At last! I was waiting for the giant giants to be released sice their first preview back in... April? Good to finally get them. The kit should have enough leftovers to pimp at least one or two regular giants, so that double box should come in handy. Not sure if I really need it though, already sitting on half a dozen giants... Exactly. I love the look and potential of them, I'm just not 100% sure how I'd use them. I already have two regular giants and one Bonegrinder Giant. I WAS contemplating a Frost Giant slave for my Ogres. A holdover front their war with the Titans.

GW look to have stepped their pricing up another level with their recent releases, e.g. new giant at £120, 5 x AoS high elf hammer infantry at £36.50. It's nothing to do with miniature size (Glottkin = £70, and is the same height + bulkier than the new giant). I don't know how the new giant compares in size with the ugly elf cow giant but that now looks a "bargain" at £68.
Regardless, I'm still tempted to get one of those new giants - eventually. I can get it at £90 from Dark Sphere - still expensive, but I've paid that kind of amount or more for Forge World and Mierce models, and the giant is a great sculpt and comes with lots of spare bits I'm sure I will make use of.
I don't have one of the Forge World Bonegrinders - that sculpt never appealed to me, so the plastic GW one works well as one for me.

Yeah, I won't be paying a price tag like that. Even if I absolutely loved the model.

Well, at some point I want the new GW Mega Gargant. I just love the kit. For the time being I can wait though. It makes sense for a 3000+ points army, and I am faaar away from that in terms of painted models.
One day though...

I talked two friends out of starting warhammer a few weeks ago.
The prices are so brutal.

NOOOOOOO! (unless you were talking them out of Aos)
There are so many options now for third party miniatures. no reason to pay GW (or silly ebay) prices. ...unless you are attached to GW for nostalgic reasons like many of us here.

They were thinking about 40k and would have bought official GW stuff I feel like letting a friend start a GW game is worse than getting someone addicted to street drugs.

I think it really comes down to commitment and resources. If they are just "meh" about the game or flit from game to game all the time, then I won't recommend Warhammer. If I know that they have a hard time with money, then I'll offer for them to use one of my armies while they "work on theirs".

depends on what they do with their extra money too, if they are gonna go to a bar and get like 100$ of drinks every weekend, turning that into some models isnt a huge deal imo
