I really don't understand the Krieg box then, not only with how little points it has but that it also has the worst discount of all of them? I thought it would be a bit cheaper then as they did that before but if they all are £155 why make a box that both has the lowest points and the lowest discount at only 23%

 

Possibly because pretty much everything in the Kreiger box is new I think. The Slaaneshi one is all less than a year old too, I wonder what the total discount is like on that.

Has anyone/site provided a list of savings for each box?

The Tyranid box seems like a good way of getting some discounted monsters but that's about it.

Spikeybits have a breakdown for each box but each one is a separate article.

It’s an interesting one. I’ve got the tyranid half of the ultimate starter (aka a combat patrol). The big monster set might complement that well if I wanted an army. Alternatively though, I could get the tyranid half of leviathan to still have a neurotitan and screamer killer, plus loads more little guys. 
 

That’s the better choice, clearly. And better yet is to do neither, as I don’t actually play 40K.

The other thing to consider with the value of the boxes is the age of the sculpts. The Tau set has a lot of fairly old models in there which have been available for some time, in other boxes and can often be picked up second hand. The Emperor's children in contrast are all new and shiny and this is largely the first opportunity to pick them up cheaply after the launch box.

The bigger issue is that the tau models are fairly expensive compared to many others. Crisis suits are an £€$ outlier compared to their peers generally.

My FLGS put up a video today, saying that they've gotten the Battleforces, and will be selling them with a 20% discount for £124. Doing the maths, that's £155 RRP in the UK.

 

They also said that they got some of the number they requested, but at least enough that they will be selling them online, rather than just in-store only like what happened with the Kill Team: Dead Silence box last week. So hopefully, it's not too difficult for people to get a battleforce they're looking for.

 

I have decided to try and get the Krieg battleforce, but won't be too upset if I'm unable to get it.

My FLGS is doing a 15% discount and a pre-pre-order so I put myself down for the Votann box as I can't get to my phone when pre-orders go live at 10am in the UK.  Just hope they get the allocation or I'll be disappointed (my wallet wouldn't mind too much though).

[Larkhainan]

welp, got mine

 

has anyone ever seen havocs converted to chosen? I wanna use the heavy weapons on legos and need 5 more chosen anyway, but google searchs have turned up nothing

[Marshal Loss]

Bought the EC battleforce even though I don't need it because after roughly a decade of constant begging for EC models, I feel obligated to buy anything they release

 

(give me more models please GW) 

[Redcomet]

My FLGS got one of some, and 0 of others. So they sold out in minutes. And by the time I had browsed around all others were sold out too. 
 

so congrats to those of you who got the one you wanted

[Matcap86]

Huh over here several stores still have plenty stock while others got sold out before they even hit the webstore. Weird disparity. 

[Karhedron]

Several stores seem to be selling them at RRP which diminishes the value. Unless you want every unit in the box, you are not saving much over the usual RRP-20% for buying the individual units.
