Warhammer 40K: Top 5 Most Useful Start Collecting! Aggressors are a surprisingly good pick for Space Wolves, who really like using the Lone Wolf Stratagem on them when opponents can only wipe out 2/3 of the squad with their new profiles. The contents aren’t terrible however and if you’re building an Ork horde you’re going to need savings wherever you can get them. If you’re collecting Nurgle Daemons you want Plaguebearers and Nurglings en masse, and at least one Poxbringer too. We do know a new Codex is on the way in October and there is probably a new wave of things coming then. The Start Collecting box that gets our vote for “the next one to be discontinued,” there’s not a ton this particular box has to offer. In today’s article, we’re looking at the different Start Collecting boxes that Games Workshop offers and evaluating them both in terms of their contents and how useful those units are, their savings to the purchaser, and the amount of points they give players for their investment. Enterprising modelers can repurpose the Herald of Khorne from the Blood Throne to make this a 4-model kit with a Skullcannon and Bloodmaster, which gives the kit a little bit more value. The Orks box has the dubious honour of being the only Start Collecting without a legal HQ choice in it, thanks to force organisational changes in 8th edition. Savings-wise this is decent, but the contents are rubbish. Go AD FREE today! Emphasis added. If you want to get some Scions on the table there’s basically no better way to do it than this – turn the Commissars into terrain statues or convert them into other things. This box is also fantastically packed with extra bitz you’ll use on future models. Indomitus hit stores and that was cool and all for anyone that could get their hands on one. Squads of Scions and Tauroxes are pretty much all there is to have for the Tempestus, and the Scion kit is a dual one which lets you build the Tempestor Prime and a Command Squad too, and is full of cool bits. This one ticks all the “generically useful” boxes. 40k Aeldari Beginners blood angels chaos chaos space marines Corrode Daemons Deathwatch drukhari featured guides hobby Necrons Orks Review reviews Space Marines space wolves Start Collecting tau Tempestus Scions thechirurgeon tyranids, ©  2020 Goonhammer. In my mind, that only increases the value. If you were getting started, three of these boxes wouldn’t be a bad investment by any means. Necrons Box go and can we get a new one? Well, two out of three ain’t bad. The most dubious unit in the set is the Burning Chariot, but depending on how you want to roll, you can use the Exalted Flamer from it separately instead. But the box really is two sets in one. Dark Eldar: Pretty strong too. The Captain and the Overlord actually share a sprue but GW could clip that at the factory for easy repackaging. As a Starting Thousand Sons player, you want all of these models in your army, and the savings on this box are pretty great. And you know that a massive wave of new kits is coming. The only place you can actually get Venomcrawlers, Greater Possessed, or the new Obliterators, the new SC: Chaos Space Marines is a pretty decent deal, even if those were available elsewhere. Hopefully getting sorted out as we wait for October…. Box that would be considered a power-list in the making, it has to be the Thousand Sons box. Space Wolves don’t have Troop Scouts, which makes Intercessors even more useful for them and the Primaris Battle Leader is a fine HQ to have. You can also get by pretty well without the units in this box however, so it’s also not particularly necessary to buy. boxed sets from Games Workshop, it’s hard to argue that they all aren’t a good value. The main strike against it is just how old most of these models are – the Cadians are some of the earliest plastics still in use – and the fact that Commissars aren’t that great.
