Greetings one and all,
Well seems Gamesworkshop dropped a rather big surprise on us, four more Space marine battle force boxsets. As you might recall Gamesworkshop released a Raven Guard and Imperial Fists battle forces just before Christmas and now they’ve done the same for the Iron Hands, Salamanders, White Scars and Ultramarines. So let me do what I do best, break down the prices and review the contents of the boxes.
A few caveats to this review, I am going to use the Imperial Fists – Bastion Strike Force and Raven Guard – Ravenstrike Battle Force as an indicator as to the price £130 and that each boxset will contain 2 chapter upgrade sprues.
Iron Hands: March of Iron Strike Force
Iron Father Feirros = £26
Primaris Techmarine = £24
2 Redemptor Dreadnoughts = £85
10 Intercessors = £36
2 Iron Hands Primaris Upgrades and Transfers = £32
Total = £203
Saving = £73
Salamanders: Warforged Strike Force
Adrax Agatone = £26
20 Intercessors = £72
3 Eradicators = £32.50
3 Aggressors = £32.50
2 Salamanders Primaris Upgrades and Transfers = £32
Total = £195
Saving = £65
White Scars: Storm of Chogoris
Kor’sarro Khan = £26
Primaris Chaplain on Bike = £30
6 Primaris Outriders = £75
2 Invader ATVs = £55
2 White Scars Primaris Upgrades & Transfers = £32
Total = £218
Saving = £88
Space Marines: Scions of Macragge
Marneus Calgar + 2 Victrix Guard = £35
Chief Librarian Tigurius = £26
3 Bladeguard Veterans = £32.50
10 Intercessors = £36
10 Hellblasters = £36
2 Ultramarines Primaris Upgrades = £22
Total = £187.50
Saving = £57.50
Overall these boxsets are a real saving if you want the units in them. I do have an issue with putting named characters in these boxsets as I feel it does limit the number of time you can buy them. But hey a combination of any two of these and you have a really good and flexible army.
