3. Should you buy

The Emperor's Children have returned in force (and decadent style) to the Warhammer 40K universe, but their Champions of Slaanesh Army Set is increasingly tough to find. In fact, stock seems to have been hurled into the Warp. Plenty of retailers have run out... but not all.

That's why I've been scouring the digital shelves for the Champions of Slaanesh Army Set now that it's officially upon us. While pickings are slim, you can get the Emperor's Children box for from Amazon UK (albeit over RRP) alongside eBay US and eBay UK. However, bear in mind that most listings on eBay are wildly overpriced (or come with hefty postage fees) so should be avoided.

I'm hopeful all that will change before long. Warhammer itself notes that stock is only "temporarily unavailable," so more must be on the way. I'd suggest keeping a very close eye out as a result, and I'll be adding offers here when I find them.

Champions of Slaanesh Army Set | $284.99 at Amazon

Sorry folks, the world's biggest retailer doesn't have a discount on Noise Marines and co. just yet. Actually, the price here is a way beyond the MSRP (and more than it was last week), which makes me think a third-party reseller is trying their luck. Because other Army Sets typically fall in price shortly after launch, keep an eye on the listing. I'd be surprised if it didn't get a reduction soon.

Champions of Slaanesh Army Set | From $200 at eBay

Much like Target, eBay resellers are having a field day with the Emperor's Children box set. However, there are some decent offers floating around if you take the time to look. I wouldn't advise using anyone charging over $230, though, because I'm sure reasonably-priced stock will be back soon.

This would be a fantastic discount on the Emperor's Children box (it's listed as $195.99 rather than $230), but it's out of stock right now. There's a chance the retailer will get more units in soon, so watch this listing like a hawk.

Avoid this one for now. The only offer I could find here is from a reseller who has boosted the price of the Army Set way past MSRP. Don't give them your cash.

Unfortunately for us, it's not possible to get the Emperor's Children army box direct from the source at the moment. The listing says that more stock is on the way, so hopefully it'll be back soon.

Unfortunately, last month's excellent discount on the Emperor's Children Army Set has evaporated... only to be replaced by this option that's a good £20 or so over RRP.

Champions of Slaanesh Army Set | From £150 at eBay

Even though it's a over the RRP, eBay sellers are some of the few people I've seen with stock. Just beware of those asking for way over the normal price, because I suspect more units will arrive shortly.

The Emperor's Children are currently unavailable at Magic Madhouse, but I suspect that'll change before long. Keep an eye on this one, because the retailer is normally great at Warhammer discounts.

Here's another example of the box set having a discount (down to £116), but being temporarily unavailable. This is the best offer I've seen so far, which means I'd watch it like a hawk in case the offer comes back.

Annoyingly, even Games Workshop has run out of stock for the Emperor's Children box. It says the situation is temporary though, so with any luck it'll be back soon.

Should you buy the Champions of Slaanesh Army Set?

Warhammer 40,000 Noise Marines

As a massive fan of the Chaos Space Marine legions (they were my first army back when I was a kid), I'm a little biased. However, everything I've seen so far after a few days with my review sample has left me impressed. As you'll be able to see from glancing at product shots, these models are very handsome indeed - in spite of all the flayed skin and spiky bits, they're easily the most elegant agents of Chaos. I've been cobbling together some Infractors (the base model's close-combat variant that wades into battle with a pistol and short sword) and I've been delighted by the delicate swirls and curves of their decorative armor plating. Painting with such vibrant colors is oddly freeing, as well; I almost never get to work on such a bright, ballsy, in-your-face army.

There's a wealth of customization options on the sprue here too, allowing you to personalize your units in a multitude of ways (always a bonus when you're painting multiple sets of the same unit). Oh, and they hit hard on the tabletop as well. The beloved Noise Marines' weapons ignore cover and reduce Battle-shock or Leadership tests for an enemy unit hit by them, for instance.

Speaking of play, adding two squads of the coming-soon Flawless Blades and removing the box's Noise Marines (!) will give you a complete Combat Patrol , the Callous Blades, for Warhammer 40K's shorter game type. That's a big improvement over the rather light Death Korps of Krieg Army Set, and makes it a pretty decent start for beginners. It's a solid foundation.

Is it weird that the Emperor's Children Combat Patrol doesn't include the force's most iconic unit, the Noise Marines? Absolutely, though I appreciate that it's an army focused on melee action. And sure, the Codex has come under some fire for being light on units. But this is the first Codex the Emperor's Children have had, and that means there's more than enough lore, mechanics, and campaign rules to entrench fans in the world of Fulgrim's finest.
