8th Ed. Tomb Kings due in May

[novatomato]

GW have confirmed the release of the Tomb Kings in May. Best thing about it is the confirmation of them redoing their model line.

Yeah they should be sweet. However, I am a bit reserved based on the fact that the core skeletons probably won't change (too many other kits that need it more) and the prices of the recently released O&G stuff. I am not going to be paying $50 for 10 skeletons.

Actually, I have hundreds of skeletons from various places so I won't need any more of them. Might be good to add to my army with a couple of fancy new units, even if I probably won't play them again. Very keen to see what they look like.

Wouldn't they probably do it more like the skaven kits pricing. So more like 20 for £18.20? (the extra random 20p is the stupid VAT rise ¬_¬) I want to collect them as a third army, just got to wait for the book and models, not going to rush out to buy them unless they get the right model kits done. $50 for 10 sounds really steep :/

Well thats 50 Aus dollars, not US, but if there isn't a mistake in the UK website, that is pretty close to what we will pay for 10 Orc boys. They are currently listed as 18GBP for 10 models, which going on the same pricing band (not current currency conversions) makes $48 for 10 in Aus, our webstore hasn't been updated to reflect the box of 10 instead of 20 though. Savage Orcs are the same, $48 for 10.

Why would TK skeletons get boxes of 20? VC skeletons got boxes of 10, and arguably they need more than TK because they can raise above their starting number.
