I saw Red Harvest what I loved about was the little mining setup. In my head I went that is amazing I can use that in a ton of games why has nobody thought of doing that before. Frostgrave, StarGrave, Saga, D&D, AOS, 40K. How many times have we seen in classic fantasy films, books and Sci-Fi advetures around a mine as a central feature.
They have done it before…. they just didn’t charge £150 for the privilege (Mantic do a little one for around £20)
When you say you dont see value in any of the 40K and AOS starter. If you mean personally because your not interested in them okay. But if you cannot look beyond that and judge the quality of the models for the price you pay and see that is good value that is on you. They work out about 1.50 a model for that quality.
No, I mean as in ‘the boxes contain units you’ll never field, and also don’t even approach an acceptable points limit even if they did’. Even the ‘best value’ boxes contain around 60% of what you’d need for a full game even if you were to play all of it
You talk about firefight. But you seem to ignore the firefight set with the 2 vehicles which comes in at 152 pounds which is a lot closer to the 180 HH and a better way to compare it.
It’s actually £122.50, which still makes it £57.50 cheaper. You know what I could get for that? Some scenery. So for the same £180 I could have not one, but two 1000 point armies(with heavy and support options, unlike the HH box), vehicles for both sides, scenery and all the rulebooks I need
I keep seeing the subject of ‘quality’ being brought up and it’s really beginning to grate on me, because in the end it’s just believing the same stuff that the fashion industry has lived with for years.
This piece of cheap cotton or polyester produced in a sweatshop is better than that piece of cheap cotton or polyester produced in a sweatshop because it has a different logo on the packaging. And why do people believe that? Because somebody told them to believe it, and they really don’t want to look beyond that.
And that saddens me deeply…
