GW only think about money , not about the hobby. Thats why they will eventually die if they dont completely change everyone that is in change of running that stupid company.

angryboy2k:

look at the empire soldiers box set, you need what 20 models, erm thats �24, before it was �18 for 19, big difference there, �6.00 for an extra model

This_Is_My_Boomstick!!
Yes, but we weren't talking about the Empire soldiers box. You mentioned the Orks TWICE.

Anyway, for an extra unwanted non-sequitur, the new Empire models are crap.

This_Is_My_Boomstick!!:

well 1 was about the ork clans going :frowning: boring

true abou the fishmouth empire

ok the orc boyz, true you do get… what is it 3 different heavy weapons and a nob + 6 current orks (i think), you need what, a unit if 20 to make them effective, so thats 2 boxes already, if you want 3 hvy weapons of the same type, unless you trade or buy of ebay, thats 3 boxes, soon mounts up

at the moment 20 models for �24 for a unit

on ebay you can get 32 new orks for �24.00 by looking around (they arnt changing the orks), you can get ork nobz and weapons very cheaply at the moment

I had assumed that the second time you mentioned 10 figures for 12 quid you were referring to the Orks again. My mistake.

The new codex limits you to only one heavy weapon per ten boyz. Since I believe there are two or even three (rumor has it there's a burna in the box even though it's not a legal choice) heavy weapons per box of ten, you'll always have the choice. You can even go back and refit some of your "16 boyz with no heavy weapons boxes" if you want to.

The old packaging meant adding metal nobz and heavy weapons to your plastic squads. I think the cost would have been higher.

Completely irrelevant since the point is GW's current prices, not the second-hand market. I expect that once the inevitable surge of interest in Orks declines somewhat the new boxes will also be available on eBay at a lower price anyway.

Kera foehunter:

Well is it just gw or all company think the same way now !!!

wallacer:

I would have thought it more likely that GW would be bought out, rather than simply disappear.

Similar to what happened with the D&D franchise.

BLOOD AXE:

Changing the White Dwarf magazine into a catalog hasn’t helped. They are alienating old players who helped make them the company they are today. The prices are constantly rising. They might as well make the figures/army lists $1 per point. Its getting there.

Things need to change.

Kera foehunter:

wow dont say that blood axe they might be reading this

Uzkul Werit:

I’m so glad I rarely buy anything and when I do, I’m tactical about it. Two units of Plaguebearers normally cost seventy odd pounds. Converted from Orc Boyz however … grins

Kera foehunter:

well i dont buy much eather the last thing i bought from gw was a set of dwarf minners.

i like to trade with my friends.
