The new 40k Orks Beast Snagga Box has arrived at the studio, check out Rob’s latest unboxing and build of the newest Orks!
We’re back unboxing the newest addition to 40k! Rob sees what it takes to get it ready for the tabletop, shows the size of the models compared to other minis, and tells you the GOTCHAS to be aware of when building it.
We are going to show you everything including the bits, size comparisons, and everything included. That way you can decide if this is worth your hard-earned hobby dollars. Let’s go!
New 40k Orks Beast Snagga Box: Unboxing & Build
Get Yours From Amazon or Dicehead Games! (Unfortunately, they are quite expensive right now)
Well, unfortunately, these were insanely allocated, and even online it was near impossible to grab one when they were first released. But there’s an odd chance your LGS still has one. The main reason is new minis, plus early access to the codes which really bumped the value.
If you want to see the value of the box, you can check that out here. Or, Rob also breaks that down in the video for us as well. Basically, though, you get around $100-$125 in value.
The Box, Codex & Cards
The layout of this box is one of the better Rob’s seen so far. The artwork in here also might point to new DKoK Death Riders, so be sure to check a deeper dive into that, in this article here.
The new codex is really nice and is 135 pages (over half rules) with a nice homage to the 4th edition codex at the end.
The cards are a nice addition, but everything is the same on the back until you get to the psychic cards.
Instructions & Sprues
There’s a bunch of different sizes of bases, so be sure to check the reference in the front before building anything. These aren’t ETB, but they are Easier to Build with nubs and such.
The Beast Snagga Boyz don’t have a ton of variety but they look easy to build. It’s just two sets of the same sprues with one option for their main weapons.
The Warboss has a decent amount of variation, with a couple of different poses and some extra bits.
The sprues look very dynamic, but there will be some flash and trim removal. Zodgrod takes up a whole sprue and has a lot going on.
The Squighog Boyz are set up very similar to the Outriders, but they are not ETB. You get three squad size sprues for just these alone. Rob recommends dry-fitting all of these because there are a lot of bits.
The Boyz get 5 models per sprue because there’s not really much variation and only one option for the main weapons. They are super detailed though.
Built Minis
Zodgrod is pretty chonky on a 50mm base! Overall the detail is super crisp and he strikes quite the pose on the tabletop.
He stands about as tall as a Primaris but much wider. Compared to a Guardsman, he just towers over the poor shovel lover.
The Boyz went together without much issue, they are very well detailed and the seams are pretty hidden. Just remember, there isn’t much variation and that is the main knock on them.
The scaling seems really good when compared to the Primaris.
The Squighog Boyz look great, but they are a decent amount smaller than Rob expected. Rob also recommends building these with Blue-Tac so you can paint them separately.
They aren’t that much taller than a Primaris, but the Nob is much bigger and is actually on a bigger size base, so pay attention to that and don’t mess that up.
Final Thoughts
These will all come out separately at some point, so if you weren’t able to secure one, don’t go too crazy. If you really want it though, you can on a lot of the secondary markets.
