They had loads of Troggoth in 2020 and some in 2021. Shouldn't even be getting another box this year imo, though it's become clear over the years that the choice of which factions get a box isn't dictated by which have had them in the past.

If they cost the same as last year (160€), these are the discounts for each box:
(Used € for this so could be slightly different for other currencies)
Adeptus Mechanicus - 34%
Adepta Sororitas - 35%
Adeptus Custodes - 38%
Death Guard - 38%
Thousand Sons - 39%
Imperial Fists - 39%
Raven Guard - 39%
Imperial Knights - 40%
(Here I used the price for the normal Armiger box that builds both Helverins and Warglaives but the article makes it sound like you can't build all four as one version so probably a bit less if the extra sprues are missing)
Kinda glad in a very selfish way there was no xenos boxes. I’d be hard pressed to not covet an eldar or nid box.
I’ve got enough marines that things would have to line up just right for me to need another giant box worth. A 30k box might have triggered a purchase, but not more primaris.

When was the last time they did a terrain box?
I don't think they've ever done one. I didn't say it was realistic.
I like that Thousand Sons set, it's a perfect upgrade if you just have, or want to get, the Combat Patrol.
The AOS ones are all pretty ace. Kruleboyz is a direct upgrade from Dominion, and the Khainite and Sylvaneth ones are very very tempting.

Some good'uns in there such as the Imperial Knight set, which makes up for the abscence of models earlier in the year and also a well balanced selection. While there is no Horus Heresy set this christmas, this is still good for 30K Household players.
Shame there wasn't an Eldar set with Banshees or Reapers, as I would have been all over that. Also, a bundle for AT would have made up for this year's lack of releases. No Tyranid bundle! It would have been nice to have had discount on some Carnifexes, and other nasties from the Hive fleets. Lets hope those 40K 10th edition rumours are true...
There is always going to be disappointment if one's factions aren't included, but otherwise its not too bad.
Casual gaming, mostly solo-coop these days.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
Only ones I'm remotely interested in are the Imperial Knights and Custodes ones, except for the fact that I don't really need another big Knight and I already have Trajann. On the Knights one, I do need more Armigers and I could build and paint the big one as the actual Canix Rex. On the Custodes one, I suppose I could sell or trade Trajann; the other stuff in there would finish up my Custodes army quite nicely (even if it wouldn't be super meta competitive). It's gonna depend on the price and whether or not I actually have any spare cash at the time.
My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.
Grotsnik Corp. Sorry, No Refunds.
We will have Age of Sigmar boxes, but I dont see any news yet.

Pretty much this. Tempted to get the Custodes as it is one of the forces I don't have and am interested in starting.
