Okay, looking at the scale of the model with the scale of the Temple of Skulls, I hope it's as tall as a rhino so that it'll actually be a very GOOD terrain piece for 40k.
Hmmmn, I should build my own from scratch as the design gave me great ideas that I didn't think of before. Now I must visit Michaels for some leftover Halloween skulls. =P

I WISH THERE WERE OPTIONAL CARVED MARKINGS IN THE SLATE/STONES. AS A NON-CHAOS ARMY OWNER/PLAYER THIS DOESN'T APPEAL TO ME VERY MUCH. IF THERE WERE, HOWEVER OPTIONS FOR THE FLOOR I WOULD BE ADDING THIS TO MY TABLE
NOT BUYING.
IF YOU ARE STARTING OUT AS AN EMPIRE PLAYER, THIS IS A BETTER VALUE OVER THE OLDER ARMY BOX AS THE NEW PLASTIC GREATSWORDS ARE WAY OVER PRICED AND MAY ACTUALLY MAKE THIS BOX WORTH IT. OLD BOX HAD THE SAME MIX BUT WITH THE MORTAR/CANNON INSTEAD. CANNON = 25 GREAT SWORDS = 41.25 FOR 10 GUYS. NORMALLY YOU'D WANT 15-20ISH.
SO BOX SET IS THE WAY TO GO
BUT ALSO NOT BUYING.
WHERE'S THE WIZARD ON PEGASUS MULTI-PART PLASTIC BOX????? I'D BUY 2!

Leave your caps lock by accident?
You can fill in the chaos marking on the floor with a bit of drywall compound or other filler.
Odd that the inclusion of the goldswords would make anyone think the Empire box is a good deal. It blows. The 1982 vintage knights are horrid.

CAPS MANDATORY AT WORK, NETWORK LOCKDOWN...
I WANT TO KEEP THE TEXTURE OF THE STONES WITHOUT FILLING EVERYTHING UP. TOO LAZY TO SPEND THE TIME. ALSO THE SPIRES DIDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING FOR ME.
AS FAR AS THE 'VALUE FACTOR' I WAS PURELY GOING ON PRICE PERSPECTIVES. I ALREADY OWN THIS STUFF. THE MAIN POINT IS THAT THE $'S PRICE OF THE MODELS IN THE NEW BOX SEEMED A BETTER VALUE COMPARED TO THE OLD BOX. (IF THERE WERE NO PISTOLIERS)
OLD BOX $90 - 10 STATE TROOPS, 10 HANDGUNNERS, 5 PISTOLIERS, 8 KNIGHTS, & CANNON MORTAR. INDIVIDUAL KITS PRICE TOTAL = $126 SAVINGS = $36 PRICE / MODEL AT BATTALION PRICE = $2.65 ASSUMING THE CANNON IS ONE MODEL (34 MODELS) - 5 SEPARATE CHOICES
NEW BOX ($95 ESTIMATED) - 20 STATE TROOPS, 10 HANDGUNNERS, 8 KNIGHTS, 10 GREATSWORDS. INDIVIDUAL KITS PRICE TOTAL = 142.25 SAVINGS = 47.25 PRICE / MODEL AT BATTALION PRICE = $1.98 (48 MODELS) 4/5 SEPARATE CHOICES (NO ARTILLERY! BOO)
I TOTALLY FORGOT THE PISTOLIERS WERE INCLUDED IN THE OLD BOX. THE NEW BOX DEFINITELY LOOKS LESS AWESOME NOW THAT I'VE FACTORED IN WHAT YOU GET. THERE IS DEFINITELY LESS VARIETY,
I'M NOT BEARDY ENOUGH / HAVN'T BEEN PLAYING LONG ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THAT GREATSWORDS WERE ONCE CALLED GOLD SWORDS.
OVERALL CONCLUSION - GW IS A BAD VALUE. HAHA

Ok, now I'm curious. What possible reason could there be for having a company policy to always have the caps lock on?

My place of work is in china and so you have to press the caps lock button to change the language on the computer from chinese to english meaning that occasionally everything goes tits up and everything you write for a couple of days is in capital letters! though it isn't company policy! ;-)

Nice piece of terrain, it looks like it could be used in 40k without any change either which is nice. Little dissapointed in the Empire Batallion if this is the beginning of battallions/battleforces going to £60 :/

Yeah, the price increase shown in the new empire boxed sets is pretty atrocious. every other army gets their ten man elite box set for around 25 and for some reason it's now over 40 dollars for ten plastic models. The steam tank is also almost as much as it was when it was metal. it makes me worry as to what other prices are about to jump up to. worst of all it's going to bring down the overall value of all the battalion boxed sets.

$29.75? That is the most randomly priced GW product I've ever seen.
That said, the skulls are awesome. Throw some spare Cities of Death building panels on there and it could easily be the ruins of an Imperial building.

Just don't think the shrine looks very "fantasy". It's also not desparately practical, have fun putting a unit on that!
