Is this worth $900?
>>
Do you want it for that price?
>>
>>43980609
10 down, 10 more to go.
>>
>>43980641
you mean 8.

I doubt the two Unknown Primarchs are getting a model
>>
>>43980713
They will release them. They will contain a box full of modelling putty and nothing more.

'for experienced modelers only'

I'm just waiting for our glorious Emperor.

Doesn't mean they can't charge you for them.

> The COMPLETE Primarchs collection

> Speculations drive everyone mad.
>>
>>43981251
No, the primarch collection 2 will just come with 8 models but cost the same as collection 1.
>>
>>43981284
That's unrealistic
The price will be higher
>>
>>43980713
Big E and Omegon
>>
>>43981303
Nah, the complete collection with all 18 primarchs is the one that'll cost £2000. £2500 for the Imperial edition with the Emperor.
>>
>£600
1300 dollariedoos!

Does the Pope shit in the woods?
>>
>>43981372
depends on the circumstances.
>>
>>43980609
No Sanguinius, no buy.
>>
>>43981303
Well they won't all be done for another few years, and factoring in inflation....
>>
>>43981372
He would if a bear was chasing him
>>
>>43980609
They won't just cost you $900 though, you need to factor in the salary of the painter or, if you're good enough, the crazy amount of time you'll take to paint them.

Because no, you're not buying minis that expensive to just slap a tabletop+ paintjob on them (if any). Unless you're some special kind of heretic.
>>
>>43980609
why dont they just attach some kind of money funnel to your wallet, that way every single penny you earn can be sucked away right into their bank account. thereby maximizing efficiency and customer satisfaction
>>
>>43982987
A Catholic bear?
>>
>>43980609
I actually own all the primarchs

They cost me around $200 from various recasters.

You're actually* saving £25 than if you ordered them separately.

*This error will be corrected with shipping.

I remember one anon once told me that FW would have models for all the Primarchs who have rules.
I wish it was true. I just want my Alpharius model.
>>
>>43983549
Fuck, all the models *before* New Years.
>>
>>43980609

I don't play this game, but do you faggots REALLY pay that much for a few shitty models?
>>
>>43983814
Nooooooooooooo.

This is a very wild case because
>FW
>Primarchs
You can buy like several armies from that money if you shop around and that's not even being as frugal as possible.
>>
>>43983852

Then what is so special about -these- models that makes them worth that much? Are they super powerful or something?
Is the game literally pay to win?
>>
>>43983881
Sorta. They are super powerful but they aren't P2W as such as they have a set point value in games and most of the better lists wouldn't make use of such a model.

It's mainly because they are very important characters in setting and it's FW so premium price for the quality you get (I wouldn't know how nice they are, never seen one up close.) I honestly don't see much appeal to them myself but each to their own.
>>
>>43980609
I'd wait until they release 8 more.
>>
>>43983881
they're very powerful but most importantly they're gorgeous models we've literally been hyped about for about 20 years. I don't mean that GW has been promising us those models for 20 years, but we've wanted them for that long, to the point where several independent manufacturers have been releasing unofficial versions of these characters for at least a decade before we finally got the official ones.

So now these models have a practically sacred status.
>>
>>43983814
You do realise is paying Lord of War, special character and forgeworld prices simultaneously

That said I would never one
because none of them are Dorn
>>
>>43984014

So they are effectively more collector pieces than game pieces.

I can understand that.
>>
>>43980609
You know what?
These things are made by Forge World, which makes the super-luxury special toys for the luxury toys company that is Games Workshop, and even for their category they're super duper special collector's items. And they're incredible models for what concerns design, details and whatever else.
So, yeah, I'm not going to scream in outrage just because they're charged $100 each. I'm not saying it's a fair price or that I would ever consider buying them (I don't even play 40k anymore), but it would have no sense bitching about their price. They're top quality miniatures for collectors, they have their own niche in the market and it's pointless to compare them to regular miniatures.

I'd be more outraged by the crappy models and mad prices GW is offering for its regular product lines.
>>
only primarch models I actually like are iron hands man and robot girllyman, so no. I wouldn't buy this.
>>

>Going to a local apocalypse match with no points values and just a set table size.
>Fielding ten sets of these.
>Squad of ten of each primarch
>Imperial guard player just starts laughing at the marine player and asks how it feels
>>
>>43980609
No, but I'll still buy it, cause I'm a slut for forge world
>>
>>43980609
only if you will get $900 of enjoyment from having them.


You probably won't.
>>
>>43986074
And then the Eldar player puts down 2x5 man dreamwalker squads and rapes you.
>>
>>43986074
> One side is full primarchs.
> The other is full ork boys.
>>
>>43981060
The primarch you want is in the pod.

Only thing else you are getting from me are Fulgrim eating an elephant
>>
No as Magnus isn't included

Also the knock offs are only $20 a piece
>>
Jesus Christ this industry is due for a crash
They're very nice models but nearly 1000 (ONE THOUSAND) dollars for 10 figures is just absurd.
>>
>>43986780
>The ork boys are piled 10 high

Quite possibly
