Havent seen them in a while 40k had one a few months ago that was Dark Angels vs Chaos Marines with two new models, and AoS had a Tzeentch v LRL not too long ago. They seem like good releases whenever two armies need a new codex or a single new model, and the upcoming AoS battle tomes will likely have army boxes instead if they're range refreshes. Alternatively, the Regiments of Renown boxes could be an attempt to phase them out, since Regiments are better for people who only want a single army. I'm not sure how many people in practice were getting the two army boxes to build two new armies or splitting it with a friend vs people who just wanted the new shiny box 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those normally happened when their respective battletomes released and since we don't have enough battletomes left for a double release (Since Cities get a army set instead) we shouldn't get anymore during AoS3.0. 40k did get another one after that for their end of edition campaign but that was pretty unusual. What we are getting instead now is the solo faction boxes like the four for the Dawnbringers campaign and like 40k got their Boarding patrol boxes. After AoS 4.0 starts and we will be back into the battletome grind, these will probably be back. Was the same for AoS2.0 where we got a few during the Battletome releases and got solo faction broken realms sets an the end of the edition Edited July 4, 2023 by Matrindur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking because these boxes let me buy halves on the 2nd hand market for a big discount. Keeps things affordable. These regiments or dawnbringer boxes are fine but u really need to want everything in the box to be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they weren't selling particularly well. One of my go to online stores is still selling the Lumineth vs. Tzeentch one, with an additional discount, today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captaniser Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Another Warhammer setting agnostic rumor. Weird and disproportionate elbows could be for quite a few things, the only thing that throws me off is the "wire" under the arm. Maybe a Ghoul or Moulder thing, or perhaps a mutant for 40k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazarjo Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 My gut says this is some kind of imperial guard. The fabric around the wrist and more mechanical cables don't look very FEC, but I'd love for FEC designs to have more different designs so thus could be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously commando snail, with red bandana and two eyes poking out. It even has nose and lips. Case closed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Warcry Starter Set reveal, which I'm sure comes as a huge shock. The terrain is new at least, I think? It does mean when we next get a Warcry Preview, it'll be new stuff. Edited July 4, 2023 by Clan's Cynic 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty good starter set, and it surely would have got much more attention if it was part of the big preview rather than dropping on a random Tuesday.

I am excited for this set, I hope it is at a slightly more entry level cost than the other sets but the terrain is great and I am up for adding some heroes to my Stromcast and giving my friend some vampires and terrain. He did get us Leviathan to split and this might be a fun surprise in return. Edited July 4, 2023 by Neverchosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they are stretching the "Two new warbands" to breaking point on the roadmaps. (Although I will likely pick it up as I have wanted those Vamps for ages and I'm always happy to pick up some more SC bois. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense, when you have excellent small warbands on a couple of sprues why not use them where ever you can. If I didn't have both warbands, I would buy this boxset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already did, they made a Barnes & Noble (or Target? Some non-GW retailer) Warcry starter kit with the Chaos Warrior and Darkoath WHU warbands. This is just an expansion of the same concept.
