Let’s faux for a second that 40k tenth version is correct across the nook. There’s a brand new Launch Box on the best way — however what’s in it?
If you would resolve which two armies can be within a brand new Launch Box for a brand new version what two armies would you decide? I’ve obtained some ideas on the matter however simply so we’re clear that is totally wish-listing. Heck, in case you’ve obtained any pairings you’d wish to see drop them within the feedback and tell us! Maybe we’ll get fortunate and GW will “borrow” one in all our concepts. With that stated, let’s dive in!
Space Marines vs Orks – The Old School Safe Bet
Games Workshop has performed this one earlier than. Space Marines vs Orks is a basic match-up! You can’t actually go incorrect with this pairing…except you launch a specific equipment that’s solely accessible in that set for say…oh 5 editions?
That would by no means occur! Again. Maybe.
World Eaters vs Tyranids – The Wild Card Option
The World Eaters are (presently) the final introduced Codex for the present version. Would it make sense for them to indicate up within the subsequent version’s Launch Box? That could possibly be fairly cool! I’m not totally certain how all that might work with their outdated codex getting virtually instantly invalidated on account of a brand new version and that would really feel slightly like salt on a sore wound. I’d nonetheless wish to see this pairing nevertheless.
Why? Because Khorne’s forces saved the Blood Angel’s bacon from the Tyranids within the occasions of the Battle of Baal. I type of need the Tyranids to get some payback! “Oh but that was Khorne Daemons, not World Eaters!” That’s true. But Daemons and Tyranids don’t actually combine. There’s no souls for the Daemons to torment and there’s no biomass for the Tyranids to digest. It’s only a lose-lose battle for each. At least with World Eaters there’s bio-mass to eat and the Tyranids might have some cool skulls to take. Plus it’d be an actual “who’s eating who” scenario.
Adeptas Sororitas vs Leagues of Votann – Battle of the Exo-suits
Alright, I actually simply needed to see a bunch of fashions in Exo-suits combating with this one. The different possibility was Grey Knights and their Dreadknight…however I figured we might get extra Adeptas Sororitas within the field as a substitute.

I additionally assume mechanically these two armies would each be type of good to battle. The Sisters have their Faith Points to mess with whereas the Leagues have their Judgements to dish out. Wait, now that I give it some thought, this would possibly truly be a horrible field to throw collectively. Specifically for brand new gamers. No, we have to keep in mind the Launch Boxes are supposed to be designed with new gamers in thoughts. We want simpler armies to handle as a result of they could be studying the sport. Hmm…again to the drafting board.
Astra Militarum vs Necrons – More Machines Than Man
You know the Necrons and the Astra Militarum did get to throwdown contained in the Gallowdark. This could possibly be a enjoyable revisiting of that. Plus the Necrons featured within the earlier Launch Box and are nonetheless exhibiting up on the event scene. It can be a cool means for GW to get some extra love for the Astra Militarum, too. And it appears like they’re getting a fairly large launch quickly. I believe this could possibly be a great pairing!
The machines of the Astra Militarum vs the Necron’s residing metallic machines!
Space Marines vs Space Marines – The Mirror Match!
What’s that? There’s a whole recreation system that focuses on the battle of Marines vs Marines? And it already obtained a launch field, too?! …SO IT CAN WORK!
It can be attention-grabbing to see Space Marines combating one another — however perhaps one of many non-standard codex chapters. What a few Space Wolves vs Dark Angels field? That’s a battle that I believe we’d all wish to see occur. Let’s settle the outdated grudge as soon as and for all! Look, “it’s just a training mission” alright? That’s not actual blood. The Chainswords have been faux…I promise.
There are so many pairing choices! What two armies would you wish to see throw down in a brand new Launch field?
