You end up saving about 10 pound. That said, I got an email from FW a while back saying they were adding new bundles and removing some others like the strike force.

I recently ordered a Strike Force which was cheaper than picking items seperately, but i also added shoulderpads, torsos and heads to the cart which bumps up the price a fair bit if you're going to customise every marine.

Another option, if you're not too set on every marine looking "perfect," is to pick up some of each armor mark, and a box or two of plastic tactical marines, and dump all the body parts into a box and mix-and-match to basically represent MkV armor.

The thing about the bundles is that they are only a savings over buying ALL of the items separately. If, for example, you already have a pile of plastic bolters, and you don't need the characters or the command bits, then it is cheaper to just buy the base models themselves. But if you do need the era-specific bolters, upgrade bits, characters, etc., then the bundles are a good deal. I would definitely suggest making an army list first to build your shopping list.

Are any of you familiar with the Legion Tactical Squad bundle from FW? Is it cheaper than buying the kits separately?

C'mon, seriously?

I've seen people use Dakka as a Google substitute, but never as one for a calculator.

Have you considered using Anvil Industries Exo Lord's? There's plenty of good stand in parts for Mark 4, 3, 2 and even mk8 style armour. Plus plenty of nice weapons too. And it's dirt cheap but with very nice crisp quaility.
