Lol, BA v Orks? Really, you guys want to buy a starter box for two armies with completely out dated codices?
I wanted an Other option for Imperial Knights Vs. Anything.
But there wasn't so I went with Imperial Guard vs. Chaos Cultists.
Where is the option for Squats vs Zoats?
As awesome as Black Reach was to flesh out a horde, I also have a huge pile of the 2nd ed starter orks.. Unless a starter had killa kans, buggies, plastic meganobs, stormboys, ard'boys, and characterful grots (or any combination of this really) I feel like it would be a bit redundant. Also.. Blood Angels.. no thanks.. I have Ultramarines, Dark Angels and nondescript whatever from all the different starters and the last thing I want is some more SM with pre-molded shoulder pads. If they had removable shoulder pads.. then MAYBE they would be alright...
As for what I would like to see? I chose Tyranids vs Necrons and Eldar vs D Eldar ..
T vs N -T Prime, Raveners, Gargoyles, Hormagants - Cryptek, Lord, Deathmarks, tomb blade(s), some Warriors, and maybe a Spyder with swarms
E vs DE - Dire Avengers, War Walker(s), Farseer, Warp Spiders - Talos or Venom, Warriors, Hellions, Archon
yeah SM VS Nids 2 armies i have 2 armies that i always want new models in! good idea
However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!
A knee high fence, my one weakness
Ba vs Orks honestly if they are going to be doing this as a 6.5 update then splitting the box between the 2 factions set for that release sounds like a brilliant idea. I know the last set for 5th sold very well and the dark vengance one was a nice set as well so i look forward to seeing what they would do for this starter. heck if they would release a starter half way through each book i know i would buy one. having an updated rule book is alot better then carrying around a bunch of faq's.
