hellalugosi Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hey guys, i thought with the new announcement of the painting competition for Malign Portents, I wanted to have some fun brainstorming what you guys think would be cool start collecting boxes! I hopped onto photoshop and i think my box here is fairly in line with what kind of boxes they want to push out. Although i think every start collecting is at least 3 units? Either way post your ideas, hoping to hear creative things, and for hard mode: Only plastic kits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob P Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I can't photoshop, but how about: Seraphon - 1 x Skink Starseer - 24 x Skinks - 3 x Ripperdactyls Distinctive enough from the current set. Or (without finecast) - 1 x Skink Starpriest - 24 x Skinks - 1 x Stegadon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone2040 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I've actually put a fair amount of thought into this, here are some of the ones I like the look of: Dispossessed Warden King, 16x Warriors, 16x Thunderers, 10x Irondrakes Free Peoples Freeguild General on Foot (The guy with the Greatsword), 10x Freeguild Guard, 10x Freeguild Handgunner, 3x Demigryph Knights Free Peoples ALT Freeguild General on Griffon, 10x Freeguild Guard, 10x Freeguild Handgunner, 5x Outriders Darkling Covens Sorceress on Black Dragon, 10x Bleakswords, 10x Executioners Bonesplitterz Savage Big Boss, 20x Savage Orruks, 10x Savage Orruk Boar Boyz Deadwalker Horde Necromancer, 40x Zombies, 10x Dire Wolves, Corpse Cart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menkeroth Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Well, I'd certainly like something like that (and I can't photoshop either ): Scourge Privateers: 1 fleet master, 2x10 corsairs, 1 chariot Disciples of Tzeentch: 1x20 acolytes, 10 Tzaangors, 1 Lord of Change Spiderfang grots: 1 arachnarok, 2x10 spider riders Deathrattlers: 1 wight king, 20 skeletons, 5 black knights, 10 grave guard Wanderers: 1 nomad prince, 5 wild riders, 10 eternal guard, 10 sisters of the watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Start Collecting: Followers of the Lady. - 1 Enchantress -10 KotR - 5 GK A man can dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mincemeat Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Kharadron Overlords: Admiral 10x Arkonauts 5x Skyriggers or Thunderers (feels like there should be at least one flyer in there) I feel like KO need this quite badly since the lack of start collecting box and pricy infantry makes them quite an investment to get started with. Gutbusters Tyrant 6x ogres 3x leadbelchers Alt beastclaws Hunter 8x kitties 3x yhetees A more cunningly brutal beastclaw box would definitely be appreciated Edit: No access to photoshop atm but I'll give it a go tomorrow if I get the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailessine Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Kharadron SC has got to have a ship surely? How about: Admiral 10 arkanaughts Gunhauler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karchev23 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I can imagine the KO being Khemist Company Gunhauler ( cause they need to sell them.. like seriously that model is useless ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPT Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 11 hours ago, Menkeroth said: Disciples of Tzeentch: 1x20 acolytes, 10 Tzaangors, 1 Lord of Change Man, that'd be an incredible deal - essentially a £5 discount on Tzaangor and Acolytes with a free £70 Lord of Change bundled in. I reckon a more likely DoT box would be something like: 10 Tzaangor 3 Enlightened/Skyfire Tzaangor Shaman (That's more or less equivalent to the Bloodbound SC! box.)

I reckon a more likely DoT box would be something like: I guess so. But after the Skeleton Horde box where all the three mortarchs and they cost 65 euro alone, and so you get the skellies and knights for free, because the whole box is 65... I would not be that surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaKennyThing Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Darkling Covens one mentioned above would be really great. I think it'd be awesome if they released Start Collecting addons; like the second half of an army, a natural progression that would mean you could field 1,000pts by buying the two boxes together. GW are guaranteed £100 + paints. For example: Slaves to Darkness Addon: Chaos Lord on Manticore 10 Marauder Horsemen 18 Chaos Warriors (to add on to the 12 in the initial box) Ironjawz Addon: Megaboss on Foot 5 Brutes 15 Ardboyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlightwolf Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Definitely want to see more start collecting boxes for all factions, trying to keep my hopes as realistic as possible my guesses would be. Free Guild: Free Guild General (the 2 pack with one mounted and one on foot), 10x Freeguild handgunners/crossbowmen, 3x Demigryph knights. Bray Herds: Beastlord, 10xUngors, 10xGors, 1xTuskgor Chariot. Duardin Holds: Warden king, 16x Dispossesed warriors, 10x ironbreakers/irondrakes, 1 organ Gun/cannon.

pablolimey Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 How's about... Eldritch Council 1x Archmage/Drakeseer on Dragon 10 x Swordmasters 1 x Loremaster 1 x Balewind Vortex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbossal Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'd love to see this done up, it's only three kits and would be a great start to an army. It clocks in at 490 points, containing a battleline, behemoth, and two heroes (one of which comes in the War Altar kit already. Oh, and it's all good good plastics. 1x War Altar of Sigmar 1x Warrior Priest 1x Excelsior Warpriest & Gryph Hound 10x Flagellants. 490 Points Total. Grab 2 and you've got a 1k List. Sign me up.

Barbossal Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Okay, this is a tad fun from a product perspective, one more: Tzeentch Arcanites. There's a lack of a 'big thing' isn't there? Sort of. Mutalith Vortex Beasts have been introduced to the codex, and don't yet have any prescence in the store despite being a fantastic plastic kit. I actually suspect they will either be in the Arcanites Box OR the Thousand Sons box since they play in both. 1x Mutalith Vortex Beast 1x Magister 10xTzaangors Price in CAD: $100 (Combo from 100+18+60) Total Points - 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbossal Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Okay, I said last one, but this is my magnum opus. Skryre is expensive, difficult to create list. But no more! This box pulls in the plastics from the Spire of Dawn box. Great sculpts but no longer available. 1x Warlock Engineer 1x Warpfire Thrower Weapon Team 1x Poison Wind Mortar Weapon Team 3x Storm Fiends 530 Pts.

Thundercake Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Skyre one made me think of Swifthawk Agents: Sky Warden Chariot Chariot SpireGuard though, I dunno if that saves money really. It is 500 points though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundercake Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Another elf one, to move some old stock and cause I like the lions in the chariots Lion Rangers: Archmage or Loremaster White Lion Chariot White Lions (unit of 10) White Lions (unit of 10) Right at 520/500 points and 130-140 dollars in actual model costs.

Kirjava13 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I imagined a Skaven Skryre SC box for the Malign Portents thing. It's tough, as they have no plastic Acolytes, so I just made the best of the plastic kits available and tried to bring it to the same sort of value as the other SC boxes. - Stormfiends - Doomwheel - Clanrats I know the Clanrats aren't Skryre but there's no other plastic box that gives you a horde of rats, which frankly any good Skaven army requires. They can function as allies, or maybe the rules could be rewritten to be a sane reflection of the kits available... The whole thing comes to about... I forget, between seventy and eighty GBP, which is roughly the range of some of the existing boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
