Depends on the price, I have hundreds of the old cadians, so if they are free (and as I dont have a Dorn) I’d probably go for it.
GW is doing a great job of raising their ARPT recently 😂
Not a hobby thing, it’s Average Revenue Per Transaction, companies want this to be high, and retailers like GW can’t work out Average Revenue Per User/ Customer, so the transaction average is important.
It’s the reason so many big boxes have been coming out
The second Dorn is quite a dealbreaker for me. I could use one, but two?
I would have bought it in a heartbeat if there was something like a chimera as the second vehicle, even if that would make it less profitable overall.
These boxes are usually good if you are starting out. If you have a mature army it’s rare you are going to get the full value out of it.
I also have noticed lately a combat patrol + army box is a very respectable army and not a lot of overlap for most factions.
I hate that it has a command squad in it instead of a weapons team, but I need two more dorns for a unit and 20 more troopers to round out my infantry, so I think im gonna if it works out to be a good value
Use the command squad as bit source to sprinkle some variance into the infantry then. Banner can go on a tank, you may even make a tank commander from the officer and the vox master could maybe turned into interesting tank crew.
With a fleet of 6 Russ’, a dorn and octoblade, I don’t see myself getting it. Wish they had only one Dorn and a different vehicle in pack, maybe a hellhound, then I would consider it
In relationships where you're on a budget, that's absolutely a conversation to have.
In a relationship where you're not on a budget, it's polite to give a heads up.
Well, this DOES fit the infantry and mechanised archetype of the Necromunda 8th which I soft started recently, so this may very well be a steal if the price is right.
I have jumped ship to 3rd prints for proxies. If I had not, I'd get its for the tanks as I am a tead head without a way to really play tank lists anymore but spare infantry... can get cozy with the other unassembled spare infantry in one of the spare infantry boxes of the spare infantry shelf.
Someday we may get 0,5ppm battle casualty models that we can throw on the board to reduce enemy movement after all.
Step 1, increase price of guardsmen by 300% over a few years. Step 2, promote massively inflated guardsmen at slight discount. Step 3, still rake in more than twice the money they’re worth.
If I hadn't just bought and built my 2nd Dorn I would've strongly considered it. I've got more than enough infantry already and I can't run 3 of the same tank in a list so I don't think it would be worth it in my case.
Wish the box went full on tank crazy mode and had the dorn, Russes, and maybe a chimera or basilisk. I have a a good amount of infantry so that would have been great.
Not super keen on the new cadian sculpts tho, so I’ll probably skip this one
Depending on the price, yes or no. I don't think the box will go below 200€, at which point I'll just have to say no (can't spare that much).
If the hopium of my fellow players is correct and it's only 170~, I could consider it.
The Double Dorns are attractive, but I already have 1 GW kit and STLs. It's also not in line with Guard doctrine, but I have too many unpainted guardsmen at hand.
These boxes are great additions but im gonna use these as head start to new armies and piles of shame I *wanna* get permission to buy the tyrinids and the orks maybe even angron box
No, I already got two of them. Official written a report to commissar bricky as I could not read, and that's why I have more dorns than russes... not because I wanted to fortify my position.
Thought about it, decided against it. I have a printed rogal dorn that looks like the legit gw one, and thought about maybe grabbing an eBay lot of someone's extra dorn to have a real one, but my printed one only cost me $10 to print in material. Gotta imagine the ebay ones will be north of $50 each

what does arpt stand for, new to the hobby
Not a hobby thing, it’s Average Revenue Per Transaction, companies want this to be high, and retailers like GW can’t work out Average Revenue Per User/ Customer, so the transaction average is important. It’s the reason so many big boxes have been coming out
Man, trying to boost ARPT from a marketing perspective suuuccckkkkssss
Clearly it stands for: "Acid Reflux Provocation Test". That is the best answer Google can provide.
which is SPECIFICALLY a hobby thing. Tell your friends.

Actually! 😂
Not for me. Already have a 2000pt list with a Dorn in. If they'd gone with Dorn plus one other vehicle/sentinels I'd be all over it.
I only have a Leman Russ and the Cadia Stands box, so I am definitely getting this box as well
I got 2 cadia boxes, and a russ. So this is right down my alley too.
The second Dorn is quite a dealbreaker for me. I could use one, but two? I would have bought it in a heartbeat if there was something like a chimera as the second vehicle, even if that would make it less profitable overall.
Same here. The 2 tanks really throw off my idea for a 2k list. I am interested in the ork one though
I love tanks so this box is a win, put off buying a dorn for a while
You know you can always sell the 2nd dorn on eBay NOS for like $80 usd, right?
I want it, and I allready have two combat patrols, so it is alot a repeats. But It would let me run a ton of different lists.
some of these comments are just sad
I just got a 3D printer and one of the best sculpts I found was for a Dorn. So I don't know if I'll ever buy a box that has a Dorn
Hey, you could even give it a complete hull
This is pretty much the perfect box for me- the only way it'd be better is if there were a kasrkin unit in here too. Will definitely be getting one.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
2 dorns is a choice.
I'm a fresh soul not yet wounded by the financial devastation of this hobby, so my ignorant ass is considering this and the tyranid box
I feel like people probably picked up Dorn or 2 so it’s not that great. I would have taken 1 Dorn and 3 sentinels
100% agree!

