Nice to see gw has cheap entry level games 🤪🤪🤪🤪 Sukubus Studio do a good Norse Team for 80 euroes. They do a nice Amazons team, Dark Elves, Vampires etc. All female teams (very Raging Heroes). I've got an old Norse team from Impact Miniatures but they aren't very good. They're a fun team to play. Kind of like a mix of Wood Elves and a more violent aggressive team (not quite a Wood Elves/Dark Elves mix but maybe more Wood Elves & something like the Chaos Beastmen or Orcs). It's a style that's hard to describe but very enjoyable when all the moving parts fit together and work smoothly. Short version: The Catchers don't have Catch. They have Dauntless instead. Can they still take 4 Blitzers? They used to be able to take 4 Blitzers but I think that changed a while ago which screwed a lot of premade team bundles over.    |

Yes but less than £130. I think bloodbowl is still cheap entry level just not as good as it was. |

Think it’s a shame that the buy in for a lot of games has gone from £50 to £100.

New Lego Star Wars came out on the Xbox. £80. Wtf.
Even cheap cd keys could only get that down to £50. I’ll leave that for the now… compared with models games feel dearer these days

Yeah but it never just the cost of the plastic team there is a team rules magazine potentially cards to make it easier to play then as you say a yeti, that’s £31+ £20+£25 so £75 they are after me necromunda money 🤣😢🤣😢

The books not essential as the rules come in the box (unless you want to use the team in dungeon bowl). I don’t bother with the cards as I never use them, same goes for star players. Majbritt decided she wanted the team so has pre ordered the team and spike mag off of waylaid games. She’s bought a third party yhetee that she liked for a lot less. Saves me forkingnout for it all lol. |

No I was good and didn’t add them in, I just can’t see why the bloodbowl teams have gone up so much, it’s almost the price reflects the lack of extra money they get from bloodbowl players

Raw materials. Energy prices. Shipping from China has increased 5fold.
And the cool plastic models are still half the price of any competitor before you add in the expensive resin ones
(I might be bitter because my electric bill just arrived)

All of which I do understand metal is now 1000% more expensive than when I started casting miniatures, but bb teams use the same amount of ene4gy, plastic etc as necromunda sprues which are £5 cheaper, this really is just gw gouging to ge5 the profit they want, they are chasing 50% pure profit
