A bit pricey, although Outpost’s discount is great, but there’s many many hours worth of content in the box and the models are super detailed.

Fantastic game for up to four players. Also fun solo. The models are deep in character and unusual individuals, as well as finally giving official traitor guardsmen (and women!). There is a LOT of extra content out there too, including for solo characters if you want to play by yourself, but not control a team.

good game, expensive in my opinion but a great game.
