Starbreaker Battlesuit — Box Art ConceptFor the Greater Good. ⚔️Took my latest custom build and pushed it into a full Warhammer 40K–inspired box art concept for the T’au Empire. From pose to paint, this one was all about capturing that cinematic battlefield energy.What do you think—does it look box-ready?

Thanks! I saw this thirty-third hand, and while it didn't feel legit. I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

(I'm still disappointed that the Beserker Surgeon didn't pan out either.)

None of that even looks like GW's aesthetic...

I know–
It made Tau look good.

I'm so glad it's not real... I was sorely tempted by those beautiful mecha...

Yeah, well, it's nowhere near the worst thing AI has been putting out this week...

Google it.

So leaving behind the mess that is AI

The Sisters Battleset is £105 and being a tiny bit generous on numbers (as it doesn't fully have half-numbers for a few squads) its about £165 in value compared to getting the current models from the GW webstore.

And they are all models no one could get in quite a while. I think this is actually pretty cool.

They're both cheap and easy to come by second hand to be honest. I got that set minus the canonness new on sprue for £35 not long ago.

£40 if you got it with the partwork a couple of years ago...

I'd want the nice box and the book even though the book is out of date now.

So, they priced it as a Combat Patrol, even though it isn't a complete Combat Patrol?

Fixed that for you...

Any chance of just banning AI images on Dakka?

And those who just regurgitate AI tripe - sorry, text - as their posts.

The saddest part is that I talked to two people at the shop today who were super excited for this (they bought into Sisters after these models had come and gone).

GW can charge whatever it wants sometimes, and they will find buyers.

As I noted above, whilst the price is MUCH higher than it was in the past for this set of kits; they are still cheaper than getting separate kits from GW. If you're starting Sisters or really want the custom options and don't want to go hunting ebay (which is mostly insane scalper prices) or FB trade groups - its not a bad easy choice.


Honestly for me Sob are a long term "one day maybe" army and if this set was £80 I'd have gone for it - at £105 its just a touch too much to really grab me.

Titus & Co, new Necron Lord, C'Tan Shard, and first part of the "500 Worlds" end of edition narrative campaign all coming next week :

And I would fight 500 worlds, and I would fight 500 more. Just to be the insane Necron Lord that shoves a whole Nightbringer right through your door!

Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four, Lord I'm five hundred worlds away from home.

I totally sang this. Have an Exalt, Doc!

Also, that was probably faster than I expected. Not a bad way to kick off 2026.

Bobby Davro! Bobby Davro!

Come on, rest of Dakka! Sing along!

Ahem.

Because I’m a sucker for background, and don’t like not knowing? I guess I’m spending some money next Saturday.

Zero interest in the fancy one though.

I will however tip me hat to GW for releasing the new Necron rules at least on Warhammer Community.

Wasn't Nightbringer meant to be in that leaked killteam box?

His rules are but he was always a separate mini sales wise.

I’m also gonna add in I hope we see some Psychic Awakening brain teasers in the forthcoming background sections. Those proved quite good fun to interpret.

It's the same price as the combat patrol version. Which was the same models...plus a Rhino.

That is the sexiest Necron box they could have possibly put together for someone who only really like the destroyer stuff.

I want it so badly, but that would put me at 7 armies across AoS and 40k and that's just not a justifiable number.

Everything related to 500 worlds is limited edition. At least they severely learned their lesson with that jazz(still looking at Lelith 9th edition).

A rules supplement that's "while stocks last" is such a gakky move.

End of Edition, innit.

So I guess we could say all the rulebooks are now While Stocks Last to some degree.

My guess is that there'll be a compilation of all the book content just like there was with the Boarding Actions stuff back in Arks of Omen, so it's only 'while stocks last' in this form.
