Which faction are you going for? Don’t miss this hobby dollar breakdown for the potential value of everything that comes inside the Looncurse Starter box set.
The Looncurse Box Set is locked in to cost about $160. With that said, it’s pitting Gloomspite Gitz up against Sylvaneth and each faction is getting a new model. The Loonboss on a Cave Squig for the Gitz and an Arch Revenant for the Sylvaneth. So just how much value are you getting out of this box?
Don’t forget now we know there is an impending full Sylvaneth release as well soon!
Looncurse Box Set Contents
Gloomspite Gitz:
- 1x Squig Herders $45
- 1x 5-man Squig Hoppers $50 (Comes in a box of ten normally. Can be made into Hoppers or Bounders).
- 1x Loonboss on Cave Squig $35 (The old model is $22.25 right now but we think the update will drive the cost up more).
Total Cost: $130
Total points: 440
Sylvaneth:
- 1x Kurnoth Hunters $58
- 1x 10 Tree Revenants $74 (Comes in kits of 5 for $37 normally).
- 1x Arch Revenant $35 (This is a new model but we’re guessing he’s a bit bigger than the smaller Sylvaneth characters making him cost a bit more).
Total Cost: $167
Total Points: 360 for the stuff that exists. We’ll throw another 100 for the new Arch Revenant model totaling 460.
Total Estimated Box Set Value (Giz & Sylvaneth): $297
All in all, it looks like the Sylvaneth are making it out the best with the Box Set. By dropping the $160 on the box, they’re making their money back on Sylvaneth alone. The Gloomspite Gitz may be lacking in the value department, but the points are fairly close together. Either way, the Looncurse box is definitely a solid start to both armies, and if you buy two, well you have a solid foundation for both armies!
Will you be splitting the box with a friend or keeping it all to yourself? Which faction are you wanting to grab? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
