Did we confirm whether the BA and DA ones are normal tactical kits + upgrade sprues? At $55, counting a 20-25% Discount, these will be just BARELY over $40 US. I would very much like to buy 4-5 of these as basic Imperial Marines, then paint them up for my Alpha Legion.

the DA one has the normal Tactical Squad with an upgrade sprue. The Sergeant has a DA back banner. Blood Angels use their tactical squad.

Armoured Assault up to pre-order on the Pacific countries, the prices https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Warhammer-40-000?N=102331+212457802&_requestid=13866498

The prices are £32.50 for all the bundles, except the Tyranid and Necron ones, they should costs £37.

There are also mini-bundles with 6 paints on pots of 3 ml for 9 factions: IG, BA, Eldars, Necrons, Orks, Skitarii, SW, Tau Empire and Ultramarines. Those should costs around £10.

There's also a 3 Tac Squad/3 Drop Pod bundle for the Marines, which is the same price as three of the 1 Tac/1 Pod Armoured Assault pack (rather than just the regular retail price of 3 Tacs and 3 Pods), so that's kinda nice.

That is a really good start to a Gladius Strike Force. I know free Razorbacks are in vogue, but a buttload of Drop Pods won't do you wrong either.

Will they be a oneclick-bundle or do you actually save money?

The BA box is $85. Seperately the same kits amount to $133.75. So yes, SAVINGS!

Very nice

I see that like the xmas battleforces UK third party sites are all saying they have been given very small allocations of these sets.

If you weren't camping their sites when they first put these up for pre-order it's direct to GW if you want one.

If I didn't already have 8 drop pods I would pick up some of the Marine boxes.

Will I ever need more than 8 drop pods?

Will you ever not need more than 8 Drop Pods?

TERRAIN PROJECTS!

Or sell them for profit?

Unfortunately the one thing I need less than more Drop Pods is more tactical marines, I have about 150. It's a shame it isn't a Razorback, I could do with a few more of them.

I was going to suggest just converting them into Deathstorm Drop Pods. But if you don't even need the tacs, then I guess their relay isn't any value in the box for you.

I'll definitely be picking up 2 of the Blood Angels ones to fill out my Tactical Squads. My plan had been to get the Start Collecting! and build the Preds as Rhinos, but I definitely don't need any more Termi Captains. Already got 3 and I think a 4th will come with the Terminator boxed set they have...

4 varieties of Space Marines, plus CSM, but no option for Tempestus?

Would have loved some Tempestus, but I can see why they didn't include it. It would barely be a change from the start collecting box.

The IG box though is a pretty poor deal.
