infantry unit. Ideally, they should be cheaper (and therefore more accessable) than other Necron products.

I assumed that the warriors would have been $60 as is unfortunately the norm for new troop infantry, so seeing them be around the price of a tactical squad was a surprise. I was under the impression that pretty much every new unit would be priced in the $50-$60 range so to me that is a reasonable price considering I believe the original kit was nearing $40.
