Stormcast Eternals and Nighthaunt have two separate boxes that are a match made in the Azyr. Check out the contents and savings from each one combined.
At the start of AoS 2.0, we saw the Stormcast Eternals and Nighthaunt get pitted against one another in a Soul Wars Box Set. Looking ahead to the 2019 Battleforces, these bundles are the perfect pair to what came inside the Soul Wars Box.
Using a previous Trav’s Hot Takes article we’ll be looking at the value of the Stormcast side of Soul Wars combined with their 2019 Battleforce., and vice versa for the Nighthaunt.
Soul Wars Box Set & 2019 Battleforces
Take a closer look at the points, value, and battlefield roles you’ll be mashing together if you got one of each.
The Soul Wars Box Set was first released at the start of AoS 2.0 and can still be purchased on GW’s webstore.
As for the Battleforces coming to AoS this holiday season, you’ll be able to grab a box for the Stormcast and Nighthaunt. A great building block if you wanted to expand from your Soul Wars selection that you split with a friend.
Important Note: some of the box contents give you a few more models than what individual kits offer. We’ll be calculating in the minimum number of individual kits it takes to get as close to what is offered in the bundles. (for example, if a box gives you 8 models but they are sold online in boxes of 5, we’ll be calculating the cost of two boxes).
Stormcast Eternals Combined Value
If you took the Stormcast half of Soul Wars and added it to the Stormcast Eternals Exorcism Soulstrike 2019 Battleforce, this is what you’d have altogether. Looking at the contents under the lense of a 2,000+ point roster:
- Lord Exorcist: 120 Points, Leader 1 of 6 $35
