Any guess as to how much the new Blood Bowl will cost? Over on DakkaDakka they are saying about $60usd.

I'm thinking much more than that.

Anyone?

I have the first edition of the game (but the latest version of that edition, so it's all fluffed out and fixed). It is truly fantastic. I've heard less than stellar things about the sequel unfortunately.

I've been into blood bowl since the first ed paper stand ups. I love the miniatures game, and my 13 year old son has the xbox game and the computer game.

I wish I could get him interested in the miniatures game.

That kid has been raised around miniatures, and he has zero interest in them.

My wife is painting Konflik '47 stuff for a custumer, and my son likes those, mayby I"ll get him some for xmas.

Eh, that's a tough time. At 13 he'll have a whole heap of competition for something he may not have any interest in. My father was a big toy soldier fan, and a painter/modeler. I developed into a modeler/gamer (though completely different genres etc.) and my brother did not. No big deal. I'd wait till he expresses genuine interest before spending too much money on it!

My wife and I just hope he does'nt get interested in the wrong things.

When I was 13, I went to a hardcore show and saw Minor Threat(1981), I then embraced Straight Edge, so I did'nt get into the wrong things.

Too much bad shit out there, these days.

Sorry if my profanity broke any rules, boys.

I hear you!

And can I presume that you were a skinhead, by your name pic?

I was a skinhead from about 1983 to just before I joined the army in 1993.

I don't think there are any skins left in my country.

I am not remotely engaged in the hobby these days but if I were I think I would be pleased to see the return of Genestealer Cults.

They look like very nice kits. I'm glad I still haven't assembled the second half of my Overkill hybrids so I can mix in some different heads. The cute wee truck thing coming in a couple of weeks looks lovely too.

And Silver Tower character cards! https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Silver-Tower-Hero-Cards-ENG

The new Genestealer cult are nice, especially the saw-wielding model (nice to see an industrial tool instead of a chainsword!) - but £50 for 15 plastic models?!? Please tell me I'm missing something.
