Let me start off by saying that the dark vengeance kit really blows the black reach set out of the water. Everything snapped together a lot better. I still glued everything down anyways. The only thing that had to be glued was two cultists and the sword arm of the chaos lord. I have no opinion of the good guy side of it because I don't plan on keeping them. The details in this kit is also substantially better. The chaos chosen look excellent, with the exception of both the bolter carrying ones looking the exact same. I am contemplating using the chosen as aspiring champions.
Here are my gripes. Every box set I have bought seemed desperately one sided. I have yet to play a strictly dark vengeance game, but I think that the dark angels could roll over the crimson slaughter. As with the Orkz from the Black Reach set, games workshop has yet to release some follow up box sets. Granted, they did release a plastic helbrute after a long time. The deffkoptas never got a kit and the chosen haven't either. It is unfortunate because I think they are fantastic models. A box set of cultist really needs to come out as well.
My final verdict is that the box sets are a great way to build an army even for a seasoned player. Games workshop seems to keep upping their game with each new box set they release. I can't believe it took games workshop this long to release a helbrute kit, I wonder how much longer it will be before I see a chosen box set or even a cultist set. These models will make a nice addition to my growing Word Bearers army.
