Death Masque

What does Veeky Forums think of the new 40k starter set?

That kit seems to be blatantly favoring the marines in terms of power.

They always do. Little Timmy likes Marines. Little Timmy likes to win. GW want to train Little Timmy to think in terms of winning by having a better army than the other player. That will make Little Timmy want to buy more models.

Most tempting starter set I've ever seen, if only for the fact that it has spess elves in it. I would have preferred vanilla spess elves, though.

For whats meant to be a starter set those models seem a whole lot more difficult to paint than the Black reach ones.

Little Timmy isn't expected to paint all those models. Just buy more expensive models until Timmy gets bored and moves on to vidya games or some other hobby.

I'm tempted to get it just for the new Eldrad model.
Brings me hope that GW will upgrade other old as fuck Eldar models. Shit like aspect warriors, and especially phoenix lords, desperately need new sprues.

Not a starter set, but it still looks pretty great - it's a B@C style box-with-a-"game" that's really just a bundle, rather than an actual starter, Dark Vengence still has its own section.

Shame on you for trying to pretend otherwise

Primer + three colours is all that GW ask.

Holy fuck you need to get a grip
