m_r_parker Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Whilst it's good to have different elements of the same company on a consistent website (and tbh I would love to see 360 degree views of the FW character series on their website), I would much prefer to see the two utilise the same delivery / postage capbility and pricing. If GW main can ship orders to your local retail store free of charge, why can't FW do the same? If he GW threshold forfree delivry to your house is £50 (not sure on the exact value), then why does FW have the threshold at £250 and a ludicrous postage % rate below that? Working in the IT industry I can see the benefits of the website / webstore consoliation, an the associate business case - but as a consumer the postage associated with FW when compared to GW is my major bugbear, and I would rather see this get prioritised before consoildating the webstore.

Daemon2027 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If FW changed their delivery I think I would die. It's my only gripe with them. I mean I could order from them, and GW at the same time and get the GW stuff long before the FW. I'm sure the warehouses are next to each other.

Charlo Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'm pretty sure a combined webstore would open up that option. I miss the old bits catalogue, but we all know the story of how the shelves were knocked over and sorting it out cost too much money. So they melted it down into krootox and dragon wings ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/6/#findComment-4130402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1000 Sons Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If the early rumours are true and this is a 2 player with two 10 man marine units, two 5 man terminators units, two contemptors, and 2 warlord models, it is about the same content as Dark Vengeance and Age of Sigmar. DA was 125(can) and AoS was 150, if it lands in that price range I think it will be good, I hope they don't go with FW prices and the box suddenly costs 300+ dollars.

Fire Golem Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 If they're combining the two websites, will we lose the news and previews we get from FW? There's none of that really from GW.

Fangbanger Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 There has been talk of combining for ages and FW being in GW stores. They are obviously trying to get it all under one roof. They are the same company after all. A combined website makes a lot of sense no?

If the box features those models it will be a great purchase. I think all the models could make for a great starting point to a Heresy force. I doubt it would be two mirror forces, however - one is likely to have Termies, the other a Contemptor.

I've never been a fan of the MKIV armor, actually the MKIII armor was what drew me to actually think about making a HH army. So I am in support of this as well.

Remus Ventanus. Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Does anyone think FW could be the ones selling this instead of GW? My manager speculated that maybe he is only producing the attic for FW to sell. Hasn't FW done the same for GW?

Streamlining is the most effective and expedient way of fixing the tangled mess that is the current rules. I would rather the put in the effort to fix it all; but if this means less rules debacles/power fluctuation and the toxicity generated from it I'm in. Really want to see the supposed rules. It's definitely not going to be the Horus Heresy proper, the amount of books so far and left to go won't allow it, but a skirmish game sounds fun. Also I really want to see the plastic contemptor.

Remus Ventanus. Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Seems like that will split the community of they make their own rules.

Slips Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Very hmmm indeed. In terms of rules, no matter what they release I'm sticking with Forgeworld. For models, if they do the legion generics well enough, cool, more models for money. Though I am worried about just what theyll transition to plastic if the rumored range expansion goes forward.

Daemon2027 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 If they introduce those style rules it won't stop you playing with FW's rules. The HH has always been an expansion on 40k, when the last edition came out it moved slightly further away, but FW didn't rush to change stuff like army organisation. So if this box set is a skirmish style game or uses AoS rules doesn't mean FW will suddenly change all their stuff to match it. It will just give us another way to play.

Kriegriss Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I doubt a rule change will happen the AoS was created to reinvent fantasy because no one wanted to spend 900 dollars to get 6 40+ model units and play 7 hr long games for people that played fantasy for 20 yrs it was fine but a hard to break into 40k sells well and heresy stuff sells well enough that they may go plastic for core choices to make it reachable for starting out if forge world has created a brand that people like I think they will try to preserve it it will popular models that go plastic ie troops termies and contemptors the other legion specific things will stay resin in my opinion because they can't get a profit margin by volume that they can on generic things they also might be doing this because of the discontinuation of so many fantasy lines will free up production space in many of there plastic injection machines please give me plastic breachers I promise I'll buy at least 40 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/6/#findComment-4132827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
