Incredible Value For New Plastic Horus Heresy Starter Set

Thanks to the following exclusive image submitted by a Spikey Bits reader from this summer, we now have more to go off and a better idea of everything in the set. If these are right, this could be a gigantic starter.

Also just to note, these are all going to be priced in plastic.

• 40 Mark III Space Marines $200 ($50 for 10)
• 10 Cataphractii Terminators $130 ($65 for 5)
• Contemptor Dreadnought $60 (based on the existing kit)
• Characters $50 (based on the Space Marine Characters pack)
• Spartan $100 (drop from resin based on the Repulsor Executioner price)
• Rulebook and other potential accessories (note the absence of any templates…)

Total MSRP: $540

Total Values: if it’s priced in box at $200: $340 / at $300: $240

Whatever the price comes out to be, even at $300 this could really have the value-packed in there. Especially if the price of the Spartan doesn’t drop as we would expect.

If they do price this at the $200 mark (doesn’t look like it), it could really bring new players into the game, especially if the rules are coming updated along with it.

4 New Horus Heresy Plastic Starter Box Sets

Once again on Reddit, user u/Admiral_SKK, has more recent rumors focused around the new Horus Heresy plastic Starter Set(s.)  New rumors have been added below in red and some grammar has been corrected.

Fundamentally the rumor states the “new” rules will still be true to 7th Edition, which we assumed from the Starter set pictures that showed a scatter die and templates still.

Age of Darkness – The Horus Heresy Launch Box:

As known, the Box will have the following content:
– 40 MkVI Marines
– 10 Cataphract Terminators
– 1 Spartan
– 1 Contemptor Dreadnought
– 1 Imperial Fist Castellan
– 1 Sons of Horus / Trainer Praetor
– “Age of Darkness” Rulebook
– “Horus Heresy” Intro Booklet
– “Battle for Heta-Gladius” Campaign Booklet
– Other Stuff for new Players

Story of the Box is about the Battle for Heta-Gladius, when the SoH
assaulted a small but important Imperial Garrison manned by Imperial Fists,
Blood Angels and the Imperial Army.

‘Heta-Gladius’ Launch Box:

• 240£
• Miniatures (as said)
• IF Castellan has two head options (with and without helmet)
• SoH Preator has three head options (with and without helmet, corrupted face)
• Campaign Booklet (as said)
• Horus Heresy Fluff Intro Booklet (as said)
• Large Softcover Rulebook
• FW Horus Heresy Catalogue
• Horus Heresy Flyer (how to expand your Horus Heresy Armies)

Already the new plastic Horus Heresy Starter Set Launch Box looks to have way more in it than the previous two starters, and now may definitely end up being the Indomitus version of 30k. Especially with this latest path to market rumors.

Considering the last two boxes for Horus Heresy were only $150 though, this may just be to push the price to that $200-300 mark. So we’ll see what happens with that.

We’ll have to wait a little longer on the confirmed price to decide that, but there are also some rumors this could be GW trying to up the price to $300 for a starter set.

Big Intro Box:

Supposedly this Launch box will be followed several months later by smaller new configuration repackaged sets just like the previous Indomitus, and Dominion set launches for Warhammer 40k and AoS.

• 180£
• Miniatures (as said)
• Both Characters / HQ choices are not the same identical from the Launch Box
• Dreadnought is the Mosopose from the Calth Box
• Large Softcover Rulebook
• FW Horus Heresy Catalogue
• Horus Heresy Flyer (how to expand your Horus Heresy Armies)

This was previously rumored to have the following contents:

– 30 MkVI Marines
– 10 Terminators (don’t know if Cataphracts or Tartaros)
– 1 Contemptor Dreadnought (the Monopose one)
– 2 Characters

Medium Intro Box:

• 100 £
• Miniatures (as said)
  
• Both Characters / HQ choices are not the same identical from the Launch Box
• Dreadnought is the Mosopose from the Calth Box
• Small Softcover Rulebook
• Horus Heresy Flyer (how to expand your Horus Heresy Armies)

This version was previously rumored to have the following contents:

– 20 MkVI Marines
– 5 Terminators (don’t know if Cataphracts or Tartaros)
– 1 Contemptor Dreadnought (the Monopose one)
– 2 Characters

Small Intro Box

• 40 £
• Miniatures (as said)
• Small Softcover Rulebook
• Horus Heresy Flyer (how to expand your Horus Heresy Armies)

This was said to come only with ten of the new MkVI marines.
