Thing for me is that I currently dislike GW with a passion despite years and years of monetary investment (3 editions Space Hulk, 2 large Warmaster Armies, 2 huge 40K armies, 4 huuuuge WFB armies, 3 Epic armies, 3 bloodbowl teams, Dreadfleet, heroquest, advanced heroquest, multiple rulesets) it goes into thousands and thousands of pounds. As a curiosity I checked this morning and a full set of all Descent content is about £800.
So for me after investing all that money and loving the background and flavour, it was lovelly to get something in this world manufactured by a better company than GW. I loved the idea. It was the setting more than the mechanics for me. If it re released in Terrinoth Im not sure I would buy-in.
I wanted my WHQ
I am not buying Silver Tower, nope sirreee
Warmaster! I had a couple armies for that, terrific rules system - the clever guys who designed the game left GW and wrote Bolt Action.
As for Silver Tower, in Australia retail it is priced at an insane $265 (!!!) - compare that to Star Wars Rebellion which is $170.
So its true then that AUS has terrible game prices then? Because Rebellion is only 80-100 USD over here, compared to your 130 USD (converted from AUSD)
