KaosRaptor Posted Thursday at 07:23 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:23 PM (edited) So I've just seen this here in NZ. Space Marine Scouts were I believe $130 but you could get them third party for $114. I still consider that an eye-watering price for 10 models, but I was considering getting them. But now, they've been jacked up to $160 ($140 third party) for the exact same models, but with some cardboard I'm never gonna use? That's ludicrous. I'm a painter, I have no interest in Kill Team. I know part of GW's pricing strategy has pretty much always involved the game rules (e.g. character/leader models being more expensive because you're only going to need one or two), but these are baseline troops in 40k, it's insane. No cardboard is worth an extra $26-30. Edited Thursday at 09:05 PM by KaosRaptor DemonGSides, INKS and phandaal 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogian Posted Friday at 03:10 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:10 PM Ah thanks, so that's the same price I think for them then - they were £47.50 before anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all the boxes from wave 2 fall into that price category. I don't see the scorpions being any cheaper. Maybe closer to the high end of that because they know you need them for 40k as well.
