Warhammer 40k Christmas Deals

[Dice]

Only just gotten back into Warhammer after a 10 year hiatus, don't currently have any figures and have been quietly checking out the model range for both fantasy and 40k (the models nowadays are just amazing) and by crikey that Dark Eldar deal is mighty tempting, ALL of the figures are just superb!

If it's confirmed we can get up to a 20% discount on it then I'm totally sold!

Friends who are starting up with Warhammer all prefer fantasy though, so it looks like I might have some persuading to do!

So, what is it in American dollars? I know I can get the real conversion with Google, but it's not like GW uses the real conversion.

[Grarg]

Should be around 210US and aboot 250CAN

[MajorWesJanson]

I'm guessing $215-$240 USD personally.

[Nicho]

shame theres nothing in that de boxset i need besides the ravager

[GraemePaul]

Hey, 175€ might be a good deal, but £130 with 20% discount would be a much, much better deal.

I love living in the Channel Islands. Thats precisely the deal I can get

[Panzer MkIV]

Wow, that's a saving of 110.5 euro for that Space Marine Force

1 Space Marine Commander
1 Command Squad
1 Tactical Squad
1 Scout Squad
1 Combat Squad
1 Devastator Squad
1 Venerable Dreadnought
1 Landspeeder Storm
1 Land Raider Crusader
1 Drop Pod

Very good deal indeed

It amuses me that i think this is the first gw news thread in years i've seen that has people happy about prices.....

[Aeron]

So is it comfirmed that these deals will be in local discount game shops???

I'd love it if more deals were release - even if they were not as good value - any extra saving one can have the opportunity to make is fine with us eh guys

I know Space marines are the omnipresent army/intrest/subject from GW but why DE??

Do you think they chose Dark Eldar because (according to several recent posts i've read on here) they have not sold as well as expected and thus are trying to garner new DE players with this deal as well as shifting some stock???

Many thanks

Nate.

Anyone else noticed that the 2nd Tac Squad next to the Redeemer on the box art for the Marine pack isn't 5th legal (and it is a Tac, not dev squad, they cant take regular special weapons) .. Has a Flamer, Melta and a lascannon .. that's an extra special weapon :P

Well, we are expecting 6th, and a new marine dex normally follows soon after...........

[Killgore]

just looked at Wayland and you can get the same DE contents for £126

I hope discount webstores can get these megaforces for extra savings

If you notice, most of the DE box is first wave models, barring the venom and scourges. DE are rather popular models, so this box provides both a nice core for new players, and a bonus for vets planning to expand the force.

Why DE? They have a large mix of models in plastic making for an interesting box set. Marines see the same, with a large mix of newer kits as well.

The choice is likely because they are popular, not because they are unpopular.

I've heard from a store manager that DE are outselling Space Marines locally (first time ever) and that nationally DE are selling extraordinarily well, in 2nd or 3rd spot. So that is probably one reason.

Well, they are very nice models with good rules and a lower price per box/unit than many other armies.

[The Dude]

Just going by the Xenos painting logs they must be doing pretty well

[DarkMark]

Its a shame they didn't put a Talos in, and drop a box of Reavers. Six jetbikes is plenty, and adding the Talos, IMO, would've sweeted the pot nicely.

actually its almost completely the opposite to this
