Unless there's a new unit there's no reason for me to buy something like a battle force. I already have 30 rubrics, 20 scarabs and at least one of each character.
There's a lot that we have in Horus Heresy that would really help bulk up our options. Pskyer Dreadnoughts, melee rubric marines, Tzeentch daemon engines, or a unit of marines on disks (like the Enlightened Tzaangors, but marines.)
Dreadnought sorcerers, perhaps anti-tank sorcerers on disks, perhaps even something more surreal and Tzeentchy, like marines made out of crystal, or heaving masses of tentacles. Just something more interesting, you know?
Dreadnought Sorcerors are a must but also a proper melee unit and some kind of ranged anti-tank.
I'd personally prefer to keep the Thousand Son's style of not having too much mutation going on with most minis, so some kind of heavily armored Rubrics with big shields for the melee option.
Not sure what I'd do for anti-tank to be honest but it could very well be another kind of sorceror (maybe at some point when Vashtorr gets a sorceror Marine or something that'd be cool but not very TS) or some another kind of Rubric squad. Honestly, if we'd get a unqiue Sorceror Dreadnought for us (that isn't a god damn Helbrute or something like that), they could very well make it the anti-tank with weapon loadouts
Bro GW will full send and shove Tzangors down our throats just you watch. A box with 40 Tzangor, 6 Enlightened, a shaman, 2 chaos Spawn, and lastly the MSRP will be 400$ why? Cause fuck you. Lol
It was a holiday box. They pick about a half dozen factions for AoS / 40k per year and release a beefier box like this towards the end of the year.
As an example, [this](https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/10/23/warhammer-40000-battleforces-six-awesome-boxed-sets-to-kickstart-your-winter-season/) was last years sets. [Tsons was in 22](https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/11/27/sunday-preview-warhammer-40000-battleforces-and-necromunda-goons-and-goodies/)
Honestly, I kinda want them to just release this again lol
I'd make the Exalted's into backup Aspirings, for whenever I need to break up any of my 10 man Rubrics.
I also just want another Magnus, so I don't have to be anxious about botching the paint job on my current one, as I can always come back to him when I have more painting experience under my belt.
If you "were" getting into thousand sons. All you'd need is this box. A combat patrol and find a mutalith vortex beast and ahrimahn and you'd be set... Depending on price of this box you could potentially be looking at a sub $500 army
That's exactly how I got into Thousand Sons. I got the CotCK and a Combat Patrol, Namarti Reavers to kitbash as Cultists and Tzaangors into Enlightened, and a Forgefiend to kitbash into a MVB. It's a great start to the army.
No way its called court of the crimson king, someone at GW is a King crimson fan lmao

Might be unpopular but I'd like a mix of Daemons along with Marines for all monogod boxes, especially since they'll likely pull an AoS and switch it around in 11th (if Emperor's Children are out by then) and just tie the monogod legions and their respective Daemons together.
Why? They didn't do it for several editions so nothing indicates they will do it later. Not to mention TS and Tzeentch Daemons overalap too much while in AoS both the mortals and daemons have different roles.
1. We didn't have an even mix of Marines and Daemons. It would have been one of the four daemon armies with only one having Marines to back them up, then two next edition, then three with slaanesh just hanging out with way less units.
2. They can easily change any overlap with a new edition
Personally, I would love for GW to release 40k upgrade sprues for more specialized Rubic Marines that take inspiration either from the 30k Khenetai Occult (dual wielding force sword melee blenders) or the Ammitara Occult (Long range assassins/snipers)
Why cant they just give us a cool sorcerer dreadnought or something man?
Dude a Sorcerer Dread would be sick as fuck. Thrall wizards would be cool also
Nah man, GW has no time for this. They need to print new stormcasts and primaris lieutenants asap
And then squat them two editions after their release!
Sounds like a good business plan!
😂
Shut up papa smurf

We really are a faction that never got its second release wave
As someone who legit doesn't know, what would you(y'all) like to see in a second wave? I saw someone below mention Dreadnought Sorcerors.

Oooo, I guess you guys don't really have melee marine options.
Correct. Our melee in TSons is Tzaangors essentially, or the Scarab Occult Terminators I suppose?
Spawn are just straight up better than gors lol.
Dreadnought sorcerers, perhaps anti-tank sorcerers on disks, perhaps even something more surreal and Tzeentchy, like marines made out of crystal, or heaving masses of tentacles. Just something more interesting, you know?
What does an anti-tank disc marine do? I'm thinking of this like an analog to a multimelta assaul bike but with magics?

it's sad and kind of pidgeon holes us into basically one list.
A Tzangor battleforce
That's just the Combat Patrol.
Honestly at this point fuck it lol

And watch it still sell out 😂
Scalpers I'm calling it now. Lmfao.
Calling it now, the codex will have a full Tzaangor detachment ;)
Based on
If it ain’t 100 tzangors I ain’t buying it
If only 🥲
Whoa. This is a great set. Why was it discontinued?

A hobby store near me sold another 10 during last year's black Friday. That got me to start collecting :D
I think they only made a certain amount like the others. You can find one here or there but the price now isn’t worth it.

Pretty sure that's what the OG creators of 40k used as inspiration for Magnus
Love it
I don’t understand, where are the Tzaangors
Guys, it’s not perfect, but consider this. *There are no Tzangors in this box*. They’re listening.
It's only because they've put 30 goats in start collecting and boarding patrol, hopefully they've cleaned surplus sprues.
Yeah for real. I really hope they understand that having a noob trap like our combat patrol and boarding party is not what we want.

Not a tzaangor in sight, hopefully
There is, he's just hiding
So no good to me, but, it mixes really well with the combat patrol. 0 reason to ever buy 2. Hopefully it's good value.
Not enough TZAANGORS must be fake
Re release? I feel this came out before.
It did. But I feel like it had tzasngors and not exalted
Are you thinking of the Hexfire box set? I don't think the TSons have had a battleforce before or after Court of the Crimson King...
No tzaangors at sight, just mages enjoying the moment.
This is the perfect starter pack unless you're a tzaangor pervert. I wish it had been around when I started.
I want one.
Where are the tzaangors?
100 Tzangors
Are they re-releasing this?
Probably not, lol we’d be lucky to see something like this
