Discussion: New Tactical Squads and Pricing


A hot topic over the weekend has been the new Space Marines Tactical Squad that is rumored. Tactical Squad boxes have really been one of Games Workshop's biggest sellers over the history of the game, and the current box really is starting to show its age. Especially when you look at the other plastics for other armies.

- There is a new tactical squad. Lots of options as you'd expect, but of particular interest will probably be the grav pistol and grav rifle.

Rumors of a new tactical marine box has already created waves that these will be much more expensive than the current box which sits at $37.25. A price increase on this box set will effect many different armies, as more than just the Standard Space Marine codex uses this box set.

While I do not expect anything like the cost of Grey Knights ($33.00 a box for 5), a small increase is likely if these rumors come to be. We have not yet seen anything saying that Tactical boxes will cost more yet.

If and when this rumor turns out to be true, I expect that this topic will be very much everywhere.

Its too early right now to be upset, so lets keep the conversation positive and on topic.
