There's been a lot of talk about the coming release of the Warhammer 40,000 Dark Vengeance box set. If you ordered it by today (Wednesday) it'll ship on Friday! So let's see what you get?
To start you get two astonishingly detailed armies - Dark Angels and the Chaos Space Marines of the Crimson Slaughter. 48 miniatures in all, 49 if you are lucky enough to get the limited edition box set. All of the models are snap-fit plastic, so glue is optional.
As if the models weren't enough, Dark Vengeance comes with:
- A 168-page full-color mini Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook
- A complete Assembly Guide
- A quick-play reference guide
- An army roster sheet
- Dice and Templates
- A how-to-play booklet including six scenarios to enact on the tabletop.
The limited edition includes an exclusive Dark Angels model, Interrogator-Chaplain Seraphicus, a full-color double-sided reference sheet and assembly guide.
The Dark Vengeance box set contains enough miniatures to start a Dark Angels army, including a Company Master armed with power sword, bolt pistol and combi-weapon...
and Librarian Turmiel, who carries a bolt pistol and force sword.
You also get Veteran Sergeant Raphael and his Tactical Squad...
and Sergeant Arion and his Ravenwing Bike Squadron who are equipped with twin-linked boltguns.
Lastly you receive Deathwing Terminator Squad Barachiel.
All are resplendent in the iconography of the Dark Angels. From the finely crafted purity seals to studded power fists, to the Librarian with codex, keys and ornate sword, through to the Bikes with angel-wing panels, they are some of the most resplendent Space Marines ever sculpted.
To oppose the Dark Angels is the Crimson Slaughter. These Chaos Space Marine models contain attributes that will leave you slack-jawed in awe. Warp distress shows through on every detail of armour on the models.
The full Crimson Slaughter line-up includes: Kranon the Relentless, Chaos Lord - armed with power sword and plasma pistol; Mortis Metalikus: Helbrute - armed with multi-melta and power fist; and Draznicht's Ravagers: Chosen.
They stand alongside Chaos Cultists made up of Sect Anarkus, which carries close combat weapons,
and Sect Tetchvar, which carries ranged weapons such as autoguns. Both units are garbed in sinister-looking cloaks, masks and hoods.
The Dark Vengeance box set is not a bad value for the money. You get all the above mentioned items for only 99 US dollars! That's only about 2.00 each. So whether you want to start a Dark Angels or Chaos Space Marines army, want to add to your existing collection, or simply gape at the beautiful miniatures, this is a great purchase for you.
Have a Great Battle,
The Old Crow
It looks good and the value seems to be a rare thing on GW models these days.
