I think it would be an awesome way to reintroduce Sisters with a new Starter Set! New models and new plastic kits. Whoever they faced off against, if GW ISN'T thinking of this? They should be flayed with nerf fails for such a fail.


I'm not sure it would be a good way, could end up like Deffkoptas/Chosen/Cultists etc where they think 'oh we don't need to make a kit for these because they're available as monopose snap fits in a starter...'


Deffkopta, you say? And Chosen are easy to make.


Seriously? You wouldn't rather a nice multipart plastic kit with options for each of them? That Deffkopta was around before I got into the hobby btw which is like 10 years ago, it hardly counts as a replacement kit for the plastic ones from AoBR.

I... actually don't know. Help?

Nah, it'd probably be overpriced. Besides, Chosen are the worst now.

Because $40 for one Deffkopta isn't overpriced...

Sanctuary 101 would be an excellent starter set.

2 squads of Sisters and a vehicle vs 3 squads of Necrons, a couple of Tomb Blades and a Lord. Oh, and Scarabs.

To all those who even mention Grey knights in a starter. really think about it. Its a starter do you really want a bunch of new players learning from early on how to walk around complaining "Matt ward made the grey knights his codex was the best and not over powered at all" even tho they never saw how freaking broken it was. Its like starting a new generation of Wardy love. Please for the love of god no.

I think the best starter would be any race vs themselves at least then i can justify buying a starter and having a formidable army straight away... Battle force you say? oh wait its GW's way of clearing out some models they havent been able to sell since 5th

They already do that though, with the various Battle Force Mega Force Ultra Force Super Force boxed sets that pretty much every faction but Orks and Chaos has.

Marneus Calgar is referred to as "one of the Imperium's greatest tacticians" and he treats the Codex like it's the War Bible. If the Codex is garbage, then how bad is everyone else?

Those aren't starter sets, just bundles of models.

Yeah, Mat Ward was long gone by the time the current GK codex was written.

They dont have to buy it to complain about how hard GK got nerfed.

This is the internets pretty sure thats what it was meant for

Why would people just coming into the game care about what their army was like before they even played? They're not going to suddenly love the Mat Ward codex just because they're playing GK.

Guard vs 'Nids would be awesome. I'd love to see Eldar or Dark Eldar vs Slaanesh daemons. Come to think 'Nids verses Daemons and Chaos vs Sisters would rock as well
