Melissia Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Maybe in a few years, but not likely until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurifier Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 You'd be a wise man to not hold your breath. It's already been stated a number of times by the GW higher-ups that the older codices will not be updated to reflect changes in cost/equipment. So raspberries to us.

Melissia Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I meant something more like "several years from now when they finally get their own new codex" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppella Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Speaking of price for our transports. Is it just me, or has the dollar price of an Immolator increased? Pretty sure it was 45$ Canadian a couple weeks ago, now I see them at 50$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoremus Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 GW has generally increased prices due to the usual facts: increase in raw material prices increase in energy and transportation costs My dealer was fair enough to let us know in advance and have a special sales deadline before the increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Which is amusing given that Canada already pays more per dollar than America to begin with0. (hint, US Immolator is $35 USD. $50 CDN = $45 USD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurian Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 I meant something more like "several years from now when they finally get their own new codex" well.. according to a email I got from game-workshop custemer service we will not see any new plastics at leat untill we get a new codex and according to him that was about 4 years out -_- (witch hunters that is) wonder how many SOB players will be left by then...

Melissia Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 No clue. The longer they wait, the more the fanbase will diminish (as it does with everything that costs money to participate in). But hell, we've already waited half a decade, so I don't know how many more will stop playing the Sisters before then. There's still a good deal of Dark Eldar fans when they've waited a decade.

(hint, US Immolator is $35 USD. $50 CDN = $45 USD) Keep in mind that the disparity between US and Canadian prices is being corrected. GW released a press releas about that a little while ago - it was on BoLS too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but don't forget how long SOB players waited on their codex and D-eldar was second one out in 3rd ed, and there was no codex for SOB in 3. The current was written for the release of 4th. We have also had fewest updates done model wise. Buddy told me that he was told by Jervis at a GT (yea 3rd hand hear say I know) that they really only care to support 4 armies per game the rest are just add-ons. Has it really been a decade sense dark eldar codex came out... wow :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Codex: Witch Hunters was a Sisters of Battle codex in all but name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetSgtNamaan Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 The prices have been reduced as a part of GW North Americans plan to bring back prices in line. (Mostly to shore up the massive dip in Canadian Sales). They are now $40 CAN at my local indie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurian Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Codex: Witch Hunters was a Sisters of Battle codex in all but name. Yes I know that.. and it came out right at end/start of 3rd/4th only other codex for SOB was back in 2nd ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppella Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 That is odd than. My local GW store already did the price changes with the plastic kits. All the Battalion and army boxes dropped, as did most of the other kits. Which is why I was planning on picking up a 5th Rhino/Immolator, only to find it sitting there with a $50 price tag, instead of cheaper. I asked about it, but got an unsure answer. It was reasoned that there was a lot of spures in the box. Hence a price jump. Yeah, I was kinda puzzled as well. So, I'm saving my cash for another Forgeworld Repressor.

the jeske Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 well it depends if there are GW shops in your country if not then the chance of meting a new sob player is very small . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lost Soldier Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 There is one way to get cheaper Rhinos, buying them for allied Space Marine squads and then using them for your troops. The only drawback is not being able to deploy inside them, however jumping in first turn and driving off is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charred Heretic Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Unfortunately, no Sisters in Power Armor may be taken when marines are allied under them. I guess the woman is never on top in GWs view... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it can be done the other way around. Granted, it isn't really worth it because it leaves the Marines feeling Carjacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 and because it means you'd have to purchase Marines, and well, Marines aren't worth it either compared to the Sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lost Soldier Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Charred Heretic & Melissa I was just sort of wondering if WH/DH would get the cost of our Rino,s and Immolators (WH) lowered with the price drop in C:SM. I am not holding my breath mind you just curious. Emphasis Mine. It's not always about the SoB. I have some plans that include Rhino's or Razorbacks bought for fairly static SM squads and using them for IST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some plans that include Rhino's or Razorbacks bought for fairly static SM squads and using them for IST. If you tried that gambit on me (buying the vehicles cheaper from the SMs and then loading your DH/WH units into the vehicles), when those troops have access to the rhinos without the marines, the game would be over right then and there. You may be following the RAW, but you are clearly exploiting a loophole to get cheaper rhinos for your ISTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lost Soldier Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 It's hardly a loophole. I'm paying more for basically everything else, and by taking radical DH I am about as far from power gaming as you can get. I don't see why I should have to pay more for Rhino's without the Repair rule. You believe I should pay more simply because I have an outdated codex? One that is widely accepted to be one of the weakest out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
