Honestly, as a core of the army it seems perfect. All you really gotta grab afterwards is a second Character and some transports and youll be golden, not even talking about the rest of the awesome EC specific kits they revealed.
Hopefully they'll do what they did with the Night Lords and Bl/Dangels and release an upgrade kit for standard legionaries if you want to expand a little more or do themed armies. I've been waiting for EC to be a real army since 1994, I think I can wait a little longer for said sprues.
@steweygrrr honestly yeah, this is really the first legion troop I reckon they could get away with that with. If not, I'm sure a box of Legionaries would mix very well with the EC guys for variety anyway.
My plan is to buy that box fucking ASAP, get the noise marine charecter, build one of each infantry unit and split the infiltrate guys into units of 5. I've already got 2 daemon engines and can proxy vashtorr as a daemon prince. (Not to mentioned 1.4k of slaanesh)
Honestly I think it's the perfect launch box. It has both battle line units, a leader, and two sets of the elites which is exactly what I'd hope for. The "basics" in a box, and then the extras are in the other boxes
@@gergerflarg I really like that the Combat Patrol gives you another of the battleline unit which is really 2 kits in 1, and 2 of that sexy sword unit. It’s a really nice release!
I would have rather had one of those noise marines be a flawless blades squad, but also what self respecting EC player doesn’t want at least 2 squads of noise marines?
Posting a video doesn't take long. Probably films a few in one go than posts them at timed intervals. Not sure what your concern is, 14 hours in between is fine. How much of a break between work do you have, in hours?

Originally when I started Warhammer I wanted to do the Slanesh army but Nurgle had more to choose from so I started with Nurgle instead but now that Slannesh is coming out I'm going to be finishing my Nurgle army this year and starting the next one because this time I really want to get them when they come out because I really just want to paint the whole thing Slannesh army. I'm tempted to do them all synthwave style
Launch box, combat patrol plus vehicle support from my Slaanesh themed chaos knights will tide me over until I see what the Christmas battle force boxes are.
My guess based on the other demon legion boxes is Fulgrim 2 perfect blades and either a unit of the tormentor box or noise Marines it seems like now a lot of the new Christmas boxes are meant to work with the combat patrols
Honestly, my biggest concern is that everything showed off at the preview is going to be the entire range. Don’t get me wrong, everything looked fantastic, it just wasn’t a lot. No terminators? No sorcerers? No human cultists? They could even have had their own take on Hellbrutes with a new sonic dreadnought. TS, WE and hopefully EC all need to be brought up to the same standard as DG.
What did you expect? It was always gonna be similar to world esters and we got everything from the rumours. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by expecting too much
I think it looks good. Combine it with the Combat Patrol box and you've got the makings of a good army. If you do the same with the Guard boxes, you don't even get a Battleline unit.
I'll for sure pick up a box of these. Love the Noise Marines, the thought of them pulverizing their enemies insides with sound waves is just too hilarious!
Im personally picking up the Boxset, just to have some EC models on my greedy hands right as they drop. Though to have a more battle ready army, I have some termies to paint as well as Havocs with the old noise marine upgrade kit for Noise marines, and some possessed to act as proxy for the Flawless blades. Unsure about picking up the Combat Patrol since I feel like EC is going to be a very elite army with not too many units on the board, and if you've been playing CSM for a while or just have some basic marines with bolters or chainswords I doubt anyone is going to care all that much that you're using basic legionaries to proxy for the new EC battleline units.

