Fairbanks Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Pricewise all fall in the 290-320 range. So guessing anywhere from $200-225 (usd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnkdth Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I guessed after seeing the boxes and still got it (allegedly) wrong. They all look like barbarous hordes. Long live the king and queen! *nomnomnomnom* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Was hoping the lumineth would be the stone or wind temple, ah well. Nice starter armies tho, I'll get the slannesh one if I didn't already have everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstu Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Those boxes look pretty cool, they don't appeal to me, although the vamp one is a bit tempting.. Vanguard boxes.. look like a good set but not wild on that price point, but I guess it will depend on the contents of each box. For now keeping my pennies for new dwarfs/squats ..[I live in hope!😇] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmarusvult Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Interesting, not a single kit is from warhammer fantasy, these are all "brand new" AoS armies. It's hard to judge if they are good value without knowing the price, each box has one or more units that don't see much play on the table (slaangors, Mortal slaanesh wizard, LRL banner dude, skeletons, Obr scyth hero, stalkers). Hopefully the discount is high enough so that it's not just about getting one of these to-be-shelved units for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverchosen Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) I love all of these boxes and I am very tempted by each one, but also I feel like I might take a pass for one reason or another. Revenant Legion: This is a really awesome starter for Soulblight and an amazing looking way of getting into a cool army. It has a fantastic centre piece, blood knights and all the amazing new infantry models. I am going to bow out on this one though. It is fantastic but it is also my best friend's main army and for his own purposes he has all the relevant models that he needs. Sybarite Blade-Carnival: If it had a Keeper like last year's Tzeentch set with the Lord of Change, this would be an instant purchase for me. As it is it is still my personal favourite of the Battleforces, and with some help from my Slaves to Darkness it could be an easy 2000 points of Hedonites of Slaanesh. However, the lack of demons would require me to buy a Slaanesh start collecting box and the twins (discount Keeper proxy)... for summoning purposes. Which would inflate this from being a cheap additional army into an expensive long term investment. My favourite chaos god is always just out of my undivided reach. 😭 Vanari Shining Host: Now this is what I am talking about, covers battleline and gets me some of the best looking units in one of my favourite factions. Just adding Teclis pretty much jumps it to 1700 points and also avoids the archer spam that makes everyone hate playing the faction (yes I know Teclis is a problem too but this is to keep my army small). Honestly I might take the plunge even though I do not really want to start a new Order army project after just investing in Stormcast. Mortisan Tithe-Echelon: Really great starting point for OBR. This is another contender but it is also an army played in my group of friends. I think my friends are all secretly agents of Nagash. It is strange as it really seems to have no themed focus and literally get you everything you will eventually want for OBR. I really like it but for my money I would have needed Nighthaunt or Flesh Eater Courts to not double on my friend's armies. Still tempting but less so then the Aelves and Slaanesh. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I might make one my big holiday purchase, or I could treat myself to Be'Lakor, Smiley the Dragon or some nice Varanguard. Who am I kidding my Ogors still need Emotional Support Gnoblar buddies! Edited November 18, 2021 by Neverchosen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine the Vanguard for Ogors will be Gutbusters and whilst they are my Ogor army I think the Beastclaw SC is just too good a deal to pass up. Not to mention I have a £35 voucher for GW to spend so its value for money is even better!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But N'kari design reminds me about Buu with horns from Dragon Ball. I prefer AoS's KoS design, it fit better with the Fantasy settings than the old Aenarion vs N'kari sketch. I'm really tempted to buy Slaanesh battlebox. I still think that they need a unit of Blissbarb Lancers, but love their design even if I don't like how they play. Maybe in the next edition...

This argument is a bit missleading because GUO and Bloothirsters are using the new designs instead of the old dog-face demon or the green potato. And I'm pretty sure there are a lot more (ex: Arkhan). I assume that CA just pointed out that they are not going to follow AoS or End Times narrative and that's why they use some "updated" designs instead that the Fantasy ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
