Threejacks Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Im thinking of getting the Demons of Khorne box so I can start running my Bloodbound with some allies but I really want to know if the kits come with all the options they would have if purchased seperatly. In my case I would like to build the Skull cannon instead of the Herald throne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 thinking about going over the GW store after work - that Skatarii (sp) box seems like the perfect combo for the Imperial Knights I got on trade… at least thematically. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im holding off on 40k stuff to see what their Eldar starter is,,,I need at least one more box of Guardians for my Battlehost and im sure it will at least have that,,well I hope,heh.

Torg Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 hmmm I am just cleaning through a bunch of my eldar - ( I have way to much old stuff and trade stuff)… I have a few bags of guardians - how many are you looking for? these would be primed and put together - with some bits if needed. Just have a bunch - I am planning on liquidating them soon. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malakithe Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I want to get the orc one. Wonder why they didn't release them for more armies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah i purchased the Tau box set and will be picking up the necron and mechanicus one soon! Fantastic deal and i have been around long enough to know when GW does a deal its worth it to grab it. I do hope the release box sets for the other armies as well though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 In the past, GW's boxes like this have always included full kits. Can't see why they wouldn't here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Going to look at picking up a couple of the Nurgle Demon ones! Great deals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't believe that the Empire Knights included the "hairy head" Middenheim sprue when bundled in a battalion box - correct me if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't believe that the Empire Knights included the "hairy head" Middenheim sprue when bundled in a battalion box - correct me if I'm wrong That one's kind of an odd case, because that extra sprue was created separately from that basic Knight kit. These days, they more often do them all as one thing. I'm not entirely certain about the Blood Throne/Skull Cannon, but the way most of them are laid out on the sprue these days, it's not really possible for them to be split up like that.

Threejacks Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just picked up the Khorne Demons and indeed it does come with all options for all kits! Friggen awesome deal!,,,over 30% off retail. And the Battalion scroll bonus for AoS aint half bad to boot:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I got my Tau kit in the mail yesterday and I can confirm that it comes with every option. $70 shipped from eBay... That's a great price for a kit like this! It includes the $75 Crisis Suit kit, the $50 Fire Warrior kit, and a $20 Ethereal. $145 worth of models for $70 thanks to re-sellers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 You are still paying $70 for 14 models. Don't lose perspective just because its a deal by GW's standards. I was pretty tempted myself. And then I saw the stacks of models in my basement. Nothing like hordes of models to curb your purchasing motivation.

There are also 8 Drones and a Missile Pod turret ;) But I agree, it's still too expensive. When I went digging for my Tau last weekend I discovered several new-on-sprue armies that I've yet to do anything with. At least I have some hobby time carved out for this particular box!

Guest Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Though the best GW deal per model is probably the current skaven battalion set. 71 models for $115. Mind you, most of those models are garbage in rules.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Eh not really. Depends on your build. One of the battalions requires 3 units of clanrats. Lots of people use the plague monks too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people use the plague monks too I said most. I like the plague monks. Clanrats and Skaven Slaves are iffy. Giant rats and rat ogres too. Pack masters are neat, if only visually (go shock prod!). All of the units suffer in most formats, due to being restricted to small unit sizes (only 40 models....)

Malakithe Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 If I don't use a formation stormvermin are the best. The verminus clawpack has 3 units of clanrats and 1 stormvermin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 If I don't use a formation stormvermin are the best. The verminus clawpack has 3 units of clanrats and 1 stormvermin Stormvermin aren't included in their battalion box set, which is what I'm addressing. That verminus clawpack seems iffy. I mean, I like that option to shift damage from the weapon teams to the clanrats, but I think just having more weapon teams is a more viable option there. The boost to the warlords seems nice, but he's very easy to kill given the lack of "look out sir" and the formation hurts without him. The boost to bravery for 10 models isn't really very impressive when you consider how fast they can lose models due to their low stats.

Malakithe Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yeah true. That's why I'm trying to build a list with just stormvermin as the main units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yeah true. That's why I'm trying to build a list with just stormvermin as the main units Are you playing skaven now? No more orcs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yep going skaven fully. Should have from the start. Even playing 40k I've always watched skaven and wanted to play them. Just need to sell these lizzies to start the fund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 If only my w-2 was released...I should get a good return then I can go HAM on some skaven lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to sell these lizzies to start the fund Two things of note: First, the most expensive way to play a GW game is to change armies a lot. Expensive in effort, time and money. Second, skaven are easilly one of the most demanding armies in terms of painting. So many models. PS: I've also acquire a few skaven for my Chaos.
