The AoS Arcane Cataclysm Box has new Lumineth Realm-lords Scinari Enlightener and Tzeentch Changling inside, here is the value breakdown of the contents!
These battle boxes or Starter sets can be a good way for you to get into a new faction, especially if you split the box with someone. Plus, the Age of Sigmar ones usually have more value than the 40k ones, which is a plus for AoS players!
It feels like this is the new way to go for GW; with at least both the factions grabbing one new mini. Still, it’s better than nothing, and they actually already put the points for the new Scinari Enlightener in the points update.
Let’s jump into the value!
AoS Arcane Cataclysm Box: $220 Retail
Inside the box, you’ll find 55 finely detailed Citadel miniatures – perfect for starting new armies or adding to existing ones. There are also new battleplans and rules to play out the epic confrontation between these two ancient enemies.
Originally we based this value Arcane Cataclysm Box breakdown on the price of the Echoes of Doom box, which sold for $195. However, unfortunately, this box was revealed to have a retail price of $220, 25 more than EoD.
Lumineth Value:
- Scinari Enlightener $35 (based on recent characters)
- Vanari Dawnriders $65
- Vanari Bladelords $60
- Vanari Auralan Sentinels $60
Total MSRP: $220
Total value versus half the $195 box price for Lumineth: $110
Disciples of Tzeentch Value:
- Curseling $35 (based on most recent characters?)
- Tzaangor Enlightened $55
- Kairic Acolytes $55
- Tzaangors $50
Total MSRP: $195
Value versus half the $195 box price for Tzeentch: $85
The overall value breakdown of the Arcane Cataclysm Box versus the confirmed retail price of $220 is $415. So if you buy the box at the retail price, you could profit well over $200 in value “in Games Workshop money.”
That is not counting the small AoS core rulebook that we assume will also come in this box and add some value.
Is the Arcane Cataclysm Box Set Worth it?
Yes, it seems this is actually a very good value for both armies inside but obviously a bit better for Lumineth.
You get a similar number of minis for both sides, but with higher prices for the Lumineth, they get more value. Plus, if you split it, both people will be paying $110 and getting right around $200 worth of value, so honestly, this is a pretty good box overall!
The only real downside to the box is that it’s basically repackaged releases from the previous bundle boxes for both armies with only one new model inside for both.
However, value-wise it makes the Warhammer 40k boxes look weak in comparison once again.
