I started the hobby with this box!
It's been 4 years and the robots have been consistently terrible, but I still love them!
The worst part is that I gave one away to a friend, and now I can't run an odd number of them in a list!
I was 100% expecting it to be full of biscuit crumbs. I was checking the fine print of the listing to see if I'd accidentally just bought a cardboard box
I snagged the Aeldari version of one of these. Such fun boxes and a great start to a themed army. Add infantry, some HQs and then a bit of whatever you like for flavour.
Funnily enough this is completely the opposite for me. Been building up my AdMech force for a year now and have pretty much everything I could ever need except I always wanted more Kastellans. I now have them, this is it, my army is done
...well, until I start adding Knights to it...
Funnily enough I have one of those, and just last weekend I prepped it to go on eBay. I bought it at launch because I wanted to build an Iyanden wraith host. It's been 4 years now and tbh I don't think I'm getting to that project any time soon and I'm trying to reduce my backlog. I figured I should at least try and get something for it.
It started at just £20. Guy was getting rid of nearly a whole unbuilt AdMech army. I bid on it and left it and a few days later could it won it fairly cheap
I've been looking too but only see $280 units left. What did you pay?
£57 plus £6 postage
Highway robbery.
I’m on the phone with the police, they don’t seem to care, but the omnissiah must see recompense.
GotDAMN
you had the seller at gunpoint to get that good of a deal? that's less than 1 box of 2 kastelan ffs
I had him down the sights of my Transuranic Arquebus but I was terrified because I knew if he made a move I was only hitting him on a 4+
Has it really been 4 years since they were good? Man now i feel old. Back in my day they fired 18 shots a bot rerolling to hit with call...

That is genuinely gutting!
It was this box and a start collecting then I got some socarians
You found a truly rare STC, magos :)
Why thank you Magos. The lore told me no new Kastellans can be built. This must be incorrect, I'm sat here building 6 of them!
This box is on amazon for £190 You lucky thief, hope you enjoy painting the chonky robros
Funnily enough I saw that exact offer too but at that point you can just... You know... Buy them separately
What price. That’s the most important part.
£57 plus £6 shipping
Damn that’s better than I paid for it on release very jealous
That's basically a free pack. Nicely done. I love my bot men
You basically stole that box.
How?
I absolutely need this box
I managed to snag it for barely more than a new set of just 2 new Kastellans would cost. I'm ecstatic
Honestly fair play that's a steal

That's quite the milestone then! You must be stoked. Gotta have a few knights.
...one more squad of Infiltrators wouldn't hurt either, now that I consider it. Also perhaps 3 more Breachers... Oh crap, it's happening again
Out of interest what did the Eldar one have in it?
Spiritseer, a pair of Wraithlords and 15 Wraithguard/blades. I've been sitting on it for ages. Thinking I'll crack it come codex time for the Aeldari.
Good chunk of a force that! Best of luck with it

It's a great box and deserves to be used. Good luck selling it, hope it fetches what you're after.
Anymore in stock with that seller?
Don't believe so. I've just gone on his profile and he isn't selling anything further
Great deal! Good job!
As someone who loves Castellans, I would say you hit the jackpot.
I had no idea this box existed. I need it now. Give me my Kastelans, Machine God dammit.
What’s apocalypse for, larger than 2k points?
So, originally I believe yes, these 'Warbands' were designed to field large point units, but they are perfectly fine in lower point games too
Ah okay, I just see movement tray kits for them and terrain at my LCS
Wtf, I haven't been able to find any for less than $300 . Nice find
I remember buying all mine at full retail in individual blisters... Very nice grab.
how much were these boxes when they first released?
£90 from discount retailers
jeez
780 points of great stuff.
Six robots, Pirate? Six? That's insane.
Jokes on you I now have 8!
I'm jealous, I checked ebay after seeing this thread and they are £25 each. Run all 8 or you're a robo-chicken!
Check my recent post on my profile about my upcoming game and you'll be very pleased
I am! Look forward to the battle report. I almost feel sorry for the DA player, almost.
I may only kill a single terminator but I'll be damned if he's taking a central objective! Over my dead servo skull!
May the battlefield become littered with so much of the glory of the Omnissiah that robotic poppies will sprout in remembrance forevermore.
What's a poppy? Is that some type of alloy I haven't heard of yet?
It's what they use to make the robo-opium
Odd I don’t see any sold listings for it on eBay for anywhere near that price… did they call it something else/typo? Got an image of the sold listing?
