Sigh, another hit to the wallet this month. Thankfully I was never a fan of the Pestigor or Khorngor, so at least that’s a ‘partial’ saving.

I'd be excited about this if I collected Beastmen.

If they're resin they'll probably be around the price of Chaos Chosen (£25.50 in the UK) - but as these are oooold models they were never converted to Finecast so were probably metal. There's not many 5-man infantry units left in metal - Skaven Plague Censer Bearers are the only WFB one I can find, and they're £20 - so I'd guess that'd be their rough price if still in metal.
I'm definitely going to get the Wargor BSB; I might get Ghorros if the price isn't extortionate (unlikely - it'll probably be £25 like Kurt Helborg, and possibly the warhounds too as they have more character than the current plastic ones.

Hmmm... That'd mean ~$200 USD + tax for a unit of 30 Khornegors...

Welcome to GW. No wonder why people didn't want to play this game... EDIT: And 30 is small!

Welcome to GW. No wonder why people didn't want to play this game... I harass/mock the GW prices as much as the next bloke, but I’ll pay it here. In this case. You can’t get these exact minis anywhere else and I think they’re really nice. Math check? 1 pound sterling = 1.29 USD. So, if a box of 5 dudes is 20, then it will cost me $25.80 plus S&H, yes? I totally unrelated news (not really, sarcasm) my Thanksgiving week hobby project is replication. I have a large supply of Alumilite Liquid Mold Making Rubber, and a large supply of Alumilite Amazing Casting Resin, 2-part. I shall attempt to fine tune to process of recreating nice metal solid 1-piece miniatures in the comfort of my own home. [1] Take the pewter dude, [2] make a mold, and [3] pour some resin and make a copy. Rinse, repeat. I think those Pestigors are a perfect candidate, based on their poses. Cue mad scientist laughter.

Sadly, no. GW doesn't use conversions, they use pricing brackets. To find out what something is in USD, find another UK product with the same price, then look up that product on the US site.
In this case, something that's 20GBP is 33USD.

That was more me pondering what I'd need to spend, luckily I get paid again in the middle of that week to add to what's already set aside since they announced this round.
30-35 is the standard for most my units, very rarely have I ever needed more than that.

Waiting with curiosity as to the $Aud Gorthor price.
Fortunately I've never likes the Pestigor and already have some khornegor.
I have a proxy Ghorros.... But if the price is right......

Welcome to GW. No wonder why people didn't want to play this game... EDIT: And 30 is small! I lean towards not worth it as well. 300 for one unit is really pushing it. Feels like something I'll never get my money's worth.

Hmmm, Khornegor are the same price in NZD as Skyfires. Not sure if I can drop $210 + tax this week...

The banners are really nice but sorry this price is stupid. If I ever start beastmen I will by chinacast.

I have picked up Ghorros and Gorthor for completion and though I fancied the hounds, as they are great models, I’ll never use them with Beastmen
