excelite Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Welp, guess I was wrong. Kill Team is next week's pre-order!Is this the first time they called this the launch box and not the starter box? Feels like this will sell out right away as separate components will probably be expensive separately No it was called launch box right from the first moment in the stream and the first whc article… Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/17/#findComment-5727655 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Marshal Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 The books are presumably going to be at least £20 each, plus you've got the peripheral tat. Not exactly encouraging for a newbie unless they really want Veterans/Kommandos. The cards you can probably do without if you print them onto paper and/or read them out of the rulebook. The 'Essentials' I'll just give my business to somebody with a laser cutter for 1/3rd the price, although I wouldn't be shocked if the barricades turn out to be essential/free points to push people into buying the set. Boxset looks good if you want everything, until you realise you've got the Compendium to buy as well- assuming you can beat out the scalpers of course.

lansalt Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Yep, I plan to buy the manual, compendium and tokens/ruler for convenience. I hope it wont be more than 60 bucks with LFGS discount. We'll see about the cards. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/17/#findComment-5727682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 May well be that i do that in fact. The scenery in the set looks great value, but i dont need more scenery and i think the rule book will suffice for playing kt I'm thinking the same, to be honest - I really want the Orks, so I'll probably just pick them up when the squad box lands, along with the books. I really like the scenery, but I've already got enough to do a full Sector Mechanicus and Sector Imperialis table, so I don't need it, and don't really have storage space for it ...

I don't think it's a secret the vast majority of people will want the new Krieg models over Kommandos. You'll probably be able to buy them for less than RRP/LFGS discount off Ebay without much trouble.

01RTB01 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I'm looking at two boxes. I'd like 20 kommandos for one of each pose/ loadout and same for Krieg. Getting them built and painted within a week could be a challenge though ready for the new academic year.

Redcomet Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I am on the fence about getting the box. I only really want the Kommandos and rarely play games anymore.

Dark Shepherd Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Plus side is if you dont want the teams theyll be easy to sell on especially the Krieg, maybe even terrain too I have a feeling itll be just as economical to the buy the box than the essentials separate if you sell the Kriegers let alone the orks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/17/#findComment-5727704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the special equipment dudes have slugga choppa. I believe Krieg are the same. Does anyone know if the cards available separately are already in the launch box?

Getting them built and painted within a week could be a challenge though ready for the new academic year. (Hoping to offload the second lot of scenery, tokens etc for a sensible non scalpy price) Are there really two poses per? So... 1. Nob - 2 heads, power claw/ big choppa 2. Breacha ram/ slugga choppa 3. Kustom shoota/ slugga+ choppa 4. Burna/ slugga choppa 5. Shokk pistol/ slugga choppa 6. Knifey ork 7. Scoped big shoota 8. Rokkit launcher For each of those they have an alternative loadout of slugga + choppa + different head. That leaves two "regulars" that have alt heads, unsure on armaments. My current plan is one group of 10 with all the variant operatives, the other group of 10 mainly with gas masks and slugga/ choppa Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/17/#findComment-5727764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably be able to buy them for less than RRP/LFGS discount off Ebay without much trouble. To be honest, that surprises me a little, but there again, I like Orks, and my personal tastes say they're the better models (others may disagree ). Hopefully you're right, because I really want 2 boxes of the Orks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/17/#findComment-5727849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I don't currently have any 40k scenery, I really want those Orks, and Ork-themed scenery seems like a perfect thing to put on my hypothetical table, so I'll be taking part in the launch box gacha. If I don't succeed, I'll pick up the relevant contents separately later. Either way I really like everything I've seen re: the new rules, especially since "redo KT to be a bespoke skirmish game like Warcry" is a drum I've been banging since Warcry released. I still don't understand GW's aversion to making actual starter sets for specialist games, though.

01RTB01 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 It's £125, compendium is £30, dice etc are £20 a time, tac ops cards are £12 Indomitus priced for everyone as expected.
