Just for a complete laugh I did some conspiracy theory level number mashing, using what I have dubbed the Macragge Formula.

The “re-released” (lets be honest, is a reprint of the crashed ship bundled with some old sprues that needed clearing) Macragge set was priced at £90, in 2006 it was £40, accounting for inflation that should have been £64 (and thats not includeding the lack of rulebook), so a £50 increase overall with a roughly 50/50 split between inflation increases and extra revenue for the shareholders profits.

Now  if we go on the older regiment prices for Warhammer in 2006 it was about £20 a box, lets say the new starter boxes have 6 sets worth (thats not including characters or books) then it would roughly be about £120 in 2006 terms.

How if we account for inflation that £120 works out about £185 (A very possible price given THE HORUS HERESY – AGE OF DARKNESS is that and also from the SGS)  now if we account for that extra revenue based on a 50/50 increase split we get to £250.

So there you have it, my in no way anything other than wanging some numbers about price estimates:

New Starter Sets £250 (but should probably be about £185)

Regiment sets £40-45 (but should probably be about £30-35)
