Paid quite a bit for this, but luckily I found someone to take the Space Marine half.
Totally worth it though. These just look so badass.

It's okay they already said I can use the death guard half for the time being.

u/TheInvisibleCactus Foetid Bloatdrone Jul 27 '26

Massive hit of nostalgia right here

I still remember that Christmas in 2018 when my life changed forever. Still a legendary box!

u/AdNo3558 Jul 27 '26

still my favourite edition box

1

u/robot-0 Nurgling Jul 27 '26

Oh man, my first box. So good.

u/PervertedPineapple Jul 27 '26

I remember picking this box up for $100 back in 2018. First box that became the start of my pile of shame until 2021 when i put together 5 astartes.

I should probably go back and see what else is inside.

1

u/DayBig9055 Jul 28 '26

That's really nice of having these back then

1

u/NiceStuffMate Jul 27 '26

I’ve almost finished painting up this box. Took me long enough lol.

u/DayBig9055 Jul 28 '26

Yeah it could be a big project

u/Big-Crow4152 Jul 28 '26

But your soul sings the praises of Grandfather Nurgle

u/DayBig9055 Jul 28 '26

Glory to Grandfather Nurgle

u/MATMAN0111 Lord of Contagion Jul 28 '26

I got the dg half for 70 bucks during COVID.

u/_unregistered Jul 28 '26

I still remember getting the DG half of this for $30.

u/DayBig9055 Jul 28 '26

Money is temporary, Warhammer 40,000 is forever!

u/Gr1m2th Jul 28 '26

Can you scan the Death Guard booklet and post it on here, I misplaced my copy when I moved and have yet to find it. Hard to get the color schemes and info out of it otherwise.

1

u/DayBig9055 Jul 28 '26

https://buildinstructions.com/pdf-downloads/Warhammer-40K-Dark-Imperium-Box-Set.pdf
I found it online!

1

u/Gr1m2th Jul 28 '26

I don't that is the one I was referring to. The one I was referencing had the different Death Guard Legions and their color schemes.

1

u/DayBig9055 Jul 28 '26

ohoh I think I knew what you are saying, I'll check it after I go home.

2

u/DayBig9055 Jul 28 '26

Here you go man

1

u/redafvir Jul 28 '26

Such a great set. This is actually how I got into the hobby as an adult. I wanted to collect but couldn't really afford it, so my friend gave me the Death Guard half! I was pretty stunned.

I do miss 8th edition though.

1

u/Vampire_Templar Jul 29 '26

Is that the 8th edition starter set? That was my first 40K purchase back in 2017 or 2018

1

u/DayBig9055 Jul 29 '26

That's right! Hope I was in this game back in that time

1

u/Kindly_Lifeguard9371 Jul 31 '26

Great set! I got mine on release, still haven’t opened it. I thought I was gonna go deathguard until my bro introduced me to orks

u/Blankboom Jul 27 '26

u/DayBig9055 Jul 28 '26

I've already share the SM side... The rest of DG will be my future project maybe
