M@verik115 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Im considering getting another guard force now. Will probably buy 2 more kasrkin squads and either some vostroyens or valhallans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'm torn between them being metal. On the one hand it's a more durable material than fine cast but the cost is going to be increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually looking at it from a purely production point of view, its pewter which is actually quite cheap and pewter casting on a small scale is much cheaper than plastic casting.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'd love to get more kasrkin. Especially if they're in metal. It would make my designs on a Solar Auxilia Army even better, since it'll give me special weapons to work with (grenade launchers as rotor cannons, flamers for flamer sections, and lasguns for lasrifle sections). It'll be a heck of a lot cheaper than buying forge world and it would still look proper Solar Auxilia (as I'm currently converting kasrkin lasguns in to volkite chargers). I just need to get a baneblade now... This makes me so happy. I'd have settled for plastic Kasrkin, but this is almost better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@verik115 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I just noticed that GW dont do any more pewter kits. These will all be resin.... Lets hope not finecrap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Here they are comrades, £25.50 for the 10 Kasrkin isn't so bad. The existing 10 man metal squads are all £20.50 with the exception of the Tallarn, who are £25.50 for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Oh yes! Will definitely have to get me some Kasrkin, at least one squad. I think their price is actually really good.. I was expecting £30 plus. Will be getting myself a Lord Solar Macharius too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 £10.50 for the special weapons is quite good too, though I'm wondering about the other Tallarn specials? I'm sure there was a grenade launcher one at the least? :confused: Apparently GW says they're about for 48 hours, and will stay longer as people buy more? Seems a bit weird, if it's that time sensitive I don't know what my chances are given this was unexpected and I'm not able to drop lots of money on all the stuff I'd like...

Inso Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 The price of the Kasrkin squad is extremely good. Some of the singles are a premium price but that is only to be expected for an 'on demand' service. I'd say this is a little victory for both GW and consumers :) The time sensitivity thing seems a bit daft at such short notice though... but I guess it's GW and they like to be a bit odd :D!

UltraRich Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ive just ordered a set of the Kasrkin and special weapons. They can form part of my PDF Just need to off load the scions now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The existing 10 man metal squads are all £20.50 with the exception of the Tallarn, who are £25.50 for some reason. Holy cow. That comes out to about $31USD. That's much cheaper than you can get them secondhand. I'll most definitely be getting some, if they release stateside (i should hope they do). I'll be getting a couple squads at least, to make my self a Solar Auxilia Lasgun Section, and maybe a flamer section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackedDuck Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I would buy these but they I think they would look out of place alongside my scions :/ (I like to get use out of all my models) which is a shame because they would be super fluffy in my cadian army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Nice work Rich, that will help buy time for the "reinforcements" to make their numbers count for the continuation It'll also be good to get first hand experience of how the process works as well as how the models are (also selfishly looking forward to seeing you paint them!) I would buy these but they I think they would look out of place alongside my scions :/ (I like to get use out of all my models) which is a shame because they would be super fluffy in my cadian army I'll be using mine as carapace Vets, plus the odd Inquisitorial retainer - there's room for both if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The Announcement is up on the US site, and the 10 man Kasrkin are currently sitting at $41.25USD. That's about $10 more than I anticipated given thee exchange rate. Still cheaper than you can get them secondhand though. Might drive the secondhand prices down though since people won't be willing to shell out $50-$60 for a squad of 10, when they can get them $10-$20 cheaper. I still intend to get some (a few really) to flesh out my solar auxilia force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@verik115 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I got myself 1 extra squad of kasrkin and 1 set of special weapons along with some more vostroyans and some special characters for my army. Cannot wait :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsacon Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I hope that this is the beginning of the return of the old Mail Order Trolls.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 If they're made to order, they'll likely sell out quickly. That's not necessarily an ill omen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 The remaining models are only available until tomorrow according to GW, so I'll be raiding tonight methinks. BoP will be out for a while so it makes sense to jump on this first. The question is how much do I buy? There's lots of awesome but only so much money to go around... GW if you're reading this - this is why we want advance notice on things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
