Hmmm, I like marines & orks, but one box each of infantry & vehicles for
both armies would run $40 U.S.
For $70 I can get 2 to 3 times that many, plus bases, ruins, and rules.
Kinda sucks, as even with all the griping about GW 's price increases
(some from me) this is a first. For the old games it was always cheaper
to buy the packs and not the big box, partly because there was a very
limited selection of mini types in the big box. I think you'll see much
smaller armies with the new set-up...
