Burni Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Yeah, looking like a lot of the 'value' is in the terrain, although I could see those units boxes being in Heavy Intercessor territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excelite Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) What would you say the terrain is worth at separate box prices? Trying to work out how my mate are I are going to split the cost of 2 boxes (I'm taking all the terrain and Orks). I expect it to come around at battlezone charadon pricing in a couple weeks Edited August 9, 2021 by excelite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halandaar Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 What would you say the terrain is worth at separate box prices? Trying to work out how my mate are I are going to split the cost of 2 boxes (I'm taking all the terrain and Orks). Well we know these sort of boxes offer around a 40-45% discount vs buying everything separately, so there is about £230ish of "value" in the box. We also know the standalone prices of the core book (£30), essentials kit (£20) and cards (£12), and can make an educated guess at the price of the infantry kits (£39.50 each) which gives us £141 of product at full price, and so that puts the standalone value of the terrain kits somewhere in the region of £90.

cretacianborn Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Seems the NDA dropped today. Seeing lots of free boxes sent out and models appearing on Instagram already this morning. Nice unboxing article here. https://taleofpainters.com/2021/08/review-kill-team-octarius-starter-set-first-impressions-unboxing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Goonhammer unboxing and review are up also. Very excited by the Ork terrain after reading the unboxing - if the plan works and I end up with two lots of the scenery, I'm definitely going to make use that huge Ork building in games.

Mod edit: Link added. From the review: Games in Kill Team 2.0 take place over four rounds – called Turning Points for some reason – and are split into three phases: Had me a chuckle at that. And: though it remains to be seen if Games Workshop can curb its worst impulses and stop itself from adding dozens of new ploys to the game with every expansion. I share this concern. Not just with adding new ploys but just adding and adding and adding before really nailing the basics. The game sounds good though, and I'm super stoked to give it a try!

Lord Marshal Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) £30 for a softback is hilarious, especially when the vast majority of people will want the Compendium since most won't be running Veterans/Kommandos. Even at my most cynical I expected them to be £25. So much for being the gateway game. A newbie is looking at £92 of books and tat before they've even bought their first box of models. £80 if they ignore the cards, which can probably be read out of the book.

Lord Marshal Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Glass Half Dead pretty much only covers Kill-Team (and some other skirmish games), so whilst I don't ordinarily shill for influencers (heh) I feel most confident in taking his word for it. His TLDR: It's a fun game. Very strong theme, more so than 1.0. Mechanics are (spec ops) thematic, even in competitive. Directly compares it to a tabletop version of XCOM "It's more like Necromunda with 40k models" It's not fast paced. It's not simple. It's not 'easy'. It's not War Cry 40k. It's no longer a patched up 'smaller 40k' Octarius is a 'clear vision of the future'. Teams are standardised, no fiddling with individual loadouts Expects more Kill-Teams like Veterans and Kommandos to be the new normal, expect more 'SpecOps' models Compares using 40k models in the Compendium to 'Indexes' in 8th - holdovers until everybody gets a dedicated Kill-Team box Edited August 9, 2021 by Lord Marshal Petitioner's City, Lysimachus, Arkhanist and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
