I honestly thought that was the case from the get go with 3.0, so like I mentioned not sure if its newsworthy. I think the 40K app is exactly like that so the writing was on the wall, I suppose.

My experience has been that this was always the case. Orruk Warclans and Stormcast Battletomes have always been locked for me, since I never bought the armybook.

I mean it's been months and the 40K app still says that Bela'kor can only have the khorne Keyword, despite that not being true in the slightest. I just use the Warscroll builder. It does the job.

Been always that no traits, artefacts etc for free. You think gw gives full rules for free? Didn't in aos2 either.

Warscrolls you can read for free. Just like aos2. Only difference is you get aos2 rules fully for free.

Thondia preorders next week surprised they mixed it with nids

Ah you beat me too it. Guess it's because the Nid release is so small, they want to bump the week up.

Happy to see it get a quick release (I want to paint a set over Easter) I wonder if it will cost around £135 like the BZ Fronteris? we'll see in the morning.

It always annoys me that you get half of the board set with the terrain and then end up with a duplicate if you want the board set.

6 sprues of scenery and one swirly gak monster, I certainly hope this is not as hideously expensive as Sector Fronteris.

GW likely thinks that you'll buy the set and your opponent will also buy the same set and then you put them together. Or make "cool themed" boards to play on where you both put down one board and terrain set of different kinds and mix things up.

This is gonna be pretty expensive. The endless spells expansion set was brutal.

Also, I wish we had had a better Adepticon reveal. They revealed models that dropped two weeks later. : /

Or you buy rest of boards. Which are available separately

The boards come as a two pack but you already have one of those two boards from the terrain set so you end up with one of them twice.

Need 4 for a full table, though that doesn't exactly make you wrong...

So... anyone not want their Megadroth Skeleton?

Yep Thondian Strongpoint is £135 €175 $220
Seasons of War Thondia £32.50 €42.50 $55

Wait, seriously, that AOS terrain bundle is the same cost as the 40k one they put up on Saturday?

they have just done it for you so that the 40k set looks cheap compared to the AoS one so you would buy 10

They're the same price, so how could one look cheap compared to the other

It's the post-increase price band for these things. Content isn't all that relevant.

It's probably best to accept that AoS hasn't been cheaper than 40k even when it bombed with the 1st ed release. It's successful now, reasonably popular and as evidenced by the removal of free warscrolls as well as the app and army book code system that 40k has that GW firmly treats it like a money maker that doesn't need to be propped up, with all the negative sides that entails.

For those who have the RPG, what's the fluff like? Is it better or worse than what the army books provide? Does it offer a deeper look into daily life as you would expect of an RPG or is it more heroic and focused on slaying monsters?

People often speak highly of what the old Warhammer Fantasy RPG did for the setting. I'm in the market for this if Soulbound provides something similar.

So about £108.00 after 3rd parties. I can live with that. The statues and the walls are both £35 on their own and direct only currently. And when it is broken down it's probably going to cost double at least to get everything again.

It's well worth it for the fluff. It deep dives into the races and how they work and live and how the realms function. Like you would expect of an rpg.

 H.B.M.C. wrote:

because the one looks like it has more content than the other, hence it looks like one is the better bundle aka cheaper although they are the same price

 H.B.M.C. wrote:

Perceived value rather than price, perhaps?

You can see warscrolls for free from GW app though.

ROFL the price tag on this is pants on head insane. Fronteris at least covers the boards it comes with pretty well and is pretty functional (hills and barricades) while this is just 5 pretty pieces of scatter.

The ruins do block LOS nicely at least(I have used them for 40k and noticed they actually work better in 40k than official 40k terrain...) but yeah light. I have ruins by doubles already and already enough boards. Basically just the incarnate and waterfall I would want. I wait solo releases. Just too much I don't need.

Apparently solo releases are coming later.

Yes. That's why i wait for those.

Yeah the price on that is embarrassingly high, usually AoS releases are priced a bit lower than 40k releases (look at hte price of a Vanguard box compared to a Combat Patrol, for example), was not expecting to pay as much as the Fronteris box for what looks to be substantially less content.