I cant wait for this box! My first warhammer book was about Fulgrim and his fall from grace and I've loved the legion ever since. Even if they end up not being good on the table i cant wait to play them.
I'm definitely gonna be picking up some Emperor's Children, I've been waiting years for some Slaanesh, but I'm not sure about picking up the box. If they swapped out one of the squads for a squad of Flawless Blades I would be more tempted. I'll probably end up picking up a few things when they release separately. I'm already working on a Slaanesh themed CSM army so it would be nice to add in some noise marines.
Will 100% pick up a box of these. EC were the first army I played in 7th before I sold it as didn’t have much theme at the time. With GW making chaos armies more on theme, I’m 100% leaning into this one. 🔊
I hope they start fleshing out the other traitor and loyal legions more in the following editions. I'd love to see salamanders and alpha legion get their own unique plastic or acknowledgement, for example. These are very cool!
Even before discounts, cause most I know of offer a discount even on launch boxes, its a good deal. 35 for most ICs 62.50 for Havocs, aka Noise Marines 65 for General troops 60 for normal Codex 25 or 35 for datasheet cards, havnt bought in a while so cant remember EXACTLY so anywhere from 375 to 385 USD, and its selling for 230? Means a minimum savings of 145 and max of 155 USD, so anywhere between a 37 and 40% discount.
Glad to hear you don’t need to mechanize the battleline like World Eaters do. My son and I also plan on using them to spice up the regular chaos marine battleline squads visually I do wonder if noise marines will have a transport capacity of 2 like Gravis marines, this limiting their ability to mechanize. I am trying to figure out general chaos auxiliaries to make a 2000 pointer. Like Bikes or Raptors or maybe just a couple of predator tanks
I've been waiting for this box forever. Definitely going to get one. Was hoping to get two, but it just isn't worth a second one. But probably going to get the combat patrol too.
Assuming it's not an insane price, I can see it as an absolute win. I already have a pretty robust CSM army, so if all else fails I can borrow uses of pre-existing models that'll likely slot in without much issues. I also got Daemon slaanesh units I haven't used and a few resin Noise Marines, plus their special-edition one I'm dying to make a Lord Kakophanous at some point, allowing for an even easier time transitioning to a full EC setup.
I'm excited for this box, I haven't played in several editions and this box got me excited to jump back in. The combat patrol would nice to add to this. Curious which daemon units make it over.
I feel like the multi-build potential for both the troops and the lord saves the prospect of buying this plus a combat patrol as an army starter. Should be roughly 1100 points between the two, which isn't a half bad start to a new army for just under $400 USD. Now, I just really want to see a demon engine with Fury Road style giant speakers for the faction.
I think it's an excellent army box to build with. While I initially wasn't really interested in the faction, these reveals have certainly piqued my interest and I'm now considering getting my hands on them. I do have a fancy Keeper of Secrets on my shelf, could be a good reason to get to use it.
I wanted Emperors Children as my Chaos faction decades ago! I have the old Lucius in metal and a couple of old marine squads, but that's about all there was back then. These new models are Lucious (see what I did there 😉😄)
If I didn't have a 3d printer this seems like a good deal. 2 boxed of dual build battleline units, 12 elite infantry, and the character seem like a nice mix, and adding the combat patrol on top of it still seems fantastic even with 30 battleline Assuming it's at the 230usd price point I could see getting this, with how obsolete balance updates make codexes it makes it feel a little pointless but that cover looks fantastic
It’s a great deal, imo. This + the Combat Patrol gives you a really amazing start to the army. Can’t wait to see how they push the army further in 11th!
It's only after chilristmas that I had kids and a partner and games workshop dropped urruk warclans battle tomb, the new scenery piece . Then, death korps of kreig now, this finically I think I might struggle this year, and after reading the battle tomb I can only guess we're getting big release for urruk warclans
Thinking of getting the release box and picking up some flawless blades when they come out. It and a combat patrol, or two of the release box feels like I get simply too much of the same stuff
gyus, i have a question. Is this is for the EC reveals? Is there a chance of more stuff being revealed? I am really happy about this but it seems so...little?
