I cant justify £60+ for a set of minis I already have and havent actually touched.

 

£40 or less and I would genuinely consider it as a source for them though. One of the main reasons I have done nothing with the ones I have is I am saving them for my DA but just not feeling it for painting them  and fancy dabbling with a different marine force/scheme for a bit.

I 100% understand. I went through with the purchase for the opposite reason. Not bragging, just explaining why I’m picking this up for my pile of potential.
 

I’ve painted all the things except the Judiciar. I’ve wanted more Eradicators because they’re the only anti-tank/monster infantry I like (and I prefer infantry over tanks). This let me get them and more Bladeguard (this’ll make 9) at a some pounds off; I think they’re normally £37 each? Individual characters are stupid expensive; I refuse to buy them as single boxes (except Helbrecht, and I regret that). This box nets me three effectively for free. I can use them as is or for conversion fodder. For example the Bladeguard Ancient I’ve painted was first converted into a Librarian.

Yeah £60 is a bit too much for me. Hopefully I might be able to get one from Germany.

That looks great!  I also never buy characters on their own. I've been working out how to do the company heroes too and think I'm probably gonna do similar to what you have but with the sword upwards, for the Champion in the squad (I'll be using the ancient from DI)

I am theoretically going to snag a box tomorrow. After refreshing target's website daily for a few weeks found one in stock semi locally that allowed me to order for pickup.
Question for those that have it, do the eradicators come with the multi-melta option? Doesn't look like it but just checking.

Nope, it’s the easy fit sprue from Indomitus boxset. If you have a spare melta barrel, pretty easy to convert.

I managed to ordere one of these from Elbenwald. They seem to refresh their stock at like 2am (BST) - i had an email reminder set up off the page and happened to be awake early, but its the 3rd time I've got one and the other two times they've been gone by 6-7am.

The product photo is in German and when I've ordered a 40k game from them before it's all been in German, so while I'm not 100% sure, it's probably safe to expect the documentation will be in German.

most of this box is just bought out because it´s what... 50% cheaper then the Honoured of the chapter and most people want the models for conversions

Dawn of war is $50 at Target, Honored of the Chapter msrp is $168 so its 70% cheaper.

Yes it is in german

 

Just wondering if anyone has actually played a game of this, and if so is it any good?

It's terrible. I've been buying the "Space Marine Adventures" board games for my nine-year-old over the last year and this is a major step down from that already low bar. 

 

TL;DR: It's complex, but boring. 

 

It also feels cheap. The board is quite nice and the minis are good, but the chits for the Ork hordes just have abstract symbols, whereas prior games had pictures of the enemies. There isn't much decision-making to be done in the game. There are four character types, but all the bladeguard and Heavy Intercessors play exactly the same. In the other games, each character has a clearly valuable special ability that feels thematic – here, they're all kind of blah. The other games introduce you to the world via special action cards, this game reuses the same couple of buffs for everyone. 

 

The Necron SM:A was the best in terms of a board game experience. The Tyranid one had better minis, but stripped much of the flavor. This has great minis, especially from a value POV, but the game experience is dull as dishwater, especially for my purposes of trying to get a kiddo into the game. For an adult, you'd be better off doing literally anything with your time left on Earth.
