Here are the savings and value for the Cities of Sigmar army box set for AoS in our pricing breakdown- check it out!
The new Cities of Sigmar Army Box Set is here for Age of Sigmar, but what kind of value can we expect to score with it?
The box itself is comprised of 52 new minis and is just the starting point for new models! However, the real question is, what kind of value will you save with this box?
If you want early access to the battletome and the new minis, this is really the only way to do it. However, they usually come out a couple of weeks later. So if you can’t get your hands on a box, maybe don’t go too crazy paying higher prices on the secondary market as the battletome and models should be released separately soon as well.
Before we check out the value, here are all the previews for the new Cities of Sigmar range:

Your first chance to get your hands on the brand new Cities of Sigmar miniatures and battletome is nearly here, with a jam-packed Army Set coming to pre-order on Saturday. Two units of 10 Steelhelms and five Cavaliers muster around a Freeguild Marshal and his attendant Alchemite Warforger.
In addition to the miniatures, this set contains a special edition of the new battletome with an exclusive cover, a deck of warscroll cards for all 52 Cities of Sigmar units, and four transfer sheets covered in iconography for your city of choice.
Currently, we don’t know the actual pricing of the individual units quite yet, but we have plenty of evidence to go off. Either way, the estimated value here should give you a great idea of what to expect.
- 20 Steelhelms $110 ($55 for 10)
- 5 Cavaliers Muster $65 (based on new Choas Knights and Raptadon, both are $65 for 5)
- Freeguild Marshal & Envoy $45 (based on recent character releases)
- Alchemite Warforger $35 (Based on Skink Starseer)
- Book & Cards $55 (current battletome pricing, cards should be added value)
Total MSRP: $310
Total savings versus the estimated $200 box price: $110
Is the Cities of Sigmar Army Box Worth It?
It has decent value inside, but you do have to remember a lot of the value comes from the battletome; however, you were probably going to buy one anyway for the army. Everything inside is also brand new, so most people who play the army, or want to play the army will most likely want to get all the units included, So there are no wasted minis here in terms of value.
While $110 isn’t the best value we’ve ever seen for an army box, it’s a good value overall, and if you want the new minis and battletome, this is worth a pickup! This is mainly because it has a good range of miniatures inside, and you get early access to them, as who knows how long until GW releases them individually.
What to Buy Next?
The Pontifex looks pretty crazy, and we assume almost every army will include one for free Mortal Wounds. Then, there will be a ton of new minis, so we recommend just buying the minis you like for now, and then when you get the book, build around your favorite minis to hobby on.
Lastly, there will (most likely) be a Vanguard Box, and when you combine an army box and a Vanguard box, they generally give you a solid starting force to build around.
We’ve seen a few of these Army Box sets now for Warhammer 40k and a few for AoS already. They generally follow the trend of giving you early access to the Codex or Battletome a month or so in advance, providing the box with some intrinsic value.
Like with all the previous boxes, we expect this to go quickly, so if you want it, try to get it early.
