|  The new Dwarf army box...is it worth it? The box costs €160 and is all plastic. It has 40 warriors/longbeards/great weapons, 40 thunderers/quarrellers, 20 new plastic miners and 2 cannons/organ guns. And to top it off...a little pony and cart.  So what do you think...is it worth the hard earned cash?

| well it all depends on what kind of army you want really... the boxed armies generally speaking give you a nicely balanced force with a decent selection of basic units and a few 'shiny toys'. it saves you money so yes if that's what you're after then it's a decent buy! but if you're like myself and you enjoy more of themed list with only certain units and such, then no it's a horrible buy because there's bound to be at least half the box you're not really going to want to use! that's why i always find it helpful to first come up with an army list... at least build initially to a set list at basic tournament standard pts. (1500 for 40k/2000 for fantasy) you can always add-on afterwards if you find a unit or two that doesn't really fit with your style... cheers!

  | It is a good start! It is very well balanced and could be the basics for a very well rounded force!

| NOTE: I know nothing about WFB. I've looked at most of the Battleforce boxes, and, since I have a decent understanding of all the various troops and more standard elites of 40k, generally I would say to a starting player to ALWAYS buy the battleforce boxes. Why? Because, although many Battleforce boxes (and apperantly this army box) is not playable in it of itself (it seems to be missing a Lord or Hero or whatever), are great buys because of discounts! Discounts, espsically from GW are always good!  Also, usually battleforce boxed sets give you a decent bit of "basic" bread and butter units for most armies, and, unless you are playing a highly fluffy/highly cheesy army, you can never had enough troops!
