It’s time to save, as GW just revealed the six new 2023 Warhammer 40k Christmas Battleforces and what every box will contain!
Well, it looks like the rumors were all true, and we’re getting six boxes this year! The rumors even got the contents more or less perfect, but it’s better to actually have the boxes confirmed from GW!
If you play any of the armies on the list, it might be time to start saving, as the value in these boxes is usually quite good.
Six New Christmas 2023 Warhammer 40k Battleforces Have Been Revealed by GW!
The latest on the new 2023 Warhammer 40k Christmas Battleforces boxes comes from Warhammer Community.
The festive season always brings some extra-special goodies in the form of annual Warhammer 40,000 army boxes. These amazing boxed sets are packed to the brim with miniatures, and make a brilliant way to start a new project or reinforce your favourite faction.
These are always great, as it’s hard to find a value like this throughout the year. So, if your army has one of these, try your best to snag one! Let’s jump into it.
Defenders of the Ancestors – Leagues of Votann Battleforce
The Leagues of Votann place the defence of their Ancestor Cores as the highest priority, and nothing but their biggest guns will do when enemies come knocking. A rock-hard core of 10 Einhyr Hearthguard are led by an Einhyr Champion as they bundle into a heavily-armed Hekaton Land Fortress, backed up by the wisdom of a Grimnyr living ancestor while a Sagitaur ATV provides mobile fire support.
Sagitaurs have been hard to get, Land Fortresses are great, and Hearthguard is probably the best unit in the army, so this is a fantastic box!
Beast Snagga Stampede – Orks Battleforce
As snow begins to fall and friends gather to exchange gifts, who better to loot an enticing bounty of presents than the Beast Snaggas? These green-hued big game hunters are ready to scrap, led by legendary everything-killer Mozrog Skragbad – who can be built as a standard Beastboss on Squigosaur, if you prefer – at the head of three Squighog Boyz and a Nob on Smasha Squig. They’re joined by a Painboss medic and a mob of 10 Beast Snagga Boyz, who mount up in a psyker-strapped Kill Rig – which can alternatively be built as a Hunta Rig and a psychic Wurrboy on foot – to keep up with the cavalry for a jolly old winter punch-up.
If you want a bunch of Beast Snaggas, this box is for you! Buff up your forces or start a new army; this is a great pickup for people who love Beast Snaggas.
Cadian Defence Force – Imperial Guard
Guardsmen with lasguns, big rumbling tanks… is there any more an Astra Militarum fan could want? The Cadian Defence Force is a classic assemblage of humanity’s might, pairing 20 Cadian Shock Troops and a five-model Cadian Command Squad with two mighty Rogal Dorn battle tanks, presenting an immovable wall of firepower. It’s enough to make the most ambitious Black Crusader think twice.
There was some back and forth on this box since it was spotted early. However, the Rogal Dorn tanks are pretty awesome, and this box can help you make the tech switch to the new tanks. Or, if you’re just starting an army, this is a great place to do it.
Space Marines Spearhead Force
The fastest fighters amongst the new Space Marine releases have wasted no time in forming a Spearhead Force. This boxed set is bursting with 15 of the new Jump Pack Intercessors, led by a Captain with Jump Pack. Such speed needs exceptionally mobile fire support to back it up, so the box also includes a squad of three Outriders and an Invader ATV to add firepower to their overwhelming assault.
Well, do you want Jump Pack Intercessors? If you do, get this box; if you don’t, then it’s a hard pass!
Onslaught Swarm – Tyranids
Bury your foes in a relentless tide of claws with the Onslaught Swarm, one of the most terrifying assemblages of Tyranid monstrosities ever stuffed into a box. A massive Norn Emissary joins up with a Winged Hive Tyrant – which can also be built as a ground bound Hive Tyrant or Swarmlord – to lead a tide of 20 leaping, scything Hormagaunts and 10 ravening Genestealers, with a pair of Ripper Swarms to boot.
This box has a lot of leftovers (sort of) from the Leviathan box, but if you want a Norn Emissary and a Winged Hive Tyrant, this will probably save you a bunch of money.
Exalted of the Red Angel – World Eaters
Da Red Gobbo will soon be packing up his squig-sleigh to fly across the sky bringing presents to all, and what better gift could you ask for than a mountain of skulls and eviscerated corpses? Angron, Daemon Primarch of Khorne, is getting into spirit of things by packing up his most devoted warriors – 10 Khorne Berzerkers and six Exalted Eightbound, who can alternatively be built as Eightbound – for a worldwide stampede of bloodsoaked mayhem. Don’t forget to leave out the milk and biscuits!
This box is pretty cool if you want Angron! However, if you already grabbed Angron, this box will probably be a pass. So, it may be more geared toward people starting a new army.
Either way, grab this and the Combat Patrol, and you’ll have a really solid force to start!
