I use Razorbacks at the moment, since they are decently cheap on Ebay, so that is an option. You'd probably want to order some Taurox turrets for them though.

Why not look for a ww2 german half track of some sort. it would probably fit the aesthetics fairly well.

Since the Rhino chassis is a ubiquitous design, having the IG use it like the SMs do make sense. Lots of guardsmen probably drove them before joining the Guard.

Start Collecting! Blood angels and new flyer sets

I can't read the prices, but I imagine if they're anything like the Knight starter kit it's going to be basically the price of 1 to 1.5 flyers for both.

Unfortunately, you get 2 factions. Which is great if you and a buddy play factions that are both in the set, or you happen to collect both, but otherwise might be a tough sell.

Can't see the price, but the Tau/Necron one interests me...

The price on the SM/CSM and Eldar/Ork one look to be $100 US, I’d assume all the boxes are the same.

€80 for the flyer sets!

The Bangles set is of little use to me. Ball Predators are garbage and I already have Karlaen. I still might get it though. $85 for a tank, tactical squad, and a character is a fair price. Who knows, maybe they will make tanks sucks less.

Anyone know if these will let you build both the variants?

The lopsided savings make it a little rough to split the box. Stormtallons are $55 to the Heldrake’s $74. And I don’t see mention of parts to make the new flyer. As a marine player, not a lot to make me want to pick this up.

For okr/eldar players, their birds are $65 each. So splitting it makes a lot more sense. Not sure if the new ork parts are in there, which would be a minus for them. Eldar just have the one kit.

If the tau/necron box is the same price, it’s the worst deal. A ^65 and $45 kit each.

The BA box actually looks like fun. Tac squad, Baal, TDA captain.

Description of one of the sets mentions that you can build and use both variants of the flyer kit, so no worries there?

Well, a BA tac squad in a rhino is going to set you back $80 anyway. $5 gets you the parts to make a pred and a captain.

That's crazy on the flyer sets. And interesting that there's not one for the Guard.

Ah yes, the Valkyrie is such an exciting adversary for dogfights!

Hey, if the Doom Croissant and the Tau can get one so can the Guard.

This would've been an awesome opportunity to do a plastic Thunderbolt or Lightning kit, but nope, the Imperial Navy doesn't exist in 40k these days outside of flying transports.

Naw, I will probably still build the Baal Predator. BAs are bound to get something good for them eventually. I will need to figure out what to do with Karlaen since I already have him. I am going to combine the BA Tactical Squad, a BA upgrade kit, and a vanilla Tactical Squad to make two Tactical squads. That will give me a total of three.

Never say never, Brook!

I think we really are headed to a new edition with updated books, given that all we've been getting of late seems to be Formation heavy books that don't really have points values within them. Just formation listings.

What is cross-multiplication?

Thanks Zamerion

Next Start Collecting set - Blood Angels

Three new boxed games - called Stormcloud Attack - are mentioned in the Visions preview

Exactly what I was thinking. You get an HQ, Tac Squad and Rhino chasis with options for $85 - less on line.

Great deal for Marines.

Plus you get a formation that doesn't exist yet elsewhere, so...that's cool.

Especially when the Baal Predator's sprues have loads stuff to really make the Rhino look unique. One could even make a makeshift TL Assault Cannon Razorback.

it says it makes them fight harder. Probably grants them Rage for a turn or something dumb.

I really like the box art for the flyer bundles oddly enough. Usually don't like the "models on cover" look, but these look kinda fun with the lasers and explosions.

Thanks alot

So what start collecting 40k box is left (not harlequins)?

If Skitarii can get one, Harlequin can as well.

Other than Harlequin though,we're missing a Dark Angels, Grey Knights, Khorne Daemonkin, any flavor of Daemons(the boxes that exist now have rules strictly for AoS), and Cult Mechanicus from what has plastic ranges.
Add in Sororitas and Inquisition if we just count off armies that don't have one.

Grey Knights are left (I thought we had Dark Angels already?)

Harlequins could make a really good box. You could have a troupe, a bike squad, and maybe a shadowseer.

Nope, Space Wolves and Blood Angels are the only ones who got Start Collectings from the Space Marine variants.
