Australia is reported to have
1 Knight castellan
1 kayvaan shrike
1 kor'sarro khan
1 box of scouts with sniper rifles
1 box of scouts with bolters

3rd UK report of the same box contents

Looking at the list that Spikebits published (https://spikeybits.com/2020/08/are-they-worth-it-gw-supply-drops-contents-value.html) I would have been ok with the Imperium box, but totally disappointed with the other.
The funny thing is that when I got the mail, 20 minutes later the imperium one was already sold out and only the other available.

What would you have expected from the underworlds one?
This isn’t a dig, just curious.

The wording stated gaming aids etc so it was almost a given that it wouldn’t entirely be miniatures.

I’m waiting on a terrain one.

Whoops wrong thread lol. Sorry.
I was thinking about the lockdown-special Sister of Battle model.

Not sure, I had no real expectation, other than them putting in anything that doesn't sell.
Just comparing to the Imperium box list on that article. As a painter and not player, I would have not gotten my moneys worth from the warcry box, but from 1 full of minis like the imperium one, I would have.
Guess they need to make a hobby box, wouldn't mind an assortment of minis, colors and tools.

If i get the same in mine as what that other Australian has reported ill be reasonably happy

Worth noting that article is wrong, and the Underworlds box was only £65.

As I've said, I'm reasonably content with the contents of that one personally, I'm interested in taking up the game and got everything I'd need to do so, and those mini carrying cases are super useful.

I'm probably be a few steps happier.

1 Knight castellan - I've got two Armiger Warglaives from Forgeblade, so I'll have 1k of Knights and am thinking I'll combine them fluff/colour wise with some of the Ad Mech I have. Really digging this now.
1 kayvaan shrike - Will convert for my Deathwatch
1 kor'sarro khan - Unsure... sprue doesn't look conversion friendly.
1 box of scouts with sniper rifles - Don't know, are they any good in 9th for SM armies?
1 box of scouts with bolters - As above.

I've got a lot of Deathwatch stuff BNIB, figure I'll wait until the new 9th codex supplement is out and work out what to do. Any SM stuff that doesn't make it will be an SM chapter (probably one of Ultra, Imperial Fists, Blood Angels or maybe other)

Edit: Also that's a 56% saving for us Aussies from our RRPs!

Korsorro Khan might be a good starting point for an Inquisitor in terminator armour (even though he's not technically in term armour, he's bulky enough to be counts as I think)

That UK Imperial Supply box is quite light on models, 22 models for £75, and that is half price.

Really glad I didn't take the chance, no doubt GW will have lumped Ireland in with the UK for region based content.

I've always wanted a Raven Guard White Scar Knight army based around the 10th company!

Spoiler:

Nothing quite says "Current Meta" like a Dark Blood Angel White Scar Space Wolf Salamander Sisters of Battle army with lots of bikes.

Bikes are weak sauce, but the rest I don’t think I’d have been terribly disappointed in. I like the Arco Flagellant models, and fairly sure I could’ve used the characters as presents for friends.

But compared to the reported Aussie contents, I know which I’d have been happier with.

GW Aussie exceptionalism strikes again (I'm predicting a copy of Indomitus for GW Japan blind buyers).

Our Lootbox was $225 AUD which at current exchange is 125GBP so since we usually get bent over the table for price i think its ok haha

So what ended up being in the Underworlds box?

Another Aussie got his box

That’s a good box.

That picture makes me so happy!

Do we know what came in the Australian Underworlds box?

I haven't seen anything posted, but I haven't been looking as I didn't get one.

For the heavy prices you have to pay in Australia, you deserve to get a Knight in that box.

When I picked my Imperium up at local GW the Manager said it didn't contain the carry case but included more of the smaller boxes of models than the uk one did. I don't play underworld so I don't know which ones they were. The price here was $225 though, the same as the imperium one as opposed to £65 in then UK

Eh. I could have done with a Knight.

I have plenty of Scouts, could always do with more I suppose.

Bikes? I have some, could do with more to prevent me having to re-paint my Ultramarine ones to my home-brew.

The characters? Sure. I could have done that. My home-brew needs some characters.

Little sad I didn't get one now bit that's how the cookie crumbles.

That’s my Underworld’s box turned up. Yep. Identical to the Italian contents.

Godsworn Hunt, Champions, Playmat, Carry Case, card box, Beastgrave scenery etc.

Was hoping for a further war band, but overall not disappointed.

Wow! There's actually a Castellan in the box. I'm impressed. Also lends more credence to the rumors of a Baneblade in another box. Still a little Space Marine heavy, but I'm still planning to order a box if they ever offer one here in Freedom Land.

The baneblade box was fake, the UK got the same contents as the rest of EU apparently and since the boxes are fixed per region, you can't have the baneblade utopia. It was too good of a cadian deal that one, but not true.

Ah. That's too bad. It definitely felt too good to be true.

Are we certain the Knight in the Australian box is real? Does it’s box even fit in the box?
