That’s Warcry points totals I assume?

Yes (and before any changes in the ToC)

Ok. What’s a standard game in Warcry, about 1000 or so?

1000 points

All of the boxes will give some options and more than one leader or hero option for example LRL also have a Stoneguard leader option, Slaanesh have a Myrmidesh Painmaster and DoK have a Gorgai and Witch Aelf Hag.


You pick 1 fighter with the leader runemark as your leader and you can also pick one other fighter with the leader runemark as a hero (you don’t have to take a hero). Then fill the remaining points as you wish from the non leader fighters. You can take an ally in place of the hero and chosen from fighters with the ally runemark and from the same grand alliance - this is how individual underworlds minis can be included (unless they update that rule for Bladeborn fighters)

Ok cool.
I think I’ll definitely try and make use of my UW warbands if I’m going to delve in to Warcry.

I guess potentially some other figures.

Price list - Euro and GBP confirmed US based on current GW rates

Tome of Champion 2021 £20 €25 $35
Thunderstrike SCE £36.50 €45 $60
DoK £50 €65 $80
Kruleboyz £47.50 €60 $75
Slaanesh Sybarites £52.50 €65 $80

Thats more than I would have hoped.
Its a 22% discount with 28% for Lumineth and DoK

I was hoping they wouldn’t go over £50, £45 ideally but there’s an exchange rate hike in there as well for the UK €65/$80 was £50 it’s now £52.50.

LRL is the best value while it’s £73 worth of actual minis for £52.50 you can’t buy half boxes of wardens or sentinels so it would cost £109.50 to buy the 3 kits. That one is going to sell out fast.

Only one I'm interested in is Kruleboyz, not for warcry, but because thats what I need to bulk out my big yellers army

Wouldn't Kruleboyz Dominion half be a better bang for your buck?

Article on “Siege” rules - attack a gate house for Warcry from ToC 2021 - attacker gets a free monster.

Ruins of Osgiliath are a good cheap kit for this (or would be if in stock)

Wow those warband boxes are pricey. $35 for the book isn't too awful with the rules for UW warbands. I hope there are cards for them, as well.

More tools for the toolbox God !

With the branched quests and the new narrative campaigns (I think the latter are the really juicy part of the book), it should be a fun sandbox for a while.

The Underworld bands are a good way for easy introduction to the game with minimal involvement, IMHO.

Good to see the narrative part is still the biggest of the three ways to play. Don't want Warcry to turn into AoS V9 "Tournament Edition" for a while, really.

I already have 2 copies of Dominion, I don't need any more of most of the box contents, as I'm primarily intersted in boltboyz with a secondary interest in alternative weapons on the gutrippaz.

Hmm ... that $80 for the Sybarites is higher than I anticipated. May not buy them after all ... And looks like buying the SCE half of Dominion is to my advantage as it only cost me +$5 more than the Thunderstrike SCE box's MSRP, and I get more variety. Most importantly, the Lord Imperitant and access to Coordinated Strike on a triple.

Between this, Necromunda and the Eldar vs CSM box... I think we can conclude that bundle dicounts have taken a sharp dive.

Gotcha. I'm just saying that there full/partial Dominion boxes available at fire sale prices. I picked up a second full box with torn wrapping and a mildly crumpled corner (no broken sprues) for 95 USD.

My local shop, which doesn't discount anything, has 10+ Dominion boxes at $125. They do a point system which earns you 10% off future purchases with tuesdays being 20% off of future purchase. I was thinking about buying the Extremis starter set (one with terrain), but another Dominion might be in the works. I can make due on terrain.

In the EU Dominion is 99€ at https://www.kutami.de/Age-of-Sigmar-Dominion-english

Free intl. shipping at 200€+

Oh man I am hyped to see all that new narrative content!

The prices on those warbands are stupid. So tired of the pricing strategy GW employs.

I'm looking at the Slaaneshi guys and it's "buy these two unit boxes, get half off the cheaper one". That doesn't sound unreasonable to me.

The problem is that the base prices for these units is completely stupid. You shouldn't pay 85€ for ten naked monopose archers and five elite infantry. That's what makes many discount boxes so laughable these days. The baseline is completely out of whack.

Also remember that these boxes come with Warcry cards and tokens which may be worthless to some but do have a value - cards used to be £6 on their own.

Above all, they have a production cost. Wouldn't be surprised it plays a part in the price rise as well, since it typically is produced in China and transport costs are completely insane these last months.

Previously, cards were needed to play because there was no other way to have the profile and cost. Now that we have books...value on second hand market has dropped. It's not really an argument anymore to try to find "value" in the new boxes if you don't intend to play Warcry yourself.

Remember that it wasn't too long ago that all the Start Collecting! boxes were 65€ which had a chunk more content and offered discounts of 40-50%.

My comment was a reaction more than anything. Thanks for stating the problem more explicitly. It was what I hoped the reader would deduce from my pricing strategy remark.

It's such a shotgun too, with similarly sized and detailed minis having wildly different prices. There are a number of 20-man infantry boxes with the same price or less to 10-man despite being largely analogous, for example.

Seems it's getting easier to not start new games...

Better yet, start games from other companies that don't raise prices yearly. {Regardless whether economic conditions require it.}

*laughs in Victrix*





And there are proper, high detail, multipart minis with weapon options, full command, a billion variant heads, etc, etc.



Methinks soon we might all be playing SAGA or whatever.
