Eonx_ Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Even tho i am very new the hobby, seeing the new start collecting boxes gets me very hyped.

Fyreslayers (hawt haw) Beastclaw (dang!!!!) or Daemons of Slaanesh (killer ladies ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohojoe Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Beastclaw raiders is tempting me. Glad to see the fyrebros get some love though. Great army I would love to see more ofSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyreslayers (hawt haw) Beastclaw (dang!!!!) or Daemons of Slaanesh (killer ladies )Well the new start collecting for Fyreslayers is cheaper than what the magmadroth used to be, so it's an awesome deal, but personally I prefer Slaanesh just because they are more my style. All three SC boxes are great deals, so I would read up on the lore for each faction and decide what ones you like the lore and models for most. All great deals, all beautiful models.

I'm Ironjawz at the moment but would love some order added to my collection without straying too far from charge and smash.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaux Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I would shoot for 2 SC boxes of Beastclaws with another Stonehorn/Thundertusk to make a cheap (it's around 110 pounds) 2000 point army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Panther Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 My problem with the Fyreslayers is that, not counting characters, they only have 10 body sculpts for the whole army (5 vulkites, 5 Hearthguard). So from a modelling perspective they get a bit boring pretty quickly. For instance, in the Vulkite box, one of the 5 is in a 'hero' pose so you can use him as your Karl but that same pose you have to repeat 4 times if you're doing a unit of 20. Swapping heads doesn't really cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all 3 are great values. Like, Fyreslayers in US was $170 for $85 now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Fyreslayer and Beastclaw are the better deals, but I can't help being drawn to Slaanesh. Everything about the aesthetic screams 'build me! paint me!'. But I have way too much to paint already, so not for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I was planning to get the exalted chariot of slaanesh anyway so.. yeah that's happening I might also get the fyreslayers one as I would to add a small battalion of fyreslayers and kahadron overlords to my dwarfs.

Davariel Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'm still stunned that GW actually made a Fyreslayers SC. It's $45 cheaper than the old price of the Magmadroth alone here in Australia! Just crazy stuff. The army went from a horrifically overpriced joke to one that's expensive, but (barely) bearable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The army went from a horrifically overpriced joke to one that's expensive, but (barely) bearable Fyreslayers still have a huge problem in that their troops are horribly overpriced. You can get 10 Tzaangors for $30AUD less than 10 Vulkite Bersekers. And then those Vulkites are going to cost 60 points for 5 (or 120 for 10), while Tzaangor are 180 points for 10. So not only are the Tzaangor cheaper to purchase, they take up a higher proportion of your army. So awesome start collecting box. But you're making the savings on the Magmadroths (Which you probably want maybe 2 of), while the core of your army is still really pricey. So makes me want to get a box, but not necessarily build an army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davariel Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 @someone2040 Absolutely! The pricing on the fyreslayer stuff is just ludicrous - more expensive than just about anything else, and all you get are dwarf sized models with limited poses who aren't worth that many points. I think they represented the point when GW prices became insane compared to other GW prices I'm glad things have gotten more reasonable since! Ah well, I'm sure the Aussie fyreslayer generals out there are happy about the new box. All three of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunkhouseBuster Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I am really tempted by that Beastclaw Start Collecting box. I missed my chance to put together my Team Fortress 2 Heavy Weapons Guy-themed Ogre Kingdoms army back in the day, and it's on my dream project list for armies to do in my lifetime, and Beastclaw Raiders fit into that dream army just fine. I wasn't a big fan of the Beastclaw Battleforce (that is actually still available on GW's website) because it came with all the resin models that I'm not interested in (not the resin part, but just not interested in the non-Ogor parts of the armies). With that new Start Collecting box, I may make that my next AoS army project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
