STRIKE FORCE AGASTUS THE £120 COMBAT PATROL

The strike force agastus is £120, the same price as the cadia stands box, the leagues of votann army box, and the beast snaggas box. All boxes that came with an army, data cards and a limited-edition codex. What do you get in the strike force agastus? 10 desolation marines, 5 heavy intercessors, a primaris lieutenant, and the new dreadnought. The heavy intercessors are £40 and it is safe to assume the desolation marines will be the same price. The lieutenants are £21, the redemptor £42.50, which we can use for the brutalis dreadnought. All before the price rise in March of course. This is a grand total of £183.50, saving £63.50. Looks like a good deal right? You are saving money, with the free dreadnought at lieutenant, and a rules booklet with 16 pages. Before I forget transfers, as well.

No, it’s not, it’s a bad deal because the combat patrol boxes exist. The space wolves combat patrol box is the closest in resemblance. You get the Invictus warsuit, 10 intercessors, 5 hounds of morkai, two upgrade sprues, and the battlelord. For £90. A £150, value and saving you £60. Showing almost everything in the strike force can appear to a deliberate mark up. To further show how egregious the strike force, the blood angel box has a total value of £158, saving £68. The blood angel box has a better saving with the lower model count. The cadia stands box has a total value of £214.50, a saving of £94.50. The leagues of votann army box had a value of £217.50, a £97.50 saving. Compared to the measly £63.50 saving. The desolation squads have not been accepted with the fanfare games workshop was hoping for. They are bad, they look just awful. Then of course is the brand-new lieutenant, that’s what we needed more lieutenants. The only model that looks good in the agastus box, is the brutalis dreadnought, and that is even over shadowed by the death company dreadnought. We have also had to other dreadnoughts lately, the new contemptor, and leviathan for horus heresy.

There is so little reason for anyone to buy strike force agastus. Not coming with a codex, but being the same price, as one of army boxes with a limited-edition codex. Is joke. The comparable prices and savings shows how badly this box has been priced. It’s just a combat patrol box for an extra £30.
