Here’s the confirmed pricing and value and pricing for the Warhammer 40k Grey Knights and Thousand Sons Hexfire Battlebox!
The new box set will feature the Thousand Sons versus the Grey Knights and if you want to see the initial release, you can check it out here. Whether you’re looking to start either of these armies or just expand your existing collection, these are usually good value for the money.
The price tag ended up being the same as the recent Sisters Piety and Pain box set which isn’t too bad considering the value. It will be allocated however as it looks like stores will only be able to get up to five of these in addition to other release items.
Anyways… back to the value. Let’s check it out!
Hexfire Battlebox Warhammer 40k $170
The box contains a total of 29 minis with 2 new characters for each faction. Let’s start with the Grey Knights value then go to the Thousand Sons.
- 1x Strike Squad $65
- Nemesis Dreadknight $65
- Castellan Crowe $45 (Based on recent characters)
Grey Knights MSRP: $175
- 5x Scarab Occult Terminators $60
- Infernal Master $38
- Tzangor Shaman $35
- 10 Tzangors $50
Thousand Sons MSRP: $183
Overall MSRP: $358
Total Value: $188
So, if you break it down with a friend, you’ll be paying right around $85 a person and getting about $80 in value for each person. So, honestly, there is some value inside (about $10 more value than Piety & Pain) and the units included are pretty decent.
While the Thousand Sons side gets a little bit more value, both factions grab a new mini and some useful units.
Will you be picking this up? Do you like the units included in the box?
