£66 to get the two damsels and two of the mounted warriors (one with the lance and one with the axe).

Still tempted but I'm shunting that into a February choice (as MTO ends first week of FEB).

I'm surprised at GW's lack of images on them, considering they've clearly painted those models up new and fresh they didn't put anything more than a single angle for each one, which is really strange because if you've got your lights and model setup then adding a few more shots for marketing should be a tiny cost (esp as GW's photography is all in-house). I would have liked a few more angles, esp since models like the Pegasus don't seem to have their most flattering/easy to read angle used.

It may be the trick of only painting the half of the model which is visible. Apparently (per The Painting Phase) this was sometimes done to get pictures published in a hurry.

For those with previous experience, how long are you expecting it to take before we see the wave 1 Old World miniatures currently out of stock return?

Do you think the Forge World resins will return faster or slower than the plastic / plastic and metal miniatures?

Are there any precedents we can use to make assumptions?

You DO know they don't price by the weight don't you?

Well yeah, but there's slim justification for jacking up the price on the wizzards - the Tomb King equivalent maintains the same price as the BSB, so is there some 'woman tax' applied to the damsels?

So the wave 1 resin models haven't released in US & Canada yet so I'd say slower. I've been waiting for other, older, out of stock resin stuff for a while now.

The damsel pricing seems way off, the other double model sets are €35 but she just happens to be €40.

Annoying as I needed three sets of her as I want a couple of the foot models for conversions for another game. So now I'll have to find something interesting to do with the spare mounted versions I've gotten.

Was surprised that the BSB knight was the same price as the others, as that is a big hunk of metal. Same with the metal pegasus, expected him to be much closer to the plastic price than he was.

Overall the cost is a little high, but no more than I was expecting and def better than the 2nd hand prices.

There isn't really anything we can use to judge how long. It varies and it also varies country by country as well.

All I can say is that Element Games in the UK have a bunch of things saying they'll get fresh stock on Feb 9th or so. That MIGHT be a restock or them expecting a restock or a guesswork or an actual date.

So we'll just have to wait and see really. It can sometimes help to use a few reminder emails on different sites. GW ones as well as others so that when things do come back in you get notified.

Love those models.

FYI for US players, a Louisiana GW location announced yesterday that the stuff we didn't get(paladin on foot, sorceress, battle standard bearers) are going up tomorrow.

Still not on the website. This doesn't seem to be true.

It wouldn't be up until 1pm Eastern.

I don't understand how GW can value the skeleton horse at 11€.

That's how.

I am pleasantly surprised that the Tomb Kings on foot are so inoffensively priced, I vaguely recall the Lizardmen MTO in June 2023 had Skink Chieftains at AUD$40 a pop.

Everything else is about what I would have expected from MTO, but AUD$25 foot heroes sits well enough with me

What’s with the damsels price
$84

$75 for if you want one horse and one foot knight of any combination.

Is there something to the kit that is needing a extra $9

UK prices seem pretty reasonable, wonder what us pricing will end up looking like

The missing Bretonnian resin models went up for sale in US an Canadian today. By 1:13 pm had the items in my cart... put my credit card info in... hit "pay"...

... and I get an error. Items already out of stock.

I went through that 3 times. Put my cart together, entered my payment info, hit place order...and got a refresh of my cart because one item was now out of stock. Went through that process again, and another item out of stock. Final attempt went through, at least. So, I got the Bretonnian dice and the MTO stuff I wanted, but not the new maiden or BSB. Got my Stormhammer tank, at least, as that was back in stock. The release date is 2/10/2024 here in the US, so I'll hit up the Warhammer Cafe when they open to see what they have on the shelf. Was able to do that for the previous new releases I couldn't preorder online in time (Grail Knights, etc.).

I'm curious if the MTO BSB will be shipped before there's a restock of the all new BSB.

Yet they won't offer the damsel on foot solo...

That might well mean that its just sharing the current metal mould with the mounted version. I know GW went through a phase in fantasy at one stage of doing mounted and unmounted characters. I even have some dim recollection they might even have allowed dismounting during the game or that your mount could be killed out from under you

I remember dismounting being a thing, though I can't tell if that's because MESBG has influenced my WHFB memories or not.

Ironically, I just need the mounted one. But I'm not paying $50.00...

...not yet, anyway. Trying really hard not to break down and get it.

Wait, why is the MTO mounted damsel with a 25x50mm base? Shouldn't this sculpt be on the new base size to fit in movement trays with the knights in the army box and all the other cavalry in the army?

I vaguely remember it as a thing for characters on monsters, to cover the situations where the monster got killed out from under you. Not so sure I remember it being a thing for normal cavalry characters, though.

It wasn't for normal horses, just dragons and griffins and the like.

Thank you for bringing a smile to my face today.
Fantastic work and comedic simplicity at it's best!

I've got a distinct memory of there being at least one or two sets with a mounted and on foot for horses. I think they might have been elf kits.
It might be GW used them to release two in one sets for a while rather than it being bound to rules.

Made-to-order models are only on sale for a couple of weeks and then removed from the webstore; with the amount of photography required for regular releases, even the extra shot or two may have been deemed simply not worth it.

They did it for every VC bloodline in 6th. 2 sculpts for each (Blood Dragons might have been 3), with a foot and mounted version of each sculpt.

As far as I can remember from at least 4th edition 1 wound mounts have been treated as stuck to the rider, and not a thing in themselves. I.E. you can't direct attacks into them, and they cease to exist when their rider is slain.

This was different for things like monsters and chariots.
