Prices have only just gone up for a start probably to cope with worst case scenario sale figures. Also epic is a fantic game and fanatic never seem to be as exploitative with their priceing. _________________ Regards Dooglebug aka 'Da Bug'

I think the prices are stable for the meanwhile, they are already pretty damn high for what you get, so I really dont see a price hike.

I actually worry more about FW prices since I need to get lots of tau....   Primarch _________________ Primarch The Primarchload Magnetized Titans Tutorial Net Epic Gold Heresy Rules

Firewarriors are based with Drones, correct? So, a Firewarrior stand (using the standard bases) is at least one Firewarrior and up to four (or even zero) Drones. But, when the rules talk about formations containing Drones and their effect on blast markers, etc they actually mean formations with pure Drone units. So, a Firewarrior stand with a Drone on it, doesnt count as a Drone stand. Also, if units of Firewarriors are based with Drones on them, does popular opinion state that this will not change, and the final list will have Firewarrior stands with Drones as 'Firewarriors'? I dont want my Firewarrior stands to become redundant. Thanks. _________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

Your guess is as good as mine on this one. But in any case, if you make it possible to distinguish Firewarriors stands from drones stands, then you are covered by the "Count as" rule under GT rules. That's the same thing as including a sergeant in a stand of Marines.
