So, while those rumors were fake, Space Marines are super likely, but on the other end of the spectrum, we’re definitely not getting Leagues of Votann, Imperial Guard, or World Eaters. Getting a full, workable army of Imperial Knights in one box is a rare opportunity – and the Imperial Knights Chainbreaker Lance Battleforce does provide a noticeable discount. The releases, like every release, will go live at 10:00 am on the Saturday at both GW.com and your favourite online retailers.

Unsurprisingly the Ultramarines option features a lot of guys on foot. While obviously a decent starter set for someone who wants to play Ultramarines, this is probably one of the harder sets to apply to a different chapter since five of the characters have lots of Ultramarines iconography on them that’s a pain to convert. Existing Space Marine players aren’t likely to get much use out of this box since Hellblasters and Intercessors are commonplace. Storm of Chogoris Having reviewed the 40k battleforce value there’s definitely something for fans of the armies on offer, but it feels like they’re targeted towards new players, or those that havent’t already got the named characters. They aren’t all fantastic but theres some strong foundations and averaging about 33% savings isn’t to be sniffed at. If you want to get the biggest 40k battleforce value then the Thousand Sons, Knights and Custodes are your best options in our opinion – but what do you think the best box is this year? Let us know in the comments! Savings-wise, we’re once again probably looking at last year for reference where we had anything from 30% – 37% in savings for these boxes versus buying the units individually at retail. That’s Nothing to sniff at! it’s a solid saving.

Sanctorum Guard

Also headed up by a massive daemon primarch – the Death Lord Mortarion– the Death Guard Council of the Death Lord Battleforce has 20 models total, including:

Yellowest of yellow Space Marines, thestalwart sons of Rogal Dorn (the primarch, not the Imperial Guard’s Rogal Dorn Battle Tank) get a total of 19 models in their Imperial Fists Bastion Strike Force box– namely: One of the more specialized boxes, this Battle Force’s primary source of appeal is the two Invictor Warsuits which offer a viable combination of speed and firepower. Unfortunately it’s hampered by the Reivers, as Space Marines are already quite good at killing unarmored targets and abilities that effect Leadership rarely do anything. Outside of Shrike the box is easily applied to other Chapters. If this boxed set included Infiltrators instead of the Reivers that Games Workshop loves to put into everything (no matter how few actually see the battlefield) then it would be a lot more appealing. Contents: Marneus Calgar and Victrix Honor Guard, Chief Librarian Tigurius, 3 Bladeguard Veterans, 10 Intercessors, 10 Hellblasters, 2 (?) Ultramarines Upgrade Sprues The Raven Guard had none, the Imperial Fists had 2 sprues. now WarComteam did say that each of these new boxes comes with upgrade sprues, but not all of the photos reflect them being used at all.

There were eight 40k Christmas Battleforces in 2022. That is huge, as starting in 2016, there were only eight battleforces altogether for both AoS and Warhammer 40k total! Now GW, wheres the Space Wolves Box with Ragnar? The Blood Angels Box with Mephiston? and we all know that surely the Dark Angels box will drop as the first place we can get Azrael. You can find rules for using Escher Cutters in The Aranthian Succession – Cinderak Burning . Escher Tactics Cards and Ash Wastes Dice Should you need Intercessors then this is the box for you. Featuring enough models to form a complete Patrol, this box is probably the best starter for anyone who doesn’t have Space Marines but is interesting is trying them out. The Salamanders Upgrade Sprue includes some fun bits that are applicable to other chapters, including thunder hammers and torch bits. The Eradicators are also one of the more effective units in Space Marine forces, and with the Salamanders Super Doctrine the flamer Aggressors can be surprisingly terrifying. What’s Right for You? Battleforce Box Price” Assumed until confirmed Raven Guard Ravenstrike Battle Force (Contents, Price, Value & Savings)

A fairly varied mix of Adeptus Mechanicus units that looks like a solid starter army out of the box, the Adeptus Mechanicus Elimination Maniple Battleforce comes with 20 models total, including: So expect more on these very soon, and get ready to save those hobby dollars for what is normally the first week of December release date! What We Know About Warhammer Battleforces Since 2016 With Space Marines being the bread & butter of 40k forces, and with recent complaints of GW’s ongoing price inflations – This is a fantastic way of getting hands-on with a larger force for a little less. Ok, let’s get on with it. Space Marine Battleforces – Price, Value & Savings Assumptions However, the battleforces didn’t stop there, as they also released new Space Marine boxes and even an Arks of Omen battleforce box.If you are new to Battleforce boxes let me start with a warning you should probably heed. they sell out. FAST! FOMO is naturally true with these boxes. It’s always been the case and I expect the same to be true this year. The Adeptus Custodes are the most magnificent of the Emperor’s warriors, sworn to protect the Throneworld from rebels, invaders, and anyone looking to open their presents early. This Battleforce puts the peerless Captain-General Trajann Valoris at the head of a powerful cadre comprising three Vertus Praetors on Dawneagle Jetbikes (which can also build a Shield Captain) and three indomitable Allarus Custodians (which can also build a Shield-Captain and a Vexilus Praetor). The bulk of this unbreakable force is made up of 15 Custodian Guard , which also have options to build Shield Captains and Vexilus Praetors. Adeptus Mechanicus – Elimination Maniple This would closely mirror last year’s Battleforce release date, which was December 4th 2021. Warhammer 40,000 2022 Battleforce Boxes – Price & Savings Note that this boxed set does not contain any upgrade sprues, as the Reiver shoulder pads are different from the Intercessor pads in the upgrade set. Instead the box comes with three transfer sheets. Scions of Macragge It’s just a sign of the times, unfortunately, with the GW price increase that came in March of 2022, we do get less for our money. Which is why I do hate comparing the boxes to previous years. prices of stuff go up every year and this one is no exception.

This is another solid themed army with Morvenn Vhal and the Paragon Warsuits making up the core. If you wanted to start an Adepta Sororitas army this is a great place to go. But does it make us want to play that army? Eh…It’s a little unfair because I, personally, don’t like their Faith Point mechanics. But I got out voted which is why they come in at #5. Dominate the ash wastes with these new skimmer mounts for Escher gangs. This kit includes four fast-flying machines which Leaders, Champions, and Prospects can ride. There are head and hair options for the riders, along with a choice of twin-linked heavy stubbers, grenade launchers, or plasma guns.Contents: Kayvaan Shrike, Librarian in Phobos Armour, 10 Reivers, 2 Invictor Warsuits, 3 Eliminators, Raven Guard Transfer Sheets However, the boxes for Chaos are pretty decent, but a huge value comes in the way of the big characters, so if you already have them, it doesn’t have too much other value. Looking at this list, a few boxes (especially for 40k) come out almost every year, like Space Marines and Nids. It seems that lately, AoS has newer factions, whereas Warhammer 40k is a mix of both newer and older (like Guard in 2020). Anyone who had nuns in big metal jumpsuits on their Christmas bingo card is going to be rubbing their hands with glee at the Sanctorum Guard battleforce, which contains 23 saintly miniatures. Morven Vahl spearheads a cohort of six Paragon Warsuits, while a complement of Celestian Sacresants and a Battle Sister squad give you more zealots than you can shake a brazier at. Battleforce: Adeptus Custodes – Watchers of The Gate This is an important question when looking at what factions could be next. It’s u nclear if sprues are new production or taken from existing slow-moving products and reboxed into battleforces.
