Lord Marshal Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Hadn't seen this posted here yet; accidentally(?) leaked from the German retailer Elbenwald. Keen eyes have noticed that compared to the existing starter set Marines appear to lose the Eliminator and Smoke-Grenade-Thrower, meanwhile the Plague Marines lose the Bombardier and Bolter-Dude. It is however 49 Euros vs the 87 of the current starter set and I've read speculation it's another one of those boxes they only sell in certain major bookstores/merch shops rather than something which is meant to direct replace the existing one: Dark Shepherd, Lork, DemonGSides and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386271-new-kill-team-starter-set/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I'm not sure who this would appeal to whilst the current box is still on the shelf. I get that it costs less but you wouldn't be able to play beyond this box due to not having a full team.

gideon stargreave Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 It appeals to me. I’m using a mix of primaris and death guard to make mk3 truescale. I’ll almost certainly get this Lord Marshal 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386271-new-kill-team-starter-set/#findComment-6121627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleCrumble Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Most likely it's similar to things like Blitzbowl or Fireteam; a self contained boxed games for bookstores etc. That probably also means we won't see it in the UK.

When the blind boxes first came out, I picked up two: the DG guy with Bolter and guy throwing a Blight Grenade. So: me. This boxest is specifically for me.

Cleon Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Also it's a cheaper price tag to get the plaguecaster.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386271-new-kill-team-starter-set/#findComment-6121704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSM Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) WARNING Apparently some people are getting a hold of this, and GW screwed up their promo photos. The set does not include the Malignant Plaguecaster ('Pustus the Vile'). It instead includes the 'Gurg the Foul' model (Bolter dude with zombie-ie head). Which is a great model, but if you were expecting a Malignant Plaguecaster...

Not sure it did anything but it was suitably cathartic for myself.

Nova-V Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Weird to have a starter set that is incompatible with the full game. I get having simplified/limited rules but missing models is much more of a problem for a player when trying to move onto next steps. What are players meant to do with the incomplete teams? The only way to continue is to rebuy the teams with the missing models.
