The Big Poll: Helsmiths Buying Intentions

This is probably the funniest possible response - a list of six things you hate and a pledge to buy multiples - I feel like the data is consistent with certain key factors, to wit;

  1. The Bull Centaurs, foot wizard(s) and Hobgoblins are all clutch. If you consider “probably” a form of “yes”, then you’re looking at three quarters of users so far wanting the BCs and almost two thirds wanting the daemonsmith and vandals. That’s consistent with what people were saying around reveal time.
  2. The launch box units, especially the Despot, are all interestingly in the relative flop category. Of those products, only the Cohort has a 51-49 split in favour, everything else is above 50% nos, and that’s with the offset for launch box buyers. I think that’s quite telling.
    Ultimately, in future the spearhead will rotate (i’m guessing the next one will be bull centaurs and razers led by a daemonsmith) and with it will come cheap purchasing price for many of these minis.
  3. I think the big AOS wave of users that skewed the previous poll so large have reverted to their natural ADHD habitat of Discord. If we get up to the 150ish votes we got for the reveal poll, we’ll probably see more actual AOS gamers represented. They’re currently making up their minds about what roster to use based on the launch tomes, but many of them are talking about buying multiple sets of BCs.
