Currently the best LR box to buy is the Deathwatch one as it includes all LR variants plus an extra Deathwatch Sprue.
It looks to be just the regular Land Raider. I wouldn't anticipate them getting the Crusader/Redeemer, much like how the Rhino is probably not a Razorback kit like the Deathwatch Transport.
Still, I plan on getting this boxed set for more Custodes and Sisters. I am going to make 5 Sword and Board Custodes, 5 Guardian Spear, and a set each of Bolter and Sword Silent Sisters. That way I can mix and match them as needed.
Honestly it doesn't seem too worth it to me. For a bog standard Land Raider, Contemptor and a Rhino? Why couldn't they just have thrown in some Custode/Imperial Eagle themed vehicle upgrade kits, and perhaps the Shield and Sword for the Dread.
The main draw to me just seems to be the papers the whole lot comes with, because you can easily buy Custodes and Sisters for £28 and £18 on the internet new on sprue respectively.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing what else gets revealed.

Hopefully it at least comes with Custodes Transfers. But all things considered, the box is still a fairly good deal(for GW at least) at $165 USD.
Go back a bit in the stream when the GW rep is being interviewed.
He announces a new smaller starter for AoS... that he says later won't replace the existing starter. It comes with a bit of terrain as well, and doesn't include the larger Celestant and Khorgorath models.
He also announced... are you sitting down.... "Shadowar".... which is going to be a HUGE box with terrain... and basically be Necromunda 2.0 and include rules for all of the current 40K line of minis... ya....
-edit-
I kind of hope the AoS starter isn't the big announcement frankly, but "Shadow" sounds bonkers.

It's basically new sprues of everything in the original starter. Like I said... I hope this isn't the "Big AoS Announcement". I don't think it is. I think this was specifically presented toward the Dice Tower audience which is 90% board gamers.

New Age of Sigmar Starter Box. Comes with the existing Starter Set contents minus some heroes (Dracoth, Lord of Khorne, not sure what else). Comes with Gold and Red sprues, which looks like it would be easy to hit with a wash and call it tabletop. Comes with a vinyl 2 sided mat based on the Realm of Battle Board, and the box turns into a big terrain piece
Shadow War: Armageddon is the spiritual successor to Necromunda and due out VERY SOON. Comes in a MASSIVE (stressed a lot) box full of multilevel terrain, Space Marines, Orks and of course rules. The rules cover 16-17 different factions, so most/all 40k armies are covered.
Blood Bowl is going really strong, like crazy strong. Lots of stuff in the works for it, and I think they are probably redesigning stuff they had planned to cast instead as plastic (my guess).

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

Nothing too exciting, but hopefully some interesting stuff for Orks in it. I suspect the scouts would likely be from that recent game they made with the nids.
Most likely Shadow War Armageddon will be reusing existing Scout and Ork models, but with new terrain. Hopefully a good amount of terrain. Squad based combat with tight rules and a lot of multi-level terrain would be amazing
We’ll have more news for you on this game, as well as other new releases, over the next several hours, so stay posted!

Not really an invalidation, just another type of game.
Ya... I feel like this is "another way to use the models you use for Kill Team".... or also... "Here's some terrain for Kill Team... and some bonus rules"... /shrug
