Reply To: Kill Team – price leak?

As someone thats looking at this as a way back into the 40k universe, i see this as an ideal gateway. As some have stated, the models in the box are of one troop type only but that also means they can be used later on as a small unit if you want to play 40k itself, they give you a simple team to get used to the rules as you won’t have to learn/remember the stats for multiple unit types(these can be learnt as you add on other troop types). Having to buy an entire box of another unit type is annoying if you only want one for some, but that again means you have the models to use later in 40k or if you wanted to try a team of just that unit type. Looking at the mechanicus list for example, i would start with 5 rangers and or vanguard and to get 5 of each other unit type i would need to buy one more box of vanguard/rangers and two boxes of rustalkers/infiltrators. At that point i have the start of an army minus an hq choice for 40k. If it was 40k only you wouldn’t really be able to play with that until you have bought all of them, with this game you will have been playing with them for months while you slowly buy the extra boxes while also keeping the game fresh by adding in different unit types to the game. I feel this game is one of the best ways of getting into the hobby relatively cheaply(as cheap as wargaming is) and means further down the line there’s an alternative use for the miniatures once you have accrued more than you would use in the game at any one time.

Also as you but the teams you’ll also be gathering scenery so you can have at least a good start to a 40k tables worth of scenery if you want to go on to that game, which is the point of a gateway game for a company i feel.

Sorry if it’s a bit long.
