@phaidknott I bet they speak to the designers to ensure all content is spread across as many SKU’s as possible.
I mean … imagine being able to buy all the rules at once ?
I bet they’ve seen the DLC/Microtransaction mania that has infected the videogame industry and they are trying to replicate that.

Sort of ‘Pokemon Rule system’ : got to collect them all …

I suspect that this is why WarCry was such a success compared to Necromunda/Killteam.
Everything needed to play the game in the box and only a few extra faction boxes needed to expand the scope of the game.
Killteam feels more like : f*ck people might like the smaller games … best make sure it gets as expensive and complicated as possible. oh … and make sure stock is limited so we can sneak in more cost increases.

@rastamann I doubt you can catch them on ‘false advertising’ unless disclaimers like ‘content may not match the images shown’ type of things are illegal in Portugal. I’d also argue that ‘buyer beware’ ought to apply to anything pre-ordered with minimal information. I’d rather not pre-order at all unless I was 99% certain all the content shown would be available.
Given that the initial information for these terrain kits was very limited (my favourite webshop only had the box covers and very little else) I’m glad that I didn’t pull the trigger and saw this topic first.

If we as a community keep each other informed by providing as much facts about new releases/preorders as possible then the impact of the kind of stunts that GW may have attempted to pull can be minimized.

If you need to be careful with your hobby budget spendings I’d suggest being as patient as humanly possible before preordering anything. There are enough of us with less budget limitations that are willing to pay the price for their lack of patience … 😀
