dkieft Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Just wanting to put some numbers on all the talk of AoS failing. If everyone buys the box, then GW has obviously not failed too badly. (Also I kinda considered the "Good Deal" more than just a War Store 20% off... ) Personally, I would not mind having the chaos models, but I have tons already and no real use for them, so I am saying "no".

Murphy'sLawyer Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I can see Chaos Players going for the Models, not my thing but they are good. Otherwise I see No reason. Also it's a $125 for just the models which I don't see being worth the money because they're snap fits with no room to repose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm going for a box from some 20% off place at some point here. And getting a set of the Sigmarites from someone as well. That said, they're all actually going to get used for 40K :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanNinja Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I voted no. There is nothing in the new models I've seen so far which says "buy me!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, they're all actually going to get used for 40K :PNow that you mention it, those Sigmarites could be pretty awesome as Nurgle Marines...With some clever conversions and green stuff work there's a good start to a 40k Chaos force in that box 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I picked up a set of Bloodreavers that I'm going to use for some Blood Bowl conversions, but that's it. For what it's worth, I actually think the SigMarines look damn cool, even if I feel they are out of place in a fantasy setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is what GW wants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarlessllama Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I can see Chaos Players going for the Models, not my thing but they are good. Otherwise I see No reason. Also it's a $125 for just the models which I don't see being worth the money because they're snap fits with no room to repose. They have a display of the new models at the GW store in Eastport PLaza here in Portland. They are not snapfit. They are closer to the new Skitarii models, and that they have a low number of bits per model. As for me, I already pre-ordered so I suppose that would put be firmly in the "yes" camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytims Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Since I don't/won't play either faction, and there is nothing else in the box of note, I won't be buying the box. Whereas with previous new starters, I -always- bought one (Even if I didn't play the factions included) so that I could get the 'small rulebook'. I'd then sell the figs off and pretty much break even. Not this time, though. :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I chose 4. But I meant I'd be up for buying up a few fantasy figs to play the game with the free rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkieft Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 If I played Space Marines or Chaos Marines I would buy these Models and slap a bolter on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I want someone to chop off the hammer top on the sigmarines. Then cut off the grip on a bolter and then glue it to the haft. 40K Bolter Hammers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytims Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Someone posted a really nice pic of a sigmarite connverted to a plasma blood angel and it looked really good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 It's a good box set for 40k. Even comes with round bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophecy Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I will be using the Sigmarites for BA actually so my vote is buy a few models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashneeb Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I believe the Sigmarines are their attempt at having something iconic in the Fantasy brand, not unlike Space Marines in 40k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indytims Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 So basically a faction that gets all the lovin? I think that will be true, especially if they 'catch on'. I can definitely see GW looking at some totally new factions, as well, as well as 'updating' previous factions. But Sigmarites sure do 'feel' like the arrival of the 'Fantasticus Astartes'. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Bought it this morning. Super happy with it, great purchase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraf Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Bought it this morning. Super happy with it, great purchase. Sweet, glad to hear that. I'm guessing you voted 'Yes!' then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Bought it this morning. Super happy with it, great purchase. I know theres strong opinions both ways on this game but from the 5 starter sets ive purchased from GW in recent years,this one is by far the best value.The sculpts are outstanding,the Lord-Celestant alone is a 16 component model that went together superbly and would likely be a 50.00 model on its own. This box probably contains upwards of 400.00 worth of models if they were purchased all as separate kits/sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
