The problem with the guard box is the “value” is in the free guardsmen, but I don’t know any guard player that needs more guardsmen. We all have tons already and tons unpainted because we get them in every box we buy. For a starting player I think they’re great (except you’ll quickly have too many command squads).
@LollipopKnight2
@LollipopKnight2 10 месяцев назад
As a starting Guard player, that's pretty much my opinion. I do have too many Command Squads, using this and a couple of the Combat Patrols (and I arguably have too many Dorns, since I picked one up before the Christmas boxes got revealed), but at least they add meaningful durability to a squad through their medic's Feel No Pain, and help get Orders all over the board, even after casualties. But I am expecting to enjoy not having more Guardsmen to paint, and doing it purely for art reasons. Still, I plan to pick up another couple of Shock Troops boxes, to kitbash some Catachan-equivalent squads together. My first planned list is going to have 80 dudes, and some Scions.

@DragonuFear
@DragonuFear 10 месяцев назад
The problem is infantry squads are silly expensive, and value boxes are often aimed towards players starting armies over veterans. Without the old 15 dollar box of 5 cadians you really need infantry in the value boxes to cut the cost of a guard army down.

I am way late here but I am only now catching up with the podcast at the moment. One thing you missed when talking about the Imperial Fists and Raven Guard boxes is that they also included the upgrade sprues specific to those factions. They have limited value to players that aren't specificially in those factions, but they are still part of the monetary value. I would actually say that those Battle Force boxes for specific marine chapters are actually a good concept, as they give a bit more direction and allow for better deals for specific play styles, but I would say they could have used a bit more variety in them. As someone who started a Slamanders army this past year I was very happy with picking up their box, even though I still have 10 Intercessors on sprues that I will probably sell instead of build. Then again, they probably had the best box among them, and I got a discount at my LGS.

The rest sold out also quite quickly but to me it so fucking hilarious that their "poster children" are so unwanted😆 considering the value of the box it's no surprise but still im smiling thinking about it

Then I'm going to use the loyalty points the store offer for another Hekaton in the future. More roundabout way than getting two of the Christmas box but pretty good way of getting that sweet double up of the expensive/hard-to-find vehicles.

I think it shold be pointed out that the Cadian Defense Force is a better value than the old Bastion Platoon. Back in the day, those cadian guard were only 35$ (maybe 45$ with the cadian upgrade sprue? but im pretty sure that sprue dropped in late 2021) And the old Sentinel was *dirt* cheap. While the comparison to now $$ might be good, I don't think its a true comparison to prices back then vs now, as the *new* cadian guard

In regards to the Krieg issue, I feel like the reason they don't do it is because there is only 1 plastic Krieg kit. As much as I want a full plastic refresh of Krieg, they aren't going to add them to combo boxes because they don't match the aesthetics of virtually every other Guard kit (FOB, Scout Sentinel, Rogal Dorn, Command Squad, etc). Ideally, I would like an upgrade sprue so I can convert at least my tank commanders and stuff without buying from forgeworld.

Before the pricing came out, i was considering the Marine box. Next force is planned to be Raven Guard, so all those Jumpers would have made a good core. Unfortunately, the box is £140, and the contents excluding the Outriders and Invader come to significantly less than that when bought from a 3rd party store. So, nope. No interest in any other force in the boxes. Potentially might have been for a T'au one, but no such luck. Not that anyone had any stock 15 minutes after pre-order started anyway!

@Admiralkirk95 9 месяцев назад
I'll be entirely honest I just wanted spearhead force for the jump pack units. But as a new player I had no idea the outriders were that bad of a model that they don't go together right. And the ATV is usable but it requires outriders for it's passive to work. Still, 15 jump intercessors and a jump captain. I needed that causemy army is a bit light on melee right now. Secondly, considering combat patrols. The space marines have effectively like five or six of them. Every box no matter the subfaction is using basic units that not sub faction exclusive. Not a single one has jet pack intercessors. I get the idea of giving a box that gives a bunch and a captain for that very reason. The outriders and atv feel like a sort 'just throw it in, we need to expand the box a bit to make it look comparable. I think it's a decent box for newbies if you're looking for some melee. But it's clearly the worst of the boxes, and is thankfully the cheapest. And thast's totally fine since Space mariens gets like 50% of the support and shelf space compared to other factions. FInally You were saying Spearhead is like 320 american. I got it for 250 Canadian. So I'll consider it a steal.
@kostakatsoulis2922
@kostakatsoulis2922 10 месяцев назад
As a guard player, I feel like I have to say I fundamentally disagree with the "too many troops" complaint for our boxes. This the Imperial Guard; we can out-horde the Tyranids on the table-top, and considering infantry guard is pretty good right now, you can NEVER have too many guardsmen. I do agree that double-Dorns in a box may be a bit much, I would like to see other vehicles make an appearance, and also the re-vamped Heavy Weapons Teams. Like come on, where the hell are they? Also as far as the being Cadian goes, the thing about Guard is that they are practically meant to be the customizable faction; Cadian equipment is just kinda seen as the universal standard for the Astra Militarum, so with minimal effort you can proxy Cadian troops as practically any force in the galaxy. That's always been a major hobby advantage for us.

