The latest insider spoils what is in the new Blindwater Army Box and then goes through the thought process of building it up to a full list. privateerpress.com/community/privateer-insider/army-building-with-the-blindwater-theme-boxThe models that caught my eye the most as being in the box are Rask, a Soul Slave, Kwaak and Gub, a Bone Shrine, and 2 Void Leeches. With how new some of these are and how good Rask is, some of these choices surprised me, but I'm cool with it I would totally buy this box if I wanted to get started in the Minions faction. |

I'd have bought the box... if I didn't already have a decent amount of the stuff in it. Why wouldn't they put the new Barnabas in there instead?  |

That's the problem with most of the army-in-one box sets...! But then again, they are for people who are new to the faction in question and offers a cheap in... And AFAIK, all the box sets have casters that have been part of the game for a while...  Immediately sticking a newly released caster which doesn't have an established place in the meta (except theoretically) being a bit of a high skill cap for new players, perhaps? *shrug* |

I definitely don't mind overall- there will definitely be cases where I'll buy some of these, for the factions I've not started. PP is doing a great job overall, I think  |

PP is doing a great job overall, I think Yeah, agree... next time a Cryx one comes out I'll eye it very warily... -_- (and ignore the wails of my dwindling bank account) And it's good that almost without exception the boxes are strong and balanced for their points level, largely well suited to the caster included and a solid variety of contents, too. |

Well, if Cryx gets one in theme with the rest of what's been happening, it's going to be a Scharde Pirate box. I wonder if they will give it a caster or not. The Trencher one didn't have a caster in it. |
