I once got a Militarum Tempestus Start Collecting box as my first ever Warhammer 40k army and at the time I didn't know what I was doing so I just got everything that a hot-shot Lasgun to make a 5 man squad with a Tempestor, later building up another 5 Scions (one with a plasma gun and another with a flamer, quite a bad load out though) this Squad ended up being too expensive to run at being around 107 points back before the Chapter Approved 2019 edition came out. Seeing the kit with all the parts and not cut out made think that I could recycle the squad to make 2 more Scion out of Boxset of these Scions, making me have a better start up for a Scion counterattack force
This is a cool army, but, they are SO expensive. And I don't mean "40k is expensive", I mean, expensive relative to 40k. If you wanted to build an army with both their special detachments, it'd cost almost double a normal full list... they're disproportionately priced... a major reason no one plays them...

Thanks for the unboxings, was wondering how these boxes were going to be laid out.

These guys have the best start collecting kit ever,you can just keep buying em over and over and eventually you have a full army lol
Good review. But have you seen the price of an army? Wow. I mean really. wow. No wonder they are closing all the shops.
