I don't understand the Battle Bundle - Vikings bundle: http://www.daz3d.com/battle-bundle-vikings
The promo image says "10 pdoducts in one huge bundle", yet there are only 5 products included. What and where are the other 5?
I guess there really should be 5 others because right now the bundle's base price is $112.59, while you could buy the 5 listed products individually for only $70.94, so why would anyone want to buy the bundle in its current form at full price and pay more? :)
Also the main promo image mentions a sale that ends in 2014, that's not too relevant now... :)

Comments
I didn't even notice the '10 products' thing - it went straight in my cart
The promo images show a texture set for Herne outfit that isn't included (I already had Herne, but the price ($2.70 with a new item) is still great for the rest of it).
I wonder what the others are (This is probably a bundle that came over from RDNA and was cut down, but the original text/images are still there).
Edit - yeah, the promo images show a few things that aren't included - the main image (mentioning 10 items) was taken from an RDNA sale in '14
Huh, I didn't even know there was bundle at RDNA for this stuff. I have three of the items in the bundle listed already, but two of which I bought while they were still at RDNA. I don't even remember seeing them listed in any bundles there or I might have considered getting it.
I see that four of the products that seems to be missing from the bundle are actually here in the store so I'm not sure why it isn't listed with the bundle.
Sojourner
Hinterland
IGD Deerstalker for M4
Skuldelevery
The only one I couldn't find was Valborg. Why aren't the others in the bundle? Some of those are actually on my wishlist. I'll be picking up the bundle because it will be cheaper for the two items I haven't picked up yet, but it would be super nice if the missing items that are supposed to be in the bundle were added because all, but one of them, seem to actually be here in the store!
Still an insanely good deal even without the missing? items. I would like Skuldelevery - those morphs look great!

Yeah, I saw $4 and jumped on it too. If it's just the 5 items, fine. If it also has the other things in the previews, even better.
The Valborg pose set does seem to have gone missing in action. Not in Island Girls store here or RDNA yet strangely "Battle Bundle - Vikings" is showing in her store here. Even though none of her poducts are listed in included products for it (yet).
I was wondering the same thing as those above and took the leap. Good deal either way, but I was hoping the rest would be there, personally wanting the two texture sets, already owning herne and ragnarok.
In Daz Connect when you install the "Battle Bundle - Vikings" Product, it appears to install all of the content(516), including that missing(247of 516)
Deerstalker (27)
Hinterland (52)
Skuldelevery (14)
Sojourner (54)
Valborg (100)
Everything appears to be in there from the product page listings
I just installed the bundle (via DIM) - everything is in there, including Valborg. They all install with the Bundle file, but the 5 listed items come down seperately as well. The 'missing' items aren't showing up as purchased when I go look at them - so it is all confused.
Wait, are you saying all ten are actually there? Wow that's a really good deal. I picked up this morning when I thought 5 was a good deal although I did wonder what happened to the rest lol.
Hopefully the individual stuff will get marked as owend at some point. The RDNA bundles are awful like that...I'd hate to buy something I already have cuz it wasn't marked.
What is Valborg? I can't figure out if its poses, weapons or what? And I can't find it in the store and its not listed in my product library its only part of the bundle.
Valborg is a set of poses for M4...
Includes some defensive poses as well as weapon poses.
Thats what I thought but wasn't sure thanks!
And conversely, there have been a few RDNA sale items that I've passed up because I was sure that I had it, yet when I check my files both here and at RDNA, it doesn't show up... Probably things that originally ran as a Xmas promo or an add on on a 3D World bonus disc...

That was most helpful nDelphi thank you!
So in My Products Library, there's a separate download for each of the 5 items, plus one for the whole Bundle (which looked large so I'm downloading that now) - thanks for the tip that the rest is included in that part - incredible deal
Good to know! I had just checked out with the bundle then I saw this! I'll download it later as I'm on my way out the door.
Hah, I typed the above in after seeing GuyGenesis' post and thought I had sent it. I was literally on my way out the door. I get home and log on and find that, no, I didn't actually hit the 'Post Comment' button!
Hey all... *waves*
After loooads of Confusion, all 10 products are in the Bundle, the only reason they are not listed is because the seperate packs by Anna,Dave and Loraly have not yet gone live in the store from the transfer over from DNA..
Our 5 packs are in it, plus
Deerstalker (27)
Hinterland (52)
Skuldelevery (14)
Sojourner (54)
Valborg (100)
This huge bundle originally released at RuntimeDNA, which is why the original artworks are in place with the old dates, but at $4 only I'm sure you'll forgive Daz for not changing that :D
Sorry it caused confusion folks
Big Hugs

Thank you for clearing up the confusion! :) It IS a sweet deal, and a very nice pack! I can already imagine using it in some of the scenes.
Although they were created for Poser and M4 quite awhile ago now, we have been using them in DS and on all Genesis Males with not much fuss..The only thing that will not work is the fur on Ragnarok as it utilised Posers Shaders nodes,
But any Questions feel free to shout Oi you Mortem Vetus, or simply Tracey or Andrew lol we're always here for any assistance..
Have fun All
:) x x
At $4 this is an insane deal. And I'm still using M4 quite happily. The other MortemVetus characters I bought work great in DS and even convert nicely to Iray with minimal tweaking. I only had Herne from this bundle, so the texture addons are a great bonus
Yep, I can quite happily use M4 or transfer him up to new figures. Makes no difference to me. All high quality sets that I'm very happy to have them! I'll be playing with them as soon as I get them installed.
It's a great bundle I had my eye on years ago but couldn't afford until the $4 sale. These props and costumes are ideal not only for Nordic-themed renders but for a broader range of fantasy renders (I'm thinking the film version of LOTR and Game of Thrones.) The hair is great. And Rolf is a typically fun rugged and ragged MV character whose textures will surely enliven many of my non-Viking renders in the future on both Genesis and Genesis 2 males. I consider this sale price an early birthday gift. :) Thank you!
I picked up the bundle last night. Quite happy with it. :) I've achieved a reasonable fur look for the leg and armwraps, buy using the Iray leather shader. I do the CTRL-Left click when applying it so as not to over write the textures. Then turn down the glossy layer weight to .15. Set base color to a lighter brown. And move the bump up to 2.0 Looks pretty good as long as it isn't an extreme close up.
Now I am even more happy I bought the bundle - I had three of the five mentioned products, but the price was good for the two missing ones!
Ragnarok from the Bundle (and Morven, who is by MortemVetus too) in Iray:

Nice render! Incredibly detaild credits as well. I wish more people did this. Kudos to you!
I'm niot sure if I am seeing all of the products in the bundle. Of the 5 procts listed on the product page I already had the 3 I was most interested in so I was on the fence about buying the bundle. But when MV said thje other 5 were also included I I ran to grab it while it was still on sale.
With a quick look at the icons in product I do see Valborg and IGD poses in the bundle I'm not sure about other ones such as Skulelvery and Hinterland. I don't see those specific names but they may just be poses with other names.
Hinterland can be found here: \Runtime\Libraries\Pose\AHB_Herne_Exp
Skulelevery is here: \Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Brahann\Skuldelevery
Nice render, Kerya I'm looking forward to trying the bits and pieces out with some new shaders. Great bundle (especially at that price)!
Gorgeous render! I have most of that stuff- now I'm going to have to play! Great job!
