Apologies for the slightly blurry picture. Price is the same as last year double start collecting. All of them seem to be about a 30% discount.

Wonder if there’s more 40k one’s.
Space Marines are notable for their absence.

The previous page is probably filled with SM battleforces in all the colors of the rainbow. Automatically Appended Next Post: Can't really make out what the Ork one is. Two trukks? Three bikers and some boyz? Wonder what the HQ is, not a Dok again, surely? Automatically Appended Next Post: Hmm, no maybe a BW and a Trukk.

Primaris are too new to be discounted, and they don't want to push tiny Marines.

The Kharadron kinda sucks, doesn't it? Only 16 models and that's not even the biggest ship.
The rest seem at least decent to good. First Stormcast box ever with a respectable number of bodies.

I can always do with another battlewagon, don't have sag big mek. Lootas always handy and while I have several trukk's more always handy. Tempting if I didn't have big 30k purchase list already.

Well better indication of whether it sucks is how much savings AND how much of actually useful stuff there is. If much of the savings comes from "free" monopose character that comes in every box and nobody wants multiples then that's sucky box. If it's good saving on stuff people want multiples that's good one.

Don't want another Trukk and I have the SAG Mek. Shame. Otherwise nice box. The Arcanites one looks good. Guard one appears to be 20 Infantry, Command Squad, Russ, Chimera, Sentinel and 3 Ogryn. Tau one is 6 Stealths, 3 Crisis, Crisis Commander (?) and a Ghostkeel.

The Stormcast one looks like an Aquilor, a box of Hunters, two boxes of raptors, and a box of Palladors, but that doesnt equal thirty two models.
(1 + 10 + 12 + 3 = 26), CAD it is $285 for it all seperately, so it is about right, money wise...
I must be misidentifying something.
Last year was a Celestant Prime, pair of Dracoths, ten Liberators, five Paladins, and a Knight Venator.
Edit: with the gryph hounds i didnt make out, the box is 315 canadian, so 115 dollars savings - pretty good!

Tzeentch one is
- 20 Acolytes (1 box)
- 20 Tzaangor (2 boxes)
- 6 Skyfires (2 boxes)
- 1 Shaman
That's $235 for $170, so about 28% off.

The two posters above answered my question.
I certainly will buy either the Stormcast or Tzeentch one. Both look good!

Bit of a bland mix for the Tau, Slightly tempted by the guard box...
Can anybody confirm whether its only the 3 40k boxes? seems like such a missed opportunity considering how well they sell.
On that note, if they linked the release of a couple of codexes with some of these they would fly off the shelves.

Counted the Birds, yeah.
Edit:
This box plus Blight War gives you everything you need to run a decent Vanguard chamber army - Neave, Lord Aquilor, three units of Raptors, three units of Hunters, two units of Palladors, and some Gryph Hounds to give you deep strike protection. All in all, pretty good.
The box gives you enough models to build every kind of vanguard unit, assuming my ability to make out fuzzy details is correct!

Stormcast and Death seem to be a couple of nice bulky box sets.
Primaris one is needed though.

Can't confirm, but very much looking to be 'page two of two', so I reckon there's a few other 40k ones we've not clocked yet.

I'd be surprised if they didn't have a "Primaris battleforce", or even a "Death Guard battleforce" I'm not too excited about this year bundle. Last year SC and Sylvaneth was great.

Id be kind of shocked if there isnt a Primaris one with a Repulsor, unit of Intercessors, Hellblasters, Aggressors and Inceptors with a Captain. Maybe sans the Aggressors or Repulsor though.

I've enjoyed the previous Ironjawz battleforce as well. It's understandable, but a bit of a shame that there isn't a Destruction battleforce this year.

I missed that one! I had it in my hands and I thought I would get it later… well the later ended up being tooooo late. Sold out.

I really hope there's a page 1, could be since there's no header on the page. I'd be all over a Thousand Sons and/or AdMech megaforce.

The last years SC bundle was only good to buy one of, since the Celestant Prime is a unique and was most of the savings right there.
This years one has rebuy value, at least.
