Should you buyThe Soulblight Gravelords are marching back onto Warhammer Age of Sigmar tables very soon, but is that reflected by Deathrattle Army Set stock? The answer is a distinct "sort of."If you go straight to the source (or hit larger retailers), you'll be plum out of luck. But if you head down paths less trodden and try independent retailers instead, you'll have much more fortune when it comes to Deathrattle Army Set stock.
The Soulblight Gravelords box has had its price slashed in the UK to £116 at Magic Madhouse instead of £145, for example, while US hobbyists can grab the Warhammer Age of Sigmar release for a heavily reduced $195.50 at Flipside Gaming rather than the normal $230. eBay in both regions is also doing well for units, though you do have to watch for markups and shipping.
To save you the trouble of trawling the internet, I've rounded up all the Deathrattle Army Set stock I can find here - including any discounts that cross my path. This should help you save cash as well as time.Where to buy Deathrattle Army Set: USDeathrattle Army Set | $230 $195.
50 at Flipside GamingSave $34.50 - One of the few places I've been able to find the box set right now is this indie retailer, and even though it's not listing the item as a discount, it's still much less than the $230 MSRP. Some quick research shows them to be a reliable source too.

Sit tight, and keep checking.View DealShould you buy the Deathrattle Army Set?(Image credit: Games Workshop)I've been putting together these new Soulblight Gravelords after receiving an early review copy of the Deathrattle Army Set, and I must say, I'm impressed.
I've always thought that Cursed City (which is arguably one of the best board games for dungeon crawler fans) had the best undead miniatures, but this matches or exceeds them.If you've seen Deathrattle models before, you know what to expect; unnervingly unnatural poses, rusty armor, leering skulls, and a general sense that touching their knackered weapons would give you tetanus. However, the foot-soldiers included here (the Elite Barrow Guard) don't seem to have the same issues that their fellows had back in the day - the limbs are a lot stronger, and less likely to break during assembly.
Despite their complex appearance, these minis are easy to make as well. That goes for the cavalry too, which I hadn't expected. Unlike the new Stormcast Eternals from last year, these mounted knights aren't a royal headache to build.
Painting them is surprisingly straightforward as well. Even if you use the verdigris effect for armor on display in the cover art, it's a simple process that actually rewards slight messiness. I opted for a properly rusty effect using splodges of brown and orange followed by a light metallic drybrush, and that looked great in an alarmingly short period of time.
Similarly, the skirts aren't much hassle either. There isn't much of it to hit no matter the color-scheme you settle on, so it's not going to be a nightmare of layering that you'd find on cloak or robe-heavy models.Honestly, I'd even recommend this box set to newcomers.
This straightforward paint process makes them a doddle even if you're a Warhammer greenhorn, and the Army Book reveals that, along with many units from this set, the Spearhead (the smaller, more focused game type for Age of Sigmar) only requires a single box of Deathrattle Skeletons and a Wight King model to complete. That's easy to get your hands on.The main drawback I could see would be if you prefer to field zombies or vampire units.
This set is entirely focused on skeletons, so won't scratch that itch.If you want more money off, be sure not to miss the best MTG deals. It's worth dropping in on these board game deals too.
