We have a date but do we have a price yet?

There is nothing official yet but the current rumour is that it will be $99 US or £60. That's not outrageous but still on the top end of a good price. If this price turns out to be true, I can imagine the teams being £30 each.

60 pounds is almost $75 US. I certainly hope it is not $99 US.

GW does not do regular exchange rates. No company does or you would have to change prices every day. Varanguard are £60 and $100. The rumour only listed US and Canadian prices ($120). I converted it to pounds by looking at equivalent prices on the website.

@Chiout, I never realized that! Maybe that is why I have not purchased GW in 6 years.

Do we know if we have an AUD price for this? $150 sounds about right from the current US and CAD prices, but if it's $120-$135 that would be even better. Nevertheless I'm keen for the game regardless, it's just knowing beforehand how much the wallet is going to be hit for.

Really? I'm expecting $200-$250.

I'm expecting it to be around the same price as Stormcloud Attack (~$165AUD), as if the rumored USD price is true, that means BB will cost about the same as Stormcloud Attack in the US.

Here in the UK (long before Brexit) games consoles and such regularly arrived at a one dollar equals one pound rate.

I'm thinking 50 quid for this - low enough to be bought by partners, crazy cat men etc just before Xmas as an add-on gift.

They charged $60 for Lost Patrol which has existing models (scouts and genestealers) and likely less printing costs (that's my WAG).
I'd expect it to be $100 if not a little more but would be happy if it were as affordable as $75

My local FLGS started taking preorders today. $99 USD

$79.95 at the FLGS here in good 'ol TX

Can't wait to get my copy!

My FLGS told me £65 here in the UK. He also said that the Season One supplement and the Skaven team are coming out on the same day.
The Skaven team is £20 for 12 models.

My FLGS does $5 off every $30 to to try and compete with online sales. So hopefully I see pre orders come up soon!

Previous rumors have the Skaven box hitting shelves at the same time as the core game. Has anyone seen anything from their local retail about this? My LFGS gave a "wait and see" answer which I'm not entirely happy with.

My FLGS here has pre-orders at $118. (canadian)

As the only teams I don't already own are Halfling, Amazon, Norse and Dwarfs (#NeverDwarf) I don't forsee me buying this.

The models are awesome. You might be able to snag the Human and Orc teams off eBay fairly cheap if you ever feel the desire to update your team.

Blood Bowl It's 65 Albion pounds for the box. - Jim

€85? Noice!

The box set is a little pricier than I would have liked but price of the supplement and the skaven team is good. I will definitely get a box of skaven, and the dwarves too if they are the same price.

What about the rules?

What will change from 6th Edition?

Will there be rules for all 24 teams? Will we lose some teams in the new game?

The game is really fine-tuned as is, it's difficult to see much space for change.

There are apparently very few changes to the rules. According to Atia they plan to support all teams.

It plays the same as current living rule book. Just nice contents in box, way better sculpts, easier rulebook and reference sheet. Play tested using humans and orcs but also 4 older teams and lined up perfect, no reason you can't play your existing team with this box. If your team gets resculpted then that's an option as well. The expansion book however will have the league rules so that's not in the box.

After review was posted I took this with me to an event in Chicago and brand new players made it work the first go. And with price being fair (imo) it's a baller release. Want that new dwarf team now!

I'm preordering the box set, the Deathzone book, and the Skaven team through a local store. First GW purchase in years.

Dunno who's going to need (what I'm assuming are) 10 themed d6's for Blood Bowl, unless you have four friends who are getting the Skaven team at the same time.

I was questioning that as well infinite_array.

My guess is that people who like Skaven Bloodbowl teams probably like Skaven AoS/Mordheim stuff as well and would prefer getting 10 dice for that price rather than 2?

It's not just D6. The dice set contains at least three Block dice, one D8 and one D16.

The D16 mesmerized/made the old old gamers chuckle last week. Better than drawing the number out of a cup I guess, plus...D16

Hm, bigger bases so the future Age of Sigmar teams will fit?

Look at the size of new orcs. Plus big guys like ogres.

Already up on eBay!
