Incredible Value For New Plastic Horus Heresy Starter Set

There are two big things to note first. We don’t know the prices of the individual kits 100%, so this is as close as we can get for now. Also, just to note, these are all going to be priced in plastic, with estimated pricing compared to the latest price increases.

• 40 Mark III Space Marines $220 ($55 for 10)
• 10 Cataphractii Terminators $140 ($70 for 5)
• Contemptor Dreadnought $70 (based on the Redemptor kit)
• Characters $55 (based on the Space Marine Characters pack)
• Spartan $110 (drop from resin based on the Repulsor Executioner price)
• Rulebook and other potential accessories $50

Total MSRP: $645, not counting accessories. Confirmed Box Price: <$300

Total Values versus box price: at least $345 in value

So while the initial price is a little higher than we had hoped (but expected), this has some great value, and you get more than 100% of the box price in value. Plus, you just get so many minis!

This will be a great pickup if you want to get into the game.

4 New Horus Heresy Plastic Starter Box Sets

Once again on Reddit, user u/Admiral_SKK, has more recent rumors focused around the new Horus Heresy plastic Starter Set(s.)  New rumors have been added below in red, and some grammar has been corrected.

Fundamentally the rumor states the “new” rules will still be true to 7th Edition, which we assumed from the Starter set pictures that showed a scatter die and templates still.

Age of Darkness – The Horus Heresy Launch Box:

As known, the Box will have the following content:
– 40 MkVI Marines
– 10 Cataphract Terminators
– 1 Spartan
– 1 Contemptor Dreadnought
– 1 Imperial Fist Castellan
– 1 Sons of Horus / Trainer Praetor
– “Age of Darkness” Rulebook
– “Horus Heresy” Intro Booklet
– “Battle for Heta-Gladius” Campaign Booklet
– Other Stuff for new Players

Story of the Box is about the Battle for Heta-Gladius, when the SoH
assaulted a small but important Imperial Garrison manned by Imperial Fists,
Blood Angels and the Imperial Army.

‘Heta-Gladius’ Launch Box:

• 240£
• Miniatures (as said)
• IF Castellan has two head options (with and without helmet)
• SoH Preator has three head options (with and without helmet, corrupted face)
• Campaign Booklet (as said)
• Horus Heresy Fluff Intro Booklet (as said)
• Large Softcover Rulebook
• FW Horus Heresy Catalogue
• Horus Heresy Flyer (how to expand your Horus Heresy Armies)

The new plastic Horus Heresy Starter Set Launch Box already looks to have way more in it than the previous two starters, and now may definitely end up being the Indomitus version of 30k. Especially with this latest path to market rumors.

Considering the last two boxes for Horus Heresy were only $150, though, this may just be to push the price to that $200-300 mark; however,  GW confirmed it would be less than that.

Big Intro Box:

This Launch box will be followed several months later by smaller new configuration repackaged sets like the previous Indomitus and Dominion set launches for Warhammer 40k and AoS.

• 180£
• Miniatures (as said)
• Both Characters / HQ choices are not the same identical from the Launch Box
• Dreadnought is the Mosopose from the Calth Box
• Large Softcover Rulebook
• FW Horus Heresy Catalogue
• Horus Heresy Flyer (how to expand your Horus Heresy Armies)

This was previously rumored to have the following contents:

– 30 MkVI Marines
– 10 Terminators (don’t know if Cataphracts or Tartaros)
– 1 Contemptor Dreadnought (the Monopose one)
– 2 Characters

Medium Intro Box:

• 100 £
• Miniatures (as said)
  
• Both Characters / HQ choices are not the same identical from the Launch Box
• Dreadnought is the Mosopose from the Calth Box
• Small Softcover Rulebook
• Horus Heresy Flyer (how to expand your Horus Heresy Armies)

This version was previously rumored to have the following contents:

– 20 MkVI Marines
– 5 Terminators (don’t know if Cataphracts or Tartaros)
– 1 Contemptor Dreadnought (the Monopose one)
– 2 Characters

Small Intro Box

• 40 £
• Miniatures (as said)
• Small Softcover Rulebook
• Horus Heresy Flyer (how to expand your Horus Heresy Armies)

This was said to come only with ten of the new MkVI marines.

From the looks of it, there may be a pretty aggressive four-month path to market for the new edition of Horus Heresy starting in June of 2022.

RUMORS: Horus Heresy Release Date & Lineup

According to industry insiders, the new Horus Heresy Launch box will hit store shelves on June 18th after a two-week pre-order window starting on June 4th, 2022.  Look for it to arrive with new spray and paint pots to match legion colors etc.

This box will obviously be a good value, and it is rumored Games Workshop produced at least 100,000 copies, so be sure to vote with your hobby dollars and shop local.  Regardless of GW’s normal FOMO sales tactics, it is our opinion there should be no issues obtaining this box.
