That’s a really good way to get people started, if this deal was available I’d definitely consider it.
It’s packaging is very unique and help it stand out from the rest. It’s a bold move that I feel will pay off in the long run. Nobody makes games in BAGS! As well as the mini’s in a can, just crazy and fun! 2 Thumbs up for the idea.
Oh, oh, are the bags velvet by any chance?!
They’re woven nylon stuff from http://krmulticase.com/ never tried the nylon ones but the cardboard ones are pretty good.
A deluxe starter set is a good idea!
Would prefer a smaller KR logo or a Relics logo instead
Would be interested to see an approximate cost for the deal please
The costs are on the blog post, linked at the top of this news post but here it is again: http://www.torgaming.co.uk/rd/army_bag/ I would post them here but not sure if BoW allow prices to be posted in comments so I will resist… The bags will be straight KR merchandise so will not have a smaller logo on or a Relics logo on.

Sorry, I missed the pricing on the Blog Gavin, I did look, honest!
Will have another gander
Thanks.
About the ‘bag packaging’; have you guys considered sleeving the bags with a cardboard sleeve; it would make the bag stand (at least when stacked with other boxes on the shelf) and you can put pretty pictures on the front. The whole thing would still look interesting and different enough from the other products.
So…when is Relics week??
thats a very good question…
Would love to get started this way, but can’t help feeling that that bag should be optional. Like how Mantic do it with the deluxe an order. This would help keep the costs down to the customer. Of coarse some people will want the bag, but I feel it because they are short of bags at home. I say this because for a lot of people, this will be their secondary game and having a million bags stored at home is a bit of a waste of limited funds tbh, especially as you normally set off out the door with… Read more »
