armada modern tanks rules and regulations

I do wonder, if a few months down the road they'll repack the 'base' kit like they did for AT with more infantry-level (i.e., a baneblade squad or fellblade or two) to replace the warhounds. If the base set isn't too expensive, I'm strongly considering picking up a copy just for the 'neat' factor. I agree that a couple of superheavy tanks would have been a much better than a couple of Warhounds.

As I said, it did get people buying more of it (myself included, although I would never do that again), so it was a successful marketing tactic. IMO, the GM box would have been a better value without terrain sprues inflating its price. (Or potentially sold them off to others.) The only way those terrain sprues became valuable is if the customer bought a lot more of them. My point is that something can be discounted but not represent a good value to the customer. I'm not sure that we're discussing the same thing. If anyone seriously sets their standards for a normal launch box at 'has two fully playable forces and 4' x 4' table's worth of quality plastic terrain for a terrain heavy game' that's simply unrealistic. If you wanted everything, including the terrain and rules kits, it was of value as a starting point (at the time, buying the pieces individually would have been around 350 €). 'The box had a lot of plastic at a discount' is a different statement than 'the box gets you a full table'. But it did get people buying more Civitas terrain, so mission accomplished for GW. It was really a waste from a value standpoint. That 'mountain' of terrain sprues in the Grandmaster box was about 1/4 of the amount you'd need to fill a table properly and provide adequate cover. This was later fixed with the superb deal that was the current starter box. The problem with the set was that the units it contained were highly unrepresentative of what the game is and the sticker shock of 230 € to try things out was quite unwelcoming for many. You basically got a Warlord for free if you wanted everything in it. Grandmaster edition was pretty sensible for what it contained, as there was an absolute mountain of terrain sprues included in the box. Pretty sure the original Titanicus launch set did too. Warcry broke new price ground when it launched.
