Just noticed in one the leaked white dwarf pics that the Hunter was like 70 points. I thought this kit was about 70 dollars so amounts to about 1 dollar per point on the table top. I think Rhinos and Drop Pods are now down on level also so I guess it is just the new normal. From the rumors I saw this unit cannot shoot first at flyers but also can only shoot at flyers so they made it cheap but would it have been better to maybe make it generally useful so that 40K does not become a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Having a unit that is essentially useless (I guess mobile cover is the other application) unless your opponents bring something specific is pretty lame. I hope I was just reading the rumors incorrectly.
Yeah, that's pretty bad. The other infamous example is Skaven Poison Wind Globadiers... $10 for a 10 point model.
ReplyDeleteActually, vanilla Rhino has it beat.... 35 point model for $37.50, but that's more a function of how cheap the Rhino is in-game.
ReplyDeleteRhinos are transports though not real stand alone units and I did note that I thought that they were also on this level. Ofcourse rhinos used to be like 50 points.
Deletelol, you did indeed. I got hung up on my "find expensive models" search and completely missed that.
