Hm. Bastian is unkillable in a practical sense for most armies, but for being lord commander I expected him to be more command-ey. His main thing seems to be tanking. Maybe there will be some additional rules interaction from the 'tome.

Price list GBP confirmed others based on current GW rates

Battletomes £30 (€37.50 $50) up £5/€5 not sure on the US price being up $10 but these are the same prices for the Kill team compendium which was only just released.
Beastskewer Killbow £21 (€25 $35)
Knight Judicator £21 (€25 $35)
SCE Chariot £29 (€35 $45)
Mirebrute Troggoth £31.50 (€40 $50)
Dice sets £20
Orruk WC Warscrolls £20
SCE Warscrolls £22.50

Chariot is perhaps a touch cheaper than I'd have thought based on GW's current prices.

That's surprisingly decent all things considered.

It's probably because there's digital codes in them now.

The chariot's surprisingly cheap... gotta have a bit of a grumble about the new tome prices mind.

Surprised the Chariot and the Killbow are cheaper than the Cow Elves Ballista

Are these easy build kits like the immediate Marine and Necron reinforcements? Would serve as an explanation.

Or it's a case of GW future proofing the Chaos and Dark Elves chariots (the last new chariots I can think of) and want to keep that level for chariots for a while. Witch Elves were obscenely priced at release, but other kits have caught up to that level by now. For all we like to complain about price hikes (and not without cause either), GW seems to work with fairly long lasting price levels for comparable things that they introduce as something that is seen as a price hike for a few specific kits, and then adjust everything else gradually to that price level. So they may still think that 35€ is the right price for chariots even though that's been in effect for eight years now and Sigmarines just got lucky to get theirs before the next increase.

The answer is so far we don't know if they're EB or not.

I want to say that it was mentioned on stream that there's two builds for the chariot though.

Gonna get me some killbows oh yes.

Not as bad as expected on the Kruleboyz pricing, odd given past performance that the Mirebrute appears to not be a dual kit. At this point I am wondering if there are any options at all.

Interesting that these are dropping Saturday when most expected the 2nd week of 40k Orks. That begs the question do we get more AOS the week after or is it 40k?

These are ETB kits similar to what Marines and Necrons got after the starter set(s).

Although couple of those did come with some options.


Edit: My memory is gak and needs replacing apparently.

Do you mind citing a source on that?

I doubt, the Stormcast EtB Ballista coated like 14£ or so

Lower than i expected. Was expecting 40k level

Okay, I could swear that in the original article way back when Dominion box review stream but I thought it was written that "these kits are similar to what was relased after indomitus" but there is no such thing.

That article has probably been modified repeatedly since then for a multitude of reasons!

That's fine, I thought it was something that popped up on FB or something!

I do recall them using similar language, but it was more on the lines of "these are intended to build out the box".

Reasonable prices for GW for once I'd say. More after an almost constant streak of 40K releases.

Can't wait to see all this folks in this year's Battleforces.

I remember that the chariot had different loadouts from the preview, but of course that doesn't means is not E2B.

How many dices are on this releases regularly?

I'd be very surprised if the chariots aren't ETB



The builds look identical all the way up to the passenger's right arm/pauldron and left hand

Necron heavy destroyer was ETB and had 2 weapons.

GW is going Monopose for a long time now, identical models is also the case on full models not only ETB

I don't see the modern ETB kits as different from normal ones. I guess I need to spend a few seconds clipping off each peg. Options may not be present on full kits anyways.

At any rate, I'm cool with identical posting on the steeds (especially if the poses look that good) but a little disappointed the riders seem to be mono pose. But I would still prefer a good mono to a multi pose where all the options look stiff.

Prices are... well they are high but so is the miniature quality. I'd even call them reasonable. Won't judge the 'tomes until I can read the content.

Surprised the spear is an alternate piece for the bowman, it would have been super easy to make a hand w/spear to swap for the axe.

I'll definitely pick up a chariot, but I'm not sure I'd get more than one given how monopose it looks. Maybe wait to see if other people come up with some conversion ideas.

Have they mentioned if the Chariot is going to have a hero option? Or are the bow/spear variations shown above the only ones they've indicated?

Wait, are Beasts of Chaos not army of Chaos anymore?

They are, why do you ask?

It's probably just a typo, it's a GW book after all, you're not paying top bucks for proofreading.

See list of 'armies of Chaos' on second picture. Just weird omission.

Aye, that does seem a bit odd.
