Warhammer World New Army Offer

[MARK0SIAN]

WHW Page

An offer where if you’re starting a new army you can get some free stuff if you spend certain amounts.

 

It’s probably not relevant to most as you have to buy it in person at Warhammer World but might be useful for some. 
 

It’s more notable as it’s pretty rare for GW to throw in freebies like this.

Finger maths, its £430 minimum buy in and £90 of discount/free stuff. As you're likely to be unable to get the 2 characters exactly under £30, in real terms a 3rd party offering 20% is cheaper overall unless you specifically want FW or direct items.

 

Nice idea just a really weird clunky implementation.

 

If it was a permanent nation wide thing tied to your WH+ account and it renewed once a year, it would get me shopping directly. Or they could you know... offer 20% off the total order if your basket has a starter product + rules for 2 months to a max value of £500 and have the same outcome with fewer hoops really.

The best option financially seems to be 2? Spend £130 and get (up to) £30 free. That's £160 for the price of £130, or a discount of 81.25%. And you have to buy it all in person at WHW...

 

Edit: and that assumes you can get kits worth exactly £30+£40+£60, and a character that is exactly £30... which would be unusual...

 

Thanks, but I'll continue buying from Wayland*... 80% of GW price, I'm not restricted in what I'm required to buy, and as long as I spend £20 or more (are there any GW kits less than that amount?) they post it to you for free with tracked 48hr delivery!

 

*or your preferred discount retailer.

 

 

Edit: from the blurb below, I think you can do any of the 3 options, it's not all or nothing?

Yeah I don’t really think it’s worth doing over a 3rd party where you get a discount anyway. 
 

You can choose any of the 3 options which made me think the freebie for row 3 might be a misprint as it’s the exact same reward as row 2 but you have to spend a lot more to unlock it so you’d always just go with row 2. It would make more sense if the freebie for row 3 was a character under £40 or something.

I had been mulling over taking another trip up to Notts with Jr and that's the only way we'd take advantage of this offer - he's got some GW vouchers to spend. If he got more at Christmas and I could get him to settle on a 40k force that is still suffering under a 10ed codex then it would be a fun trip. They'll need more stock on the shelves than the last time we went there though.

 

What I won't be doing is paying over £180 for a 3 hour painting session with 19 other participants.

Bah! 

 

Not even Warhammer World wants me to build Knights!

 

(Not that I could physically get there or anything.)

 

I wish our local Warhammer stores would do stuff like this.

This would have been helpful when I went over to Warhammer World a few weeks ago  Doubt I can justify another trip. 

 

I wonder if the Warlord offer is meant to be more than the Commander offer, but they made an error in the picture, as you'd be spending more at a minimum for the same voucher.
