In contrast to the "Most Overpriced Model" discussion, I thought we should discuss the kits which can be considered (to a certain extent) to be of good value.

My opinion would be the Dark Angels Veterans: Only £12 for some very nice models along with loads of different weapons and a ton of upgrade parts for other units.

What other kits do you think are relatively good value?

do starter kits count because Bfsp is a god send

I'd say one of my favorite deals that people overlook if its still there are spawns 2 plastic Daemon princes for 25 dollars yes please.

for some reason i think the FW revanant titan is a good deal (for a titan)

Yeah it is good value considering its a Titan.

I think the standard ol box of boyz is a good deal. WAY more bitz in there then you need for 10 boyz for $22 (well GW price, the store I get them at they are $19 EVEN BETTER!)
Not to mention I think the boyz look great

I think some of GW terrain is the best deal. The Temple of Skulls is HUGE, but is only $30. The detail is great, and it paints up easily.

Tau Skyray.
Comes with the Hammer head turrets as well letting it switch between Devilfish, Hammer head with Railgun, the other Hammer head and the Skyray.

do you mean the ion-cannon hammerhead?

yeah thats a pretty awesome set would defo buy it if i start a tau army.

if i started an eldar army i would defo buy a revanant titan aswell.

I'd agree that GW terrain is pretty good value for money, but their best value set has to be AOBR both in terms of the no. of minis and the quality of the figures themselves.

Dark Angels Ravenwing set I think its called; The one with 6 bikes a Attack bike and Landspeeder.

For 90 bucks.

90 bucks gets you 5 bikes alone. throw in the value for the landspeeder and the attack bike you have a fantastic deal.

Agreed,this kit is a Chaos kit bashers dream (I did several conversions/upgrades with the last one I had),however I dont know so much about overlooked (at least not where I live),I went to 3 FLGS last night looking for one,and all 3 were sold out.
Also have to agree with KC about Ork boyz and will throw in the Ork Nobz box to boot.

The new Space Wolf box is a pretty good deal, 35 bucks for a boat load of great bits that you can use in one squad or in your entire army.

Miltia boxset for empire, 20 men for only £18!

The Grot plastic box; 10 different grots and a Runtherder with multipart options all for £8.

LotR boxes. 20 plastic dudes with options for 25 bucks? Yes please.

I like the lootas/burnas set. Combined with some extra boys you get a unit of both.

Same with the SM devastators set. You get a lot of heavy weapons troops when combined with a tactical marines set. It beats the heck out of the old days of buying a bunch of metal devastators to flesh out your marine heavy weapons.

The Baneblade. It's a massive kit, solid as a rock, nicely detailed, and at 500pts for $100 is reasonably efficient.

The new Space Wolves Pack. Loads of extra bitz to easily convert Wolf Lords/WGBLs and it fits perfectly with the normal SM kits.

All of the new skaven are (to a degree) quite cheap

once you get over the amount you have to buy the clanrats are significantly cheaper than alot of the recent plastic cores, and look great

a step in the right direction surely?

I'm going to sy the Empire Battalion

You get: 20 State Troops (26.50x2)= $53.00
10 Handgunners = $26.50
8 Knights = $42.00
10 Goldswords = $49.50
---------
$171.00


Battalion Cost = $130.00

How `bout the `cron BF. Over 65€ worth for 50€ may not sound like much, but you get freaking 750pts!! Compare that to the guards or ork set!

Dark Angel Veteran Box seconded.
Use them as Sternguards and vola!
A very nice box

I'm gonna say that the chimera fo IG is a fluff dream. It's the chassis for pretty much any of the artty's, the (obviously) chimera, and any of the chem spewers.

I'm going to give a nod to the Drop Pod. Sure its 35 bucks for more or less a terrain piece. But the Pod itself is pretty large, really detailed on the inside, and actually has some weight to it. For some reason 35 for a pod just feels like your getting more kit than say the same 35 bucks for a rhino.
