I'm very curious about the price.

GW: Sheesh, slap another 20% on that price since hobbyist demand painted terrain too!

In serious note, i hope this is an option alongside regular terrain and not permanent thing that replaces it

These are gonna have to be hand painted right, so the price is prob gonna be absurd

 

not to mention quality consistency

 

I've heard people talk about them almost certainly being UV printed onto the sprues.

Well, it's GW, so they'll use servitors, right?   (joke)

I really wish we'd see a return to that sort of stuff. There were some incredible pieces built from those kits.

 

I know not everyone wants a cityfight but I love them.

I want to see them in person, but cautiously intrigued. Even though I have a large unpainted terrain stockpile....

[Gorgoff]

I think those are an incredible idea.

Terrain is usually the last part players bother to paint and have so much impact how the game looks so I am all for it.

Now lets see how much they charge us.

 

And how fast the cheaper competition sells something like this as well.

 

TTcombat already sells pre painted MDF so I am very sure that a lot of other shops will do so as well when GW starts making money with that.

Wonder how much this will cost lol 

It'll be a monthly subscription of £666 a month, if you miss a payment they will take your first born 

[Marshal Reinhard]

My main question is how viable it will be to enhance the paintjob yourself with selective brush strokes....

A couple days too early for the Vostroya made to order 

[Doghouse]

I'm not keen on the finish with these and expect like a lot of people for them to be expensive. If it is UV printing (ultraviolet cured ink) it's going to be a bit rough for painting over I'd imagine.

 

Probably better to just dry brush grey over a black spray coat.

I'd be amazed if we don't get a guide to this, saying which paint to use for the edges etc after they've been clipped.

 

Looks like it's going to be 5-6 sprues per table half from the pics of stuff in boxes - current starter set has 4 sprues in it, and the Sector Fronteris Battlezone: Nachmund had about 8 sprues and is currently going for £80.

 

I reckon you're looking at £50-60 for a combat patrol board within the roughly £150 Ultimate starter set compared to the price of the just models one, or a £120 set for a full board and no models. Kind of feels that sort of region hits the better Sector Fronteris sets, with a bit of a discount as it's in the starter sets and doesn't have as many big hill-type pieces.

 

I could see £75-80 per table half though, with some discounts open to clubs/TAs etc that might want to buy more. 

 

I'm really curious if they'll go down the Kill Team route though, with three different board types (Volkus/Bheta Decima/CQC - Tombworld or Gallowdark).

Tournaments by the end of 11th ed having something like Jungle fighting/City fighting/Ash Wastes as biomes you need to be able to fight across etc.

God Damnit, they finally figured out how to get me to buy terrain.

Its going to be more expensive once they get too Legions Imperialis.

For those who didn't see the leaks prior to the announcement

Not sure if it gives any more interesting information.
