[Deus Mortis]

Right so, trawling through GW's website today, weeping at the price increase as I have less than no money for models anyway, when I noticed this

For those of you how haven't noticed what I mean, the Venerable Dreadnought is £26 (like is was before), but the normal dreadnought is now £27. Why? To me this makes no sense. Can anyone shed some more light on this or has any similar boo-boo's made by GW?

In my FLGS they're selling the old metal dread cheaper then the plastic. Go figure.

I guess GW is just trying to push the Ven Dreads on us instead of the noramal ones... but a lot of people at my local GW have all noticed it, and think it very weird.

Seems a bit strange when the Ven dread comes with a huge pile of bits, and the normal one... Doesn't..

another odity I noticed is that both the Rhino and the Razorback are £20, why buy a Rhino when a Razorback for the same price has the same parts and some more, Im thinking they intend to drop the Rhino Kit.

 

[Marneus Calgar]

If they are gonna start dropping kits, then thats a great money making ploy... I actually admire GW for the cheek of it!

easy, ven dread is two sprues normal dread is 4 sprues, takes more tool runs to produce the old dread.

the prices rise every year in order to cover increased production costs. not every product goes up every year. whilst previous gw pricing had bands, so everything in a band would go up, and sometimes this would mean certain products might have jumped quite a bit[40-50 for example] each band only went up every 4 years. Now things can go up by a few pounds rather than having to jump a band.
this time it was the turn of the dread, next year it may be the turn of the ven dread.
