That's strange, he's not on the UK site! What's $50 in pounds?......just checked, that's £29 for a single miniature!

Yeah this guy's price point is obscene! And the model is terribly mediocre even.

Are we on about this guy? https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Slambo-Exalted-Hero

If so it is on the UK webstore and as has been mentioned already he's £15 and resin.

Ouch! You guys down under REALLY get done by! That £15 is a BIG  difference to the $50 in New Zealand!

yep. If ever I really want something from them I usually buy from the UK and get it sent to a Package forwarding company. Worked out cheaper for Spacehulk.

TALISMAN!!!

Interesting! But surely FFG saturated the Talisman market? I wouldn't mind seeing a GW version of Relic, too. I enjoyed that.

I doubt they mopped up the GW market though. A nice shiny GW release with nice models would be a great alternative. It'll interesting to see whether they stick with generic fantasy or AoS it. Either way I'm happy.

It's frustrating as I bought the FFG latest edition of Talisman a few months before the announcement and then all the expansions were no longer printed and were snapped up so I've just been left with the base game (which I'm okay with).

[Elbows]

A lot of people got bit like that - I have the WHQ card game (which was absolutely based on future expansions...) and got nothing.  I ended up making up a bunch of my own monsters/quests/heroes to flesh it out.

Well at least the talisman doesn't really need expansions. I play it so irregularly that I don't think I will really need expansions. At least until my kids are old enough to play it. Which could actually be quite soon judging by how quick they are getting at cottoning on to new games.

They'll have to go some way to make the figures any worse or the art any more naff than the FFG version...

Is it actually any fun to play?

If you like Ludo with prettier playing pieces then you will probably like it, but it is basically 'roll a d6 and hope you roll high'.

You can probably tell from that statement that I have no time for it, or Relic, but plenty of people, including most of my gaming group, do like it.
Horses for courses and all that.
 

(Of course, having said that, I absolutely adore the original quirky figures for the game when it was first released in the 80's and would get it for them of they were redone in a similar style. Which aint ever likely to happen given that Silver Tower was  AOS-styled.....
