Way back last fall we ran a story about what was the best deal ever from Games Workshop. Little did we know how true that was until this week. Come see!
Okay one caveat, perhaps the truly best deal of all time from GW was the old Space Marine Battle Company from the Apocalypse era.
At $500 for nearly $1000 retail value total at that time, this box set’s girth was mighty indeed!
But fast forward to today…
Age of Darkness is back in full plastic Horus Heresy glory! But what’s so good about the Horus Heresy you ask? Well checkout these numbers on the new individual retail boxes that are coming your way next week:
- Mark IV Space Marines £ 30.00 / € 39.00 / $50
- Cataphractii Terminators £ 40.00 / € 52.00 / $65
- Contemptor Dreadnought 35.00 / € 46.00 / $60
- Space Marines Heroes £ 30.00 / € 39.00 / $50
New Betrayal at Calth Box Set Roundup
Now if you add that up to the exact configuration that come in the Betrayal at Calth box set, you get a total retail price of $325!!!
All for the MSRP of $150! That’s like 50% off folks!
Plus multiple Industry Insiders have told Spikey Bits that GW has no plans to discontinue the venerable box set either. So look for continued good deals for at least the foreseeable future on the Horus Heresy!
The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth $150
Inside the box, you’ll find:
– A Captain in Terminator Armour and a Dark Apostle
– A Contemptor Dreadnought, armed with a choice of multi-melta or twin assault cannon
– Five Cataphractii Terminators, with weapon options including combi bolters, power fists, lightning claws, chain fists, power swords, heavy flamers and grenade harnesses
– Thirty Legion Tactical Space Marines in MK4 armour, with a huge selection of weapons and custom features, including bolters, missile launchers, heavy bolters, chainswords, power swords, power fists, plasma pistols, lightning claw blades, combi flamer, melta and plasma guns, a melta bomb and a set of combat blades! These miniatures also include ammo packs, holstered bolt pistols and a selection of frag and krak grenades.
– Four double-sided boards, beautifully printed on thick card stock, representing the caverns under Calth where the desperate struggle between the Ultramarines and Word Bearers took place
– A forty-eight page book, featuring an introduction to the battle on Calth, comprehensive rules and scenarios for playing the game, an overview of the Word Bearers and Ultramarines legions and a showcase of the included miniatures
– Forty-two command and reference cards, used to introduce effects and events into the game
– Twelve dice and an array of markers used in-game
From the look of that, the remaining Betrayal at Cath box sets are going to fly off shelves this summer!
