Its about 2k points altogether. As a 1v1 it's badly balanced purely because of the Spartan but it would still be very easy to split between 2 or 3 people.

**Galas**

I LOVE allí the content in the box. But the price tag IS gonna be too much to justify in a single sitting.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

In other, but related news, seems WHW’s HH Event is going to have Exclusive Models on sale.

No idea what they are at this point, but they’re One Per Customer. At least for now.

Once we’ve seen them, you know where the Loot Group is.

**judgedoug**

As someone who hasn't played HH at all, but bought a Word Bearers army at a nice discount from a local person a year or two ago, I'm actually pretty stoked on this launch box. I'm planning to get it and do a loyalist force out of it so I have two opposing forces.

This question might be super dumb, and I apologize for it but I've not had any coffee this morning yet.

So I can assume that this box could be used just to build one coherent force, right? Or are some of the options locked to Loyalist/Traitor?

You assume correct, the only Loyalist/Traitor exclusives are Legion Specific, or the Knights Errant. (I.E. Loyalist EC cannot take kakophoni)

Cool, cool. I'm excited about this. The new White Scars stuff has me really interested in Jumping back into the game. Those Kesig Terminators are beautiful.

My biggest issue is that I have zero desire to buy resin, so if there is not going to be a substantial plastic release cycle, I don’t think I want to invest.

I think pretty much all Legion specific stuff is still going to be Resin.

**jullevi**

To me the thought of adding 54 more miniatures to the backlog is scarier than the price tag. The launch happily coincides with the start of 8 week summer holiday and fattest paycheck of the year but I have so much unfinished stuff I should be working on instead. I could begin with by building and painting the models from Betrayal of Calth and Burning of Prospero

By the way, whose turn it is to circle all the duplicate models this time?

Seeing as some of the more popular kits (Spartans, Contemptors and Sicarans) were taken off the FW store and the first two are already confirmed plastic releases, resin isn't going to be a huge concern unless you are going into things like Primarchs or specific vehicles.
There is a lot already about from GW in plastic that is usable in HH and kitbashing or converting is very prominent.

**Sacredroach**

Definitely going to be getting at least one of these to bulk up my Emperor's Children. I don't have any Spartans...but this will be the 4th Contemptor.

I still need another 5 Palatine Blades, but my unit of 10 Phoenix Terminators is finally finished. Next step: the Glaive.

If I had but one wish that Father GW would grant me, anything I desired, it would be a plastic Fellblade/Glaive kit. They did it with the Baneblade. They can do it again. If we just believe....

**Plant**

I'm very much looking forward to the inevitable ascended Horus vs emperor kit. (Dont kid yourself they wont make it- They spent three sprues on the warmaster titan, the final dual kit will sell loads more than that did. )

**Crablezworth**

I just want the tank, it was always just too heavy and awkward to put together for me in resin. Rest of the box, meh.

The Emperor has already been mentioned in the rules (if you take Valdor he must be your Warlord, unless you've also taken the Emperor), and at the time FW confirmed he was on their roadmap...

**MeanGreenStompa**

Buying two of the boxed set, one + the spartan in the other to round off my basic troops etc for my Alphas, the second set of infantry to commence my as yet undecided filthy loyalist army...

That was the same pic but blurry. He’s claiming the clear version

Awesome, I'd imagine it will arrive at a similar time to the siege of Terra finale books.

Excellent point...I would love to have a second Glaive for my Space Wolves as a relic unit. I remember when they first released the Baneblade plastic kit, my group went kind of insane with all the build options...I think my friend Chris bought five or six of them for his Mordian force. I really should call him and see how he is doing...

I wonder if they could do the same thing with the BB kit for a new HH FB kit, even incorporating the other SH models like the Falchion and the Typhoon?

I don't talk about the leaks from last Year...

**Agamemnon2**

I'm still torn on whether or not I want to invest in the big box. I have no desire to play HH (since to do so I'd have to adhere to and care about minutiae of the official fluff), but I figure I could sell one Praetor and 10-20 MkVIs, maybe along with the rulebooks, to someone interested in starting the new edition with a smaller expenditure - though since GW is going to be releasing smaller starter sets, I'd have to sell them off at pennies on the dollar most likely.

Contemptor is here

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/04/28/heresy-thursday-lead-the-charge-with-the-all-singing-all-dancing-contemptor-dreadnought/

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Fully posable as well

The Contemptor’s right arm can take ballistic weapons in the form of a bolt cannon or autocannon, or a tank-busting melta cannon or lascannon. Meanwhile, the mighty left-hand power fist can be equipped with a built-in combi-bolter, heavy flamer, plasma blaster, or meltagun. And if you fancy adding some high explosives to your walking arsenal, you can even outfit your Contemptor with a carapace-mounted havoc launcher!

Contemptor weapons

Having loads more weapons options is one thing, but perhaps the greatest triumph of the new kit is in its posability. The Contemptor Dreadnought has been cunningly constructed with full ball-and-socket joints at the hips and ankles, as well as half-ball joints at the waist and chest. Combined with the optional flat or bent toe components, and the rotating assembly joints and separate armour plates at the knees and elbows, there is ample opportunity for a really dynamic pose without the need for a complex conversion.

As if that wasn’t enough variety already, there are even options to outfit your Contemptor Dreadnought’s power fist with blunt fingers or sharp claws according to your Legion’s preference.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Lots of options and sounding pretty posable. I’m happy with that, even if without decoration it’s awfully plain.

**infinite_array**

I like the amount of options (and hopefully the weapons are designed to work on either arm so you can swap sides).

3d printed bits should work for decorations if GW doesn't have anything to offer.

I do find it funny that they talk about how posable it is... and then all of the preview images are boring and static.

**Gert**

Hm. So no C-Beam, Volkite, Kheres Assault Cannon, Plasma Cannon, or Chainfist. Thanks, GW very cool.
It might just be the lack of colour breakup between the armour panels but that looks weirdly smooth.

It looks like they should be swappable since the central thumb should let the fist work on either side and the upper arm seems to use the same connector for the elbow.

Worst off some clipping of plugs would be all it'd take.

**Mr.Pickels**

I really like the bland Contemptor for Iron Warriors, I'm probably not going to get the box due to the mark 6 power armor, but I would definitely keep an eye out for people parting it out to get the Contemptor and Spartan. If it came with Mark 2 marines I'd be breaking my bank account wide open for multiple boxes.
