Oh my, so many shiny new toys! Those models are really good, but I must say, if I were to choose a second army, I would probably choose Basileans. They are the better counterpart for my evil Undead. Good, clean, disciplined and holy. They offer the better contrast. And the new Phoenix is great!
Just pre-ordered the rulebook and the magic/item cards!
Pre-ordered the Gamers Edition Bundle, just couldnāt resist

I wasnāt sure about the objectives. I bet they are the ones from Vanguard and Iāve got them already. And also donāt know what the āNerve diceā are.
Yeah, Iāve got those too. If they are the same, so be it ^^
Would have been nice to see a picture of everything included, like the nerve dice, but I like to support Mantic, so itās somehow worth it anyway.

Im a huge Mantic fan- but some of their actions I just donāt understand. $40 for 5 Tundra Wolves? WTF is Mantic thinking? What a waste of time/effort. GW has way better Fenrisian wolves at same price. That effort could have been used for Elf Drakon Riders or Ogre Siegebreakersā¦ā¦
it is $30, and they are all metal. if they could do them in plastic iām sure they could undercut GWās price (currently $35 for 5 plastic figures. which is certainly way overpriced like most GW products)
No its not $30, its $39.99 USA I just came from their site , unless it is an error. Same price as GW and inferior models, I donāt want to derail the thread, so Iāll just let it go. I support Mantic in most things.
huhā¦ iād forgotten the site defaults to the british pricing when i go there. you are right. american pricing it is $40. but british pricing has it at Ā£24.99, which is currently $30.
Yeah, I agree. I don`t understand why the starter is 25 Ā£ more than before. At 50 or 60 Ā£ it would be great deal, but at 75 Ā£, I have to think really hard about the purchase, especially when I have to pay for shipping extra 25 Ā£ when ordering direct form Mantic.
I really hope ānerve diceā are not special dice for KoW.
I detest special dice, it makes game that little bit less accessible.

Agreed. Special dice almost put me off Warlords of Erehwon.
They are shown in Ronnieās 3rd edition video. Regular D6 with KOW symbols.

Two thoughts on Mantic pricing:
-
The way they āconvertā between pounds and other currencies is dumb and bad, especially when theyāre pulling a GW / PP and wanting people to go directly to their site for stuff. Why in the crap not just use actual conversion rates instead of gouging? I seriously donāt get it, and would expect it from GeeDub not my friends at Mantic.

Iām pretty sure Mantic is moving away from the early days of Minigaming On A Budget, a pricing scheme intended to compete against the Dub back before KOW 2E became real post-WHFB. And good for them, especially as their sculpt quality and, on the whole, material quality has gotten better. From what Iām seeing, as a person who buys mostly boutique resin these days, KOW 3 prices seem fine. Especially if the material is good. If itās too much for peeps, there are still cheaper options around (Reaper Bones, old Mantic/Dub, tanking your MMC, etc)

Order in your local currency and you get free shipping.
For the sake of argument hereās a rough comparison:
(assuming prices based on current structure)
Clansmen Ā£20 x2
Snow Trolls Ā£18 x1
Hunter Ā£8 x1
Scarecrows Ā£30 x1
Butchers Ā£18 x1
Horror Ā£8 x1
Rulebook Ā£20 x1
= Ā£152
So thatās a 50% discount off RRP, give or take. At worst, if the prices were different, itād drop to 40%.
Conversion rates for prices donāt match exchanges rates because the costs for bringing those products to different regions also donāt match exchange rates. I mean, itād be lovely if they did, but thatās just not the case.
Also, the exchange rates change hourly so as soon as a price point was selected, it would need updating again.
Just letting the exchange handle it seems to work fine for all the European companies I buy from (Mierce, Puppets War, Green Stuff World are the usual suspects). Mantic - and I think GW - are the only companies I buy from that set regional pricing. Also: something something Iām American, I donāt pay VAT something? Anyway, this is getting kinda OT.
@Mantic: 3E stuff looks good, keep the hype train coming!
