Legions Imperialis Legions Imperialis Saturnine Battle Group + Marine Super-Heavies

2 years? That's basically an entire 40K edition

If they didn't insist on putting the rapier/tarantula support set in everything these would all be more tempting to bulk out my forces.

Yeah I'm not one for support platforms, just for my own theme.

I wish they’d use these big boxes to split sprues, giving you more of fewer things. Nobody needs 6 Xiphons but if they’d given you 3 and a storm eagle you’d have a much more useful set of planes - and so on. You shouldn’t really need to buy eight vindicators with your Saturnines.

 

Fwiw the article says the Saturnine Termies and Dreads are also coming in their own box if you don't want to grab the Battlegroup (12 Termies, 2 Command, 4 Dreads).

 

Interestingly the Combat Forces do split the sprues up (3 Dracosans, 5 Rhinos, etc).

Quick clarification, it's 6 bases of termies per box. The 12 is a typo, that's how many you get in the battleforce.

It certainly seems like a typo but has GW actually said it is somewhere? The article still says 12 terminator bases in each box.

[Mendi Warrior]

To the best of my knowledge, GW hasn't said anything about that. It is an assumption based on the comparison between the individual box and the bundle. The question was raised on the FB post about the Saturnine box and bundle but GW didn't react to it (so far).

My "worst-case scenario" approach tends to favour the typo. The "best-case" would be that there are 24 bases of Saturnine terminators in the bundle of course  Edit: but with 76 models in the bundle, that is unfortunately not the case ...

"Getting a head start with this heavy assault force couldn’t be easier – all the new kits above are collected together in the Saturnine Battle Group box, which also pairs them with a squadron of heavy vehicles.

You get two of the Saturnine Heavy Assault Cadre sets – for a total of 12 Terminator squads, four Command squads, and eight Dreadnoughts – with one set of eight Araknae platforms, eight Vindicator Siege Tanks, two Mastodon Super-heavy Assault Transports, and two Fire Raptors."