I like the idea of data cards, they are obviously useful, except they aren’t very useful is some of those cards are already out of date before they can even be bought
I think I know what will happen to be'lakor it's possible he gets put in the basic chaos space marine codex and thus meaning he works alongside all of chaos while also being chaos undivided
This is as good as I can realistically hope for from GW. It’s all new models and unique to the army so if you are going to build EC it seems genuinely useful and the combat patrol does exactly what GW wants it gives you battleline and multiple generic HQ.
Damm now in addirion to finishing out my world eaters with rhe new units in the book and some more eight bound i want to start a new faction. Do i want EC or the grey knights when they get a range refresh
I'm holding on till the Combat Patrol drops, I like the Flawless Blades more than the Noise Marines. The only thing tempting me for the Starter set is the exclusive Codex cover, but it's not THAT good.
This box is awesome unlike the guard box. I wish they release another quard box now for the katachan or even another cadian box but with better minis included and more worth the price. Waiting for the wolves refresh I really hope as great as this box for my wolves expansion since the combat patrol.
I would have MUCH preferred if the Army box contained 1 Lord Kakophinist, 2 x 6 Noise Marines, 3 Flawless Blades and 2 x 5 Tormentors / Infractors. I just don't see myself using 20 of those basic guys.
Picked up the DKoK box and I’ll be really annoyed if this one is also $230, I really don’t think you’d get much argument if the EC box was $250ish given the amount of units in the box, but damn they really could’ve thrown a heavy weapons team or Krieg Command Squad to make it worth the price tag. I think they are treating the artillery piece as a near vehicle equivalent to try and justify the price, but ahh well, as someone new to the hobby, this one is a really great start to get a Chaos army going with just a transport and tank unit needed to round it out more.
I bet it will be released before Adepticon (March 26th), so between March 15th or 22nd, because surely in this event they will announce the Space Wolves and I think they will want the ECs to be released before the next announcement, or at least this one It's my theory.
So in the Points in the Box section i would also say about 700 because If you take things from "normal" Csm then this would roughly be a 700 Points list
If its in the £130-150 range it may be a good buy. Probably gonna end up being 50ish for a box and 25/30 for the character after release. Probably going to be impossible to preorder though seems people are salavating like crazy over it.
Since other armies do all the "Eldar" things better they don't know how to write an Eldar dex. Tau and certain marines are faster. Almost every army gets more rerolls now. Eldar weapons have half the shots at 2/3 the range of other armies. They were really built around fate, and that was apparently too good, so now it's next to useless. They need more evasion. Dodge saves in the form of FNP. More hit mods. More flexible movement (swap move and shoot maybe?). All those things though make other players cry. We'll see what they did with it. I'm afraid it'll be like the Armored Warhost so we can pay CP just to get abilities other armies have built in.
Personally a 7/10 box which is a lot better than most of the army boxes they've made. I'd have put it at an 8 or 9 if they had 1 more character, a Kakophonist or Lucius would have rounded out the box perfectly
Incredibly fittingly designed new models that have a great contrast of good looking and gross looking parts. Love that the 'chaos trim' is toned down for flatter smoother surfaces. As a World Eaters fan this makes the nails bite harder
oh for sure, it makes me super excited to see how their datasheets and weapon profiles have changed because clearly theyre getting the love they deserve
Yup. Just looked at the store order form. The release is pathetic. No box, no combat patrol. Exactly 1 new character and a bunch of resculpted reduxes. No more info on the codex (sold only as a standalone). Pretty sure Eldar got the "B" team treatment and were launched briefly between imperial and marine forces that got all the attention.
I'm 100% buying one of these boxes and two combat patrols for sure. Ill have to buy Lucius, Kakophanist and Fulgrim at some point too but ive been saving up for this for AGES so im ready
deadass, my first buy is the box, kakophonist and lucius. that alone gives me everything for the army Bar the flawless blades. fulgrim is gonna be a treat later.
Honestly, as a core of the army it seems perfect. All you really gotta grab afterwards is a second Character and some transports and youll be golden, not even talking about the rest of the awesome EC specific kits they revealed.

