I've relatively recently got back into the game, roughly around the time Blood Angels were released, and so I was wondering if the Spearhead boxsets were still being made? I'm not talking about older spearheads like the Chaos Space Marine and Daemon ones. I mean is GW still doing Spearhead boxes to celebrate new codexes? I havent seen any for Blood Angels, but since they're a Space Marine Chapter that might be why. When I first started Warhammer they always did an Army box whenever a new codex came out. They were replaced with Spearheads a while back, and the Megaforces were also phased out. I'm hoping they're still doing it, those sets were great savings and a great way to start an army (especially for the DE, since everything's new xB).

No they dont, they have a basic battalion/strike force with usually 2 to 3 units and one vehicle. Just be thankful to have the first sets in the game that support WYSIWYG.

I would likely get a big box set if they did. But I think its unlikely.

The last spearhead I ever saw was the Space Marine one, although it consisted almost solely of metal models (they were new though). It's probably due to the poor sales of those sets. I saw a Woodelf Armybox that failed to sell 2 years after the update came out.
