Not really sure if I posted this in the right area.

So I bought a Tervigon a long while back and I liked painting them at least Might be fun for diorama purposes to.
I was wondering if the Tyranid Swarm box is a good deal. I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something. Counting most of the stuff in there I'm coming out on over 200 euros, and the box itself 135 euros. Am I just stupid and counted wrong or is it an actual good deal for something GW?

I think it's an actual good deal. Like battleforces

There have been like ten threads on this one box.


The Tyranid Swarm, just like the Space Marine Megaforce and the Dark Elf "Warhost of Naggaroth" boxed sets, are good deals. They also line up with these three armies having their basic battleforces removed and replaced by these new boxes.

I was just wondering as the Normal Battleforces usually isn't that much of a good deal usually compared to this. So I was convinced I was doing something wrong.

@Kanluwen: Sorry 'bout that.

Battleforces are looking to be a thing of the past as armies get redone.

If the Dwarfs get something similar to a Megaforce/Swarm/Warhost, then it might be the final confirmation of this changeover.

I would actually like this change. Battleforces are usually not that good a deal, and these new boxes offer quite a discount.

I bought one from my friendly neighbourhood GW discounter at a 20% discount, I reckon it was approximately half GW standard price at that rate! Nice box too, can be reused for other things.

Also, i've been working on them all day, and all those gaunts can just as easily receive some of the many many extra termagant arms to just be even more termagants.

Almost any 'Nid player is going to end up needing 80+ of them so building them all as such gets that out of the way.
