Fun fact about the death guard cp box, you actually get 10 plague marines since there are half a marine in each poxwalker sprue (legs+ half a torso, backpack and left arm). With a bit of knife work and green stuff you will be able to build 3 extra marines using your leftover bits from the plague marine sprues:)

I feel that during evaluation of these "value boxes" you always have to take into account whether or not you really WANT and NEED them for your army. A discount means nothing when you spend more money for things that you eventually will realize that you don't need / don't want for your army. This is why I always take these GW boxed sets with a grain of salt - value is there only when you'll use every single model included (or take your time selling models that you don't want on ebay).

8:35 "No one ever takes the multi-melta on the helbrute' he says, as I slowly glance up at my Thousand Sons Helbrute with Multi-Melta and power scourge.

If you're trying to build a competitive list, then the discounts really only matter if the boxes contain the models you need. If you're simply playing narratively and dramatically for fun; then the discounts and model count matter far more.

[jonneff]

Taking the time to put this together for newer people coming into the hobby was legit. Nice job and also explaining some of the options with the marines.

[BlastedRodent]

Disregarding the actual contents of the video, I really liked that you flipped the standard faction order on its head and put space marines last for once.

Combat Patrol Gray Knights should get the "Custodes" treatment and simply get 5 more strike squad marines.

[jimsabo]

Here in Vietnam it’s the only way to go. The genestealer cults box is everything I could ever want for necromunda/ killteam

[brianholmes]

As a Raven Guard player, I absolutely love the space marine combat patrol. It's load of stealth type space marines are perfect for someone like me who likes to build his army to the fluff more than tabletop effectiveness and then wonder why he keeps losing. Might pick up the bood angel box too and paint em black

[Brickfrog]

Mind you the Grey Knights Combat Patrol box is now the only way to get that Librarian in Terminator armor

[McWerp]

One thing about the sisters, they are monopose, but their are quite a few unique poses in that set you cant get anywhere else. The sister superior, repentia superior, canoness, simulacrum, storm bolter, and flamer sisters are all unique sculpts that add variety into a larger sisters army.

[hansiboo]

I adore the sisters of battle.
To see such a neglected fan favorite suddenly reach a level of quality even the company favorites should be jealous of is incredible.

[benstapleton]

As a note for the GK box - you can probably get the points total closer to 800-1000 if you run the DK as a GMDK and the terminators as paladins

[adamkrajco]

In Europe you can easily find the combat patrol's under 100 euro sometimes even under 90 depending on how popular they are so seems they are a way better deal here

[sitnam]

I will say, the Tzaangor upgrade sprues are excellent for conversion bits for Tzeentch cultists

[apinakapinastorba]

The boxes are also good when you know you can sell the models you don’t like. For example, I’d like eliminstors and an impulsor. I’d sell the other models and I’d get 95€ worth of models for about 40€ after selling the excess.

I love how no BS these videos are. It’s really a “this is the price and the savings” and then a few comments. Really great content, keep it up!!

[KamenRiderGreed]

Would you consider doing a video like this for Age of Sigmar’s Vanguard Boxes???

[kthlars]

When I started my Space Marine Dark angels army, I went with a DA Combat Patrol, and a Blood Angel CP box, and then finished it off with the Deathwatch CP box to give myself a 2000 point army in addition to the Space Marines that came in the Command edition.
