    One thing to point out with the Gladiator kit is that it makes the Lancer, Reaper, Valiant variants AND makes the Impulsor kit as well, and DOESNT need magnets to swap between all variants, just a tiny bit of press-stick. That makes it a great buy for anyone, even if they're only looking for an Impulsor currently.
    I would rather spend the extra $8 for a kit that can swap between four units, than just buying the standard Impulsor.

    The thing with the gladiator is it is essentially the closest thing you can get to a 'value' kit from GW without buying a discount box because it is able to make effectively 4 datasheets without really any magnetisation needed. My gladiators have been rotating between Impulsors and Lancers most of the edition and if the Reaper for example came good I can quickly switch them to that.

The last time i saw any event whether it was semi-comp or comp enforce any WYSIWYG rule was in 7th like 10 years ago. Matter of fact, i dont think i've played a single player in the last 7 years in any format that ran WYSIWYG, its for sure a dead rule.

    • @AWPtical800
      @AWPtical800 2 дні тому

      The issue is that Crisis suits are a scam. The reason they're so high up on the list is that there aren't enough guns in the box to equip a force with all of one gun (for example, six flamers): you need to buy at least two boxes just to have enough for two different units. Then their point totals are stupid cheap which incentivizes you to buy a shitload of them.

    But on the flip side most of the production costs are recouped in the first month of a kit comming out because people buy the new shiny regardless, so gw largely don't care so long as 'some' are being sold

    Wargame Portal is NOT a good source for sales data, they carry a fairly limited product range at any given time, so if they decide to only stock up on product "A", then shocker of shockers, "A" becomes one of their top sellers.
    Right now for example they have a grand total of ZERO Custodes, Sororitas, or Militarum products. NONE. Sure if they decide to stock up on a few Leman Russ tanks, it's going to become one of their top 25 products.
    Respectfully, this series is bad for the credibility of the channel if you keep using their data.

For about 100$ CAN you can get a MK4 tactical squad from 30k to make 2 full 10 man CSM legionare squad . COmpare that to the 40k price for the same 10 unit squad . 2025 goal : try to get more rhino's , predator's tank and vindicator as support vehciles.

    I know I'm just going to look dumb, but I'm honestly surprised about how well various Space Marines units did on this list. Obviously, they have always been, and will continue to be, the iconic "face" faction of 40k, so it isn't exactly shocking, and there's more to purchases than tournament performance, but Space Marines have just SUCKED for so much of this last year. If you were playing Astartes, you were probably playing Divergent Chapters, and while several of them can certainly use the choices from the SM codex, like Land Raiders, Hellblasters, and the like, they just didn't seem as popular as whatever unique units earned each of these Chapters their own book, instead of slumming it with the Raven Guard, White Scars, and Salamanders. I can see Ultramarines using Land Raiders, the Marine variants, and such, but until the recent change to their rules, where they tried to develop actual value, versus additional unique units, and detachments, it just didn't feel like people were actively playing them, as so many factions, with newer rules, seemed to be performing better than the poster boys. It's nice to see, of course, and now that their rules are shoring up, those numbers will probably only increase, but this list was, thankfully, not simply the meta-chase I might have expected it to be.

    • @WargamePortal
      @WargamePortal 9 днів тому +1

      Space Marines make up more than 50% of every order we make with Games Workshop, every time. There are some times where marines equate to more than 80% of those orders. Most of the more "niche" faction purchases follow the rules and "meta." For instance, Canoptek Wraiths were constantly selling earlier in the Necron release cycle, then fell off when they got a small nerf, and cratered upon further nerfs. Space Marines on the other hand sell despite their lack of good rules and meta status. It's been that way since we started really, it's the most collected faction/model range out of any that we sell, period.

    I'm not surprised at the Gladiator kit selling so well because the Lancer is a blatantly overpowered unit that's been hiding out in a mid-low tier faction, if any other army in the game had Lancers it would have been nerfed to hell and back ages ago. Could you imagine guard with vanquishers that hit on 2+ and re-rolled every step when firing? It's the only unit that I see consistently make its points back and then some in the shooting phase because the damage its capable of is so ridiculous for the fact that it's only 160 points.

      Not really a great analogy tbh vanquisher guns arent the best, they can already hit on 2s, and they can already reroll the wound roll. The really crazy thing about the lancer is that for basically the same price point you get double the attacks while retaining similar speed and durability.

      @@aqz7603 To get a Vanquisher to hit on 2+ you need set up and to expend a valuable TC or Lord Solar order, the Lancer only has to worry about heavy, or can just get a techmarine to boost them if they want to move as well. The Vanquisher ONLY rerolls wounds and only if they're a vehicle or monster, if you miss the hit or roll low on damage then you're expending a command re-roll, meanwhile the Lancer is going to re-roll both on at least one of its attacks. The point of the Vanquisher comparison is because everyone would complain if Guard was capable of the same BS, the way it's currently designed it's practically impossible to not get damage through with the Lancer because there's a rule to bail you out every step of the way, not to mention the unnecessary double tap which leads it to having 50% more maximum damage over the Vanquisher, and also gets around those once per game abilities to negate damage since it comes in two halves. No other faction gets this kind of training wheels to avoid the player from getting a feels bad moment when their big gun doesn't do any damage, and just makes it suck to play against.

      It's highly doubtful that it would be that much different or provide a more diverse/meaningful dataset as the total revenue for GW (which includes sells to stores like ours) is nearly double in the United States as the UK. ($143m in the UK to $270m in NA)

      You say this as if they’re not already going to do it. That’s why they’re trying to sell all the old kits now so they don’t get caught with old inventory.
      I’m feeling like 11th edition or maybe 12th will see the reimagined land raider kit
