Warhammer Age of Sigmar Skaventide Value

Warhammer Age of Sigmar Skaventide is here, and the latest edition of Age of Sigmar is full of icons for you to build. But, does Skaventide have anything to be excited about?

The highly anticipated 4th Edition of Age of Sigmar is finally here, and we’re getting a big box to celebrate it. As is often the case with Age of Sigmar, Games Workshop has gone above and beyond to pack the box with as many items as possible.

But, with a price tag of $210 USD (£160) is the barrier to entry too high for any new players?

Is Skaventide worth it?

So, this is a big question. We’ll use USD as our base currency here as it’s probably the most common, however, it’s worth noting that the box is cheaper for those in the UK and Europe. Especially those in the UK.

“per model” we’re looking at about $3.50, which is a really good start for the first box. The models in this set are very new, especially the ranged Skaven getting a complete refresh.

Skaven Model Cost

We don’t have the actual Skaven figures as the old models have all been removed, so we’ll have to look at what we have here.

• Clawlord in Gnaw-Beast – $45
• Gray Seer – $30
• Warlock Engineer – $25
• Ratling Warpblaster – $40
• Rat Ogor – $50
• 3x Warplock Jezzails – $50
• 40x Clanrats – $80

Total Price – $320*

It’s a solid value even if you want to play Skaven. But, that’s kind of the point of these boxes. It gets people in the door, giving them a huge selection of models

Stormcast Permanent Charge

While most of these models are obviously new, we have a better idea of ​​the cost because Stormcast still has a lot of their line still on sale.

• Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker – $60
• Lord-Terminos with Memorian – $45
• Lord-Veritant with Gryph-crow – $45
• Knight-Questor – $45
• 3x Reclusians with 2x Memorials – $50
• 3x Prosecutors – $60
• 10x Liberators – $60

Total Price – $375

Skaventide Value and Savings

The stuff here is actually “free stuff” but, it has a price so let’s get down to business.

• Hardback with 1x 272 pages Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book – $65
• 1x hardback with 144 pages Spearhead: Fire and Jade book – $40
• 1x 30″ by 22.4″ double sided game board – $5
• 24x Stormcast Eternals – $375
• 50x Skaven – ¤320
• 4x plastic push-fit terrain features – $30
• 36x Spearhead Cards – $15
• 17x General’s Handbook cards – $10
• 1x 6″ plastic range ruler and 1x 3″ plastic ruler – $5

Price – $865

Savings – $600

As always, saving does a lot of the heavy lifting here, as very few people can come up with all of these things individually. But even if you are interested in one army, you can easily sell the second one for $100 and get back about half of your investment.

Also, these boxes have a good amount of FOMO for new releases. If you’re looking to save some money, expect loads of second-hand models on sites like eBay in the coming weeks.
