First impressions = "These are expensive". Basically... double the price of Kings of War models, regardless of material type.

£14 for 10 resin plastic wraiths or 5 resin plastic forgefather heavies.

£14 for 20 plastic skeletons or 10 (presumably plastic) forgefathers/ orx.

This is not a good move. At all.

Mantic are doubling their prices and there is absolutely no way to sugar-coat it.