What you said about the Guard boxes, them being only interesting for complete beginners, can also be said about the Tyranids boxes. As someone who plays Tyranids since 4th edition I don't need any more Hormagaunts, Genestealers or Hive Tyrants. I don't understand why people are so hyped for the Tyranids box. You get a Hive Tyrant and "bigger Hive Tyrant"-looking model as well as small, fast melee guys and the other small, fast melee guys. Should've thrown out the Hive Tyrant and the Genestealers for something like a Carnifex and one of the new Bio/Pyrovores. Would make for a more interesting and balanced mix in my opinion.

I am just starting out in the hobby. Have not even bought anything yet but i've been humming and hawing About starting the hobby and purchasing one of these Christmas boxes. And I think part of the reason why most people say it sucks so much is because compared to last year. These boxes are a little rough. Like obviously, custodies was insane, but the death guard box was interesting and fun. The 1000 sun's box was interesting and fun. The sisters of battle was a solid box. Even the mechanicus Box was cool cause it had Cawl And that is 5 of the 8 boxes right there. The 2 space marine boxes were solid if you were into that. Chapter and the last box that i'm not mentioning is the nightbox which people freaked out over how much they liked because it was a mass of the amount of points and a punch of really cool units all in one box. I don't think it's necessarily that people are down on this because they remember The best of the previous years. I think a lot of people are just looking to last year and noticing how insane last year was meaning that this year is a complete disappointment. Like the only box that looks really interesting from a new player's perspective for a bunch of points is world leaders and maybe votann But if you're not into world eaters then there's not a lot and the Votann Box is solid value and if has planned on getting into the army. Don't get me wrong. I would probably pick it up, but it's not an exciting pick up.

Oh, the lovely sound of people in their thirties thinking they're old. You two are adorable. :D I'm hearing a lot of "well, this is good if you're just getting into the army" and I really think that's the *point* of this box. Painting Phase did an interview at some point with a former GW manager, and that fellow (I've forgotten the name, alas) pointed out that the majority of retail sales isn't people with established armies. It's parents buying starter kits for their teens. I'm sure that skews even harder at Christmas, so it makes a lot of sense that these boxes are focused on getting started with a faction. Though I do agree that the Marines boxes, especially, seem to suffer from a mix of "here's the newest kit in a discount box!" and "We're still paying for this mold, so here's the same thing all over again!" But both of those factors are also less problematic when the buyer is uninvolved in the game and the eventual recipient is brand new. Also: clearly my aesthetic is very different from Brad's. I like Cadians, because their kit is actually *wearable*. Gas masks suck so hard. No real soldier would wear one unless they had to, and armies full of people in gas masks just look dumb outside of very specific contexts. :) (I also really don't like seeing a bunch of different regiments on a 40K table. 40K is a platoon-level conflict. No real army is made up of mixed forces at the platoon level. Even if your side has just suffered a disasterous defeat and has thrown together a scratch force from the remnants of several units, that won't be mixed at the platoon level! Having an army with a squad of Cadians and a squad of Death Korps and a squad of Catachans all on the same table doesn't look cool, it looks cartoonish and chaotic. And yes, this *is* just my opinion, man; I'm not stating facts here, just describing an aesthetic. If I ever meet you across a table I won't be all "oh, that looks stupid." But I'll think it.)

You guys seem to consistently underestimate how many infantry is standard for a guard list. You need a crap ton of infantry to play the game well, 60+ easily. Paying 50 bucks msrp is crazy, so value boxes including 2 squads of infantry is great for newer or slightly seasoned guard players. I understand liking krieg more but litetally every other kit is cadian, so dropping krieg in a value box would throw off the themeing when you dont even get a krieg command squad anywhere in the plastic range. I do agree votann is great. It has a bunch of units with no combat patrol overlap AND the non characters are all really great units roght now too, and historically have been good units. Got one on order from the lgs myself.

I don't wanna start with the final big thing and I feel thats true for alot of people. So even if the World Eaters box is good value I wont buy it, I do not want his sprue guilt tripping me.
@johannestafelmaier616
@johannestafelmaier616 10 месяцев назад
I have to somewhat disagree on the Guard Box and some others. First, Christmas boxes are not meant to be bought twice, the pre-order system even prevented that. The entry cost into Warhammer is very high, and this is GW reducing it to gain (new) people playing new (sub) factions. This is also helped by the fact that they are strongly limited (FOMO), and sold at the perfect time... Christmas. Second, especially in the Guard box, they are all new minis. GW is currently in the process of replacing many older kits as seen in the latest Space Marine release wave. The new kits usually also have less obvious mould lines etc. Therefore, I think the Guard box is quite good. Would honestly hate it if there was a Leman Russ in there, I think Rogal Dorns look so much better...

