General Zodd Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The starter set is like £75 from most online retailers? Yes, and I took 2 to start with AT. I added a knight household box and a warminger (I like the look of it). In the near future, I'll add 2 warlors and I'll be done for 2 full armies with so many builds (maybe I'll just add a pair of warhounds). I think this is the cheapest game that give 2 full armies with many 1750 pts builds at this price! (about 330£ with the 2 warlords!) Yeah, it’s £72 from Dark Sphere. I can understand if your friends were put off by the cost of the Grandmaster Edition, but if they don’t think two Reavers, two Warhounds, two Cerastus, the rulebook and all the gaming accessories is worth 70-odd quid, I honestly don’t know what they’re comparing it to!

wildweasel Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The new starter...is the single best starting army set GW has put out for like decades. It’s $150 US and it’s a full 1,250 point force - and not like a janky “sure you *technically* can field this an army” but a robust selection of units and their weapons that have multiple play options. Plus the rules and stuff. What more do people want? o_0 Marshal Loss, Fajita Fan, Noserenda and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandragola Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Agreed. I'm thinking of getting a couple more warhounds. The new starter set is such a good deal that it's hard to say no to getting two more reavers and knights at the same time, for so little extra. I'm sure my Mortis could make use of them, eventually. For now though, must not buy more titans. Have enough stuff to paint! Fajita Fan 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Arkley Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 So disappointed the Astorum transfers are sold out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulahan Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yeah, this set is what is finally allowing me to get into the game to begin with! I've played once with a friend's models, and love it. But THIS is the thing that will let me afford to get into the game and have enough to hit the ground running with my buddies that have the Warlord Edition split and a Titan Battleforce box. Or something like that. I even picked up a banner of Questoris Knights to put together while waiting for this to come in. I'm super pumped about it. Kind of want to find someone else who wants an extra copy of the rules so I can buy a second box and have 4 Reavers, 4 Warhounds, and 4 Knight Lancers!

wildweasel Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Heck if you just throw the rules in the trash you are still saving around 33% give or take on the models alone. noigrim 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BolterZorro Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 If you can share, the knight household box is not bad either....while it is still available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulahan Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yeah, I'm honestly thinking of just picking up a second box of the new starter. 4 more titans and 2 more lancers would, well, that goes a long ways. Especially since I'm not planning on any Warlords for a number of reasons... Knight Household also tempting, though probably not as good a deal all things considered.

Fajita Fan Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Everyone should have a knight household! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yeah I'm trying to decide whether to get the starter set or knight household box when either are back in stock with the retailer I use - folks at GW have said the starter set'll be around for the long haul, while the household seems to be a limited production run so I'm tempted by the latter but the starter set is such a good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Knight Household box was part of the holiday battlebox releases, which are one and done. Iron Hands Fanatic 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughingman Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Might be a tangent: The reviews I've seen are unclear for shadow and iron: how do a significant number ordo-sinister titans end up on the other side of the ruinstorm?

Mandragola Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 If you’ll want a lot of knights then grab the household while you can. But the reavers and hounds in the starter will be used way more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the reavers and hounds in the starter will be used way more often. Yeah I was gonna go for the Knights but now the starter set is out I kinda realised I was only really going for the household set because it was there? Don't get me wrong, I wanna build up a decent collection of Knights (if only for narrative reasons), but I figure that as with the starter set, there'll likely be Titan bundle sets in the future which include knight kits - I'm trying to build my collection solely around the bundle kits (I started with the Battlegroup box).

BolterZorro Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Having jump to the starter set train, I'd like to "finish" the collection: only question is: How many warlords do I need? I've seen that many builds are without warlords. But also many are with one. Very few use 2+. So, what do you think? 0? 1 or 2? (already have 2 starter+knight household+1 warbringer, also in the future, I'll add mayber a pair of warhound for a grand total of 6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(already have 2 starter+knight household+1 warbringer, also in the future, I'll add mayber a pair of warhound for a grand total of 6) My recommendation would be to get one of each Warlord variant, with plasma and volcano cannons. That gives you the best options I think and it's more efficient than buying the weapon sprue seperately. And check out ebay and resellers. Warlords appear on there pretty often, usually with bellicosas. I once played a game with only one Warlord. 2-3 is my preference. But each to their own.

Noserenda Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Warlords are awkward, personally i dont see me ever playing with more than one because im quite aggressive but they are such pretty models :D Id buy more if they werent priced out of step with everything else (Except the warbringer *sigh*). That said in your specific circumstance you already have basically everything else lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