They mostly look kinda lame tho… Fulgrim has a naff head, nowhere near enough nipples to make slanesh happy in that box…
@@bloodfest8510I may make the infantry one of each too. But, after this box I’m definitely going to have to buy blades. They’re epic.
Honestly I think it's the perfect launch box. It has both battle line units, a leader, and two sets of the elites which is exactly what I'd hope for.
The "basics" in a box, and then the extras are in the other boxes

I think those are Daemonettes
@coleparker6355 They’re not.
Look closely. They’re augmented normal humans.
They are Daemonettes. The cultists in the big display picture are generic ones painted slightly pink with a bit of kit bashing

Wishful thinking but could happen
What did you expect? It was always gonna be similar to world esters and we got everything from the rumours. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by expecting too much
I think EC got considerably more than world eaters did. At least we have an infantry lord.
They'll probably add a terminator unit at some point. I hope they're Tartaros Terminators

gotta love gw's obsession with turning 5 man units into 3 man units and increasing the price while decreasing the number of models

I said to myself, "If they released an EC army at the Las Vegas open, I'd make then my first army over White Scars". Looks like it's finally time
Hoping for a terminator or vehicle unit, love the noise marines but I think they're imaginatively tame compared to second edition design's.

I think they are treating the artillery piece as a near vehicle equivalent to try and justify the price, but ahh well, as someone new to the hobby, this one is a really great start to get a Chaos army going with just a transport and tank unit needed to round it out more.
I bet it will be released before Adepticon (March 26th), so between March 15th or 22nd, because surely in this event they will announce the Space Wolves and I think they will want the ECs to be released before the next announcement, or at least this one It's my theory.
So in the Points in the Box section i would also say about 700 because If you take things from "normal" Csm then this would roughly be a 700 Points list
easiest 1.5k list in my life
i'm tempted to pick it up, but got no room for a new army :D
Tormentors with Infiltrate and Battle Line...Ooh Err! Tormentor jail incoming!
Yeah I'll probably get one copy.
If its in the £130-150 range it may be a good buy. Probably gonna end up being 50ish for a box and 25/30 for the character after release.
Probably going to be impossible to preorder though seems people are salavating like crazy over it.
OT but preorders for Aeldari are next Saturday.
Auspex is slowing down. Maybe he's human after all 😅😅
I was saving for a down payment on an apartment but I’ve been waiting for EC for so long it might be worth it to delay a bit
Look at all those tactical rocks.
FOR me that box is perfection👍
How are Eldar not getting a launch box? Wild.
Since other armies do all the "Eldar" things better they don't know how to write an Eldar dex. Tau and certain marines are faster. Almost every army gets more rerolls now. Eldar weapons have half the shots at 2/3 the range of other armies. They were really built around fate, and that was apparently too good, so now it's next to useless. They need more evasion. Dodge saves in the form of FNP. More hit mods. More flexible movement (swap move and shoot maybe?). All those things though make other players cry. We'll see what they did with it. I'm afraid it'll be like the Armored Warhost so we can pay CP just to get abilities other armies have built in.
I love the noise marines, but none of the rest. Wonder if it’s possible to just have noise marines and a bunch of demons lol
Personally a 7/10 box which is a lot better than most of the army boxes they've made.
I'd have put it at an 8 or 9 if they had 1 more character, a Kakophonist or Lucius would have rounded out the box perfectly
Incredibly fittingly designed new models that have a great contrast of good looking and gross looking parts. Love that the 'chaos trim' is toned down for flatter smoother surfaces.
As a World Eaters fan this makes the nails bite harder
If Noise Marines are going to be in units of 6 no more no less, a box with 2 of the max 3 youll be able to field seems worth it to me.
oh for sure, it makes me super excited to see how their datasheets and weapon profiles have changed because clearly theyre getting the love they deserve
Aeldari coded confirmed for pre order this weekend!
Yup. Just looked at the store order form. The release is pathetic. No box, no combat patrol. Exactly 1 new character and a bunch of resculpted reduxes. No more info on the codex (sold only as a standalone). Pretty sure Eldar got the "B" team treatment and were launched briefly between imperial and marine forces that got all the attention.
I am easily taking two of those
When will this launch?
I think the box would be about $380 in australian dollars, correct me if I'm wrong
Scalp potential 8/10 [Recommended]
I'm 100% buying one of these boxes and two combat patrols for sure.
Ill have to buy Lucius, Kakophanist and Fulgrim at some point too but ive been saving up for this for AGES so im ready
deadass, my first buy is the box, kakophonist and lucius.
that alone gives me everything for the army Bar the flawless blades.
fulgrim is gonna be a treat later.
Looks like the only things missing will be Lucius, the Lord Kakophonist, and the Flawless Blades
edit: and Fulgrim, obvi
Cant wait!
