From Hype to Heartbreak: Skaventide Release is Set To Fail
The most recent Skaventide release is eerily similar to a very public GW flop a few years ago.

Forge World Proves Games Workshop Wrong, It’s Here to Stay!
The economy is not the worst it's ever been lol.. What the heck??. Your only going to turn off people when you make up stuff and try to get political with political talking points.
FOMO and Sell-outs are foul tactics and they only shovel their grave deeper with them. My 3D printers were the best purchase I ever made
Supplying enough stock doesn't create that sweet, sweet fomo that drives a lot of the sales.
I'm just printing my stuff from now on.
FLGS are in a a bad spot, most will be running super heavy on GW stock as their main income 50% or more. This means if GW fails to deliver to you for a month 50% of turn over is gone this could kill most small buisnessesm to be sustainable shops need to be able to servive with out GW income. GW market share makes that a really hard thing to do.
New to the hobby here, is this considered a full playable army? TYA
Great analysis! I fully agree, you took a rational approach and went over your assumptions (50% avg, 25% under performing, 25% over performing). It’s not perfect but it’s as good as it can get from an external perspective.
Garbage take
The guy who runs My games workshop was really smart about it he did not order any of them. He basically just told people to order it online and they can come pick it up when it arrives. But that dude's always smart he runs the only games workshop in my entire state
Uh, that shop isn't buying stock. That is literally a GW store. You ordering it from the website is no different than buying it from the shelf in that store. Its the same thing.
GW creates artificial scarcity to keep their prices high for their models since now with 3d printers being mature are dirt cheap to make. One of the many reasons I have abandoned GW and their products.
I want the banner. Where can I get it
Price, plain and simple
I started playing 40k with a few minis in 1999 with 3rd edition and played thru 5th. I think 4th was very easy to play under but 5th was fine. Got out in college and sold all my armies at a loss. If I was ever going to get back in I would simply get 3d printed models and kit bash them myself. Love to paint the models most and make terrain but playing was fun.
Does anyone know what part 14+15 is used for?
I’d be all over this box if I wasn’t already invested in 40K. The skaven appeal to me so much but I don’t know when I’d ever play the game because I only get to play a wargame once a month or so.
Just doom mongering
If GW gose 100% only thought them I would not be shock
There are so many successful TTG's that do not rely on store fronts. Think about it. GW is the ONLY game company that has these. I wonder if that is one of the things killing them and driving their prices up. If a release is received poorly such as a new edition of a game or box set, it's going to to be the store front that suffers the most because they ONLY sell GW product, whereas a FLGS can absorb the hit because they sell other games too.
funny thing is that if they simply lowered their prices to a more reasonable level, they would considerably increase their sales. More sales, even at a slightly lesser profit margin per sale is still a net profit. Lower prices make more money, but GW will never admit to that.
Too expensive for me!
My FLGS still have like 15 dominion box in their stock, they just dont sell at all and looks like GW isnt even allowing clearance sale on those, so they're stuck with them For Skaventide, they're only going on order.
Been like this for a few years now in Australia
If youre a small buissness with a small following for aos, the reason you wouldnt pick this up is cause ypud have to buy, at minimum, 2 of the boxes. Thats nearly 300 dollars youre spending on product you dont know will nove or not.
It definitely will move, and you'll just make sure you have buyers for it first. It's that simple.
@@jacket2848 we don't, that's the problem. And the only people that show interest, balk at the cost of spearheads
How to create content lol.
What size is that cleaner?
Did you get a free copy of skaventide?
We have never gotten free copies of anything from GW, nor do we want them. Their NDA along with their non verbal expecations are egegious IMHO.
Thanks for reminding me why i have a 3d printer and play OPR
Happy to help
When they sell out of something I want and can’t get, I just buy recasts. Saves me money so I don’t mind.
Everyone I know is splitting up the box.
3d printers go brrr
For what it's worth, and I have no way to validate any of this...but my local GW store said what they consider NEW customer traffic is down at least 70%. (They quantify a NEW customer as someone that has not purchased or been in the store during the prior 3 months, so essentially a quarter). The last 3 times i've been in the store, which has been since Christmas of 2023, inventory within the store is down by half. That includes paints, codex's, named models, etc. As far as your question goes about where I'm spending my money, literally 100% of my model related budget has been moved to console gaming (not GW either)... I haven't purchased a GW model, or utility since buying a Astra Militarum Command Squad in November of 2023. It pains me to say it, but "out of sight, out of mind"... you begin to focus on other things, GW may not get a significant number of consumers back simply because they've moved on to something else.
I’m not a space wolf fan, but seeing those wolf heads. Makes me want to at least build a squad to feel them out. I bet somebody has made a 3d file already.
your video title is clickbait
I would argue that every video alomost on RUclips is clickbait
I work in air shipping believe me companies like GW and like are contracted for bulk, standard overnight or 2 day air rates for them are between $8-$16 depending on what service they pick. For you the guy off the street rates are $25-$90 for same non priority rates. Gw prolly does millions in shipping with ups the million cost us they’re monthly ups invoice most likely
i am mad i found out they existed when they got replaced... i love the wolf heads...
I feel like if you havent got a bag for life on you all the time in the Uk now or you go out shopping without them your pretty stupid. This is a huge none issue
Why are companies allergic to money? =.=
Here's the thing as a consumer i want to buy more models from them I want a cain model I want varient regiments to get I want vehicles from the lore I want more customizable parts more of the upgrades But GW isn't producing them. I can't buy what they don't make
New Mark 6 look boring. The old ones would look better if there weren't teeth on them. Just like a wolfy kind of beaky helmet
I'm not buying it because i'm not interested in Stormcast. Should have done the same as the Old World launch. I wanted Tomb Kings but not Bretonians. Do a pair of boxes containing a single army either Skaven or Stormcast. Drop the price to reflect the reduced model count & you have a winner.
Tomb Kings literally had their own set
@@Keram-io8hv That was litterally the point behind what i said.
This isnt new, the whole point is for the local store to advertise for GW but always be short on the new hotness, so that you order from the online GW storefront where the conpany gets a larger cut of the sale.
Horus Heresy armor. I love beaky gits and bits
PRINT, BABY PRINT. You either let them continue their actions and suffer the cost, or you print and cost them their resources.
Here in sweden you can get a plastic bag at most stores, but it costs like half a quid. Hasn't inconvenienced me at all, i just started bringing my own reusable bags.
And this is why I stopped buying games workshop products 😅for
265 bucks?!
Literally everything in the shops has plastic packaging lol
Bullshit excuse. Lmao!
