At least with Warhammer, your minis are typically worth something when you're done with them. I'm currently painting 30 year old Dwarfs and if I didn't want them anymore, I could find them a nice home quick for a stack of cash. Printing might be cheaper in materials (only if you print literally thousands of dollars of stuff), but I just want to tell the folks that GW minis do hold their value; even upon being "squatted" whereas 3d prints are so numerous and competing that every one is essentially valueless unless you take commissions for people. Basically, if I'm tired of my Tyrranids, there is a demand and going rate and lots of people trying to buy them, so even though they were a few hundred to buy, I'll probably be able to get a few hundred out of them; at least a portion of it. Something to consider; sort of like a Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus situation. Ones a lot cheaper, but is worth nothing when you are done using it, whereas one is a lot pricier, but a lot of people like it so you can get 6 - 7K for it when it's time to trade it in compared to the $500 for the ford with the same years and miles.

So Killteam is now on the same tier as the 40K game, due to the popularity. So it now gets 40K pricing. It's no longer a gateway game to the 40K universe, it's a standalone product attacting and retaining consumers on its own merits, without necessarily pulling them into 40K.

[@MrSkullhead1]

Exactly this. GW found that the so-called "introductory" game was very popular in its own right and decided to aggressively monetize that popularity. They then jack up the price for the individual teams beyond all reason to make the big box look like a "deal."

[@bassistcz]

Splitting the box would be easier if there was a bit of doubling up of items. Like with the Conquest 2 player starters, they properly anticipate the split and provide 2 sets of rulebooks, quick start guide, measuring tools, maps. So you can split it and both players get an army and what they need to play. Do another Conquest video please.

Insted of full price, 3d print them it would save a whole lot of money

I recently learned that youre apparently a Minnesotan, and now i really wanna get a game in with you lol. Yeah, as soneone who just started and Imperial Fleet force thats heavy on Navy Breachers and Arbites, the new pricong has me terrified. Also the 4 year shelf life thing. When they drop out of Kill Team and are no longer for sale, will they get repackaged for Agents or just go legends and invalidate my new army

The Moonstone starter is £65 (~$86)...

the inquisitiorial agents have 6 models in the box so they better not go up by much

As long as the numbers go up GW will continue to raise prices. Eventually when no one buys the products anyone they will claim that it was the consumers fault. GW is not your friend, it is a company that has found a way to make your money theirs and they will not stop anymore than any other addict would suddenly quit. We are the high they ride.

Hearing this makes me glad i stopped playing a good decade ago. I would've considered going back in with KT or Necro' but seeing those stupidly overblown price hikes definitely makes me think again and not want to. Not only are the price differences weird and unexplained, but repackaging the "generic" sprues with no extras but for a different price is so perfectly GW too... As a community, we just need to start going on Ebay and 2nd hand kits from local stores etc. Make GW regret their avarice.

So kill team was how I got my friend to play. He has legionaries and hearthkyn but I used compedium tyranids almost exclusivly until just a few months ago I finished my Hunter clade adeptus mechanics. I also had a box of custodes i used once. See the issue? None of my teams are in the game anymore. (EDIT: I do see that hunter clade will be getting free rules now. Stil though I played nids mainly lol) I do have just loose space marines I could probably use for angels of death but i didnt see myself playing them anytime soon in kill team. Now its the only option ill have if I want to continue into this new editon until/unless they atart doing bespoke teams😮

The new KT is basically everything wrong with GW now. They are not trying to grow the community to make more revenue. They are just slowly killing off the community by jacking up prices and trying to make those invested pay more and more. I got my friends into 8th edition by selling them on start collectings which could be $100 all in hobby stuff included to start. Now you are looking at like $200 on the cheap for the same experience. I know a lot of people say just buy a single kit, but thats such a hard sell especially when you are telling people to spend $60+ on a single kit with 5-10 guys they have to build and paint. Giving a good deal like the old start collectings helped soften the blow of $70 for a bunch of models because you would say hey its $70 but you get usually something like a 10 model basic infantry, a character and a big thing like a smaller vehicle or monster. For $70 you can make people see the value in that. I don't know how you can even sell people on kill team when its $70 for just 10 dudes.
