And I'm weighing if I really need to eat all that much during the rest of the month...
I just recently got into Trolls and got few nice deals so I've got loads of those I still need to test, but I just want to play King of Nothing and Heretic ;____;
I didn't participate in the CID and don't know much beyond reading the cards on Warroom, but I'm pretty hyped. Is there a good way to run KoN with Hollowmen (never had recursion before so I want to try them out if I end up buying the box)? I heard there was a spammy list with KoN in Dark Menagerie?
How ya'll doing?

290 down here in new zealand xD That seems about right, converting $199 USD to NZ pesos. Whereabouts in NZ are you?

I know that Black Oil in Brno (Czech Republic) is getting a box in, and Wayland Games has a stack. Or at least Wayland *had* some. Went back to order a second and seems they are sold out. Claims to be getting a restock though... we'll see, given typical EU shortages, especially of the plastic crack.

Got mine today for 185€. Everything in the box is plastic, including the solos and the warcaster. Quality is as usual.
I've actually started to like PP plastic recently. It's not resin, but for gamig perhaps this material is unbeatable - even to styrene, although styrene (the hard plastic) can be made pretty easier.
However, pvc has advantages and it especially shows in the organic sculpts. For warjacks its not the best, as sharp corners, "puzzle"-look and accurate details make sense. However, Pvc can be cast in fewer pieces making gap filling sometimes unneccessary where as doing the same in styrene requires planning in the sculpting process and/or multiple pieces with cuts in awkward place. Also the material is very durable and holds detail reasonably well.
My only gripe with PP plastic nowadays is the price (or price/quality ratio) - it is kinda ridiculous.
I have been a vocal crtique of this material in various forums before, but have since changed my mind; every mini material has its advantages and disadvantages.

Well, I dropped into my LGS yesterday, and they'd got the stock in! A few blisters, a few boxes, and a Grymkin Army box! The army box was £160. Looks pretty good, I just need a while to put them all together

Reports on model quality and assembly – or an unboxing vid – very welcome!

The box feels rather light. When opened (mmm, new games smell), you realise that it's because everything is hard plastic.
The models are packed in little bags, each unit to a bag, Heretic seperate, solos seperate. Except Longfellow, who's sharing a bag with the Gorehound for some reason.
Condition is good. So far I've assembled Skin&Moans and the (nasty tree solo) out of the box, having concentrated on my blisters (The Crabbits look like angry skinned dire bunnies).
Pieces are all present, no mould lines in evidence, a few cases (1 in 8?) of slight flash around major joins: 30 secs work with clippers and file. The models slot together well, with locked poses as seen in several recent models, effected by assymetric slot joins. This also means that several of them could almost push together without glue.
All models look pretty good, I'll give a full report if I get the rest opened and assembled any time soon.
Sorry, insufficient tech skills for an unboxing video.