Wanted the Votann box, but it sold out online and no local store could get me one. They're limited to 3 of each and all are spoken for. Really irritating, especially when people are posting here they got multiple sets. Considering everything else is sold out for 6+ months at a time I'm just gonna give up on ever building the army up at this point. Either stick the crap in a closet until GW pulls their head out or sell it on eBay and use the money on other products companies actually want to sell me. Also I'm hoping tons were bought by scalpers so I can laugh at the eBay auctions where they try to sell Votann boxes for $500-600 not realizing that there's nothing special or limited edition in the set and the main draw was the discounted price. They're just gonna be trying to sell normal models for way over retail for no reason.

Flicking through old white dwarfs and catalogues is seriously depressing; battle for skull pass was £50 and had over 100 models in it, now the battle boxes are about 2× or 3× more expensive than back in 2006, and you only get about 30-40 models. I get nearly 2 decades is a long time, but god damn, have they lost the plot.

I don't think our hosts understand Guard. 60 infantry isn't the max you'd want in an army, it's the minimum for a balanced force. And command squads are great for building stand ins for our absurdly overpriced characters, so having a few extra is great. 2 combat patrols and this holiday box is a very good start to an IG army.

What do you typically run for IG lists? I hear a lot of comments from Poorhammer being frustrated by the focus on Cadian infantry, as opposed to Krieg.
@mouthwide0pen
@mouthwide0pen 10 месяцев назад
Yeah, 60 sounds like a lot until you remember that it's 120 points for 20 Cadians. 20 Cadians are the equivalent to 10 Necron Warriors, 10 Eldar Storm Guardians (and their lil artillery thing ig), 5 Khorne Zerkers, etc. Like they even acknowledge with other hordey infantry (nid gaunts) that you're probably running 60 of them if you're trying to use gaunts in a balanced list, but they seem to treat Guard as if people only play it with 90% tanks. I get not knowing armies well, but cmon, you treated Nids right and they use battleline the same way! Hell, 60 hormagaunts is still less reasonable than 60 cadians, bc unless you're doing a swarm oriented list, or just fucking love hormagaunts, you'll still probably have a mix of termagants and hormagaunts, whereas Guards basic infantry aren't mechanically all that different. Nobody has any reason to run Cadians and Krieg in the same list aside from thinking that they both look cool.

@@legodragon1999​​⁠​⁠not OP but I am a guard main. The number can honestly depend on what kind of list you’re running, but as another commenter said 20 of our guys is roughly the same strength of the standard squad of almost every other army. Basically, in you’re running a regular old combined arms type list, you’re looking at around 100-120 bodies. For a tank focused list, about 60-80; for an artillery list, 80-100. And of course infantry focused lists will go even higher. It’s even possible to do a pure infantry list and get about 360 models on the board (and it’s strangely viable, too). PS: Kreigers and Cadians actually have separate datasheets. The basic gist is that cadians take objectives better while kreigers are more tanky.

Hosts are dead set on guard being the "Only tanks" army and ignore the existence of troops on a frequent basis, according to Brad and Erick the only way to play guard is 80 Leeman Russes and like one squad of infantry to sit on the back objective, why? simple, they don't like horde armies (unless you are nids ig) and Horde guard players find it annoying (Hell, I aint even a guard player and I find it annoying)

Agreed. Cause the Salamanders Strikeforce box gave you. Adrax, 3 Aggressors, 3 Eradicators, and I believe 20 Intercessors along with Salamander Primaris frames. Which is an amazing starting point for someone wanting to play Salamanders. Or even just getting some decent units for marines.

Australians have just brutal prices, exchange rate's about 2 AUD to 1 GBP, but they pay a 3 to 1 rate. 224 for a Kill Rig and 98 for Outriders. Interesting to contrast them with Japan, which has a similar exchange rate (after the yen are cents math) but much lower prices, 18700 for a Rig and 8300 for Outriders. I get that their pricing models are from a bygone time, and they like to talk about how much it costs to ship things out there, but I can't imagine trying to partake in this hobby at GW prices over there.

In defense of your statement on the guard box: as a guard player myself 40 infantry from this box and the combat patrol alone is not enough. Most guard players run a minimum 60 and an average of 80-90. If you’re going heavy into infantry that number goes well over 100. If there is anything certain with guard, you can never not use another 10 or 20 infantry here or there.
