sippin' on hater-aide I see... Yeah the price is stupid high, but if you have money and want an awesome table and crazy amount of bastions, walls, and the new fortress here you go. If you want to complain that te cost of your toy soldiers is too high, you can look into playing with toy cars, or legos, that your choice. As far as GW being a business that wants to generate profit and keep its shareholders happy, well you know they are a company not a charity and its a game of toys for grown men to play with not a nessesity. So the people with money need toy love too.

WOW nearly $200 and not even a legal army. Would have thought GW would give you a Freebie (maybe even only available in this box) General/Army leader in the box.

You could say GW just create these deal boxes to sweeten the deal for ebay re-sellers but theirs no real saving on just buying the units separately.

Not exactly inspiring stuff from the GW marketing team.

Nice fortress though!

That F!@#$ imperial warzone price is stoopid high. That's like someones rent/car payment!!!!! GW must keep going up right!!!!!! Have to make the shareholder happy, before the customers. I refuse to pay retail,or buy another GW store purchace. I will keep paying for the EBay/free shipping until GW if ever goes back to a sale style price.

Now the thing that annoys me is that, GW Oz still manage to ramp up the prices.

here are the latest megaforeces in AUD:

Ork = $295.00. If bought from US GW = $217.00

SM = $285.00. If bought from US GW = $190.00

Now tell me if thats fair..
Seriously its bullcrap. Oh well looks like ill be ordering form warstore

I see they made sure only one detail pic actually has Dark Angels manning the fortress.

there has been one since the last one I bought then as the last one I bought (got the box right next to me) is only missing the scouts.

No, I mean what I mean - the old Space Marine Megaforce from 2006-2007 for $175, released around same time as the Tau Megaforce I believe.

Sadly GW hates my LGS. They still haven't gotten my temple of skulls, imperial strongpoint, or my shrine of the aquila.

So I'm not holding my breath on the awesome Fortress.

If you mean Strike Force, it HAD a Vindicator, Land Raider, Commander, 5xCommand squad, Whirlwind, 2 Rhinos(or no whirlwind and 3 Rhinos)2 10xTact Marines and I think it had Razorback bitz too. cost more no scouts, no assault

If you mean Battle Force, it HAS 5xScout squad, 5x Assault squad,3 5xTactical, and a Rhino

That is incorrect - the old one had an SM Commander, Command Squad, and a Razorback. This one drops the commander and squad, downgrades the Razorback to a Rhino, but adds 5 more tactical marines.

Re: 40K WFB NEWS: Fortress, Brigades, and LoTR Advanced Orders

Maine — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:01:10 -0000

The old one had a Space Marine commander, 5-man Command Squad, 15 Tactical Marines, 5 Assault Marines, 5 Scouts, Razorback, Predator, and Dreadnaught.

This one has 20 Tactical Marines, 5 Assault Marines, 5 Scouts, Rhino, Predator, Dreadnaught.

In other words, it drops the Commander, Command Squad, and downgrades a Razorback to a Rhino. In return, it adds 5 Tactical Marines.

Ah, thanks. My LGS still sells the old one, so I was wondering why this was considered a 'new release'.

I must say, I'm pretty impressed with the pricing. Earlier I had pointed out that the megaforce wasn't really a savings, low and behold it's not 200 bucks, its' 175, which is a much better deal.

190 for the Ork's is also a better deal than expected.

The Fortress, however, is the super star. That's a LOT of building for 100 bucks. I can't wait to pick one up.
