Worst formation ever.

The formation benefit can be summarized as "OR bring a Sanguinary Priest and get a much better benefit."

Thanks to archibald_tk on warseer:

In case that wasn't already mentioned:

- Start Collecting Eldar (3 Jetbikes, 1 Farseer on Bike, 1 Fireprism)
- Start Collecting Dark Eldar (3 Reavers, 1 Raider, 10 Warriors, 1 Archon)

The week after hints at even more pointy ears, without precising for what system.

AFAIK we shall be able to see the new Start Collecting boxes when we finally receive our WD, preorders at the end of the week. So sooner than what was already mentioned.

They are indeed Tempestus and CSM.

Bon, pas de grosse nouveauté dans le White Dwarf de ce week-end qui parlera essentiellement de Lost Patrol. Néanmoins le teaser pour la semaine suivante m'a surpris puisqu'il annonce "Voie de l'Eldar"...

Update #3:

The Eldar Sketch-book is currently only available in a few Uk shops (as part of anniversary festivities)

As I've said many times in this thread now, GW Portsmouth were selling it for their anniversary the weekend just gone. It appears to be, at this stage anyway, limited edition for stores when their anniversary is.

“If you haven’t already heard, it’s the stores 26th anniversary on Saturday 25th June.

There are some exciting products available on the day to celebrate and today I’ll be showing off just one of them that will be available!

The Eldar Sketchbook is a tome of sketches and drawings of Games Workshop artwork and features never before seen sketches by Jes Goodwin. If you’re a fan of any of the artwork produced by Games Workshop then this book is for you!

If you’re interested in getting your hands on one of these very exclusive books then be at at the store early on June 25th!”

Well, here's hoping that the Tempestus box has a Taurox in it. If so, I think that's a box I'd be willing to purchase. The real question though, will be what vehicle will be packed with the Eldar set.

**Warhams-77**

A Taurox would make it a must-buy for me

Way of the Eldar could be something different than a Start Collecting box though. There is no info atm.

**Neronoxx**

Bizarre...

**BrookM**

So, chances are that the Tempestus will be another boxed set with the plastic commissar then. Plus probably ten Storm Troopers and a Taurox, I guess a Valkyrie kit is too big for that type of box.

**Warp Rider**

Any guesses on what the CSM box will have? I wouldn't mind the fiend kit being the big stand out in it. Plus, what could the formation be? Ooo excitment!

**Brother SRM**

I got my Scions army back during a Warstore Black Friday sale so I won't feel too bad about any potential lost savings here, but more Star Collecting boxes is always a good thing!

**BrookM**

Probably the overpriced champion blister, a box of regular marines and one of the newer vehicle kits.

**Zan**

I'm in need of a few basics to shore up my Tempestus, this box should be a nice value for me. I doubt there's anything I've not got plenty of in the CSM box but the more the merrier; hopefully it's a good value proposition for folks just starting with CSM.

**Chikout**

Gw Hull posted on their twitter account that a book full of eldar sketches is coming. That must be part of it. A start collecting box for each eldar faction would also be nice.

**Azazelx**

Reprinting some of the stuff from The Gothic and The Eldritch would be welcome for so many people out there. Not to mention how much new stuff has been designed since then...

Definitely. I've been wanting to make a little Craftworld detachment to ride with my Kabal, I've got the fluff all typed out and everything. A nice Start Collecting box would kickstart that project for sure.

The GW near me (Portsmouth) were also selling that but it was only for 1 day for an anniversary. Limited edition. I imagine its the same.

I just checked and yeah its for their anniversary on the 25th June.

**Binabik15**

More SC is always great. Filling them with ugly and/or overpriced clampack heros and ancient kits that should long be replaced, not so much. We'll see about those.

**Warhams-77**

Could someone (good enough in) french please help us with a translation? Is it a guess or the box contents?

J'ai apperçu une liste des sorties de cette semaine sur les réseaux sociaux (ça vaut ce que ça vaut mais rien de déconnant) et à côté de Lost Patrol devraient arriver deux start collecting.

La première pour les SMC contiendrait le seigneur Termite plastique, un kit de SMC et un hellbrute.

La seconde pour le Militarum Tempestus contiendrait deux kits de Scions et un Taurox.

Et la phrase d'accroche pour la semaine d'après serait "La voie de l'Eldar".

En espérant ne pas vous dire de bêtises.

Something like:

Terminator Lord, 10 CSM, Helbrute
Two Scions boxes, 1 Taurox

It will be basically the same as the SM box but more expensive for some reason.

**Draco**

I have waited a CSM start collection. Then new codex and maybe I would buy a rules too. Now I just paint and read Horus Heresy books.

That would be fantastic- love Jes' sketches and it would be a great source book. Hadn't thought of start collecting boxes for all the eldar factions- that would fit the Way of the Eldar better than just one for the craft world faction. Still would love plastic aspects but thats more likely to be alongside a Biel- Tan expansion you'd think.

**Warhams-77**

Start Collecting Eldar, Dark Eldar, Harlequins and a compilation of WD articles/sketches book? Would be great, really. Fingers-crossed!

**ImAGeek**

The Eldar sketchbook is limited edition for stores anniversaries.

Yeah just saw a pic of the cover on twitter- Eldar Sketchbook -looks class!!! Has a pic of Jes' farseer on the cover- the shops must have got them early as part of a special event, I am so buying that...

That would make sense to put it on par with the Space Marine box although personally I would rather have a fiend :-(

**The Grumpy Eldar**

Would have rather seen the finecrap sorcerer or the champion even. You get the plastic terminator lord with every csm big box. I have like 5 of them now.

**H.B.M.C.**

So no Commander/third item in the Stormy box? What a rip!

**Warhams-77**

There is a Commisar in the Tempestus set

This is direct from my trade rep.

This eldar sketchbook, will it be a limited run? Really want one but won't be in Europe until July.

**Warhams-77**

Release of the book on June 25 - rumored to be a limited edition, special event release. No confirmations atm

Image of book cover - from Twitter via War of Sigmar

Spoiler:

**ImAGeek**

It's just a release for the store because its their anniversary (for now at least). Portsmouth GW did the same the weekend just gone. The same products available there too.

**KiloFiX**

Lost Patrol is only US 60?

**MrFlutterPie**

If the MT box is 10 Scions, a commissar and a Taurox that ends up being a huge savings. $67 Cad savings in fact
