It's an impressive sculpt and solid rule set. I'm almost tempted to pick on up for Wrong Eye.
And yes, Forgeworld. I wonder if they're going to retroactively make the other huge based models BAHI only.

I would hope not :/ It seems like an excuse to force players to buy directly from PP and I have serious problems with that as most of my purchases are from LGS store orders or online orders. also...ummm are they not supposed to internally playtest these things first? I thought they told us that was why they wait to release the rules.... Seems like they are really excited about this dracodile release. Beautiful model though.

So does this mean I have to buy big things from America? Because the Import Charges will be crippling.
Unless it doesn't apply to the Rest of the World, or suppliers can buy from BAHI.

Seems like they are really excited about this dracodile release. Beautiful model though. They talked on last Primecast about how the Blindwater CID went super smoothly and they got a lot of valuable feedback early. I wouldn’t expect many, if any, changes on Blindwater models before they release.

ankiseth ah I don't listen to prime cast. I feel like its just one big "hey buy all this new stuff" announcement.

Yeah I only listened to the ten-fifteen minute chunk they spent talking about the CID.

So my knee-jerk reaction was "why are they undercutting LGS'" but I kinda get it. Reading between the lines a bit it sounds like huge bases don't have the best profit margins and stores are probably wary of stocking them given how long they might sit; I know a few stores around here that have been sitting on BEs for years. It also sounds like they end up making more than they can sell just to get enough stock to go around. I do wonder if they'll apply it to old models as well or just future ones and I'll be keeping an eye on the pricing and International shipping but I'm not sure this is a terrible idea. If it means they can do smaller runs and no one ends up sitting on excess stock then that's a good thing, and in theory it could keep the prices on huge bases down for us too; the Dracodile is 20USD cheaper than Old Witch 3 after all.

Smells GW strategy. Direct order over LGS support.

Customs means VAT + import charges + bureocracy charges... No way it's cheaper than LGS. This is a giant kick in the balls. LGS are reducing support all over from what I read and hear.
I don't get it.

At least it's free shipping I guess, but I don't like seeing PP treading the same path as GW.

I think it's worth talking to game shop owners about their thoughts before we get mad about them undercutting stores. If they aren't selling at stores and stores just don't want to risk stocking them then they probably don't care. I know it's always tempting to start crying GW every time a minis company does something we don't like but can we try to think about this one first?

Are they saying that the only way to get those models is through the PP webstore? As in : i cant order them via local store or web retailer?

Correct, looks like all huge bases from now on will be PP store only. Looks like it wasn't financially viable to produce enough for everyone's stock, especially when a lot weren't selling.
