My take
This is the week to start a new army. Nagash in a box with 32 spirits is the headline for Age of Sigmar, and the Necrons box with a C'tan Shard is a huge deal for 40K. As an Ultramarines player, the Indomitus Task Force is the obvious one for me: a Terminator Captain, a Chaplain, a Redemptor and twenty marines, all shown in Ultramarines blue. Which Battleforce are you grabbing?
