It seems that Fanatic is releasing a starter bundle for the Marines, IG and Orks. (A good thing IMO) However I sure hope there's some error in the pricing for the Ork stuff: ? 99999.99 seems a bit on the expensive side... ?
Cheers! ?

They just want the Orks to fail to sell so they can kill them off the way they did the Squats.

Heh. I opened the link. It's listed as 76GBP in the description and that's the same price as the total of the components.
I will never understand why GW builds package deals without any sort of discount of bonus built in. If I'm going to buy a big lot of toys without a discount, I'll pick out my own mix and get exactly what I want.
Back when EA was first released, the Troll magazine in the US had starter packs for the armies that went from ~1500-3500 points - small, medium, and large.

It was there earlier. Perhaps they deleted the starter armies so that they could fix the price.

I presume that was a rhetorical question!

At times I wouldn't mind knowing how GW think...but then again, maybe that would merely drive me insane 
They just don't seem to know ? Said all S/G stuff is on hold ?! 
And BTW the, "Jeb and Jethro", ie.- the I.T. guys in Memphis, Tn, the site of the G/W US Warehouse, still have not fixed the computer glitch, so we can order the E:A Firestorm ! 
Not too many computer experts in the "old rural South", it appears !
