If the new Plastic Horus Heresy Starter Set is what we think it will be, there could be some incredible value inside- here’s what it may be worth.
The set has apparently way more in it than the previous two starters and it appears there are a ton of minis in it. Could it be the Indomitus of 30k? We’ll have to wait a little longer on the price to decide that, but there are some rumors this could be GW trying to up the price to $300 for a starter set.
Considering the last two boxes for Horus Heresy were only $150 though, this may just be to push the price to that $200 mark.
With how much is inside of this, we don’t see GW just pricing it at $200, but if they somehow do, everyone should jump on it! If you want to see more of why we think this is plastic, check all those rumors here. Let’s get into the value!
RUMORS: Incredible Value For New Plastic Horus Heresy Starter Set
Thanks to the following exclusive image submitted by a Spikey Bits reader, 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, it could really bring new players into the game, especially if the rules are coming updated along with it.
Let’s hope they go with the lower price and really give the Horus Heresy game a giant boost!
