The new Slaves to Darkness Army Box Set is here for Age of Sigmar, but what kind of value can we expect to score with it?
We’ve seen a few of these Army Box sets now for Warhammer 40k, and a Lumineth one for Sigmar already. They generally follow the trend where they give you early access to the Codex or Battletome a month or so in advance, which gives the box some intrinsic value.
Slaves to Darkness Army Box Set: What’s the Value?
The Slaves to Darkness rise again, ready to stain the Mortal Realms red with the blood of any who would oppose them. Their army set includes 14 new miniatures – a Daemon Prince, 10 Chaos Chosen, and three Ogroid Theridons.
This boxed set also includes a special launch edition version of the new Slaves to Darkness battletome. There are also Warscroll Cards, which will only be available in this set for the foreseeable future, plus 28 Enhancement Cards, and 34 tokens to keep track of rules and special abilities.
Obviously, we don’t know the actual pricing of the individual units quite yet, but we have plenty of evidence to go off. Either way, the estimated value here should give you a great idea of what to expect.
- Daemon Prince $80
- 10 Chaos Chosen $120 (5 for $60)
- Ogroid Theridons $65
- Warscroll Cards $33.50
- Battletome $55
Army Box Retail Price: $200 Total MSRP: $353.50
Savings Versus Box Price: $153.50
Is it Worth it?
Just like the Army Boxes in the past, you’ll basically get the codex and cards for free-ish, which along with the savings, is a huge value for players looking to start the army! For this box, a large part of the value really comes down to the Chaos Chosen. If they are much more expensive than we want them to be, this box gets even better.
Just one thing to note as well, this is not the limited edition battletome that sells for more, just a different early access cover art.
If you want to play the army, getting this box will for sure save you some cash. Plus, you’ll get some of the minis and the battletome before the general release, making it a decent pickup.
With so many leaks and confirmed minis by Games Workshop, we hope the full Slaves to Darkness range stays on track for a December/Winter release!
