Join us as we unbox all 12 of the new Games Workshop Armoured Assault boxes from games workshop! Are they worth the investment?

First off these look to be a great small investment to get up and going in a new army, OR to augment an existing one with another fast moving infantry selection. On the Imperium side the boxes are all $55 retail, and on average are around 20% off retail price.

This time around Games Workshop did not put new formations in these bundles, which may be an indicator that a new edition is truly on the way soon for Warhammer 40k. It is unclear at this time if we will see new rules outside of supplement books in the near future.
