NTaW Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Looks like we'll be seeing a new use for Ghost Arks in the upcoming release of Apocalypse, since I can't see much of a reason for that model's inclusion with Wraiths and Tomb Blades in the box. Either way I'm happy to see a new avenue for army boxes and could definitely see myself buying this one whether I play Apocalypse or not. Contents look like: Plastic Cryptek 2x Tomb Blade kits 2x Wraith kits DDA/Ghost Ark kit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356642-new-army-box-for-apocalypse/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 GW has a habit of releasing expensive stuff right as I'm planning on buying other expensive stuff...much as I'd love to double my wraith, ark, and cryptek count, I don't think I'll be getting this box...I have a feeling a Seraptek will be more powerful in Apocalypse anyway. Cool box though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356642-new-army-box-for-apocalypse/#findComment-5332417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 They might be bundled together for the simple reason of not having anything that made more sense to bundle together...

Beatnik cryptek Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 This would be very tempting if I dindct have 12 wraiths already. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356642-new-army-box-for-apocalypse/#findComment-5332599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 OOH i likey this boxset... i could use a second DDA for MOAR Firepower and always up for more wraiths.. I've never used the blades how good are they?...

Tyriks Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I love Tomb Blades with Gauss. They're each two Immortals with +1T, better movement, harder to hit, equal wounds and shots, for 31ppm instead of 30 for two Immortals. The models are very annoying to build though so I don't have that many ready to go.

This statement i have heard from others... ,they sound good ,worth the effort ?!.. i might proxy some in a game to see their effectiveness thanks for the info Tyriks and lets wait and see the price point and if its a great saving or just a meh one Cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356642-new-army-box-for-apocalypse/#findComment-5332669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 There are about a million and a half conversion tutorials/examples online to make tomb blades different...not sure how they affect build easiness but they do exist.

Kaldoth Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Well, I need almost all of this stuff with the list I just made, so huzzah! :lol: Hopefully the bundle price is decent so I can save a little cash :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356642-new-army-box-for-apocalypse/#findComment-5332836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Well, here's a cost breakdown (in US dollars. sorry to any of you other folks): Ghost ark: 49.50USD 2 boxes of Tomb Blades: 41.25 each 2 boxes of wraiths: 47 each cryptek with cloak: 35 total in USD: 261, before tax. With any luck this will be 200. That said, I don't see it selling below 225, though I expect this will be modified based on the costs of other boxes. Not something I'll be buying but I may grab some tomb blades as I have everything else.

Tyriks Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I might buy it, if it's cheap enough. I have 3 DDAs but only one Ghost Ark. I could use a few more Wraiths, and I really should have more Tomb Blades, so if it's cheap enough I will probably grab it.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Per Faeit212 leaks, the apoc boxes are 100GBP. Even at generous GW conversion markup that’s still only 170USD or so. We are truly fortunate this day, my fellow Phaerons. I still have a seraptek to buy, though, so it’s a no go for me.

NTaW Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 They might be bundled together for the simple reason of not having anything that made more sense to bundle together... This is quite true, though the video promoting Apocalypse did mention that Detachments activate alternating between players and they have different roles to play in-game so here's hoping! I guess, upon reflection, that I own well over 10k points worth of models but don't have a single Superheavy option. Chances are if I were to spend ~200 on something it would be a Tesseract Vault or a Pylon but I am still quite happy to see army boxes that don't include Warriors and the plastic Overlord. Hopefully GW follows through on other Detachment boxes like this.

Kaldoth Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 USD prices confirmed at $170.00 ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356642-new-army-box-for-apocalypse/#findComment-5333456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Save 90 bucks, buy more wraiths! Or a canoptek stalker or something. That's amazing savings. Where is the confirmation coming from, if you don't mind?

Tyriks Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 A vendor price sheet was posted in N&R so it seems pretty legit. I think this will be a pass for me, though - if I ever used my Ghost Ark maybe I'd want another but as it is seems like I'm better off just buying more Wraiths and Tomb Blades by themselves. I always love buying these big bundles but at this point I think GW would be hard pressed to make one that I'd pick up unless there are new models...

NTaW Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 If that comes out to 200-220 CAD it will be $90-110 in savings, nab it at a retailer that offers 15% off and that's about as close to half off NOS models as I'm likely to get. GW, I'll take Air Wing and Spearhead Detachment boxes if you don't mind :lol: 3x Scythes or just about any heavy support combo will do!

Tyriks Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 3 Scythes I would jump at. I currently have one Doom Scythe and maybe a partially built Night Scythe. Either variant really needs numbers to be useful so a box of three (with a new plastic Lord with lots of options since we're wishlisting) would be great. Actually I should get my Scythes built and primed so I can vow them next in the ETL...

Mr4Minutes Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 That’s a good price, and a pretty good model list. The cryptek is a good model. Wraiths are good. Tomb blades are good. Ghost ark/ doomsday ark is another good option, If i didn’t already have 9 wraiths, I’d consider purchasing the boxset.

Bonzi Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'm so flooded with Forgebane splits that i got for a song that any kit that contains more wraiths or more of the cloak tek is an automatic 'no' for me.

MithrilForge Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I’m the opposite... I split “one” forgebane box with a mate (I feel like Charlie bucket ) so I can definitely do with more wraiths and more Arks and another Cryptek...heck I don’t own any tomb blades so this is a good opportunity... I’m guessing it’s going to be about $240 -$260 Aus dollars... that’s hefty for me but if the saving is what’s mentioned then we’ll... ;-) Cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356642-new-army-box-for-apocalypse/#findComment-5333736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
