Dark Shepherd Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 So whats going to be in the box? Looks like might well be Marines/Sisters/Necrons. My guess is 50/50 Imperium/Xenos split as Crons have more new units coming out rather than straight 3 way Marine section might just be Assault Intercessors plus characters going by leaks and previews Sisters inclusion is interesting...

Doghouse Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'm guessing some of those shield guys, Executioner/Chaplain/Champion guy, bikes and the Assault Intercessors all as easy to build.

Dark Shepherd Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 I dont think theyll bother with plain Inters, barring maybe sisters itll be all new stuff 5 Assault Inters Executioner Chaplain Volikite pistol character 3 man shield unit New/exclusive battle sisters would be sweet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364082-9th-starter-box-speculation/#findComment-5526571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TootiusNootius Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Some form of Necron HQ such as a Cryptek with Chronometron (We have the one with the cloak atm). [We only have the resin Chronoboy at the mo' - The Deathguard had a lot of characters in Dark Imperium]. One of those big Necron spider Dreadnought boys. [Dunno if this lad is an HQ or big elite so could be the big Lord of Contagion lad equivalent]. 10 x New Warriors (Not sure on this might be like the pox-walkers in DI and have two units of 10 with each gun - I can't imagine them going in units of 5 but they'll want some of each weapon type but that's a lot of gun compared to the marines). 5x Triarch Praetorians [The Silent King is back and the Praetorians are his heralds]. A new Heavy destroyer. [There is one in that leaked picture I think +Bottom left+].

Noserenda Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Id normally not expect to see Sisters mixed in but with the whole rest of the box sharing a similar statline it might be the marines to have the "chaffier" unit on their side. So maybe:10 Sisters and an HQ (or possibly elites) choice10 Assault Intercessors in 2 squads3-5 of the Assaulty shield chaps 1+ Marine hqsOn the Necron side id expect a whole bunch of warriors 10-20, a squad of the new 3 legged guys from the trailer and either the bigger version or some destroyers maybe, alongside 2-3 hqs probably at least one new type and scarabs to taste?Really id look at the video, i strongly suspect everything included (Except he poor doomed Guard) will be in the box.

Gederas Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 So, in that picture I count.... 10 Assault Intercessors, 3 of the Sword & Board guys, Lieutenant and Captain with Sword & Board, 3 Bikers, 3 Hellfuries (gonna call them that until they get officially named) a new Ancient and..... TWO Chaplains? Wait. Why are there two? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364082-9th-starter-box-speculation/#findComment-5526663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rendered pictures all look monopose to me including the bikes which is why I guessed this was these were the leaked images of starter set contents. Right now it's all speculation, no one knows yet so we can't outright dismiss anyone's guess because it's all opinion not fact. EDIT: Well looks like I was mostly right. :) Edited May 23, 2020 by Doghouse Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364082-9th-starter-box-speculation/#findComment-5526669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Isn't that the Captain from the trailer on the far left? Looks like Captain then Lieutenant to the right of him to me.

Dark Shepherd Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Going by helmet markings I really think its captain plus lieutenant plus 3 man unit Could well be wrong about gravis but he has the relic shield (and is in the video on his own). And dont think a 4 man unit fits. He also has a skull in his halo, as well as an n95 mask as someone said :), guy second from left doesnt have the chest broohe/shield either Edited May 23, 2020 by Dark Shepherd Blindhamster 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364082-9th-starter-box-speculation/#findComment-5526763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