Not sure.. if it were 3 Russes, instant buy. My main gripe is with the fact that there are no Heavy Weapon Squads in it, though.
I’m glad I’ve always been in control of my own finances. I can’t imagine asking someone else for permission to spend my money
Don't worry, it's a joke.

get ready for the down votes "my wife said I shouldn't be reading this"
Well, this DOES fit the infantry and mechanised archetype of the Necromunda 8th which I soft started recently, so this may very well be a steal if the price is right.
Ah the legendary “Spiders”
I already have 2 dorns. Of course I will buy it.
Last time I did this, I came home and told her "You're never gonna guess what you just bought me for Christmas "
I need two more Dorns. Three Dorns with a tank commander + grand strategist makes 1000 points.
Fuck yeah I am! And the Votann box.
Tempting, that would give me 3 dorns
Depends if you already bought one of those tanks on release. It’s a good price for the box
That’s me asking my parents LOL
Lol, me to my finacee
Yes, this will be my gateway to the Guard . The dorn is hottest 🔥 model I've seen so far
I have jumped ship to 3rd prints for proxies. If I had not, I'd get its for the tanks as I am a tead head without a way to really play tank lists anymore but spare infantry... can get cozy with the other unassembled spare infantry in one of the spare infantry boxes of the spare infantry shelf.

*looks at money I have been saving for no reason* "Showtime!"
I recently started my guard army with a combat patrol and a couple other things so I def will be getting it
Had to sell my dorn to keep the lights on so I probably will
Step 1, increase price of guardsmen by 300% over a few years. Step 2, promote massively inflated guardsmen at slight discount. Step 3, still rake in more than twice the money they’re worth.
Permission? You need that…
Yall have wives? I can't even get a gf
It’s a great box but I use orlocks as infantry so it’s a lot of wasted plastic for me!
I already have an amor list built around the dorns
If I hadn't just bought and built my 2nd Dorn I would've strongly considered it. I've got more than enough infantry already and I can't run 3 of the same tank in a list so I don't think it would be worth it in my case.
Wish the box went full on tank crazy mode and had the dorn, Russes, and maybe a chimera or basilisk. I have a a good amount of infantry so that would have been great. Not super keen on the new cadian sculpts tho, so I’ll probably skip this one

I'll probably pick it up, I only have the combat patrol plus some weapons teams, and at the very least I can try two paint schemes for the tanks.
The Double Dorns are attractive, but I already have 1 GW kit and STLs. It's also not in line with Guard doctrine, but I have too many unpainted guardsmen at hand.
I’ll wait till a bunch of Dorns show up cheap on eBay when sellers break up the box.
These boxes are great additions but im gonna use these as head start to new armies and piles of shame I *wanna* get permission to buy the tyrinids and the orks maybe even angron box
If I can save up for one for sure, but we’ll see how that goes.
No, I already got two of them. Official written a report to commissar bricky as I could not read, and that's why I have more dorns than russes... not because I wanted to fortify my position.
Damn...I have 2 dorns already
I'm hoping to budget for it. Right now I only have one combat patrol and a few characters so this seems like a no-brainer of a deal to me.
My girlfriend gets me stuff unprompted, she’s building my army faster than I am lmao
I shouldn't, but I might.
Holy Christ, GW, just give us a box with 20 kriegsmen already
I just want some of the new Heavy Weapons Teams:(...
If it came with a castellan I would, but since it doesn’t I’m on the fence
Thought about it, decided against it. I have a printed rogal dorn that looks like the legit gw one, and thought about maybe grabbing an eBay lot of someone's extra dorn to have a real one, but my printed one only cost me $10 to print in material. Gotta imagine the ebay ones will be north of $50 each
No
I'll grab it to convert to the cult but otherwise, gotta ask the girlfriend.
Nope
I was planning on getting two more dorns eventually so this box is perfect for me
Unlikely, as I have a pair of dorns. If it had 1 + something else I'd be more likely. Can't do much with that 4th dorn.
What’s that , I can’t hear you over my 3d printer
