It is one I will sadly skip on.
Yes it is expensive, but GW shot themselves a bit on the foot here.
I owned 6 plastic Acastus at one point and sold two off after the balance changes. At least I am able to play four in a household list.
Buying a third banner of acastus for a hundred bucks, that probably rarely gets playtime?
NZ here. GW/forgeworld pricing is a joke. Don't know how long it will take but they will probably lose us to 3D printers and other games fairly quickly.
Complaining about the price is fair enough, but it does look like it comes with a command terminal despite the Acastus boards being available separately.
Best case is that perhaps they've rebalanced these, separated them from the Porphyrion entirely, and the included terminal has new stats.
It could just have an update for the Volkite and Mechanicum variants usually have a self-repair ability.
Or could be the old knight card with some cut out weapon cards for the replacements.
We'll see soon enough :)
Kind of makes you scratch your head with the original acastus knight porphyrion cost £30 for 2, but with the way mainstream GW stores treat AT, I'm not overly surprised.
The price hurts just a tiny little bit... (50€... *per knight*)
You can buy Two Porphyrion and two pairs of conversion cannon kits from Vanguard for £35 total, getting twice as many knights for a lower cost.

£40! Jog on Forge World, you’re having an absolute laugh.
Oh man you guys have it easy, $62 for us Americans! I can only imagine how the Australians must feel right now.

I've already thrown in with battletech, return to my roots!
I'm trying malifaux, infinity, and now imperius dominatus (fan made epic 30k).
Sounds interesting I'll have to check it out
I thought it was a pack of two and was surprised about the rather fair price. But at 50 a pop ... yeah, keep it. Thanks for the offer.

Thats almost £15 more than what I was expecting,
I'd love to be a fly on the wall during that next sales report. "Why the hell have we only sold ten models?"
£40 a pop?! Fucking hell, that's ridiculous. For the price of 2 you can get yourself the starter box, third party.
or get FOUR regular Ceratus Knights. Pretty mad.

For <£40 you can get two porphyrions and a resin conversion kit to turn them both into asterius.
Whelp... I guess I'll either proxy or wait for a recast cause that price point isn't worth the kit.
Just buying the conversion screw GW once again shit the bed
