I remember when this boxed set first came out and how underwhelming it felt. That and how I really did not like the paint scheme for these Hive Fleet Behemoth Tyranids. That garish red with blue/green armor plates just look a bit unimaginative. (Not dismissing the skill of the painter here, but the choice in colour scheme) I think the Codex Tyranids for 3rd edition had a front cover that featured tyranids from Behemoth. They would've looked a lot better if paintd to resemble that picture.

2:57 gave me a massive nostalgia wave, now assault on black reach is a kit I'd definitely pick up! That was my in to w40k, I still have a couple of the models left over but I lost most of them. Would love to get this box again, and not for the unbelievable price that it goes for on ebay! £200-300!

Also, the 10th edition starter set, which retails for 65 pounds on the same website as Battle for Macragge, comes with a much more impressive, and modern selection of space marines and tyranids. And it comes with the rules and dice.

About a year before this was rereleased I bought it NEW for over $50 what GW is asking. I mainly wanted the terrain. This was the Starter Set when I first got into 40K. I used to think, wow $90 was too much.
@impguardwarhamer
it pains me to say it because I do really want gw to do more of these made to order sets, but yeh at this price point with this set of minis its just not worth it
@thejonathan130
Understandable
@dittmar104
It was a complete miss for me. It should have been reimagined as a kill team box just 5 new gene stealers, 10 new gants and ten intercessor. Call it a battle simulation used for training or history repeating itself on a lost colony
@bopaintsminis
The terrain is vaguely appealing, and the imperial pilot, but the rest? No, not worth it.
