Each of the new Army Boxes features a complete 50-point army from one of the factions of the two games. Each Army Box contains previously released models at a significant discount, and are intended for new players or veterans wanting to start a new faction army.

The Protectorate Army Box 2017 will include the Warcaster Vice Scrutator Vindictus, two Sanctifiers, a Redeemer, a six-piece Choir of Menoth, 10 Exemplar Errants, 6 Knights Exemplar, and Visgoth Juviah Rhoven with Honor Guard. MSRP is $154.99.

The Skorne Army Box 2017 comes with the Warlock Archdomina Makeda, a Titan Gladiator, a Titan Sentry, a Basilisk Krea, 10 Praetorian Swordsmen plus an Officer and Standard Attachement, 10 Praetorian Karax plus Officer and Standard Attachement, 3 Paingiver Beast Handlers, and Orin Midwinter. MSRP is $169.99.

Like the first two sets, the Cryx Army Box 2017 and the Circle Orboros Army Box 2017, these Army Boxes will be small limited runs sold direct to retailers only in North America (see “Privateer Reveals First Direct-to-Retailer ‘Army Boxes’”).

In a statement to ICv2, Privateer reinforced its commitment to the traditional distributor model in its business strategy, stating that the Army Boxes are a test of their new format and do not represent an attempt to bypass their distributor partners (for the full statement, see “Privateer Press Reaffirms Traditional Distributors’ Role in Retail Strategy”).
