Is the new 2019 Warhammer 40k Kill Team set worth it? Check out our break down to see the savings on what’s inside!
Warhammer Community announced a new Kill Team starter box just a little while ago. However, it looks like nothing in the set is actually new. It’s more like a Frankenstein set with different kits mixed into one. Not super unheard of from GW, but let’s check out the value of what’s inside.
Space Wolves Vs. Tau Kill Team Starter Set Value
Like we’ve said before, this starter set is featuring kits that we’ve seen before. Fangs of Ulfrich and Advance Team Starpulse are kits that you can buy individually right now on shelves (they are sold on GW’s site though). However, as this box is a starter, it also comes with a play board and terrain.
While the price hasn’t been confirmed, we’re going to say that this starter will be the same as the 2018 one: $130. Now let’s go into the price of everything if you were to buy it all separately.
- Fangs of Ulfrich $60
- Advance Team Starpulse (Tau Fire Warriors Kit) $50
- Kill Team Core Manual $40
- Sector Mechanicus Alchomite Stack (comes in Fangs of Ulfrich Box) $50
- Ferratonic Incinerator (It’s not exact as there is may be some bonus scaffolding. But it’s the closest configuration we’ve seen) $75
- Third Mechanicus Terrain stack (spotted in the back of the set picture, doesn’t come with any other GW terrain kit) $25?
Total MSRP: $275
Total Savings: $145
Note: If you don’t count the terrain from the Fangs of Ulfrich box (because it comes with it as a bundle), here is the total cost and value:
Total MSRP: $300
Total Savings: $170
Overall, it’s a good deal. Plus, there is a good chance that this isn’t something that you would buy on your own. You can always split this with a friend so that you can both get started on your own Kill Teams while saving some money.
With that said, what do you think about the contents inside of the new Starter? Would you rather buy your own Kill Team kits and terrain? Do you think the terrain in the starter is worth it?
