Oem Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 With the release of new codices its only matter of time when we get our own Genestealer Cult codex. Since some factions are already getting some love with their release maybe it would be good time for GW to make missing Start Collecting! Genestealer Cult set... Which units would you like to see in the set? Do you think, with most of Hq being on one sprue, it is difficult for them to do this? I know getting Overkill set is good place to start, but probably not the best for starting players and of course do not contain any of those sweet sweet multipart sets... Wishfull thinking, maybe some new release to spice up Cults?

Kastor Krieg Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's most likely gonna be - a box of Acolytes - a box of Neophytes - Goliath - Acolyte Iconward or some part of the Broodcoven Many in Arms One in Mind 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338540-start-collecting-genestealer-cultsthoughts/#findComment-4865871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's most likely gonna be - a box of Acolytes - a box of Neophytes - Goliath - Acolyte Iconward or some part of the Broodcoven Would love that - perfect for Necromunda (the Goliath can either be scenery or used if they introduce vehicle rules ^.^)!

Captain_Krash Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Seriously would love this. But the Goliath Kits are very expensive for some odd reason. Never understood why it should cost as much as a landraider and is about as powerful as a Ork trukk Krash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338540-start-collecting-genestealer-cultsthoughts/#findComment-4867193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Price of the Goliath isn't much of an issue, look at Battlesuits. £45 for 3 alone, or £50 with Fire Warriors and an Ethereal. Ditto for stuff like Carnosaurs or Thunderwolves. walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338540-start-collecting-genestealer-cultsthoughts/#findComment-4868026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Krash Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Everything you just mentioned has the potential to not die to a stiff breeze. Like I said the Goliath is no more powerful than an Ork Trukk, the price of the kit is not justified in the least. I should probably speak of what currency I'm referencing. Goliath is only 35 pounds Goliath in US dollars is 60 Which doesn't make any sense. 35 pounds is 45 dollars currently with the exchange rate. I want like 10 of the Goliaths but can justify spending 600 on useless units.

Raktra Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Maybe be clear about that then. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338540-start-collecting-genestealer-cultsthoughts/#findComment-4870435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oem Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Like I said the Goliath is no more powerful than an Ork Trukk, the price of the kit is not justified in the least. Goliath is dual kit with Rockgrinder and couple more guns (and newer kit..damn you GW)... but yeah.... even with all of those units in one set, they are extremely squishy... Also a thought..."Return to the shadows" as strategem..anyone? ;) Raktra and Aothaine 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338540-start-collecting-genestealer-cultsthoughts/#findComment-4871888 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a thought..."Return to the shadows" as strategem..anyone? This and the Goliath kit is really damned amazing. A lot of love went into it. It is one of the few vehicles that appears to be the correct size for the models it can hold as well.

Sircyn Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The extra crewmen are great for ransacking bits to mix up your Neophyte blobs too! The Cult leaders are all on one sprue so I can't imagine that going in, the Icon Ward is the only candidate at present. Unless they treat us to a new character blister.

Malios Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Its no secret that some start collecting! boxes are better value for price then others (gaming value of the contents may vary depending on how or why you play this game so such is not being compared in this context.) But, we do know that they generally (except Tau) contain 1 character, 1-2 boxes worth of infantry and 1 vehicle/monstrous creature/chariot and they're all plastic. On one spectrum you have the astra militarum box whose contents are worth $176AUD individually, and the space marines box whose contents are worth $168AUD. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the mechanicus box's contents are worth $239AUD and the Tau box contains $235AUD worth of minis. My money's on an acolyte icon ward, a box of neophytes and a Goliath because they fit all the criteria and their price falls between these two price spectrums already seen. But, GW still works in mysterious ways... we could get a used napkin with a statement about the four armed Emperor worth $140AUD for all we know.
