Tau Army Deal Sold Out! But replaced by better deal...?

[dethray]

The Tau Army deal is sold out, and is replaced by the deal below:

The only difference I see is that this deal has 4 less Kroot, no shield drone, a non-LE Ethereal and you get it only in April.

But for 15 quid less I'd say its a better deal

If only the Tau weren't so cool

[Crube]

I'd have restarted Tau (I sold my last 1500 point painted army on ebay) if the army box had been a bit better - ie no kroot...I've had enough of painting bloomin' Kroot...

That's not a new deal, just a bundle - you don't save any extra money.

[Steel_Legion]

Well you save in the battleforce, i must say, i am very tempted by this set, only thing is i dont like stringwings nor kroot, so not really for me, might start a small 400point army this weekend accually...

It is a deal actually, since you get a lot of stuff before the normal release dates. A quite refined interpretation of the word "deal", but still.

[my_name_is_tudor]

Actually, everything listed is already up on advance order, so you probably only get it when it comes out anyway. As it says, its a 'suggested army', not a deal.

[Sybaronde]

Uhm. I have the army deal now. That said, I do not have any insane contacts within GW or something either.

[my_name_is_tudor]

The army deal, or the battleforce?

The army deal is out already, yes, I have one, but the battleforce isn't. And the battleforce is what makes up the core of this army deal, along with a load of other advance order stuff.

[Sybaronde]

I was discussing the previous army deal. I didn't make myself clear, so for that I'm sorry.

[my_name_is_tudor]

What I'm saying is, that everything that makes up this deal is on advanced order, apart from the crisis suit, and the sprue, and so given that it is not a deal as such, and just a composite, I expect that if you were to buy this, you would receive the models on the same day as someone who ordered an ethereal, or commander, or whatever.

So in theory, the only thing you're getting in advance is the stealths, but even if you were to only buy the battleforce, you'd get that.

have your fun tau players, soon the big army deals shall all be dark green (the only true colour) and it will be our time

[boogle]

the new bundle looks a lot better than the Army set, dunno why it just does

You do realise that all this DA gush is starting to nark people, right?

[boogle]

dunno why it's bothering you apart from the fact it's OT

[lord_blackfang]

How can something they've barely begun to ship out be sold out? Can't they just make more? Or did it say "limited edition" somewhere (other than on the Ethereal )?

[cookiescrumble]

Poor, poor people. I actually bought the last army deal in the UK

Yeah, I'm looking forward to a Biel-Tan Swordwind army deal myself.

"You still save £20 off the individual prices with the Battleforce included in this bundle! "

Yes you do but overall the saving is about £1 by my reckoning buying these separately and adding in a Bttleforce box. Hardly VFM.

The Battleforce is well worth the cost but this, and the original army deal, to be honest don't seem such a good deal. They could have at least added the limited edition Etheral to this set, not like the mould will have self destructed after the last army deal one was cast. I'd not be chuffed at all if I ordered this and it came with the stupid 'barbell' Etheral - Working out for the Greater Good ...

Over priced at the bottom end of the range, over priced at the top end. At least the Battleforces are offering good deals.

Isn't it funny what GW staff tell you. There's a box still in Lincoln, so you have not got the last one.
