But the old system let you build a team from a single box too, right?

Let you but didn't force you to. Over all it seems like the right way to go, as long as they keep releasing more kits like the two in that box.

[Local Trouble]

You should do something like this:

[Shasvre]

Ordered these today, gonna pick up some models next month.

I'm relieved the classic Ork Boyz kit hasn't been retired yet, coz I need to fill out a couple of units.

[Shasvre]

Are they doing a new kit for regular Boyz anytime soon or was it just the Beast Snagga's that got new models?

[[cancerblack]]

There's a new (annoyingly mono-pose and with mixed weapons) Boyz kit, but it's only available in the Combat Patrol box at present, so I figure I have a little while to grab another 3 boxes of the current set.

If I end up with any of those new ones I'll have to do some converting to get a coherent unit out of them but with the slightly larger size and more upright posture, they would make good Skarboyz...

[Local Trouble]

I didn't think you'd be away from the fold for long.

Still limiting myself to deep discounters and 2nd hand. I can't stomach the retail prices here and my grievance around their fomo nonsense stands.

Ah, that's right, I remember watching a review of that. Seemed to be lacking in weapons options as well, I think you had to pick up five or more units to fully equip a full unit of 20 boyz with shootas.

Yeah it's f**ked, the only options at all are head and weapon swaps for the unit leader and dedicated heavy. Thankfully I have spare parts for africa and I'm good with a knife/putty.

So, the new Black Templars look pretty dope.



Pre-ordered the army box, couldn't resist that John Blanche cover.

The first one (the non Primaris, Blanche inspired one), actually has my interest.

So watch it be some kind of obnoxious exclusive.

No mention of it being exclusive.

And they've been releasing other Blanche minis as well as regular releases.

So, fingers crossed...

[[cancerblack]]

Actually Veridyan was exclusive, then they changed their minds when it sold out.

But it really does strike me as the sort of thing that they use as an exclusive sweetner for a big box or a pointlessly limited store opening/anniversary model.

I hope to be wrong because I'd legit consider making that Blanche art as a diorama.
