I live in Japan. The Ultimate Starter Set is cheaper here, (19,800 yen) than the stand alone Tyranid Combat Patrol box set that's on pre-order (22,300 yen) So for less money, you can get 2 full combat patrol armies, terrain, decent quality playing mats, dice and all the printed rules. Very odd.
If you like one or both armies, get two or more ultimate starter sets for the savings. And if you only really want one half you can split with a friend or sell it off online for more savings.
DON'T USE GLUE IN THE PEG-HOLES! You are creating a cavern with incompressible liquid and a bit of air otherwise! This means you can't push it together anymore. The pieces will be pushed outward again, because you built an airspring. Only use glue at contact surfaces!
I was going to get the mid tier set until the day before launch, but I realised that the boards were paper rather than solid card, this had me do a quick recheck of everything. working things out with the extra items, it almost made the set 1/2 price
See i originally was gonna get the cheaper one as that has just enough to start playing with my fiancé (they are totally new whereas I already have a imperial guard combat patrol force) with some extras for fun an variation. However i also like using my models decoratively so the added scenery is a massive bonus!
I'm sort of interested in the middle set for the models, this one adds stuff I don't personally need (scenery and boards, and a few extra figures) so doesn't work as well for me. But I guess getting 2 combat patrols for the price of 1 is a pretty sweet deal if you wanted to play that. I'll be using the models in either Xenos Rampant or OPR as I'm not a big fan of WH40K rules - big fan of Rogue Trader mind.
I have a big question about this set: If I would buy this and all my buddies biy combat patrols instead can we still play combat patrols gamemode ? Also I want to play blood angles but this set has insane value. Can I add 1-2 blood angles specific unit and be good to go with this set ?
Tough question - depends how sure you are you want it - if you have tried and liked the game then you probably want the scenery and stuff - in which case the bigger set is better value for you - if you want to try the system and are not sure about it then that is a lot of money to invest.
@@ModellingforAdvantage thank you! i have decided to pull the trigger onthe largest set. since the tyranids look like a faction i would like to play and i love painting.
AS A FORMER WARHAMMER GAMER(Nearly 20 years ago now) just wanted to say, SORRY, ITS NOT WORTH £125.00 OF ANYONES MONEY, IF YOU KNEW HOW MUCH IT REALLY COSTS TO PRODUCE THE PLASTIC MINIS AND TERRAIN, YOU WOULD BE SHOCKED, PUT IT THIS WAY IT COSTS A FEW PENCE FOR A STANDARD MARINE. WORK IT OUT! HENCE WHY I GAVE UP ON GAMES WORKSHOP, THE COMPANY USED TO BE ABOUT THE GAMER THE STAFF AND GAMERS WERE LIKE 1 BIG FAMILY AND THE STORES WERE ALWAYS FULL OF PEOPLE PAINTING, GAMING, CHATTING. BROWSING ETC BUT NOW MANY STORES ARE EMPTY OF GAMERS WHILE SOME HAVE CLOSED, THIS IS DUE TO MONEY AS ALWAYS, G.W WENT GLUTONOUS AND GREEDY, THEY THINK MORE ABOUT THE BUSINESS MAKING CASH THAN THINKING ABOUT THE GAMERS. SORRY FOLKS BUT THIS IS A FACT. APOLOGIES FOR THE RANT BUT IT NEEDED TO BE SAID. ANYWAY RESPECT TO MODELLING FOR ADVANTAGE.👍

Yeah, I think I said, snipping the pegs a bit can help, maybe I said that in a previous video in the series.
Trim the pegs a little and you should be good.
The combat patrol rules are also in that little Core book as well. Combat Patrol game type is actually pretty fun in my opinion.
The ultimate form of starter set, compared to previous one, this have better miniature composition but the terrain is quite lacklustre
I think this box is only worth buying if you want the terrain, its a lot extra for 6 minis.
I was going to get the mid tier set until the day before launch, but I realised that the boards were paper rather than solid card, this had me do a quick recheck of everything. working things out with the extra items, it almost made the set 1/2 price
If you want the boards and scenery the more expensive set is definitely the one to go for.
So I'm not the only one who sniffs a book fresh out of the box?
Oh mate, its the best bit!
I hope to get this set later on in the year as i bought the introductory set and now ive caught the bug to collect these minis

OPR is something that is growing on me for sure.
Scenery in a starter set!!!
I know right!
What's that little beacon lookin' thing by the Space Marines in the picture?
Teleport homer.
The token for the Terminator Squad to signify their Deep Strike location. It’s completely optional
even the image they showed at 5:23 shows 12 dice why they only get 10 or is that image not from the site itself
I take the pictures from the GW site.
I have a big question about this set: If I would buy this and all my buddies biy combat patrols instead can we still play combat patrols gamemode ?
Also I want to play blood angles but this set has insane value. Can I add 1-2 blood angles specific unit and be good to go with this set ?
Yeah, these forces in this box are combat patrols.
if i can get a ultmate starter set for €128 or the starter set for €68. what would be the best deal? seeing as i am new to the hobby

Blargh. Good thing GW helps me keep away from them. This "ultimate" set is wiat used to be a beginner's box
Too true.
