Quick Answers to Your Questions:
Can I buy the models in the box separately?
Yes. Independent releases of the models usually follow a box release so expect the release of the new models for Belial, the Deathwing Terminator Squad and the Deathwing Knights about 6 weeks post-launch, though this timeline has historically fluctuated between 3 and 8 weeks.
The box is not available anymore on the Games Workshop website, can I still get it somehow?
Is the Deathwing Assault Box a Good Deal?
At $220 the Deathwing Assault is on the expensive side of Warhammer 40K but it’s definitely worth the price. It’s cheaper than the recently launched Space Marines Spearhead Force, it has 2 more miniatures, a unique character (Belial) and a Codex Suplement.
