Forget an armored truck, this Warhammer Semi was spotted in the wilds, and the question is, how much could it be worth?
GW is ramping up their manufacturing with this giant new truck, and chances are they were shipping tons of products back and forth from their distribution hub off the M1 and Nottingham. The timing of this tractor-trailer also coincides quite well with the new Horus Heresy launch, and the rumors of how many boxes might be released are just insane (at least 100,000).
So, how much cargo does a semi-truck carry? How many boxes would be lost off the truck if it flips over in front of you? All good questions.
The Warhammer Semi-Truck Spotted in the Wild

Mordian Glory spotted the truck, and if we’re being honest, with how big this is, the amount of plastic money inside that truck is just insane! So, how much is actually inside? If they double stack the pallets, you can generally fit 52 in a single truck (if they double stack it, 26 if not).
In theory, that means this single truck is carrying more minis than most of us could even fathom having! But how many boxes are on a single pallet?
This is a poorly stacked pallet from AdeptiCon, and it is a ton of boxes! It looks to be about 225 boxes, which means you multiply that by at least 26, giving you about 5,850 boxes. That many boxes would be worth a cool $1.75 Million dollars if they are all $299 Horus Heresy Starter Sets!
Keep in mind that’s just if the pallets are single stacked.

If you hear about a Warhammer semi-truck hijacking soon in England, there’s a chance it might be for that sweet plastic-crack, and we would start looking on Instagram for clues to whodunit!
Not that we condone the actions above, but as we said, if you hear about a daring high-speed truck robbery, it might just be for some new Warhammer miniatures.
Have you spotted a Warhammer truck in the wild, was their automated servitor guards with it?
