Yeah I was considering the company command, but I think I'll have to pass.

I can't eat a company command squad though.

 They're still less than what GW used to charge for2 of the  5x Multi-part kits, and less than the $20ea blind buy they were, BUT, I'm in the same boat. As much as I'd like to grab them, its more than I can afford all at one time

€85 for the terminators and €100 for the company command is too steep for me.

[Mostwanted]

I personally think the Terminators are great value if you haven't already got them. £6.50 per model isn't bad at all. The ancient on it's own was regularly selling for £60 when I was looking a while back.

[Rhavien]

85€ for ten terminators is actually far better than what I was expecting. At least you get two characters. Unfortunately the rest won't form a valid squad, though. 

[No Foes Remain]

£77.50 for a old command squad, with the captain, chaplain and librarian that they recently got rid of, and £65 for the Termie heroes? Nah, I'll pass thanks GW. If they had been around the £50 mark I'd have probably nabbed them for the parts but just under £150 for both of those is too much.

 

Shame as I did want to round out the Termie hero collection that I had.

[Xirix]

£65 I feel might have been reasonable for 10 Termies 'if' they had options, but since it's the Heroes line, that's not the case.

[Valkyrion]

I think the price is perfectly reasonable in context. A Captain and Ancient would be £25-30 each normally so you're getting a terminator squad for a tenner, plus 3 extras, for models that have never been on general release.

 

In isolation then £65 for 10 plastic soldiers seems excessive, but that's an unfair yardstick by which to gauge value, so within the context of the hobby I think it's fair.

Captain sure, but the still-available Blood Angels Assault Squad comes with a banner bearer as an option. I'll agree it's far more reasonable than I was expecting, and definitely good for anyone who just wanted the Heroes models.

It's a sick banner too for the BA so if you've got them as your focus just grab that squad instead. Has some great hits for Termies and all BA in general.

Man those blood angel terminators are just a snipers' dream lol.

[Gamiel]

Brought the 1st Company Heroes, will be great for my Terminator bits box.

 

I want to buy the Command set but I'm not certain I can justify to myself the expense after getting the Terminators.

They come with a helmet option.

Also it's just the paintjob. There is no BA iconography on the models.

Sadly I have to concur with the rest of you. Cad$150 is too much for me. Shame they didn't split the librarian and chaplain off to be individual purchases instead of bundling them with the captain and his squad.

captain and squad was about 70€ here when it came out. So putting two 25-30€ characters there is weird
